ADVERTISEMENT TO THE STEREOTYPE EDITION. 



THE reputation acquired by the first edition of the Quarto Bible printed and published by Isaac Collins, at 
Trenton, New-Jersey, and the importance given to it by a number of printers in this country, who have 
adopted it as their standard for correctness, have naturally excited inquiry respecting the means that were used 
to render it worthy of such distinguished preference. A brief statement of these, it is believed, will not, in this 
place, be improper, or unacceptable to the Public. 

Perceiving that the different European copies of the Bible, even those printed at the Universities of Oxford, 
Cambridge, and Edinburgh, often varied, and sometimes in the use of important words, the Publisher deemed it 
an oliject of the first magnitude to ascertain, if possible, which text was the most correct. 

AVith this view, several characters, eminent for their piety and biblical learning, were appointed, by their re- 
spective religious societies, to superintend the work. Among these were the late Dr. Witherspoon, President of 
Princeton College, New-Jersey, his successor President Smith, James F. Armstrong, a clergyman of Trenton, and 
Dr. Samuel Jones. Some of these persons, James F. Armstrong, in particular, being near the press, assisted 
also in reading and correcting the proof-sheets. During the necessary collation of the text, recourse was had to 
the most authentic copies of the Bible in the original languages, and to the best English versions. Such unwearied 
assiduity could have Ijeen requited only by the complete success with which it was crov/ned. 

In the year 1807, Collins, Perkins and Company, published the second edition of this work, which in every 
respect equalled the one printed at Trenton, and was sold in a short period of time. The third edition, consisting 
of eight thousand copies, was completed by the present Publishers in 1814 ; and already is a new supply demanded 
by the Public. 

Being thus encouraged by the favourable reception of the former editions of " Collins's Bible," and hoping, by 
unremitting care and attention, to merit a continuance of patronage, the Publishers have adopted the highly impor- 

iant mode of printing with Stereotype Plates, by which a permanence is given to the correctness of the work. In 
ilurope, the Stereotype Art is considered of such importance as to be generally adopted for standard works ; and 
from its acknowledged superiority, it is daily becoming more generally used. One peculiarity of this mode of print- 
ing is, that no accumulation of errors can take place ; and, should a few faults have escaped notice in the first im- 
pressions of a book, they can, with facility be corrected. Thus, in Stereotype, a perfection of accuracy may be 
attained — a desideratum on which there needs no comment, particularly when considered in reference to the Holy 
Scriptures. Tin-ough these means, tlie Publishers feel confident of being able to exhibit editions of the Bible en- 
tirely free from errors, and rendered additionally valuable by every other requisite of good printing. 

The Stereotype Editions will be enriched by the addition of Canne's valuable Marginal References, and the 
comprehensive Concordance of John Brown. Engravings of a superior quality, copied from the designs of emi- 
-«Hient painters, will be supplied to those who may order them ; and every attention will be given to have the work 
bound in the best manner, whether in a plain or an elegant style.

TO THE READER. 

As the Dedication of the English translation of the BIBLE to king James the first of England seems to be wholly unnecessai-y 
for the purposes of edification, and perhaps on some accounts improper to be continued in an American Edition, the Editors 
have substituted a short account of the translations of the Old and New Testaments from tlie original Hebrew and Greek in which 
they were written- 

To the Jews was first committed the care of the sacred Writings, and for many ages tiiey were in a manner confined to that 
chosen people. There was then no need of translations into other languages ; yet was tlie providence of God particulai-ly manifest 
in their preservation and purity. The Jews were so faidiful to their important trust, that, when copies of tlie law or the prophets 
were transcribed, they observed the most scrupulous exactness : tliey not only diligently compared the one with tlie other, but even 
counted the number of letters in each book, and compared and recorded die numbers. 

The first translations that were made of the Old Testament were after tiie Babylonish captivity. They are called the Targums, 
which word in die Chaldean language signifies Translations. They are also often called the Chaldee Paraphrases ; some of them 
are exact translations of different parts of Scripture ; others are properly paraphrases, containing enlai-geraents, explanations, and 
even additions. Several of diem are yet extant, and they are often mentioned by the antient fadiers of die Clii-istian church. 
Some have affirmed that the five books of Moses and that of Joshua were ti-anslated into Greek before the days of Alexander the 
Great. But the most remarkable translation of the Old Testament into Greek is called die Septuagint, which, if the opinion of some 
eminent wTiters is to be credited, was made in the reign of Ptolemy Philadelphus, about 260 years before die Christian era. At 
any rate it is undoubtedly the most ancient that is now extant, and on many accounts deserving notice, diough not to be put on a level 
with the Hebrew text, as has been sometimes done. 

The New Testament was originally written in Greek ; and no sooner was die Gospel spread through the nations tiian it was found 
necessary to translate die inspired Writings for each into its proper tongue. Some translations of die Old Testament, different from 
the Septuagint, were made into Greek from the vear of Christ's birth 128 to 200. It is generally believed diat the church of Antioch 
was favoured with a SjTian translation of die Bible as early as the year 100. The Ediiopians of Abyssinia have a version of the 
Bible, which they ascribe to Frumentius, of the fourdi century. Chrysostom, who lived in die end of die fourdi, and Theodoret, 
who lived in die middle of the fifdi century, both inform us diat they had die S}Tian, Indian, Persian, Ai'menian, Ethiopic, and 
Scjthian versions. The ancient Eg}'ptians had the Scriptures translated into their language. The Georgians have a version in their 
ancient language. The most ancient German translation is supposed to have been made by Ulphilas, A. D. 360. The Old Testament 
of all diese translations, except die Syrian, is taken from the SepUiagint, and not immediately from the Hebrew text. 

We will now give some account of the translations of die Bible into die English language. There have been some who have 
affirmed that Adelme, Bishop of Sherburn, who lived in the beginning of die eighth century, translated die Psalms into the Saxon 
tongue. That however is uncertain, as some of die best historians make no mention of it ; yet it is possible, as he was a man of 
great parts, and of great learning for diose times, and said to be the first Englishman who WTote in the Latin language. About die 
same time, or a litde after, Bede, commonly called die venerable Bede, translated some pai'ts of die New Testament, some say die 
whole Bible, but that is not probable. Near 200 years later, king Alfred translated die Psalms into the same language. In 1382 
Wickliff finished his translation of the Bible, which is yet extant ; diat is to say, there ai-e copies of it in some publick and private 
libraiies. All these translations were made from die Vulgate. In the reign of Henry the eighth, several* editions of the Old and 
New Testaments were published in English ; one of die most remarkable is that of William Tyndal in 1530. The translation of the 
New Testament was made from die original Greek, but probably die Old Testament either from the Latin of the Vulgate, or die 
Greek of the Septuagint. This was soon followed by the improvements of Coverdale and IMatdiews. By order of the king, Tonstal, 
Bishop of Durham, and Heath, Bishop of Rochester, made a new translation, which was published in 1541 : but, not pleasing 
Henry, it was suppressed by authority. In die reign of king Edward the sixdi, anodier translation was made ; two editions of which 
were published, one in 1549, and the other in 1551. In the reign of queen Elizabeth another translation was made, which, being revised 
by some of the most learned of the Bishops, went by the name of the Bishops' Bible. This professed to be translated from the 
Hebrew of die Old Testament, and the Greek of the New, though in some instances, when there was a difference, it preferred die 
Septuagint to die Hebrew. 

This last circumstance, with some others, induced king James the first to select fifly-four persons, eminent in learning, and 
'particularly well acquainted with die original languages in which die Old and New Testaments were written, to make a new translation 
of the whole Bible. In the year 1607, forty-seven of those persons, the other seven probably having died, assembled together, and 
arranged themselves into committees, to each of which a portion was given to translate. They were favoured not only widi die best 
translations, but \vith the most accurate copies, and tlie various readings of the original text. After about three years assiduous labour, 
diey severally completed the parts assigned them. They then met together, and whi!.e one read the translation nevvly formed, die 
rest had each a copy of the original text in his hand, or some one of the ancient versions, and when any difficulty occurred diey 
stoppe(H till by common consultation it was determined what was most agreeable to die inspired Original. This translation was first 
published A. D. 1610, and is die one which has been ever since that time printed by publick audiorlty, and generally used in the 
British dominions. It may be added widi safetj^, diat it has been generally approved by men of learning and piety of all denominations, 
of which its having never been superseded by any other, for one hundred and eighty years, is a sufficient proof. 

The publisher has only further to add, that he has made die follovving impression from die Oxford edition of 1784 by Jackson 
and Hamilton — and has been particularly attentive in the revisal and correction of the proof-sheets with the Cambridge edition of 
1668 by John Field — with the Edinburgh edition of 1775 by Kincaid, and, in all variations, widi the London edition of 1772 by Eyre 
and Strahan — diat where diere was any difference in words, or in the omission or addition of words, among these, he followed that 
which appeared to be most agreeable to the Hebrew^f Arias IMontanus, and to the Greek of Arias Montanus and Leusden, and 
always ajlopted some one of the above-mentioned English copies as his authority, except in the mode of speUing, in which he has 
generally followed Jolinson.

God created the '' heaven 



2 And the earth was without form, and void ; 
and darkness ivas upon the face of the deep : 
and the " Spirit of God moved upon the face of

6 it And God said, " Let there be t a firma- 
ment in the midst of the waters, and let it divide 
the waters from the waters. 

7 And God made the firmament, and divided 
the waters Avhich ivere under the firmament from 
the waters which icere above the firmament : 
and it was so. 

8 And God called the firmament Heaven. 
And the evening and the morning were the se- 
cond day. 

9 And God said. Let the waters under the 
heave'- ^.^e gathered together unto ^ one place, 
and fct the dry land appear : and it was so, 

10 And God called tlie ^ dry land Earth, and 
the gathering together of the waters called he 
Seas : and God saw that it teas good. 

1 1 And God said, Let the earth f bring forth 
grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit-tree 
yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in 
itself, upon the earth : and it was so. 

12 And the earth brought forth grass, and 
herb yielding seed after his '' kind, and the tree 
yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his 
kind : and God saw that it was good. 

13 And the evening and the morning were 
the third day. 



14 H And God said, Let there be ' lights in 
the firmament of the heaven, to divide f the day 
from the night ; and let them be for signs, and 
for seasons, and for days, and years : 

15 And let them be for lights in the firma- 
ment of the heaveUj to give light upon the 
earth : and it was so. 

1 6 And God made two great lights ; the great- 
I er light to f rule the day, and the lesser light to 

rule the night : he made the stars also. 

17 And God "^ set them in the firmament of 
the heaven, to give light upon the earth, 

18 And to ' rule over the day and over the 
night, and to divide the light from the darkness : 
and God saw that it luas good. 

19 And the evening and the morning were 
the fourth day. 

20 And God said. Let the waters bring forth 
abundantl}'^ the moving creature that hath f life, 

I and fo\\l that may fly above the earth in the open 
firmament of heaven. 

21 And God created great whales, and every 
living creature that moveth, which the waters 
brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and 
every winged fowl after his kind : and God saw 
that it was good. 

22 And God " blessed them, saying. Be fruit- 
ful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas ; 
and let fowl multiply in the earth. 

23 And the evening and the morning were 
the fifth day. 

24 And God said. Let the earth bring forth 
the living creature after his kind, cattle, and 
creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his 
kmd : and it was so. 

25 And God made the beast of the earth after 
his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every 
thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind : 
and God saw that it ivas good. 

26 And God said, " Let us make man in ° our 
image, after our likeness; and let them have 
f dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the 
fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all 
the earth, and over every creeping thing that

CHAPTER VI. 

1 The wickedness of the world, which provoked God's 
wrath, and caused the flood. 8 Noah findcth grace. 
14 The order, form, and end of the ark. 

AND it came to pass, when men began to 
" multiply on the face of the earth, and 
daughters were born unto them, 

2 That the ^ sons of God " saw tiie "" daugh- 
ters of men that they were fair ; and they * took 
them wives of all which they chose. 

3 And the Lord said, ^My spirit shall not al- 
ways strive with man, for that he also is ^ flesh : 
yet his days shall be *■ an hundred and twenty 
years. 

4 There were giants in the earth in those 
days ; and also after that, when the sons of God 
came in unto the daughters of men, and they 
bare children to them : the same became mighty 
men, which were of old, men of renown. 

5 IT And God saw that the wickedness of 
man was great in the earth, and that every ima- 
gination of the thoughts of his heart icas only 
evil continually. 

6 And ' it repented the Lord that he had made 
man on the earth, and it '' grieved him at his 
heart. 

7 And the Lord said, I will destroy man, 
whom I have created, from the face of the earth ; 
t both man and beast, and the creeping thing, 
and the fowls of the air : for it repenteth me 
that I have made them. 

8 But Noah ' found grace in the eyes of the 
Lord. 

9 \ These are the generations of Noah : Noah 
was "" a just man, and perfect in his generations, 
and Noah - walked with God. 



10 And Noali begat three sons, Shem, Ham, 
and Japheth. 

1 1 The earth also was corrupt ° before God ; 
and the earth was filled with violence. 

12 And God looked upon the earth, and, be- 
hold, it was corrupt ; for all flesh had corrupted 
his way upon the earth. 

13 And God said unto Noah, ^ The end of all 
flesh is come before me ; for the earth is '' filled 
with violence through them : and, behold, I will 
destroy them with the earth. 

14 II ]\Iake thee an ark of gopher- wood : 
rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt 
pitch it within and witliout with pitch. 

15 AnA x\i\s, is the fashion which thou shalt 
make it of: the length of the ark shall he three 
hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and 
the height of it thirty cubits. 

16 A window shalt thou make to the ark, and 
in a cubit shalt thou finish it above ; and the 
door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof: 
icith lower, second, and third stories shalt thou 
make it. 

1 7 And, behold, ' I, even I, do bring a flood of 
waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, ^^'here- 
in is the breath of life, from under heaven; and 
every thing that is in the earth ' shall die. 

18 But with thee will i establish my cove- 
nant : and ' thou shalt come into the ark ; thou, 
and thy sons, and thy Avife, and thy sons' wives 
with thee. 

19 And of every living tiling of all flesh, 
" two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, 
to keep them alive with thee : they shall be male 
and female. 

20 Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle 
after their kind ; of every creeping thing of the 
earth after his kind; two of every sort shall 
come ' unto thee, to keep tliem alive. 

21 And take thou unto thee of all food that 
is eaten, and thou shalt gatlier it to thee ; and it 
shall be for food for thee, and for them. 

22 ^ Thus did Noah ; according to all that 
God commanded him, so did ^ he. 

CHAPTER VII. 

1 Noah with his family and the living creatures enter into 
the ark. 17 The beginning, increase, and continuance 
of the flood. 

AND the Lord said unto Noah, "" Come 
thou and all thy ^ house into the ark ; for 
thee have " I seen righteous before me in this 
^ generation. 

2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee 
by t sevens, the male and his female ; and of 
beasts that are not clean by two, the male and 
his female. 

3 Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male 
and the female ; to keep seed alive upon the face 
of all the earth.

GENESIS. 

4 For yet seven days, and ^ I will cause it to 
rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights ; 
and every living substance that I have made will 
I t destroy from off the face of the earth. 

5 And Noah did accordmg unto all that the 
Lord commanded him. 

6 And Noah was six hundred years old when 
the tlood of waters was upon the earth. 

7 H And Noah went in, and ^ his sons, and 
his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the 
ark, t because of the waters of the flood. 

8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not 
clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that 
creepeth upon the earth, 

9 There went ' in two and two unto Noah 
into the ark, the male and the female, as God 
had commanded Noah. 

1 And *" it came to pass, after seven days, 
that the waters of the flood were upon the earth. 

11 W\\ the six hundredth year of Noah's 
life, in the second month, the seventeenth day 
of the month, the same day were all the foun- 
tains of the ' great deep broken up, and the 
'' windows of heaven were opened. 

12 And the rain was upon the earth forty 
days and forty nights. 

13 In the self-same day entered Noah, and 
Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, 
and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons 
with them, into the ark ; 

14 They, and every beast after his kind, and 
all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping 
thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, 
and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every 
sort. 

15 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, 
' two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath 
of life. 

16 And they that went in, went in male and 
female of all flesh, as God had commanded him : 
and the " Lord shut him in. 

17 And the flocd was forty days upon the 
earth : and the waters increased, and bare up 
the ark, and it was lifted up above the earth. 

18 And the waters " prevailed, and were in- 
creased greatly upon the earth ; and the ark 
" went upon the face of the waters. 

19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly 
upon the earth ; and all the ^ high hills that were 
under the whole heaven, were covered. 

20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters pre- 
vail ; and the "^ mountains were covered. 

21 And all flesh died that moved upon the 
earth, lioth of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, 
and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon 
the earth, and "■ every man : 

22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of 
life, of all that was in the dry land^ died. 




The waters assuage 

23 And every living substance was destroyed 
which was upon the face of the ground, both 
man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and 

^ the fowl of the heaven ; and they were destroy- 
ed from the earth : and ' Noah only remained 
alive, and they that were with him in the 
ark. 

24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth 
an ' hundred and fifty days.

seth Canaan, 26 blesseth Shem, 27 prayeth for Japhclh, 
29 and dicth. 

AND God '■ blessed Noah and his sons, and 
said unto them, Be *" fruitful and multiply, 
and replenish the earth. 

2 And " the fear of you, and the dread of you, 
shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon 
every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon 
the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea ; 
into your hand are they delivered. 

3 Every moving thing that ^ liveth shall " be 
meat for you ; even ^ as the green herb have I 
given you all things : 

4 But flesh with the life thereof, which fsthe 
^ blood thereof, shall ye not cat. 

5 And surely your blood of }'our lives will 
I *■ require ; at the hand of ' every beast will I 
require it, and at the hand of man ; at the hand 
of every ^ man's brother will I require the life 

\ of man.

13 I do set my " bow in the cloud, and it shall 
be for a token of a covenant betA^een me and the

14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a 
cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen 
in the cloud : 

15 And I will remember my covenant, which 
is between me and you, and every living crea- 
ture of all flesh ; and tjie Abaters shall no more 
become a flood to destroy all flesh. 

16 And the bow shall be in the cloud, and I 
Avill look upon it, that I may ^ remember the 
everlasting covenant betAveen God and every Ua'-

17 And God said unto Noah, This is ^ the

betAveen me and all flesh that is upon the 
earth. 

18 11 And the sons of Noah, that Avcnt forth 
of the ark, Avere Shem, and Ham, and Japheth : 
and Ham is the father of Canaan. 

19 These are tlie three sons of Noah: and 
of them Avas the Avhole earth overspread. 

20 And Noah began to he an '' husbandman, 
and he planted a vineyard :

drunken ; and he Avas '' uncovered Avithin his 
tent.

CHAPTER X. 

1 The generations of Noah. 2 The sons of Japheth. 
C The sons of Ham. 8 Nimrod the first monarch. 
21 The sons of Shem. 

OW these are the ^ generations of the sons 
of Noah; Shem, Ham and Japheth: and 
unto them were sons born after the flood. 

2 The ^ sons of Japheth ; Gomer, and Magog, 
and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, 
and Tiras. 

3 And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and 
Riphath, and Togarmah. 

4 And the sons of Javan ; Elishah, and Tar- 
shish, Kittim, and Dodanim. 

5 By these were the " isles of the Gentiles 
divided in their lands ; every one after his 
tongue, after their families, in their nations. 

6 11 And the sons of '' Ham ; Cush, and Miz- 
raim, and Phut, and Canaan. 

7 And the sons of Cush ; Seba, and Havi- 
lah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha ; 
and the sons of Raamah, Sheba and Dedan. 

8 And Cush begat || Nimrod ; he began to be 
a mighty one in the earth : 

9 He v/as ^ a mighty hunter ^ before the 
Lord : wherefore it is said. Even ^ as Nimrod 
the mighty hunter before the Lord. 

10 And the beginning of his kingdom was 
Balicl, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in 
the land of Shinar. 

1 1 Out of that land || went forth Asshur, and 
builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and 
Calah, 

12 And Resen, between Nineveh and Calah : 
the same i.s a ^ great city. 

13 And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, 
and Lohabim, and Naphtuhim,

of the Canaanites spread abroad. 

19 And the border of the Canaanites was from 
Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza ; as 
thou goest unto Sodom and Gomorrah, and 
Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha. 

20 ' These are the sons of Ham, after their jps. 37,35 
families, after their tongues, in their countries, 
and in their nations. 

21 5 Unto Shem also, the '' father of all the 
children || of Eber, the brother of Japheth the

22 The children of Shem ; ' Elam, and " As- 
shur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram. 

23 And the children of Aram ; ° Uz, and 
Hul, and Gether, and Mash. 

24 And Arphaxad begat Salah ; and Salah 
begat Eber. 

25 And unto Eber were born two sons ; the 
name of one was " Peleg ; for in his days was the o Luke 3, 
earth divided ; and his brother's name was Joktan. that is, 

26 And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, ^'''^'°''' 
and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah, 

27 And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah, . 

28 And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba, 

29 And P Ophir, and '^ Havilah, and Jobab 
all these tvere the sons of Joktan. 

30 And their dwelling was from Mesha, as isam.5,7! 
thou goest unto Sephar, a " mount of the east. 

31 These are the sons of Shem, after their 
families, after their tongues, in their lands, after 
their nations. 

32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, 
after their generations, in their nations : and by 
these were the nations divided in the earth after 
the flood.

1 God calleth Abram, and blesseth him with a promise 
of Christ. 4 He departeth with Lot from Haran. 6 
He journeyeth through Canaan, 7 which is promised 
him in a vision. 10 He is driven by a famine into

3 And I ^\■ill bless them that bless thee, and

4 So Abram departed, as the Lord had spo- 
ken unto him ; and Lot went with him : and 
Abram was seventy and five years old when he 
^ departed out of Haran. 

5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot 
his brother's son, and all their substance that 
they had gathered, and the souls that they had 
'' gotten in Haran : and they went forth to go 
into the ' land of Canaan ; and into the land of 
Canaan they came.

10 H And there was "^ a famine 'in the land : 
and Abram ' went down into Egypt to sojourn 
there ; for the famine icas grievous in the land. 

1 1 And it came to pass, when he was come 
near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto 
Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou 
art a ' fair woman to look upon : 

12 Therefore it shall come to pass, when the 
Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, 
This is his wife ; and they will " kill me, but 
they will save thee alive. 

13 Say, I pray thee, thou art "" my sister ; 
that it may be well with me for thy sake : and 
my soul shall live because of thee. 

14 H And it came to pass, that, when Abram 
was come into Egypt, the Egyptians ^beheld 
the woman that she was very fair. 

13 The " princes also of Pharaoh saw her, 
and commended her before Pharaoh ; and the 
woman was taken into Pharaoh's ^ house. 

16 And he entreated Abram well for her sake : 
and he had sheep, and oxen, and he-asses, and 
men-servants, and maid-servants, and she-asses, 
and camels. 

17 And the Lord '" plagued Pharaoh and 
his house with great plagues, because of Sarai, 
Abram's wife. • 

18 And Pharaoh called Abram, and said. 
What is this that thou hast done unto me ? why 
didst thou not tell me that she ivas thy wife ? 

19 Why saidst thou, She is my sister ? so I 
mijiht have taken her to me to wife : now there- 
fore, behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way. 

20 And Pharaoh commanded his men con- 
cerning him : and they " sent him away, and his 
wife, and all that he had.

7 And there was a ^ strife between the herd- 
men of Abram's cattle and the herdmen of Lot's 
cattle : and the Canaanite and the Perizzite 
' dwelled then in the land. 

8 And Abram said unto Lot, '' Let there be 
no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and 
between my herdmen and thy herdmen : for we 
be brethren. 

9 Is not the whole land before thee ? Sepa- 
rate thyself, I pray thee, from me : ' If thou wilt Heb.°[2,^i4, 
take the left hand, then I will goto the right ; Ps. 120,7. 
or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will 
go to the left. 

10 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all 
the plain of Jordan, that it was "" well watered "" ^^.66,12. 
every where, before the Lord destroyed Sodom 
and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the Lord, 
like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar. 

1 1 Then Lot ° chose him all the plain of Jor- 
dan ; and Lot journeyed east : and they sepa- 
rated themselves the one from the other. 

12 Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, 
and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and 
pitched his tent toward Sodom. 

13 But the men of Sodom were wicked, ° and 
sinners before the Lord exceedingly. 

14 H And the Lord said unto Abram, after 
that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now 
thine eyes, and look from the place where thou 
art, northward, and southward, and eastward, 
and westward : 

15 For all the land which thou seest, to ^ thee 
will I give it, and to '' thy seed "■ for ever. 

16 And I will make thy seed as the dust of nfaa^'es^is 
the earth : so that if a man can number the ' dust f^'; f^\ 
of the earth, then shall thy seed also be number- 
ed. 

17 Arise, walk through the land, in the 
* lensth of it, and in the breadth of it : for I 
will give It unto thee. 

1 8 Then Abram removed his tent, and came 
and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which is in 
Hebron, and built there " an altar unto the Lord. uch. 12,7.

9 H And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt 
keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed 
after thee, in their generations. 

1 This is ° my covenant, which ye shall keep, 
between me and you, and thy seed after thee ; J foreskin 
Every ° man-child among you shall be " circum- \ 26 In 
cised. 

1 1 And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your 
foreskin ; and it shall be a token of the covenant 
betwixt me and you. 

12 And he that is f eight days old shall be 1; 
circumcised among you, every man-child in your 
generations ; he that is born in the house, or 
bought with money of any stranger, which is not 
of thy seed. 

13 He that is born in thy hou.sc, and he that 
is bought ^\'ith thy money, must needs be circum- 
cised : and my covenant shall be in '' your flesh 
for an everlasting covenant. 

14 And the uncircumcised man-child, whose 
flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul 
shall be ' cut off" from his people ; he hath ' bro- 
ken my covenant. 

15 H And God said unto Abraham, As for 
Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name 
Sarai, but Sarah shall her name he. 

16 And I will ' bless her, and give thee a son 
also of her ; yea, I will bless her, and she shall 
be a mother of " nations ; kings of people shall 
be of her. 

17 Then Abraham fell upon his face, and 
* laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be 
born unto him that is an hundred years old ? and 
shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear ? 

18 And Aljraham said unto God, Oh that Ish- 
mael mi'j^hi live '' before thee ! 

19 And God said, " Sarah thy wife shall bear 
thee a son indeed ; and thou shalt call his name 
" Isaac : and I will establish my covenant with 



and all that Avere born in his house, and all that 
were bought with his money, every male among 
the men of Abraham's house, and ^ circumcised niom.4,11. 
the flesh of their foreskin in the ^ self-same day, |„^^- 1^^' 
as God had said unto him. 

24 And Abraham ivas ^ ninety years old and 
nine, when he was circumcised in the flesh of 
his foreskin.

old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his

not; for she was afraid. And he said. Nay; 
but thou didst laugh. 

16 H And the men rose up from thence, and 
looked toward Sodom : and Abraham went with 
them "" to bring them on the way.

him. 

20 And the Lord said. Because the ^ cry of 
Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because 
their sin is very grievous ; 

21 I ^ will go down now, and see whether 
they have done altogether according to the cry 
of it, which is come unto me ; and if not, I will 
' know.

thou also destroy " the righteous with the 
wicked ? 

24 Peradventure there be fifty righteous 
within the city : wilt thou also destroy and not 
spare the place for the fifty righteous that are 
therein ? 

25 That be far from thee to do after this 
manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked ; 
and that the righteous should be as the wicked, 
that be far from thee. ° Shall not the Judge of 
all the earth do right ? 

26 And the Lord said, If I find in Sodom 
fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare 
all " the place for their sakes.

now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the 
Lord, which am ^ but dust and ashes :

said, Peradventure there shall be forty found Eph. 6, I8. 
there. And he said, I will not do it for forty's

shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will 

not do it if I find thirty there.

there shall be twenty found there. 
I will not destroy it for twenty's sake 

32 And he said, O let not the Lord be angry, 
and I will speak yet but this once : Peradven-

CHAPTER XX. 

1 Abraham sojourneth at Gerar, 2 denieth his wife, and 
loseth her. 3 Abimelech is reproved for her in a 
dream. 9 Pie rebuketh Abraham, 14 restoreth Sarah, 
16 and reproveth her. 17 He is healed by Abraham's 
prayer. 

AND Abraham journeyed ^ from thence to- 
wards the south country, and dwelled be- 
tween ^ Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar. 

2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, " She 
is my sister : and Abimelech king of Gerar sent 
and took Sarah. 

3 But "^ God came to Abimelech in a dream by 
night, and said to him. Behold, thou art but " a 
dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken ; 
for she is a man's wife. 

4 But Abimelech had ^ not come near her : and 
he said, Lord, wilt thou slay also ^ a righteous 
nation ? 

5 Said he not unto me, She is my sister ? and 
she, even she herself, said, He is my brother : 
'' In the integrity of my heart, and innocency of 
my hands, have I done this. 

6 And God said unto him in a dream, ' Yea, 
I know that thou didst this in the integrity of 
thy heart ; for I also ^ withheld thee from sin- 
ning ' against me : therefore f suffered I thee 
not to touch her. 

7 Now, therefore, restore the man his wife ; 
for he is "" a prophet, and he ° shall pray for thee, 
and thou shalt live : and if thou ° restore her not, 
know thou that thou shalt surely die, ^ thou, and 
all that are thine. 

8 Therefore Abimelech ' rose early in the 
morning, and called all his servants, and told all 
these things in their ears : and the men were 
sore afraid. 

9 Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said 
imto him, What hast thou done unto us ? and 
what have I oifended thee, that thou hast 
■" brought on me and on my kingdom a ' great 
sin ? thou hast done deeds unto me that 
not to be done. 

10 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What 
sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing ? 

11 And Abraham said, Because I thought. 
Surely the * fear of God is not in this place ; 
and they will slay me for my wife's sake. 

12 And yet indeed she is " my sister ; she is 
the daughter of my father, but not the daughter 
of my mother ; and she became my wife. 

13 And it came to pass, when God caused me 
to ^ wander from my father's house, that I said 
unto her. This is thy kindness which thou shalt 
shew unto me ; at every place whither we shall 
come, say of me, He is my brother.

14 And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and 
men-servants, and women-servants, and gave 
them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his 
wife. 

15 And Abimelech said. Behold, my land is 
before thee : dwell where it pleaseth thee. 

16 And unto Sarah he said. Behold, I have 
given ^ thy brother a thousand pieces of silver ; 
behold, he is to thee a covering of the eyes un- 
to all that are with thee, and with all other : 
"" thus she was reproved. 

17 So Abraham prayed unto God : and God 
^ healed Abimelech, and his wdfe, and his maid- 
servants ; and they bare children. 

1 8 For the Lord had '' fast closed up all the 
wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of 
Sarah, Abraham's wife. 

CHAPTER XXL 

1 Isaac is born : 4 He is circumcised. 6 Sarah's joy. 
9 Hagar and Ishmael are cast forth. 16 Hagar in dis- 
tress. 17 The angel comforteth her. 22 Abime- 
lech's covenant with Abraham at Beer-sheba. 

AND the Lord " visited Sarah as he had said, 
and the Lord did unto Sarah ^ as he had 
spoken : 

2 For Sarah " conceived, and bare Abraham 
a son in his old age, at the ^ set time of which 
God had spoken to him. 

3 And Abraham called the name of his son 
that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to 
him, " Isaac. 

4 And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac, be- 
ing ^ eight days old, as God had commanded him. 

5 And Abraham was an hundred years old 
when his son Isaac was born unto him. 

6 And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, 
^ so that all that hear will laugh with me. 

7 And she said, ^ Who would have said unto 
Abraham; that Sarah should have given children 
' suck ? for I have borne him a son in his old age. 

8 And the child grew, and was ^ weaned : and 
Abraham made a great feast the same day that 
Isaac was weaned. 

9 1 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the 
Egyptian, which she had borne unto Abraham, 
' mocking : 

10 Wherefore she said unto Abraham, " Cast 
out this bond-woman and her son : for the son 
of this bond-woman shall not be ° heir w^ith my 
son, even with Isaac. 

1 1 And the thing was very grievous in Abra- 
ham's sight, ° because of his son. 

12 And God said unto Abraham, Let it not 
be grievous in thy sight, because of the lad, and 
because of thy bond-woman : in all that Sarah 
hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice ; for 
P in Isaac shall thy seed be called. 

13 And also of the son of the bond- woman 
will I "^ make a nation, because he is thy seed.

14 H And Abraham rose up early in the morn- i 
ing, and took bread and a bottle of water, and \ 
gave it unto Hagar, (putting it on her shoulder,) 
and the child, and sent her away : and she de- 
r Gal. 4,23. parted, and ' wandered in the wilderness of 
Beer-sheba. 
15) 1 5 And the water was ' spent in the bottle, and 
she cast the child under one of the shrubs. 

16 And she went and sat her down over 
against him, a good way off, as it were a bow- 

-'' shot: for she said, Let me not see the * death 
of the child. And she sat over against him, and 
lifted up her voice, and wept. 

1 7 And God heard the voice of the lad : and 
the angei of God called to Hagar out of heaven, 
and said unto her. What aileth thee, Hagar ? 
fear not ; for God hath heard the voice of the 
lad where he is. 

18 Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine 
hand ; for I will make him a great nation. 

19 And God opened her eyes, and she saw a

22 II And it came to pass at that time, that 
^ Abimelech, and Phichol th(! chief captain of

with thee in all that thou doest : 

23 Now, therefore, ' swear unto me here by , 
God, '' that thou wik not deal falsely with me, !' 
nor with my son, nor witli my son's son : but 
according to the kindness that ' I have done un- 
to thee, thou shalt do unto me, and to the land 
wherein thou hast sojourned. 

24 And Alnaham said, ^ I will swear. 

25 And Abraham reproved Abimelech be- 
cause of " a ^^■ell of water, which Abimelech's 
servants had violently taken away. 

26 And Abimelech said, 'I wot not who hath 
done this thing ; neither didst thou tell me, nei- 
ther yet heard I of it but to-day. 

27 And Abraham ^ took sheep and oxen, and 
gave them unto Abimelech ; and both of them 
made a covenant. 

28 And Abraham set seven ewe-lambs of the 
flock by themselves. 

29 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What 
mean these seven ewe-lambs, which thou hast

32 Thus they made a covenant at Beer-sheba 
Then Abimelech rose up, and Phichol the chief

33 And Abraham planted a grove in Beer-

CHAPTER XXII. 

1 Abraham is tempted to offer Isaac : 3 He giveth proof

13 Isaac is exchanged with a ram. 14 The place is

14 And Abraham called the name of that place

15 And the angel of the Lord called unto 
Abraham out of heaven the second time, 

16 And said, "By myself have I sworn, saith 
the Lord ; ^ for because thou hast done this 
thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only 
S071 ; 

17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in 
multiplying I will multiply " thy seed as the stars

the sea-shore ; and thy seed shall ^ possess the 
gate of his enemies : 

18 And in ^ thy seed shall all the nations of 
the earth be blessed ; because thou hast obeyed 
my voice. 

19 So Abraham returned unto his young men ; 
and they rose up, and went together to Beer- 
sheba : and Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba. 

20 H And it came to pass after these things, 
that it was told Abraham, saying. Behold, Mil- 
cah, she hath also borne children unto thy bro- 
ther Nahor ; 

21 *■ Huz his first-born, and ' Buz his brother, 
and Kemuel the father of Aram, 

22 And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and 
Jidlaph, and Bethuel. 

23 And Bethuel begat Rebekah : these eight 
Milcah did bear to Nahor, Abraham's brother. 

24 And his concubine, whose name ivas Reu- 
mah, she bare also Tebah, and Gaham, and 
Thahash, and "" Maachah. 

CHAPTER XXIII. 

1 The as^e and death of Sarah. 3 The purchase of 
Machpelah, 19 where Sarah was buried. 

ND Sarah was '' an hundred and seven and 
twenty years old : these were the years of 
the ^ life of Sarah. 

2 And Sarah died " in Kirjath-arba ; the same 
is Hebron in the land of Canaan : and Abraham 
came ^ to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for 
her. 

3 And Abraham stood up ^ from before his 
dead, and spake unto the sons of ^ Heth, saying, 

4 I am ^a stranger and a sojourner with you : 
give me a possession of a ""burying-place with 
you, that I may bury my dead ' out of my sight. 



5 And the children of Heth answered Abra- 
ham, saying unto him, 

6 Hear us, my lord : Thou art f a mighty 
prince ^ amongst us : in the choice of our sepul- 
chres bury thy dead : none of us shall withhold 
from thee his sepulchre, but that thou mayest 
bury thy dead. 

7 And Abraham stood up, and ' bowed him- 
self to the people of the land, even to the children 
of Heth. 

8 And he communed with them, saying. If 
it be f your mind that I should bury my dead 
out of my sight, hear me, and entreat for me to 
Ephron the son of "" Zohar, 

9 That he may give me the cave of Machpe- 
lah which he hath, which is in the end of his 
field : for as much money as it is worth he shall 
give it me, for ° a possession of a burying-place 
amongst you. 

10 And Ephron dwelt amongst the children 
of Heth. And Ephron the Hittite answered 
Abraham in the audience of the children of 
Heth, even of all that went in at the gates of 
" his city, saying, 

1 1 Nay, my lord, hear me : The field give I 
thee, and the cave that is therein, I give it thee ; 

iin the presence of the sons of ^ my people give 
I it thee : bury thy dead. 
^ 12 And Abraham bowed down himself before 
t the people of the land. 

\ 13 And he spake unto Ephron, in the audience 
of the people of the land, saying, But if thou ivilt 
give it, I pray thee hear me : ■• I will give thee 
money for the field ; take it of me, and I will 
bury my dead there. 

14 And Ephron answered Abraham, saying 
unto him, 

15 My lord, hearken unto me: The land is 
ivorth four hundred shekels of silver ; what is 
that betwixt me and thee ? bury therefore thy 
dead. 

16 And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron ; 
and Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver, 
which he had named in the audience of the sons 
of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current 
money with the merchant. 

17 And the field of Ephron, which ivas in 
■■ Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the 
field, and the cave which loas therein, and all 
the trees that ivere in the field, that were in all 
the borders round about, were ' made f sure 

1 8 Unto Abraham for a possession, ' in the 
I presence of the children of Heth, before all that 
j went in at the " gates of his city. 

j 19 And after this Abraham buried Sarah his 
wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah, be- 
fore Mamre : the same is Hebron in the land 
of Canaan.

20 And the field, and the cave that is therein, 
were made sure unto Abraham, for a possession 
of * a burymg-place, by the sons of Heth. 

CHAPTER XXIV. 

1 Abraham sweareth his servant : 10 The servant's 
journey: 12 His prayer: 14 His sign. 15 Rebekah 
meeteth him, 18 fullilJeth his sign, 22 receiveth jew- 
els, 23 sheweth her kindred, 23 and inviteth him 
home. 26 The servant blesseth God : 29 Laban en- 
tertaineth him. 34 The servant sheweth his mes- 
sage : 30 Laban and Bethuel approve it. 38 Rebekah 
consenteth to go : 62 Isaac meeteth her. 

AND Abraliam was old, and f well stricken 
in ajze : and the Lord * had blessed Abra- 
ham in all things. 

2 And Abraham said unto his ''eldest servant 
of his house, that ruled over all that he had, 
Put, I pray thee, thy hand " under my thigh ; 

3 And I will make thee ^ swear " by the 
Lord, the God of heaven, and the God of the 
earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my 
son of the ^ daughters of the Canaanites, amongst 
whom I dwell : 

4 But thou shalt go unto ^ my country, and 
to my I'indred, and take a wife unto my son 
Ish;ic. 

5 And the servant said unto him, ^ Perad- 
venture the woman will not be willing to follow 
me unto this land : must I needs bring thy son 
again unto the land from whence thou earnest .'' 

6 And Abraham said unto him. Beware thou, 
that thou bring not my son ' ihitlier again. 

7 The Lord God of heaven, which '' took 
me from my father's house, and from the land 
of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and 
that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will 
I give this land, he shall send ' iiis angel before 
thee ; and thou shalt take a wife unto my son 
from thence. 

8 And if the woman will not be willin": to 
follow thee, then thou shalt be '" clear from this 
my oath : only bring not my son thither again. 

9 And the servant put his hand under the 
thigh of Abraham his master, and sware to him 
concerning that matter. 

10 And the servant took ten camels, of the 
camels of his master, and departed ; (for all the 
goods of his master ivere m his hand ;) and he 
arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of 
Nahor. 

1 1 And he made his camels ° to kneel down 
without the city by a well of water, at the time 
of the evening, even the time that women go out 
to draw water. 

12 And he said, O Lord " God of my master 
Abraham, I pray thee, ^ send me good speed 
this day, and shew kindness unto my master 
Abraham. 

13 Behold, I '' stand here by the well of wa- 



ter ; and the daughters of the men of the city 
come out to draw water : 

14 And " let it come to pass, that the damsel 
to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I 
pray thee, that I may drink ; and she shall say, 
Drink ; and I will oive thy camels drink also : 
let the same he she that thou hast appointed for 
thy servant Isaac ; and thereby shall I know that 
thou hast shewn kindness unto my master. 

15 And it came to pass, ' belbre he had done 
speaking, that, behold, Rebekah come out, who 
was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife 
of Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her * pitcher 
upon her shoulder. 

16 And the damsel f was very fair to look 
upon, a \irgin ; neither had any man " known 
her : and siie went, down to the well, and filled 
her pitcher, and came up. 

17 And the servant ran to meet her, and said, 
Let me, I pray thee, drink a little water of thy 
pitcher. 

18 And she said. Drink, my lord : and she 
hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, 
and gave him drink. 

19 And, \\hen she had done giving him drink, 
she said, I will draw water for thy camels also, 
until they have done drinking. 

20 And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher 
into the trough, and ran again unto the well to 
draw water, and drew for all his camels. 

21 And the man, " wondering at her, ^ held 
his peace, to wit whether the Lord had made 
his journey prosperous or not. 

22 And it came to pass, as the camels had 
done drinking, that the man took a golden || ear- 
ring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets 
for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold, 

23 And said. Whose daughter art thou ? tell 
me, I pray thee. Is there room 171 thy father's 
house for us to lodge in ? 

24 And she said unto him, I am the daughter 
of Bethuel " the son of Milcah, which she bare 
unto Nahor. 

25 She said moreover unto him. We have 
both straw and provender enough, and room to 
lodge in. 

26 And the man ^ bowed down his head, 
and worshipped the Lord. 

27 And he said. Blessed be the Lord God 
of my master Abraham, who hath '' not left 
destitute my master of his mercy and his truth : 
I being in the way, the Lord led me to the 
house of my master's " brethren. 

28 And the damsel ran, and told them of her 
■* mother''s house these things. 

29 And Rebekah had a brother, and his name 
ivas Laban : and Laban ran out unto the man 
unto the well.

30 And it came to pass, when he saw 
ear-ring, and bracelets upon his sister's hands, 
and when he heard the words of Rebekah his 
sister, saying, Thus spake the man unto me, 
that he came unto the man ; and, behold, he 
stood by the camels at the well. 

31 And he said. Come in, thou ' blessed of 
the Lord ; wherefore standest thou without ? 
for I have prepared the house, and room for the 
camels. 

32 And the man came into the house : and 
he ungirded his camels, and gave straw and pro- 
vender for the camels, and water to ^ wash his 
feet, and the men's feet that ivere with him. 

33 And there was set meat before him to eat : 
but he said, ^ I will not eat until I have told 
mine errand. And he said. Speak on. 

34 And he said, I am ^ Abraham's servant. 
33 And ' the Lord hath blessed my master 

greatly, and he is become great : and he hath 
given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, 
and men-servants, and maid-servants, and ca- 
mels, and asses. 

SQ And Sarah, my master's wife, bare a son 
to my master when she '' was old : and unto 
him hath he given all that he hath. 

37 And my master made me swear, saying, 
Thou shalt not take a wife to my son ' of the 
daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I 
dwell : 

38 But thou shalt go unto " my father's house, 
and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son. 

39 And I said unto my master, " Peradventure 
the woman will not follow me. 

40 And he said unto me. The Lord, ° before 
whom I walk, will send his angel with thee, 
and P prosper thy way ; and thou shalt take a 
wife for my son of my kindred, and of my fa- 
ther's house. 

41 Then shalt thou be clear from this "• my 
oath, when thou comest to my kindred ; and if 
they give not thee one, thou shalt be clear from 
my oath. 

42 And I came this day unto the well, and 
said, O Lord God of my master Abraham, if 
now thou do ' prosper my way which I go ; 

43 Behold, ' I stand by the well of water ; 
and it shall come to pass, that when the virgin 
cometh forth to draw water, and I say to her. 
Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy \ men. 



unto the well, and drew lijater : and I said unto 
her. Let me drink, I pray thee, 

46 And she made haste, and let down her 
pitcher from her shoulder, and said, Drink ; and 
I will give thy camels drink also. So I drank, 
and she made the eamels drink also. 

47 And I asked her, and said. Whose daugh- 
ter art thou ? And she said. The daughter of Be- 
thuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bare unto 
him : and I put the ear-ring ^ upon her face, and 
the bracelets upon her hands. 

48 And i bowed down my head, and wor- 
shipped the Lord, and blessed the Lord God 
of my master Abraham, which had led me in 
the ^ right way, to take my master's brother's 
daughter unto his son. 

49 And now, if you will deal f kindly and truly 
with my master, tell me : and if not, tell me ; 
that I may turn to the right hand or to the left. 

50 Then Laban and Bethuel answered and 
said. The thing proceedeth from the Lord ; we 
cannot speak unto thee ^ bad or good. 

51 Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take her, 
and go, and let her be thy master's son's wife, 
as the Lord hath spoken. 

52 And it came to pass, that when Abraham's 
servant heard their words, he " worshipped the 
Lord, hoioing himself to the earth. 

53 And the servant brought forth jewels of 
silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment, and gave 
them to Rebekah : he gave also to her brother 
and to her mother "" precious things. 

54 And they did eat and drink, he and the 
men that ivere with him, and tarried all night : 
and they rose up in the morning ; and he said, 
" Send me away unto my master. 

55 And her brother and her mother said. Let 
the damsel abide with us a few days, at the least 
ten ; after that she shall go. 

bQ And he said unto them, Hinder me not, 
seeing the Lord hath prospered my way ; send 
me away, that I may go to my master. 

57 And they said. We will call the damsel, 
and inquire ^ at her mouth. 

58 And they called Rebekah, and said unto 
her, Wilt thou go with this man ? And she said, 
I will go. 

59 And they sent away Rebekah their sister, 
and her ^ nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his

63 And Isaac went out to || ° meditate in the 
field at the even-tide ; and he lifted up his eyes, 
and saw, and, behold, the camels were commg. 

64 And Rebekah lifted up her eyes ; and 
when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel. 

Qo For she hud said unto the servant, What 
man is this that walketh in the field to meet us ? 
And the sen^ant had said, It is my master : there- 
fore she took " a veil and covered herself. 

&Q And the servant told Isaac all things that 
he had done. 

67 And Isaac brought her into his mother 
° Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah, and she be- 
came his wife, and he •■ loved her : and Isaac

prayeth for Rebekah, being barren 22 The children 
strive in her womb. 24 The birth of Esau and Jacob. 
27 Their difference. 29 Esau selleth his birth-right. 

THEN * again Abraham took a *" wife, and 
her name was Keturah. 

2 And she " bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, 
and '' Mcdan, and ' IMidian, and Ishbak, and 
' Shuah. 

3 And Jokshan begat Sheba and Dedan. 
And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and 
Letushim, and Leummim. 

4 And the sons of Midian ; ^ Ephali, and 
Epher, and Hanoch, and Abidah, and Eldaah. 
All these were the children of Keturah. 

5 And Abraham gave ^ all that he had unto 
Isaac. 

6 But unto the sons of the ' concubines, which 
Abraham had, Abraham gave ^ gifts, and sent 
them auay from Isaac his son (while he yet liv- 
ed) ' ca.st\\"aid, unto the east country. 

7 And these are the days of the 
Abraham's life, which he lived, " an 
threescore and fifteen years. 

8 Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died 
° in a good old age, an old man, and full of 
years ; and was " gathered to his people. 

9 And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him 
in the cave of Machpelah, in the ■" fi(?ld of 
Ephron, the son of Zoliar the Hittite, which is 
before Mamre ; 

10 The field which Al)raham purchased of 
■ the sons of Heth : there was Abraham "^ buried, 

and Sarah his ^^ ife. 

1 1 And it came to pass, after the death of 
Abraham, that God ' blessed his son Isaac : and 
Isaac dwelt by the well Lahai-roi. 

12 H Now these are the generations of Ish- 
mael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyp- 



years of 
hundred 



tian, Sarah's handmaid, bare unto Abraham. 

13 And these are the names of the sons of 
Ishmael, by their names, according to their ge- 
nerations : The first-born of Ishmael, ' Neba- 
joth ; and * Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam, 

14 And Mishma, " and Dumah, and Massa, 

15 Hadar, and ^ Tema, Jetur, Naphisli, and 
Kedemah. 

16 These are the sons of Ishmael, and these 
are their names, by their towns, and by their cas- 
tles ; ^ twelve princes according to tlieir nations. 

17 And these are the years of the life of Ish- 
mael, an hundred and thirty and seven years : 
and he gave up the ghost, and died, and was ga- 
thered unto his people. 

18 And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur, 
that is before Egypt, as thou goest towards As- 
syria : and he f died in the presence of all his 
brethren. 

ion And these are the generations of Isaac, 
Abraham's son : Abraham begat Isaac. 

20 And Isaac ^^■as forty years old when he 
took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel 
the Syrian of Padan-aram, the sister to Laban 
the ^ Syrian. 

21 And Isaac " entreated the Lord for his 
wife, because she was ^ barren : and the Lord 
was entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife 
conceived. 

22 And the children |1 struggled together 
within her : and she said, If it be so, why am I 
thus ? and she went to inquire of the Lord. 

23 And the Lord said unto her, Two nations 
are in thy ^^'omb, and two manner of people shall 
be separated from thy bowels : and the one peo- 
ple shall be stronger than the other people ; and 
the elder " shall serve the younger. 

24 And when her days to be delivered were 
fulfilled, behold, there locre twins in her womb. 

25 And the first came out ^ red, all over like an 
hairy garment ; and they called his name Esau. 

26 And after that came his brother out, and 
his hand ' took hold on Esau's heel ; and his 
name was called Jacob : and Isaac ivas three- 
score years old when she bare them. 

27 And the boys grew: and Esau was^a 
cunning hunter, a man of the field ; and Jacob 
was a ^^ plain man, ^ dwelling in tents. 

28 And Isaac loved Esau, because f he did 
eat of his venison ; but Rebekah loved Jacob. 

29 H And Jacob sod pottage : and Esau came 
from the field, and he was ' faint. 

30 And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray 
thee, t with that same red pottage ; for I am faint : 
therefore was his name called Edom. 

31 And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy 
■'birth- right.

14 For he had " possession of flocks, and pos-

And the Phihstines " envied him.

Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king 
of the Philistines, unto Gerar. 

2 And the Lord " appeared unto him, and 
said, Go not down into Egypt; "^ dwell in the 
land which I shall tell thee of. 

3 ". Sojourn in this land, and I will be with 
thee, r ; d will bless thee : for unto thee, and unto 
thy seed, I will give ^ all these countries ; and 
I will ° perform the oath which I sware unto 
Abraham thy father : 

4 And I will make thy seed to multiply as the 
'' stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all 
these countries ; and in ' thy seed shall all the 
nations of the earth be blessed ; 

5 Because that Abraham ^ obeyed my voice, 
and kept my charge, my commandments, my 
statutes, and my laws. 

6 H And Isaac dwelt in ' Gerar : 

7 And the men of the place asked him of his 
wife : and he said. She is "" my sister : for he 
feared " to say. She is my wife ; lest, said he, the 
men of the place should kill me for Rebekah, 
because she luas fair to look upon. 

8 And it came to pass, when he had been there 
a long time, that Abimelech, king of the Philis- 
tines, ° looked out at a window, and saw, and, be- 
hold, Isaac ivas ^ sporting with Rebekah his wife. 

9 And Abimelech called Isaac, and said. Be- 
hold, of a surety she is thy wife : and '^ how 
saidst thou, She is my sister ? And Isaac said 
unto him. Because I said. Lest I die for her. 

10 And Abimelech said. What is this thou 
hast done unto us ? one of the people might 
lightly have lien with thy wife, and thou shouldest 
have brought guiltiness upon us. 

11 And Abimelech charged all his people, 
saying, He that ' toucheth this man, or his wife, 
shall surely be put to death. 

12 Tl Then Isaac sowed in that land, and 
t received in the same year ' an hundred fold ; 
and the JiORn ' blessed him.

made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob was 
yet scarce gone out from the presence of Isaac 
his father, that Esau his brother came in from 
his hunting. 

31 And he also had made savoury meat, and 
brought it unto his father, and said unto his 
father, Let my father arise, and eat of his son's 
venison, that thy soul ma}' bless me. 

32 And Isaac his father said unto him. Who 
art thou ? And he said, I am thy son, thy first- 
born, Esau. 

33 And Isaac f trembled very exceedingly, 
and said. Who ? where is he that hath taken 
venison, and brought it me, and I have eaten of 
all before thou earnest, and have blessed him ? 
yea, and '' he shall be blessed. 

34 And when Esau heard the words of his 
father, he cried with a great and exceeding 
"" bitter cry, and said unto his father. Bless me, 
even me also, O my father ! 

^b And he said. Thy brother came with '' sub- 
tilty, and hath taken away thy blessing. 

^'o And he said, Is not he rightly " named Ja- 
cob .^ for he hath supplanted me these two times : 
he took away my birth-right ; and, behold, now 
he hath taken away my blessing. And he said. 
Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me ? 

37 And Isaac answered and said unto Esau, 
Behold, I have made him thy lord, and all his 
brethren have I given to him for servants ; and 
with corn and wine have I sustained him : and 
what shall I do now unto thee, my son ? 

38 And Esau said unto his father. Hast thou 
but one blessing, my father ? bless me, enen me 
also, O my father ! And Esau lifted up his voice, 
and "' wept. 

39 And Isaac his father answered and said 
unto him. Behold, thy dwelling shall be the 
* fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven 
from above ; 

40 And by thy ^ sword shalt thou live, and 
shalt = serve thy brother : and it shall come to 
pass, when thou shalt have the dominion, that 
thou shalt *" break his yoke from off thy neck. 

41 \ And Esau ' hated Jacob, because of the 
blessing wherewith his father blessed him : and 
Esau '' said in his heart. The days of mourning 
for my father are at hand, ' then will I slay my 
brother Jacob. 

42 And these words of Esau her elder son 
were told to Rebekah. And she sent and caTled 
Jacob her younger son and said unto him. Be- 
hold, thy brother Esau, as touching thee, " doth 
comfort himself, purposing to kill thee. 

43 Now, therefore, my son, obey my voice ; 
and arise, flee thou to Laban my brother, to Haran, 

44 And tarry with him a few " days, until thy 
brother's fury turn away ; 




o ch. 9, 6. 
Acts 28, 4. 



45 Until thy brother's anger turn away from 
thee, and he forget that which thou hast done to 
him : then I will send and fetch thee from 
thence. Why should I be deprived also of you 
° both in one day ? 

46 And Rebekah said to Isaac, ^ I am weary chA^C\6 
of my life because of the daughters of Heth : 35^ *' ' 
if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, Eph.6,4. 
such as these which are of the daughters of the 

land, what good shall my life do me ?

12 The vision of Jacob's ladder. 18 The stone of 
Beth-el. 20 Jacob's vow. 

ND Isaac called Jacob, and * blessed him, 
and charged him, and said unto him, Thou 
shalt not take a wife of the *" daughters of Canaan. 

2 Arise, go to " Padan-aram, to the house of 
Bethuel thy mother's father, and take thee ^ a 
wife from thence of the daughters of Laban, 
thy mother's brother. 

3 And ' God Almighty bless thee, and make 
thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest 
be t a multitude of people ; 

4 And give thee the ^ blessing of Abraham, 
to thee, and to thy seed with thee*; that thou 
mayest inherit the land = wherein thou art a 
stranger, which God ^ gave unto Abraham. 

6 And Isaac sent away Jacob : and he went 
to Padan-aram, unto Laban, son of Bethuel the 
Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob's and 
Esau's mother. 

6 When Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Ja- 
cob, and sent him away to Padan-aram, to take 
him a wife from thence ; and that, as he blessed 
him, he gave him a charge, saying. Thou shalt 
not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan ; 

7 And that Jacob obeyed his father and his 
mother, and was gone to Padan-aram ; 

8 And Esau seeing that the daughters of Ca- 
naan ' pleased not Isaac his father ; 

9 Then went Esau unto '' Ishmael, and took 
unto the wives which he had, ' Mahalath the 
daughter of Ishmael, Abraham's son, " the sis- 
ter of Nebajoth, to be his wife. 

10 H And Jacob went out from Beer-sheba, 
and went toward Haran. 

1 1 And he lighted upon a certain place, and 
tarried there all night, because the sun was set : 
and he took of the " stones of that place, and 
put them for his ° pillows, and lay down in that 
place to sleep. 

12 And he ^ dreamed, and, behold, '^ a ladder 
set up on the "■ earth, and the ' top of it reached 
to heaven : and, behold, the angels of God ' as- 
cending and descending on it.

Surely the Lord hath looked upon my afflic-

maid unto Jacob : 6 She beareth Dan and Naphtali. 9 
Leah giveth Zilpah her maid, who beareth Gad and 
Asher. 14 Reuben findeth mandrakes, with which 
Leah buyeth her husband of Rachel. 17 Leah bear- 
eth Issachar, Zebulun, and Dinah. 22 Rachel beareth 
Joseph. 26 Jacob desireth to depart. 27 Laban stay- 
eth him on a new covenant. 37 Jacob's policy, where- 
by he becometh rich. 

ND when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob 
no children, Rachel '' envied her sister ; 
and said unto Jacob, Give me children, or ^ else 
Idic. 

2 And Jacob's ''anger was kindled against 
Rachel ; and he said. Am I '' in God's stead, who 
hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb ? 

3 And she said. Behold ' my maid Bilhah, go 
in unto her ; and she shall bear upon my knees, 
that I may also f have children by her.

4 And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to 
wife : and Jacob went in unto her. 

5 And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son. 

6 And Rachel said, God hath judged me, and 
hath also heard my voice, and hath given me a 
son : therefore called she his name || Dan. 

7 And Bilhah, Rachel's maid, conceived 
again, and bare Jacob a second son. 

8 And Rachel said. With f great wrestlings 
have I wrestled with my sister, and I have pre- 
vailed : and she called his name || Naphtali. 

9 When Leah saw that she had ^ left bearing, 
she took Zilpah her maid, and gave her Jacob 
^ to wife. 

10 And Zilpah, Leah's maid, bare Jacob a son. 

1 1 And Leah said, A troop cometh : and she 
called his name || Gad. 

12 And Zilpah, Leah's maid, bare Jacob a 
second son. 

13 And Leah said, Happy am I, for the 
daughters will ^ call me blessed : and she called 
his name || Asher. 

14 jI And Reuben went, in the days of wheat- 
harvest, and found ' mandrakes in the field, and 
brought them unto his mother Leah. Then 
Rachel said to Leah, Give me, I pray thee, of 
thy son's f mandrakes. 

15 And she said unto her. Is it a small matter 
that thou hast taken my husband ? and wouldest 
thou take away my son's mandrakes also ? And 
Rachel said. Therefore he shall lie with thee to- 
night for thy son's mandrakes. 

16 And Jacob came out of the field in the 
evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and 
said. Thou must come in unto me ; for surely 
I have hired thee with my son's mandrakes. 
And he lay with her that night. 

17 And God ^ hearkened unto Leah, and she 
conceived, and bare Jacob the fifth son. 

18 And Leah said, God hath given me my 
hire, because I have given my maiden to my 
husband : and she called his name || Issachar. 

19 And Leah conceived again, and bare Ja- 
cob the sixth son. 

20 And Leah said, God hath endowed me 
loith a good dowry : now will my husband dwell 
with me, because I have borne him six sons : 
and she called his name || Zebulun. 

21 And afterwards she bare a daughter, and 
called her name || Dinah. 

22 H And God ' remembered Rachel, and God 
hearkened to her, and opened her womb. 

23 And she conceived and bare a son ; and 
said, God hath taken away " my reproach : 

24 And she called his name || Joseph ; and 
said. The Lord " shall add to me another son. 

25 H And it came to pass. When Rachel had 
borne Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban,

28 And he said, '' Appoint me thy wages, and

31 And he said. What shall I give thee ? And 
Jacob said. Thou shalt " not give me any thing. 
If thou u lit do this thing for me, I will again 
feed and keep thy flock : 

32 I will pass through all thy flock to-day, 
removing from thence all the speckled and spot-

sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the 
goats ; and of such shall be " my hire.

speckled and spotted amongst the goats, and 
brown amongst tlije sheep, that shall be counted

34 And Laban said. Behold, I would it might

41 And it came to pass, whensoever the

rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, 
that they might conceive among the rods : 

42 But when the cattle were 'feeble he put cHab.2,9.

Jacob's Vision at Mahanaim. 

48 And Laban said, This heap is a witness i 
between me and thee this day. Therefore was ^ 
the name of it called Galeed ; 

49 And II Mizpah : for he said, The Lord 
watch between me and thee, when we are absent 
one from another. 

50 If thou shalt afflict my daughters, or if 
thou shalt take other wives beside my daughters, 
no man is with us : see, God is witness betwixt 
me and thee. 

51 And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this 
heap, and behold this pillar, which I have cast 
betwixt me and thee ; 

52 This heap be witness, and this pillar be 
witness, that I will not pass over this heap to 
thee, and that thou shalt not pass over this heap 
and this pillar unto me, for harm. 

53 The God of Abraham, and the God of 
° Nahor, the God of their father, judge betwixt us. 
And Jacob s^vare " by the fear of his father Isaac. 

54 Then Jacob ^ offered sacrifice upon the 
mount, and called his brethren to "* eat bread : 
and they did eat bread, and tarried all night in 
the monnt. 

55 And early in the morning Laban rose up 
and kissed his sons and his daughters, and 
' blessed them : and Laban departed, and re- 
turned unto his place. 

CHAPTER XXXII. 

1 Jacob's vision at Mahanaim. 3 His message to Esau. 
6 He is afraid of Esau's coming. 9 He praycth for 
his deliverance. 13 He sendeth a present to Esau. 
24 He vvrestleth with an aneel at Peniel, where he is 
called Israel. 31 He halteth. 

AND Jacob went on " his way, and the an- 
gels of God met him. 

2 And when Jacob saw them, he said. This 
is *' God's host : and he called the name of that 
place II Mahanaim. 

3 And Jacob " sent messengers before him to 
Esau his brother, unto the land of ^ Scir, the 
country of Edom. 

4 And he commanded them, saying, Thus 
shall ye speak unto ^ my lord Esau ; Thy ser- 
vant Jacob sahh thus, I have sojourned with 
Laban, and stayed there until now : 

5 And I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and 
men-servants, and women-servants : and I have 
sent to tell my lord, that I may find grace in thy 
sight. 

6 And the messengers returned to Jacob, 
saying, We came to thy brother Esau, and also 
he Cometh to meet thee, and ' four hundred men 
with him. 

7 Then Jacob was ^ greatly afraid and dis- 
tressed : and he divided the people that teas with 
him, and the flocks, and herds, and the camels, 
into two bands ; 



CHAPTER XXXII. 



His message to Esau. 




8 And said. If Esau come to the one com- 
pany and smite it, then the other company 
which is left shall escape. 

9 And Jacob said, " O God of my father iiPs.50,13. 
Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the 

Lord which saidst unto me, 'Return unto thy ich.31,3. 
country, and to thy kuidred, and I will deal well 
with thee : 

10 t I am not worthy of the least of all the t Heb. /aw 
mercies, and of all the ^ truth, which thou hast k ch.24,27 
shewed unto thy servant ; for ' with my staff" I • ^°^ s, 7. 
passed over this Jordan, and now I am become 

two bands. 

1 1 Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of 
my brother, from the hand of Esau : for I fear 
him, lest he will come and smite me, and the 
mother with the children. 

12 And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, 

and make "^ thy seed as the sand of the sea, which mch.28,14. 
cannot be numbered for multitude. 

13 And he lodged there that same night ; and 

took of that which came to his hand ° a present nPr.i8,iG. 
for Esau his brother; 

14 Two hundred she-goats and twenty he- 
goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams, 

15 Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty 
kinc and ten bulls, twenty she-asses and ten foals;. 

16 And he delivered them into the hand of 
his servants, every drove by themselves ; and 
said unto his servants. Pass over before me, and 
put " a space betwixt drove and drove. 

17 And he commanded the foremost, saying. 
When Esau my brother meeteth thee, and ask- 
eth thee, saying. Whose art thou.'' and M'hither 
goest thou ? and whose are these before thee ? 

18 Then thou shalt say, They be thy servant 
Jacob's ; it is a present sent unto my lord Esau : 
and, behold, also he is behind us. 

19 And so commanded he the second, and the 
third, and all that followed the droves, saying. 
On this manner shall you speak unto Esau, 
when you find him. 

20 And say ye moreover, Behold, thy servant 
Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will f ap- 
pease him with the present thyt goeth before yire' 
me, and afterward I will see his lace ; perad- ^''^' ~^' ^*' 
venture he will accept of me. 

21 So ^vent the present over before him ; and 
himself lodged that night in the company. 

22 And he rose up that night, p and took his peh-35,22.

CHAPTER XXXIII. 

1 The kindness of Jacob and Esau at their meeting. 17 
Jacob cometh to Succoth. 1 8 At Shalem he buyeth 
a field, and buildeth an altar called El-elohe-Israel. 

ND Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, 
and, behold, Esau came, and with him > 
four hundred men. And he " divided the chil- ] 
dren unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the 
two handmaids. 

2 And he put the handmaids and their chil- 
dren foremost, and Leah and her children after, 
and Rachel and Joseph hindermost. 

3 And he passed over ^ before them, and 
" bowed himself to the ground ^ seven times, 
until he came near to his brother. 

4 And Esau " ran to meet him, and embraced 
him, and fell on his neck, and ^ kissed him : and 
they ^ wept. 

5 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the wo- 
men and the children, and said. Who are those 
with thee ? And he said. The children ^ which 
God hath graciously given thy servant. 

6 Then the handmaidens came near, they and 
their children, and they bowed themselves. 

7 And Leah Iso with her children came near, 
and bowed thefliselves : and after came Joseph 
near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves. 

8 And he said, ' What meanest thou by all this 
drove which I met ? And he said. These are to 
find grace in the sight of my lord. 

9 And Esau said, I have enough, my brother ; 
t keep that thou hast unto thyself. 






ciously with me, and because f I have enough 
And he urged him, and he took it. 

12 And he said, Let us take our journey, and 
let us go, and I will go before thee. 

13 And he said unto him, My lord knoweth 
that the children are tender, and the flocks and 
herds with young are with me ; and if men should 
over-drive them one day, all the flock will die. 

14 Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before 
his servant ; and I will lead on "' softly, accord- 
ing ° as the cattle that goeth before me and the 
children be able to endure, until I come unto 
my lord unto Seir. 

15 And Esau said, Let me now leave with 
thee some of the folk that are with me. And he 
said. What needeth it.? ° let me And grace in the 
sight of my lord. 

16 So Esau returned that day on his way 
unto Seir. 

17 And Jacob journeyed to ^ Succoth, and 
built him an house, and made booths for his 
cattle : therefore the name of the place is called 
Succoth. 

18 And Jacob came to '' Shalem, a city of 
"■ Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, 
when he came from Padan-aram ; and pitched 
his tent before the city. 

19 And he ' bought a parcel of a field, where 
he had spread his tent, at the hand of the chil- 
dren of * Hamor, Shechem's father, for an hun- 
dred pieces of money. 

20 And he erected there " an altar, and called 
it II El-elohe-Israel. 

CHAPTER XXXIV. 

Dinah is ravished by Shechem. 4 He sueth to marry 
her. 13 The sons of Jacob offer the condition of cir- 
cumcision to the Shechemites : 20 Hamor and Shechem 
persuade them to accept it : 25 The sons of Jacob upon 
that advantage slay them, 27 and spoil their city. 30 
Jacob reproveth Simeon and Levi. 

ND Dinah the daughter of Leah, which 
she bare unto Jacob, ^ went out to see the 
of the land. 

2 And when Shechem the son of Hamor the 
" Hivite, prince of the country, ** saw her, he 
took her, and lay with her, and f defiled her. 

3 And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter 
of Jacob ; and he loved the damsel, and spake 
kindly unto the damsel. 

4 And Shechem " spake unto his father Ha- 
mor, saying. Get me this damsel ^ to wife. 

5 And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah

God was upon the cities tiiat iverc round about 
them, and they did not pursue after the sons of 
Jacob. 

6 11 So Jacob came to ° Luz, which is in the 
land of Canaan, that is, Beth-el, he, and all the 
people that were with him. 

7 And he built '' there an altar, and called the 
place '' El-beth-el ; because there God appeared 
unto him, when he fled from the face of his 
brother. 

8 But Deborah, "■ Rebekab's nurse, died, and 
she was buried beneath Beth-el under an oak : 
and the name of it was called || Allon-bachuth. 

9 H And God ' appeared unto Jacob again, 
when he came out of Padan-aram, and blessed 
him. 

10 And God said unto him. Thy name is 
Jacob : thy name shall not be called any more 
Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he 
called his name ' Israel. 

11 And God said unto him, I am " God Al- 
mighty ; be fruitful and multiply : a nation, and 
a company of nations, shall be of thee ; and 
" kings shall come out of thy loins : 

■^2 And the land Avhich I gave Abraham and 
Isaac, ' to thee I will give it, and to thy seed 
after thee will I give the land. 

13 And God ^ went up from him in the place 
where he talked with him. 

14 And Jacob set up ^a pillar in the place 
where he talked with hirn, even a pillar of stone ; 
and he poured a drink-offering thereon, and he 
poured oil thereon. 

13 And Jacob called the name of the place, 
where God spake with him, Beth-el. 

16 H And they journeyed from Beth-el ; and 
there was but a little way to come to ""Ephrath : 
and Rachel travailed, and she had " hard labour. 

17 And it came to pass, when she was in hard 
labour, that the midwife said unto her. Fear not ; 
thou shall have this son also. 

1 8 And it came to pass, as her soul was in de- 
parting, (for she "^ died,) that she called his name 
II Ben-oni : but his father called him || Benjamin. 

19 And Rachel died, and was buried in the 
way to Ephrath, " which is Bcth-lchem. 

20 And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave : 
that is the pillar of Rachel's grave unto this day. 

21 H And Israel journeyed, and spread his 
tent beyond the toAver of Edar. 

22 And it came to pass, when Israel dwelt in 
that land, that Reuben went and "^lay with Bil- 
liah his father's concubine : and Israel heard it. 
Now the sons of Jacob were ^ twelve : 

23 The sons of Leah ; Reuben, Jacob's first- 
born, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and 
Issachar, and Zebulun : 

24 The sons of Rachel ; Joseph, and Benjamin : 



generations of Esau, 



took his wives of the daughters of 



25 And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's hand- 
maid ; Dan, and Naphtali : 

26 And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid ; 
Gad, and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob, 
which were born to him in ^ Padan-aram. 

27 H And Jacob came unto Isaac his father 
unto ' Mamre, unto the city of ^ Arbah, which is 
Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned. 

28 And the days o/ Isaac were ' an hundred 
and fourscore years. 

29 And Isaac gave up the ghost, and died, 
and was gathered unto "' his people, being old 
and full of days : and his sons Esau " and Jacob 
buried him. 

CHAPTER XXXVI. 

2 Esau's three wives : 6 His removing to mount Seir : 
9 His sons : 15 The dukes which descended of his sons. 
20 The sons and dukes of Seir. 24 Anah findeth 
mules. 31 The kings of Edom. 40 The dukes of Esau. 

OW these are the 
who is *" Edom. 

2 Esau 
^ Canaan ; ^ Adah the daughter of Elon the Hit 
tite, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah, the 
daughter of Zibeon the Hivite ; 

3 And ^ Bashemath, Ishmael's daughter, sis- 
ter of ^ Nebajoth. 

4 And Adah bare to Esau, '' Eliphaz ; and 
Bashemath bare Reuel. 

5 And Aholibamah bare Jeush, and Jaalam, 
and Korah. These arc the sons of Esau, which 
were born unto him in the ' land of Canaan. 

6 And Esau ^ took his wives, and his sons, 
and his daughters, and all the persons of his 
house, and his cattle, and all his beasts, and all 
his substance, which he had got in the land of 
Canaan, and went into the country from the face 
of his brother Jacob : 

7 For their riches were more than that they 
might ' dwell together ; and the land wherein 
they were " strangers could not bear them, be- 
cause of their cattle. 

8 Thus dwelt Esau in mount " Seir. Esau 
is Edom. 

9 H And these are the generations of Esau, 
the father of the f Edomites, in mount Seir. 

10 These are the names of Esau's sons ; Eli- 
phaz the son of Adah the wife of Esau ; Reuel 
the son of Bashemath the Avife of Esau. 

11 And the sons of Eliphaz were Teman, 
Omar, ° Zepho, and Gatam, and Kenaz. 

12 And '' Timna was concubine to Eliphaz, 
Esau's son ; and she bare to Eliphaz, "^ Amalek : 
these were the sons of Adah, Esau's wife. 

13 And these are the sons of "■ Reuel ; Nahath, 
and Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah : these were 
the sons of Bashemath, Esarj's wife.

17 And in the uppermost basket there was of 
all manner of bake-meats for Pharaoh ; and the 
birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head.

the interpretation thereof: The three baskets 
are three days. 

19 Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift 
up thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee 
on a tree : and "^ the birds shall eat thy flesh 
from off thee. 

20 H And it came to pass the third day, which 
icas Pharaoh's ' birth-day, that he made a feast 
unto all his servants : and he lifted up the head 
of the chief butler, and of the chief baker,among 
his servants. 

21 And he restored the chief butler unto his 
butlership again ; and he gave the cup into Pha-

9 Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, 
saying, I do remember ' my faults this day. 

10 Pharaoh was ^n'oth with his servants, and 
put me in Mard in the ' captain of the 
house, both me and the chief baker. 

1 1 And "" we dreamed a dream m one night, 
I ajid he : we dreamed each man accordins: to 
the interpretation ot his dream. 

12 And there icas there with us a young man, 
an Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard ; 
and we told him, and he interpreted to us our 
dreams : to each man according to his dream he 
did interpret. 

13 And it came to pass, as he interpreted to 
us so it was : me " he restored unto mine office, 
and him he hanged. 

14 Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and 
they t brought him hastily out of the dungeon : 
and he ° shaved himself, and changed his ^ rai- 
ment, and came in unto Pharaoh. 

15 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have 
dreamed a dream, and there is none that can in- 
terpret it : and I have heard say of thee, || that 
thou canst understand a dream to interpret it. 

16 And Joseph ansA\'ered Pliaiaoh, saying, 
' It is not in me : God shall give Pharaoh ' an 
answer of peace. 

17 And 'Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my 
dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river : 

J 18 And, behold, there came up out of the 

i river seven kine, fat-fleshed, and well-favoured ; 

' and they fed in a meador\v.

4 And the ill-favoured and lean-fleshed kine

So Pharaoh awoke. 

5 And he slept, and dreamed the second time : 
and, behold, seven ears of com came up upon

Joseph impnsoneth his brethren. 

CHAPTER XLII. 

Jacob sendeth his ten sons to buy corn in Egypt. IG 
They are imprisoned by Joseph for spies. 18 They 
are set at hberty, on condition to bring Benjamin. 2i 
They have remorse for Joseph. 24 Simeon is kept 
for a pledge. 25 They return with corn, and their 
money. 29 Their relation to Jacob. 36 Jacob re- 
fuseth to send Benjamin. 

OW when Jacob ^ saw that there was corn 
in Ejrvpt, Jacob said unto liis sons, ^ 
do ye look one upon another ? 

2 And he said, Behold, I have heard that 
there is corn in Egypt : get you " down thither, 
and buy for us from thence ; that we may ^ live, 
and not die. 

3 And Joseph's ten brethren went do^\'n to 
buy corn in Egypt. 

4 " But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob 
sent not with his brethren : for he said, ' Lest 
peradventure mischief befall him. 

5 And the sons of Israel came to liuy corn 
among those that came : for the famine was in 
the land of Canaan. 

6 And Joseph was the ^ governor over the 
land, and he it was that sold to all the people 
of the land : and Joseph's brethren came and 
*■ bowed do\vn themselves before him icith their 
faces to the earth. 

7 And Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew 
them, but made himself strange unto them, and 
spake t roughly unto them ; and he said unto 
them, Whence come ye .'' And they said. From 

verse 9, 11, ^j^^ j.^j^j ^^j- Cauaau, to buy food. 

8 And Joseph knew his brethren, but they 
knew not him. 

9 And Joseph ' remembered the dreams which 
he dreamed of them, and said unto them, Ye are 
spies ; to see the ^ nakedness of the land you are 
come.

17 And he put them all together into ward

35 11 And it came to pass, as they emptied 
their sacks, that, behold, every man's bundle of 
money was in his sack : and when both they 
and their father saw the bundles of money, they | 
were afraid. |

CHAPTER XLIII. 

1 Jacob is hardly persuaded to send Benjamin. 15 Joseph 
entertaineth his brethren. 31 He maketh them a feast, 

ND the famine ivas " sore in the land. 
? And it came to pass, when they had eaten 
up the corn which they had brought out of Egypt, 
their father said unto them. Go again, f buy us 
" a little food. 

3 And Judah spake unto him, saying, " The 
man did solemnly protest unto us, saying. Ye 
shall ^ not see my face, except your brother be 
with you. 

4 If thou wilt send our brother with us, we 
will go down and buy thee food : 

5 But if thou wilt not send hi7n, we will not 
go down : for the man said unto us. Ye shall not 
see my face, except your brother be with you. 

6 And Israel said. Wherefore dealt ye so ill 
with me, as to tell the man whether ye had yet 
a brother ? 

7 And they said, The man asked us straitly of 
our state, and of our kindred, saying, Is your 
father yet alive ? have ye another brother ? and 
we told him according to the tenor of these words. 
Could we certainly know that he would say, 
Bring your brother down ?

'' What is your occupation ? And they said unto 
Pharaoh, Thy servants are " shepherds, both we, 
and also our fathers. 

4 They said moreover unto Pharaoh, For to 
sojourn in the land are we come : for thy ser- 
vants have no pasture for their flocks ; for the 
famine is sore in the land of Canaan : now 
therefore, we pray thee, let thy servants dwell

*■ 14 And Joseph gathered up all the money 
that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the 
land of Canaan, for the corn which they bought : 
and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's 

;l house. 

;I 15 And when money failed in the land of i'702. 
Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyp- 
tians came unto Joseph, and said. Give us 
' bread: for Avhy should we die in thy pre- 'Mat. 6,11,

16 And Joseph said, Give your cattle ; and 
■" I will give you for your cattle, if money fail, m Philip. 4, 

17 And they brought their cattle unto Joseph : 
and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for 
horses, and for the flocks, and for the cattle of ^^• 
the herds, and for the asses ; and he fed them 
with bread for all their cattle for that year. 

1 8 When that year was ended, they came un- 
to him the second year, and said unto him. We 
will "not hide it from my lord, how that our nPs. 32,5. 
money is spent ; my lord also hath our herds of 13.°^' ' 
cattle : there is not aught left in the sight of my

both we and our land ? buy us and our land for 
bread, and we and our land will be servants 
unto Pharaoh ; and give us seed, that we may 
live and not die, that the land be not desolate. 

20 And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt 
for Pharaoh ; for the Egyptians sold every man 
his field, because the famine prevailed over them : 
so the land became Pharaoh's. 

21 And as for the people, he removed them 
to cities from one end of the borders of Egypt 
even to the other end thereof.

not ; for the priests had a portion issigned them ^^TCb.

Israel to serve with "^ rigour : 

14 And they made their lives bitter with hard 
bondage, in mortar, and in brick, and in all 
manner of service in the field ; all their service, 
wherein they made them serve, loas with rigour. 

15 H And the king of Egypt spake to the He- 
brew midwives ; (of which the name of one was 
Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah ;) 

1 6 And he said. When ye do the office of a 
midwife to the Hebrew women, and see thein 
upon the stools, if it be a son, then ye shall ' kill 
him ; but if it be a daughter, then she shall live. 

17 But the midwives ' feared God, and did 
not * as the king of Egypt commanded them, but 
saved the men-children alive. 

1 8 And the king of Egypt called for the mid- 
Avives, and said unto them, " Why have ye done 
this thing, and have saved the men-children alive? 

19 And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Be- 
cause the Hebrew women are not as the Egyp- 
tian women ; for they are lively, and are deliver- 
ed "^ ere the midwives come in unto them. 

20 Therefore God dealt ^ well with the mid- 
wives : and the people multiplied, and waxed 
very mighty. 

21 And it came to pass, because the midwives 
feared God, that he "" made them houses. 

22 And Pharaoh " charged all his people, say- 
ing. Every son that is born ye shall cast into the 
river, and every daughter ye shall save alive. 

CHAPTER II. 

2 Moses is born, 3 and in an ark cast into the flags. 5 
He is fonnd and bronght up by Pharaoh's daughter : 1 1 
He slayeth an Egyptian : 13 He reproveth an Hebrew : 
15 He fleeth into Midian : 21 He marrieth Zipporah. 
22 Gcrshom is born. 23 God respecteth the Israel- 
ites' cry. 

ND there went * a man of the house of Le- 
vi, and '' took to wife a daughter of Levi. 
2 And the woman conceived and bare a " son : 



A 



and when she saw him that he was ^ a goodly 
child, she " hid him three months. 

3 And when she could ' not longer hide him, 
she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daub- 
ed it with slime and with pitch, and put the 
child therein ; and she laid it in the flags by the 
river's brink. 

4 And ^ his sister stood afar oflf, to wit what 
would be done to him. 

5 And the *■ daughter of Pharaoh came down 
to wash herself at the river ; and her maidens 
walked along by the river's side : and when she 
saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid 
to fetch it. 

6 And when she had opened it, she saw the 
child : and, behold, the babe wept. And she 
had ' compassion on him, and said, This is one 
of the "^ Hebrews' children. 

7 Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter, 
Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew 
women, that she may nurse the child for thee ? 

8 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. 
And the maid went and called the ' child's mo- 
ther. 

9 And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, 
Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and 
I will give thee thy wages. And the woman 
took the child, and nursed it. 

10 And the child grew, and she brought him 
unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became " her 
son. And she called his name || Moses : and she 
said. Because 1 drew him out of the water. 

1 1 II And it came to pass in those days, when 
Moses was ° grown, that he went out unto his 
brethren, and looked on their burdens : and he 
espied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of 
his brethren. 

12 And he looked this way and that way, and, 
when he saw that there was no man, he ° slew 
the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand. 

13 And when he went out ^the second day, 
behold, two men of the Hebrews strove toge- 
ther : and he said '' to him that did the wrong, 
Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow ? 

14 And he said. Who made thee "■ a prince 
and a Judge over us ? Intendest thou to kill me, 
as thou killedst the Egyptian ? And Moses 
' feared, and said. Surely this thing is known. 

15 Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he 
sought to slay Moses. But Moses ' fled from 
the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of 

I " Midian : And he sat down by a " well. 
j 16 Now the II priest of Midian had seven 
I daughters : and they came and drew vxiter, and 
i filled the troughs to water their father's flock. 

il7 And the shepherds came and drove them 
away : but Moses stood up and ^ helped them, 
and watered their flock.

30 And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and |i 
all his servants, and all the Egyptians ; and there 
was ' a great cry in Egypt ; for there was not a, 
house where there was not one dead. 

31 And lie ' called for Moses and Aaron by 
night, and said, Rise up, and get you forth from 
among my people, both you and the children of 
Israel ; and go, serve the Lord, as ye have said. ^ 

32 Also take your flocks and your herds, as 
ye have said, and be gone ; and ' bless me also. 

33 And the Egyptians were " urgent upon the 
people, that they might send them out of the

Ps. 105, 38. 34 And the people took their dough before it 
y ch. 8, 29. was Icavencd, their ^ kneading-troughs being 
bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders. 

35 And the children of Israel did according 
to the word of Moses ; and they ^ borrowed of 
the Egyptians jewels of silver and jewels of 
gold, and raiment : 

36 And the Lord gave the people "" favour 
in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they ^ lent 
unto them such things as they required : and 
they spoiled the Egyptians 



thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, nei- 
ther had they prepared for themselves any victual. 

40 IT Now the ' sojourning of the children of 
Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, ivas ° four hundred 
and thirty years. 

41 And it came to pass at the end of the four 
hundred and thirty years, even ^ the self-same 
day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the 
Lord went out from the land of Egypt. 

42 It is -d night t to be much observed unto 
I the Lord for bringing them out from the laud 

of Egypt : this is that night of the Lord to be 
observed of all the children of Israel in their ge- 
nerations. 

43 And the Lord said unto Moses and Aaron, 
This is the ordinance of the passover : There 
shall ' no stranger eat thereof : 

44 But every man's servant that is '' bought 
for money, when thou hast circumcised him, 
then ' shall he eat thereof. 

45 
not eat thereof. 

46 " In one house shall it be eaten : thou shalt 
not carry forth aught of the flesh abroad out of 
the house ; neither shall ye break a ° bone thereof. 

47 All the congregation of Israel shall ^ keep it. 

48 And when ^ a stranger shall sojourn with 
thee, and will ' keep the passover to the Lord, 
let all his males be cii'cumcised, and then ' let 
him come near and keep it ; and he shall be as 
one that is born in the land : for * no uncircum- 
cised person shall eat thereof. 

49 " One law shall be to him that is homeborn, 
and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you. 

50 Thus did all the children of Israel : as the 
Lord commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.

there shall no ' leavened bread be eaten. 

4 This day came ye out, in the month Abib. 

5 And it shall be, when the Lord shall bring 
thee into the land of the Canaanites, and the 
Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Hivites, and 
the Jebusites, which he sware unto thy fathers 
to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, 
that thou shalt keep this service in this month. 

6 Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, 
and in the seventh day shall be' 3. feast to the 
Lord. 

7 Unleavened bread shall be eaten seren days : 
and there shall no leavened bread be seen with 
thee ; neither shall there be leaven seen with 
thee in all thy quarters. 

3 jI And thou shalt *" shew thy son in that 
day, saying, This is done because of that which 
the Lord did unto me when I came forth out 
of Egypt. 

9 And it shall be for ' a sign unto thee '' upon 
thine hand, and for a memorial between thine 
eyes ; that the Lord's law may be in thy 
' mouth : for with a strong hand hath the Lord 
brought thee out of Egypt. 

10 Thou shalt thereibre keep this ordinance 
in his season from year to year. 

11 And it shall be, when the Lord shall 
bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, as he 
sware unto thee and to thy fathers, and shall 
give it theo, 

12 That thou shalt set apart unto the Lord 
'" all that openeth the matrix, and every ° first- 
ling that cometh of a beast which thou hast ; 
the males .s'uUl be the Lord's. 

13 And every firstling of an "ass thou shalt 
redeem with '' a lamb ; and if thou u ilt not re- 
deem it, then thou shalt * break his neck : and 
all the first-l)()rn of man among thy children 
shalt thou ' redeem. 

14 And it shall be, when thy son asketh thee 
t iii time to come, saying, ' What is this .'' that 
thou shalt say unto him. By strength of hand 
the Lord br(»ught ' us out from Egypt, from 
the house of bondage : 

15 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh " would 
hardly let us go, that the Lord slew all the first- 
born in the land of Egypt, both the first-born of 
man, and the first-born of beasts : therefore I 
sacrifice to the Lord all that openeth the ma-

^ 18 But God led the people about, through 
the ' way of the wilderness of the Red Sea, 
And the children of Israel went up f harnessed 
out of the land of Egypt. 

19 And Moses took the "^ bones of Josejih with 
i him ; for he had straitly su orn the children of 
{ Israel, saying, God will surely visit you ; and ye 
i shall carry up my bones away hence "w iih you. 
i 20 !I And they took their journey from Suc- 
coth, and erxamped in Etham, in the edge of 
the wilderness. 

21 And the Lord " went before them by day 
in "^ a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the A\ay ,; 
and by night in a pillar of ' fire, to give them 
light ; to go by day and night, 

22 He took not away the pillar of the cloud 
by day, nor the pillar of fiie by mght, from be- 
fore the people. 

CHAPTER XIV. 

1 God instructeth the Israelites in their journey. 5 Pha- 
raoh pursueth after them. 10 The Israelites murmur. 
13 Moses comforteth them. 15 God instructeth Mo- 
ses. 19 The cloud rcmoveth behind the camp. 21 
The Israelites p;;ss througii the Red Sea, 23 \vhich 
drowneth the Egyptians. 

AND the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, that 
they turn and encamp * before Pi-hahiroth, be- 
tween Migdol and the sea, over against *" Baal- 
zeph.on : before it shall ye encamp by the sea. 

3 For Pharaoh will say of the children of 
Israel, They are " entangled in the land, the 
wilderness hath shut them in. 

4 And I \\ ill -^ harden Pharaoh's heart that 
he shall follow after them ; and I will ' be ho- 
noured upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host ; 
that the Egyptians may know that I am the 
Lord. And they did so. 

5 And it was told the king of Egypt that the 
people ^ fled : and the heart of Pharaoh and of 
his servants was turned against the people, and 
they said, ° Why have we done this, that we 
have let Israel go from serving us ? 

6 And he made ready his chariot, and took 
his people with him : 

7 And he took six hundred '"chosen chariots, 
and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over 
every one of them. 

8 And the Lord hardened the heart of Pha- 
raoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the 

hand, and for ' frontlets between thine eyes : for | children of Israel : and the children of Israel

10 And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the chil-

Egyptians marched after them ; and they were 
' sore afraid : and the children of Israel cried out 
unto the Lord. 

1 1 And they said unto Moses, Because tliere 
were "' no graves m Egypt, hast thou taken us 
a^vay to die in the wilderness ? wherefore hast 
thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of 
Egypt ? 

12 Is not this the word that we did tell thee 
in Egypt, saying, ° Let us alone, that we may 
serve the Egyptians ? for it had been better for 
us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should 
die in the wilderness. 

13 AnJ Moses said unto the people, " Fear ye 
not, P stand still, and see ^ the salvation of t!?.e 
Lord, which he will shew to you to-day : for 
the Egyptians whom ye have seen to-day, ye 
shall " see them again no more for ever : 

14 The Lord shall ' fight for you, and ye 
shall ' hold your peace. 

15 H And the Lord said unto Moses, Where- 
fore " criest thou unto me ? speak unto the chil- 
dren of Israel, that they go forward : 

16 But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out 
thine hand over the sea, and divide it ; and the 
children of Israel s-hall go on dry ground through 
the midst of the sea. 

17 And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of 
the Egyptians, and they shall follow them : and 
I will get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon 
all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his 
horsemen.

ivere a wall unto them on their right hand and 
on their left. 

30 Thus the Lord saved Israel that day out 
of the hand of the Egyptians ; and Israel "■ saw 
the Egyptians dead upon the sea-shore. 

31 And Israel saw that great work which the 
Lord did upon the Egyptians : and the people 
feared the Lord, and 'believed the Lord, and 
his servant Moses.

1 Moses' song. 22 The people want water. 23 The 
waters at Marah are bitter. 25 A tree sweeteneth them. 
27 At Elim are twelve wells, and seventy palm-trees. 

THEN sang Moses and the children of Israel 
"" this song unto the Lord, and spake, 
saying, I will sing unto the Lord, for he hath 
triumphed f gloriously : the horse and his rider 
hath he thrown into the sea. 

2 The Lord is my ^ strength and song, and 
he is become my " salvation : he is my God, and 
I will prepare him '" an habitation ; " my father's 
God, and I will ^ exalt him. 

3 The Lord is ^ a man of war : '' the Lord 
is his name. 

4 Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast 
' into the sea : his ^ chosen captains also are 
drowned in the Red Sea. 

5 The deptlis have covered them : they sank 
into the bottom as ' a stone. 

6 Thy right hand, O Lord, is " become glo- 
rious in power : thy right hand, O Lord, hath 
dashed in pieces the enemy.

7 And in the greatness of thine excellency 
thou hast overthrown them that rose uj3 " against 
thee : thou sentest forth thy wrath, ichich con- 
sumed them as stubble. 

8 And with the ° blast of thy nostrils the wa- 
ters were gathered together : the floods stood 
upright as an heap, and the depths were ^ con- 
gealed in the heart of the sea. 

9 The enemy *• said, I will pursue, I will over- 
take, I will ■" divide the spoil ; my lust shall be

10 Thou didst ' blow with thy wind, the sea

12 Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, ^the

13 Thou in thy mercy hast "" led forth the peo-

they will walk in my law or no. 

5 And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth

commanded : Gather of it every man according \

he that gathered little had no lack : they gathered

3 And the people thirsted there for water ; and 
the people muKnured against Moses, and said, 
Wherefore is this that thou hast brought us up 
out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our 
cattle ^^'ith thirst ? 

4 x-Vnd Moses ' cried unto the Lord, saying, 
^Vhat shall I do unto this people ? ^ they be al- 
most ready to stone me. 

5 And the Lord said unto Moses, *" Go on be- 
Acts2o,23, fore the people, and take with thee of the elders 
icii.7,m of Israel ; and 'thy rod, wherewith thou smotest 

the river, take in thine hand, and go. 

6 Behold, I will stand before thee there upon 
'the rock in Horeb ; and thou shalt smite the 

kNeh.9,15. rock, and there shall come '' water out of it, that 
the people may drink. And Moses did so in the 
sight of the elders of Israel. 

7 And he called the name of the place || Mas- 
sah, and || Meribah, because of the chiding of 
the children of Israel, and because they tempted 
the Lord, saying. Is the Lord among us, or not ? 

8 H Then came ' Amalek, and fought with

men, and go out, fight with Amalek : to-morrow 
I will stand on the top of the hill, with the " rod 
of God in mine hand. 

10 So Joshua did as Moses had said to him,

and Hur, went up to the top of the hill. 

1 1 And it came to pass, when Moses " held up 
his hand, that Israel prevailed ; and when he let

thisybr a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in 
the ears of Joshua ; for I will ' utterly put out the

said. To-morrow is a '' feast to the Lord.

8 They have ^ turned aside quickly out of the 
way whicii I commanded them : they have made 
them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and 
have sacrificed thereunto, and said. These he thy 
gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out 
of the land of Egypt. 

9 And the Lord said unto Moses, I have 
seen this people, and, behold, it is a '' stiff-necked 
people : 

10 Now therefore ' let me alone, that my 
wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may 
consume them : and I will make of thee ' a great

and said. Lord, *' why doth thy wrath wax hot 
against thy people, which thou hast brought 
forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, 
and with a mighty hand '^ 

12 "Wherefore should the Egyptians speak 
and say. For mischief did he bring them out, to 
slay them in the mountains, and to consume them 
from the face of the earth ? Turn from thy fierce 
wrath, and ^ repent of this evil against thy 
people : 

13 * Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, 
thy servants, to whom thou swarest ' by thine 
own self, and saidst unto them, '" I will multiply 
your seed as the stars of heaven ; and all this 
land that I have spoken of will I give unto your 
seed, and tiiey shall inherit it for ever.

them that cry for being overcome ; hut the noise 
of them that sing do I hear. 

19 And it came to pass, as soon as he came 
nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and 
the dancing : and Moses' ^ anger waxed hot, and 
he cast tbe tables out of his hands, and ^ brake 
them beneath the mount. 

20 And he took the calf which they had made, 
and burnt it in the fire, and ' ground it to powder, 
and strewed it ^ upon the water, and made the 
children of Israel ' drink of it. 

21 And Moses said unto Aaron, What did 
this people unto thee, that thou hast brought so 
great a sin upon them ? 

22 And Aaron said. Let not the anger of my 
lord wa.x hot : thou knowest the people, that 
they '" are set on mischief. 

23 For they said unto me. Make us gods 
which shall go before us : for as for this Moses, 
the man that brought us up out of the land of 
Egypt, we wot not what is become of him. 

24 And I said unto them. Whosoever hath 
any gold, let them break it off. So they gave 
it me : then I cast it into the fire, and there 
" came out this calf.

and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy * book

^o And the Lord said unto Moses, Wiiosoever 
liath sinned against me, 'him will I blot out of 
my book. 

34 Therefore now ^ go, lead the people unto 
the place of which I have spoken unto thee : 
behold, mine angel shall go before thee : never- 
theless, in the day when I visit, I will visit their 
sin upon them. 

35 And the Lord plagued the people, because 
^ they made the calf, ^\'hich Aaron made. 

CHAPTER XXXin. 

1 The Lord refuseth to go, as he had promised, with the 
people. 4 The people mourn thereat. 7 The taber- 
nacle is removed out of the camp. 9 The Lord talketh 
familiarly with Moses. 12 Moses desireth to see the 
glory of God. 

AND the Lord said unto Moses, Depart, 
and go up hence, thou and the people 
which thou hast brought up out of the land of 
Egypt, unto the land which I sware unto Abra- 
ham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying. Unto thy 
" seed will I give it. 

2 iVnd I will send '' an angel before thee ; and 
I will drive out the " Canaanite, the Amorite, 
and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, 
and the Jebusite : 

3 Unto a land flowing with ''milk and honey: 
for I will " not go up in the midst of thee ; for 
thou art ' a stiff-necked people ; lest I ^ consume 
thee in the way. 

4 And when the people heard these evil ti- 
dings, they *" mourned ; and no man did put on 
him his ornaments. 

5 For the Lord had said unto Moses, Say 
unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiff-necked 
people : I will come up into the midst of thee in 
a moment, and consume thee : therefore now 
' put off thy ornaments from thee, that '' I may 
know what to dc unto thee. 

6 And the children of Israel stripped them- 
selves of their ornaments by the ' mount Horeb. 

7 !! And Moses took the tabernacle, and 
pitched it without the camp, afar " off from the 
camp, and called it. The Tabernacle of the 
Congregation. And it came to pass, that every 
one which sought the Lord went out unto the 
tabernacle of the congregation, which was with- 
out the camp. 

8 And it came to pass,when Moses went out un- 
to the tabernacle, that all the people rose up, and 
stood every man " at his tent-door, and looked after 
Moses, until he was gone into the tabernacle. 

9 And it came to pass, as Moses entered into 
the tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended, and 
stood at the door of the tabernacle, and " the 
LORD talked with Moses. 



10 And all the people saw the cloudy pillar 
stand at the tabernacle-door : and all the people 
rose up and ^ worshipped, every man in his tent- 
door. 

1 1 And the Lord spake unto Moses '^ face to 
face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. Aim I 
he turned again into the camp : but his servant 
.Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed 
not out of the tabernacle. 

12 And Moses said unto the Lord, See, 
'thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people : and 
thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send 
with me. Yet thou hast said, ' I know thee by 
name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight. 

13 Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found 
grace in thy sight, shew me now ' thy way, that 
I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy 
sight ; and consider that this nation is "thy people. 

14 And he said, " My presence shall go ivith 
thee, and I will give thee rest. 

15 And he said unto him, If ^ thy presence 
go not ivith me, carry us not up hence. 

16 For wherein shall it be known here that 
I and thy people have found grace in thy sight ? 
Is it not in that thou goest with us ? So shall we 
be "^ separated, I and thy people, from all the 
people that are upon the face of the earth. 

17 And the Lord said unto Moses, *I will 
do this thing also that thou hast spoken : for 
thou hast found grace m my sight, and I know 
thee by name. 

18 And he said, I beseech thee, shew me 
' thy glory. 

19 And he said, I will make all my "goodness 
pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name 
of the Lord before thee ; and will be gracious 
to whom I will be ^ gracious, and will shew 
^ mercy on whom I will shew mercy. 

20 And he said, Thou 'canst not see my face : 
for there shall no man see me ^ and live. 

21 And the Lord said. Behold, there is a place 
by me, and thou shalt stand upon *" a rock : 

22 And it shall come to pass, while my glory 
passeth by, that I will put thee in ' a cleft of the 
rock, and will cover ^ thee with ' my hand while 
I pass by : 

23 And I will take away mine hand, and thou 
shalt see my " back parts ; but my face iihall 
° not be seen.

10 God maketh a covenant with them, repeating cer- 
tain duties of the first table. 28 Moses, after forty 
days in the mount, cometh down with the tables. 29 
His face shinelh, and he covereth it with a vail.

2 And be ready '' in the morning, and come 
up in the mornuig unto mount Sinai, and present 
thyself there to me in the top of the momit. 

3 And no man ^ shall come up with thee, nei- 
ther let any man be seen throughout all the 
mount ; neither let the flocks nor herds feed be- 
fore that mount. 

4 And he hewed two tables of stone, like unto 
the first : and jMoses rose up early in the morn- 
ing, and went up unto mount Sinai, as the Lord 
had commanded him, and Took m his hand the 
two tables of stone. 

5 H And the Lord descended in the cloud, 
and stood with him there, and ' proclaimed the 
name of the Lord. 

6 And the Lord passed by l)efore him, and 
proclaimed. The Lord, the I^ord God, merciful 
arid gracious, ^long-suffering, and abundant ^ in 
goodness and truth, 

7 Keeping mercy for ' thousands, '' forgiving 
iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will 
' by no means clear the guilty ; visitmg the ini- 
quity of the fathers upon the children, and upon 
the children's children, unto the third and to the 
fourth generation. 

8 And Moses made haste, and bowed '" his 
head toward the earth, and worshipped. 

9 And he said. If now I have found grace in 
thy sight, O Lord, let my Lord, I pray thee, 
° go amongst us ; for it is a stiff-necked people ; 
and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us 
for thine ° inheritance. 

10 And He .said. Behold, I make a covenant : 
before all thy people I will do ■■ marvels, such as 
have not been done in all the earth, nor in any 
nation : and all the people amongst which thou 
art shall see the work of the Lord ; for it is "■ a 
terrible thing that I will do 'with thee. 

1 1 Observe thou that which ' I command thee 
this day ; Behold, I drive out before thee the 
Amorito, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and 
the Pcrizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite. 

12 Take heed to thyself, lest thou make 'a 
covenant with the inhabitants of th^ land whither 
thou goest, lest it be for "a snare in the midst of 
thee : 

13 But ye shall destroy their altars, break 
their images, and cut down their ' groves : 

14 For thou shalt worship no other god: for 
the Lord, whose name is Jealous, -' is a jealous 
God: 

13 Lest thou make a covenant whh the inha- 
bitants of the land, and they go a ^ whoring after 
their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and

words I have made a covenant with thee and 
with Israel. 

28 And he was there with the Lord || forty 
days and forty nights ; he did neither eat bread E"-^- 's

2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say 
unto them, If any man of you bring " an offering 
unto the Lord, ye shall bring your offering of 
the cattle, even of the herd, and of the ^ flock. 

3 If his offering he a " burnt-sacrifice of the 
herd, let him offer a male without '^ blemish : he 
shall offer it of his own ^ voluntary will, at ^ the 
door of the tabernacle of the congregation, 'be- 
fore the Lord. 

4 And he shall put his hand upon the head of 
the burnt-offering; and it shall be accepted for 
him, '' to make atonement for him. 

5 And ' he shall kill the " bullock before the 
Lord : and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall bring 
the blood, ° and sprinkle the blood round about 
upon the altar that is by the door of the taber- 
nacle of the congregation. 

6 And he shall flay the burnt-offering, and 

II cut it into his pieces. 

7 And the sons of Aaron the priest shall ° put 
fire upon the altar, and lay the wood in order 
upon the fire : 

8 And the priests, Aaron's sons, shall lay the 
■^ parts, the head, and the fat, in order upon the 
wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar : 

9 But his inwards and his legs shall he wash 
in '' water : and the priest shall burn all on the 
altar, to be a burnt-sacritice, an offering made by 
fire of a ' sweet savour unto the Lord. 

10 And if his offering be of the flocks, namely, 
of the " sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt sacri- 
fice ; he shall bring it a male without blemish. 

1 1 And he shall kill it on the side of the altar 



northward before the Lord : and the priests, ^^^ 
Aaron's sons, shall sprinkle his blood round 
about upon the altar : 

12 And he shall cut it into his pieces, with his 
head and his fat : and the priest shall lay them 
in order on the wood that is on the fire which is

13 But he shall wash the inwards and the 
legs with water : and the priest shall bring it 

' all, and burn it upon the altar : it is a burnt- tCai. 1,2a 
sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet 
savour unto the Lord. 

14 And if the burnt-sacrifice for his offering 
to the Lord be of fowls, then he shall bring his 
offering of " turtle-doves, or of " young pigeons. " ''''• |- ''•

sin-offering. 

4 And he shall bring the bullock unto the door 
of the tabernacle of the congregation before the 
Lord ; and shall ^ lay his hand upon the bul-

7 And the priest shall put some of the blood 
upon the horns of the altar of ' sweet incense be- 
fore the Lord, which is in the tabernacle of the 
congregation ; and shall pour all the blood of the 
bullock at the bottom of the altar of the burnt- 
offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle 
of the congregation. 

8 And he shall take off from it all the fat of 
the bullock for the sin-offering ; the ^ fat that

9 And the two kidneys, and the fat that is

34 For the wave-breast and the heave-shoul- 
der have I taken of the children of Israel from 
off the sacrifices of their peace-ofFerings, and 
have given them unto Aaron the priest and unto 
his sons, by a statute "" for ever from among the 
children of Israel. 

35 This is the portion of the " anointing of 
Aaron, and of the anointing of his sons, out of 
the offerings of the Lord made by fire, in the 
day ivhen he presented them to minister unto the 
Lord in the priest's office ; 

36 Which the Lord commanded to be given 
them of the children of Israel, in the day that he 
anointed them, by a statute for ever throughout 
their generations. 

37 This is the law of the burnt-offering, of 
the meat-offering, and of the sin-offering, and of 
the trespass-offering, and of the ° consecrations, 
and of the sacrifice of the peace-offerings ; 

38 Which the Lord commanded Moses in 
p mount Sinai, in the day that he commanded 
the children of Israel to offer their '^ oblations 
unto the Lord, in the wilderness of Sinai. 

CHAPTER VIII. 

1 Moses consecrateth Aaron and his sons. 14 Their sin- 
offering. 18 Their burnt-offering. 22 The ram of con- 
secration. 31 The place and time of their consecration. 

AND the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 
2 Take " Aaron, and his sons with him, and 
the garments, and the *" anointing oil, and a bul- 
lock for the "sin-offering, and two rams, and a 
basket of unleavened bread ; 

3 And gather thou all the congregation to- 
gether unto the '^ door Qf the tabernacle of the 
congregation. 

4 And Moses did " as the Lord commanded 
him; and the assembly was gathered together unto 
the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 

5 And Moses said unto the congregation. 
This is the thing which the Lord commanded to 
be done. 

6 And Moses brought Aaron and his sons, 
and washed them with "^ water. 

7 And he put upon him the ^ coat, and girded 
him with the girdle, and clothed him with the 
robe, and put the ephod upon him, and he gird- 
ed him with the curious girdle of the ephod, and 
bound it unto him therewith. 

8 And he put the '' breast-plate upon him ; 
neb.T,hl'. ^1^0 he put in the breast-plate the * Urim and the 

Thummim. 

9 And he put the mitre upon his head : also 
k Ex. 28, upon the mitre, even upon his ^ fore-front, did 
1 Ephes. 1, he put the golden plate, the ' holy crown as the 
^' Lord commanded Moses. 

m Ex.30, iQ ^j^^ Moses took the " anointing oil, and 



The ram of conseci 

anointed the tabernacle, and all that it;a5 therein, 
and sanctified them. 

1 1 And he sprinkled thereof upon the altar se- 
ven times, and anointed the altar, and all his "ves- 
sels, both the laver and his foot, to sanctify them. 

12 And he poured of the anointing oil upon 
° Aaron's head, and anointed him, to sanctify him. 

13 And Moses brought Aaron's sons, and put 
coats upon them, and girded them with girdles, 
and put bonnets upon them ; as the Lord com- 
manded Moses. 

14 And he brought the bullock for the p sin- 
offering ; and Aaron and his sons laid " their 
hands upon the head of the bullock for the f sin- 
offering. 

15 And he 'slew it ; and Moses took the blood, 
and put {^upon the ^ horns of the altar round about 
with his finger, and f purified the altar, and pour- 
ed the blood at the bottom of the altar, and ' sanc- 
tified it, to make reconciliation upon it. 

16 And he took all the " fat that ivas upon the 
inwards, and the '' caul above the liver, and the 
two kidneys, and their fat, and Moses burned it 
upon the altar. 

17 But the bullock and his hide, his flesh and 
his dung, he burnt with fire ^ without the camp; 
as the Lord commanded Moses. 

1 8 And he brought the ram for the ^ burnt-of- 
fering : and Aaron and his sons laid their hands 
upon the head of the ram. 

1 9 And he ^ killed it ; and Moses sprinkled 
the blood upon the altar round about. 

20 And he cut the ram into pieces, and Moses 
burnt the head, and the pieces, and the fat. 

21 And he washed the inwards and the legs 
in water ; and Moses burnt the whole ram upon 
the altar : it ivas a burnt-sacrifice for ''a sweet 
savour, and an offering made by fire unto the 
Lord ; as the Lord commanded Moses. 

22 And he brought the other " ram, the ram 
of consecration : and Aaron and his sons laid 
their hands upon the head of the ram. 

23 And he slew it ; and Moses took of the 
blood of it, and put it upon the tip of Aaron's 
right ear, and upon the thumb of his right hand, 
and upon the great toe of his '' right foot. 

24 And he brought Aaron's sons, and Moses 
put of the blood upon the tip of their right ears, 
and upon the thumbs of their right hands, and 
upon the great toes of their right feet; and Moses 
sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about. 

25 And he took the lat, and the '^ rump, and 
all the fat that loas upon the inwards, and the 
caul above the liver, and the two kidneys, and 
their fat, and the right shoulder : 

26 And out of the basket of unleavened bread, 
that ivas before the Lord, he took one unleav- 
ened cake, and a cake of *^ oiled bread, and one

27 And he put all upon Aaron's hands, and 
upon his sons' hands, and ^ waved them for a

28 And Moses took them from off their hands, 
and burnt them on the altar upon the burnt-of-

29 And ' Moses took the breast, and waved it 
for a wave-offering before the Lord : for of the

30 And Moses took of the ' anointing oil, and 
of the blood which was upon the altar,and sprink- 
led it upon Aaron, and upon his garments, and 
upon his sons, and upon his sons' garments with 
him ; and sanctified Aaron, and his garments, 
and his sons, and his sons' garments with him. 

31 And Moses said unto Aaron, and to his 
sons. Boil the flesh " at the door of the tabernacle 
of thecongregation; and there eat it with the bread 
that is in the basket of consecrations, as " I com- ^ 
manded, saving, Aaron and his sons shall eat it. 

32 And that which " remaineth of the Hash 
and of the bread shall ye burn with fire. 

33 And ye shall not go out of the door of the 
tabernacle of the congregation in ''seven days, 
until the days of your consecration be at an end: 
for seven days shall he consecrate you. 

34 As he hath done this day, so the Lord ^ 
hath commanded to do, to make an atonement \ 
'' for you. ][ 

33 Therefore shall ye ' abide at the door of ' 
the tabernacle of the congregation day and night, t

your heads, neither rend your clothes ; lest you 
die, and lest wrath come upon ° all the people : 
but let your brethren, the whole house of Israel, 
bewail the ^ burning which the Lord hath 
kindled. 

7 And ye shall not go out from the door of the 
tabernacle of the congregation, lest you die : for 
the ''anointing oil of the Lord is upon you. 
And they did according to the word of Moses. 

8 H And the Lord spake unto Aaron, saying, 

9 Do not drink wine, nor strong f drink, thou, 
nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the ta- 
bernacle of the congregation, lest ye die : it shall 
6e a statute for ever throughout your generations; 

10 And that ye may ■■ put difference betvveen 
holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean; 

11 And that ye may teach the children of Is- 
rael ' all the statutes which the Lord hath spoken 
unto them by the hand of Moses. 

12 H And Moses spake unto Aaron, and unto 
Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons that were left. 



19 And Aaron said unto Moses, Behold, this 
day have they offered their sin-offering and their 
burnt-offering before the Lord ; and such things 
have befallen me : and if I had eaten the sin-of- 
fering to-day, should it have been "accepted in

16 Thou shalt not uncover the nakediiess of

1 7 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a

to uncover her nakedness ; for they are her near

18 Neither shalt thou take a wife ''to her sis-

12 And I, behold, I have taken the Levites 
from among the children of Israel instead of all 
the ° first-born that ^ openeth the matrix among 
the children of Israel ; therefore the Levites shall 
be mine ;

the day that '' I smote all the first-born in the land 
of Egypt I liallowed unto me all the first-born in 
Israel, both man and beast ; mine they shall be : 
I am the Lord. 

14 And the Lord spake unto Moses in the

month old and upward, even those that were i; 
numbered of them, were seven thousand and 
five hundred. 

23 The families of the Gershonites shall pitch

S3 Of Merari was the family of the Mahlites, 
and the family of the Mushites : these are the 
families of Merari. 

34 And those that were numbered of them,

6 A second pass-

15 The cloud guideth the rcmovings and encampings 
of the Israelites. 

ND tlie Lord spake unto Moses in the 
"■ wilderness of Sinai, in the '' first month 
of the second year after they were come out of 
the land of Egypt, saying, 

2 Let the children of Israel also keep the 
" passover at his ^ appointed season. 

3 In the fourteenth day of this month, ^ at 
even, ye shall keep it in his appointed season : 
according to all the f rites of it, and according 
to all the t ceremonies thereof, shall ye keep it. 

4 And Moses spake unto the children of Is- 
rael, that they should keep the passover. 

5 And they kept the passover on the fourteenth 
day of the first month, at even, in the w ilderness 
of Sinai : according to all that the Lord com- 
manded Moses, so did the children of Israel. 

6 1 And there were certain men who were de- 
filed by the *■ dead body of a man, that they could 
not keep the passover on that day : and they came 
before Moses and before Aaron on that day : 

7 And those men said unto him, We are de- 
filed by the dead body of a man : wherefore 
are ^^ e kept back, that we may not offer « an 
offering of the Lord in his appointed season 
among the children of Israel ? 

8 And Moses said unto them. Stand still, and 
I will hear "^ what the Lord will command con- 
cerning you. 

9 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 

10 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying. 
If any man of you or of your posterity shall be 
unclean by reason of a dead body, or be in a 
journey ' afar off, yet he shall keep the pass- 
over unto the Lord. 

1 1 The fourteenth day of the second month 
kDcut. ic, at even they shall keep it, and ^ eat it with ' un- 
lEx. 12.8. leavened bread and " bitter herbs. 

12 They shall leave none of it " unto the 
morning, ° nor break any bone of it : accord- 
ing to all the ordinances of the passover they 
shall keep it. 

13 But the man that is clean, and is not in a 
journey, and p forbeareth to keep the passover, 
even the same soul shall be ^ cut off ■" from his 
people : because he brought not the offering of 
the Lord in his appointed season, that man shall 
bear ' his sin. 

14 And if a stranger shall * sojourn among 
you, and will keep the passover unto the Lord ; 
according to the ordinance of the passover, and 

uLev.5,10. according to the " manner thereof, so shall he 
do : ye shall have one ordinance, both for the 
stranger, and for him that was born in the land.

as the cloud abode upon the tabernacle they J,'.,^'*- ^°^'

19 And when the cloud ^ tarried long upon e Acts 1,7, 
the tabernacle many days, then the children of 

Israel kept the charge of the Lord, and jour- 
neyed not. 

20 And so it was, when the cloud was a few 
days upon the tabernacle ; according to the 
commandment of the Lord they abode in their 
tents, and accordinir to the commandment of the 
Lord they journeyed. 

21 And so it was, when the cloud abode from 
even unto the morning, and tliat the cloud was 
taken up in the morning, then they journeyed ; 
w hether it icas by day or by night that the cloud 
was taken up, they journeyed. 

22 Or whether it were two days, or a month, 
or a year, that the cloud tarried upon the taber- 
nacle, remaining thereon, the children of Israel 
abode in their tents, and journeyed not: but 
when it w^as taken up, they journeyed. 

23 f At the commandment of the Lord they ^^^2,3Jl' 
rested in their tents, and at the commandment of 

the Lord they journeyed : they kept the charge 
of the Lord, at the commandment of the Lord 
by the e hand of Moses.

7 But wiien the congregation is to be gather- 
ed together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound 
an alarm. 

8 And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall 
blow with the trumpets ; and they shall be to 
you for an ordinance for ever throughout your 
generations. 

9 And if ye go to war in your land against 
the enemy that '' oppresseth you, then ye shall 
blow an alarm with ' the trumpets ; and ye shall 
^ be remembered before the Lord your God, and 
ye shall be saved from your enemies. 

10 Also in the day of your ' gladness, and in 
your ■" solemn days, and in the " beginnings of 
your months, ye shall blow ° with the trumpets 
over your '' burnt-offerings, and over the sacri- 
fices of your '^ peace-offerings ; that they may 
be to you for a memorial before your God : I 
am the Lord your God. 

Ill And it came to pass on the twentieth 
day of the " second month, in the ' second year, 
that the ' cloud was taken up from off the ta- 
bernacle of the testimony. 

12 And the children of Israel took their jour- 
neys out of the wilderness of " Sinai ; and the 
cloud rested in the wilderness of ^ Paran. 

IS And they first took their journey accord- 
ing to the y commandment of the Lord by the 
hand of ^ Moses. 

14 In the first place went the standard of the 
camp of the children * of Judah according to 
tJieir armies : and over his host was Nahshon 
the son of Amminadab. 

15 And over the host of the tribe of the chil- 
dren of Issachar was Nethaneel, the son of Zuar. 

16 And over the host of the tribe of the chii- 
dren of Zebulun ivas Eliab the son of Helon. 

17 And the tabernacle was ^ taken doAvn ; 
and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari 
set forward, •= bearing the tabernacle. 

18 And the standard of the camp of "^ Reuben 
set forward according to their armies : and over 
his host was Elizur the son of Shedeur. 

19 And over the host of the tribe of the chil- 
dren of Simeon ivas Shelumiel the son of Zuri- 
shaddai. 

20 And over the host of the tribe of the chil- 
dren of Gad ivas Eliasaph the son of Deuel. 

21 And the Kohathites set forward, bearing 



24 And over the host of the tribe of the chil- 
dren of Benjamin ivas Abidan the son of Gideoni. 

25 And the standard of the camp of the chil- 
dren of Dan set forward, which was the '' rear- fDeut.25, 
ward of all the camps throughout their hosts : iJa.'si 12. 
and over his host ivas Ahiezer the son of Ammi- ^ ^'°' ^' 
shaddai. 

26 And over the host of the tribe of the chil- 
dren of Asher was Pagiel the son of Ocran. 

27 And over the host of the tribe of the chil- 
dren of Naphtali was Ahira the son of Enan. 

28 t Thus were the journey ings of the chil- t^^l^*;^- 
dren of Israel according to their armies, when ch.2,9. & 
they set forward. Hf^ 

29 And Moses said unto = Hobab, the son of ^cf'i's 
Raguel the Midianite, Moses' father-in-law, We 9- ' ' 
are journeying unto the place of which the Lord Coh°2, 5. 
said, I will give it you : come thou with us, and 1^8,i'. ^' 
we will do thee good : for the Lord hath spoken 
good concerning Israel. 



30 And he said unto him, I will 



not go

us instead of ' eyes. z^-"'? ~"' '^ 

32 And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it Oai. vi5. 
shall be, that what goodness the Lord shall do 

unto us, the same will we do unto thee. 

33 And they departed from the "^ mount of iV^^" ''' 
the Lord ' three days' journey : and the ark of 
the covenant of the Lord went before them in 
the three days' journey, to search out a resting-

"J thine enemies be "■ scattered, and let them that rPs.2, 9. "

36 And when it rested, he said, Return, O

8 And the people went about, and gathered

the taste of it was as the taste of " fresh oil.

heave-offering of the Lord, of all the f best 
thereof, even the hallowed part thereof, out of it. 

30 Therefore thou shalt say unto them, 
When ye have heaved the best thereof from it, 
then it shall be counted unto the Levites as the 
increase of the threshing-floor, and as the in- 
crease of the wine-press.

of Israel, and unto the stranger that sojournetli 
among them, for a statute for e\ er. 

11 H He that toucheth the dead body of any 
man shall ' be unclean seven days. 

12 He shall = purify himself with it on the 
third day, and on the seventh day he shall be 
clean : but if he purify not himself the third day, 
then the seventh day he shall not be clean. 

13 AVhosoever toucheth the dead body of any 
man that is dead, and jnailieth not himself, de- 
fileth the tabernacle of the Lord : and that soul 
shall be cut ' off from Israel : because the waterof 
separation was not sprinkled upon him, he shall 
be unclean ; his uncleanness is yet upon him. 

14 This is the law when a man dicth in a 
tent ; All that come into the tent, and all that is 
in the tent, shall be unclean seven days. 

15 And every "open vessel, Avhich hath no co- 
yering bound upon it, is unclean.

11 And they journeyed from Oboth, and 
pitched at ^ Ije-abarim, in the wilderness which 
is before ^ jNIoab, toward the sun-rising. 

12 From thence they removed, and pitched 
in the valley of " Zared. 

1 3 From thence they removed, and pitched on 
the other side of '^ Arnon, which is in the wilder- 
ness that Cometh out of the coasts of the Amo- 
rites : for Arnon is the border of JMoab, between 
Moab and the Amorites.

wars of the Lord, What he did in the Red Sea, 
and in the ^ brooks of Arnon, 

15 And at the stream of the brooks that go- 
eth dov/n to the dwelling of Ar, and lieth upon 
the border of jMoab.

is the well whereof the Lord spake unto Mo- 
ses, Gather the people together, and I ^ will give 
them water. 

17 Then Israel ^ sang this song, Spring up, 
O well : sing ye unto it. 

18 The ^ princes digged the well, the nobles 
of the people digged it, by the direction of the 
' law-giver, with their ^ staves. And from the 
wilderness they went to Mattanah : 

19 And from Mattanah to Nahaliel : and 
from Nahaliel to Bamoth : 

20 And from Bamoth in the valley, that is, 
in the country of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, 
which looketh toward Jeshimon. 

21 \ And Israel ' sent messengers unto Sihon 
king of the Amorites, saving, 

22 " Let me pass through thy land : we will 
not turn into the fields, or into the vineyards ; 
we will not drink q/the waters of the well : hut 
we will go along by the king's high-way, until

23 And Sihon ° would not suffer Israel to 
pass through his border ; but Sihon gathered all 
his people together, and went out against Israel 
into the wilderness : and he came to ° Jahaz, 
and fought against Israel. 

24. And p Israel smote him witli the edge of the 
sword, and possessed his land from Arnon unto 
Jabbok, even unto the children of Ammon : for the

Midianites spoiled. CHAPT 

12 But if her husband hath f utterly made 
them void on the day he heard them ; then what- 
soever proceeded out of her lips concerning her 
vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall 
not stand ; her husband hath made them void, 
and the Lord shall forgive her. 

13 Every vow, and every binding oath to 
" afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, 
or her husband may make it void. 

14 But if her husband f altogether hold his 
peace at her, from day to day ; then he estab- 
lisheth all her vows, or all iier bonds, which are 
upon her : he confirmeth them, because he held 
his peace at her in the day that he heard them. 

13 But if he shall any ways make them void, 
after that he hath heard the7Ji ; then he shall 
II bear her iniquity. 

16 These are the statutes which the Lord 
° commanded Moses, between a man and his 
p wife ; between the father and his daughter, 
being yet in her youth in her father's house. 
CHAPTER XXXI. 

1 The Midianites are spoiled, and Balaam slain. 13 Mo- 
ses is wroth with the officers, for saving the women 
alive. 19 How the soldiers, >vith their captives, and 
spoil, are to be purified. 25 The proportion whereby 
the prey is to be divided. 48 The voluntary oblation 
unto the treasury of the Lord. 

AND the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 
2 " Avenge the children of Israel of the 
''Midianites: afterward shalt thou be ''gathered 
unto thy people. 

3 And Moses spake unto the people, saying. 
Arm some of voursclves unto the war, and let 
them go against the Midianites, and avenge 
the Lord of Midian. 

4 t Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all 
the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war. 

5 So there were delivered out of the thou- 
sands of Israel, a thousand oi every tribe, twelve 
thousand armed for war. 

6 And Moses sent them to the war, a thou- 
sand of every tribe, them and ' Phinehas the son 
of Eleazar the jiriest, to the war, with the Hioly 
instruments, and the ''trumpets to lilow, in his- 
hand. 

7 And tliey warred against the Midianites, as 
the Lord commanded Moses ; and they slew 
all the males. 

8 And th('y slew the kings of '" Midian, be- 
side the rest of them that were slain ; namely, 
Evi, and Rekem, and ' Zur, and Hur, and Reba, 
five '' kings of Midian : 'Balaam also, the son 
of Beor, tliey slew with the sword. 

9 And the children of Israel took a// the wo- 
men of Midian captives, and their little ones, 
and took the spoil of all their cattle, and all their 
flocks, and all their goods. 

10 And they burnt all their cities wherein 



ER XXXI. The sum of the 

they dwelt, and all their goodly castles, with fire. 

1 1 And they took all the spoil, and all the 
prey, both of men and of beasts. 

12 And they brought the captives, and the 
^ prey, and the spoi!, unto Moses and Eleazar 



prey. 




the priest, and unto the congregation of the chil- 
i dren of Israel, unto the camp at the plains of 
] Moab, which are by Jordan near Jericho. 

il3 And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and 
all the princes of the congregation, went fortli to 
° meet them without the camp. 

14 And Moses was wroth with the officers of 
the t host, tcitli the captains over thousands, and 
cajitains over hundreds, which came from the 
battle. 
! 15 And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved 
all the women alive ? 

16 Behold, these caused the children of Is- 
j rael, through the ° counsel of Balaam, to com- 
\ mit trespass against the Lord in the matter of 

Peor, and there was a plague among the con- 
gregation of the Lord. 

17 No^v therefore kill every male among the 
little ones, and kill every woman that hath 

i| P known man by lying with f him. 

18 But all the women-children that have not 
known a man, by lying with him, keep alive for 
yourselves. 

1 9 And do ye abide without the camp "^ seven 
days : whosoever hath killed any person, and 
whosoever hath ' touched any slain, ' purify both 
yourselves and your f captives, on the third day, 
and on the ' seventh day. 

20 And ])urify all your " raiment, and all 
t that is made of skins, and all work of goats' 
hair, and all things made of wood. 

21 And ' Eleazar the priest said unto the 
men of war Avhich went to the battle. This is 
the ^ ordinance of the law which the Lord 
commanded Moses ; 

22 Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, 
the iron, the tin, and the lead, 

23 Every thing that may '' abide the fire, ye 
!' shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be 

clean ; nevertheless it shall be purified with the 
" AA'ater of separation : and all that abideth not 
the fire ye shall make go through the '' water. 

24 And ye shall wash your clothes on the 
seventh day, and ye shall be cl(;an, and after- 
\N aids ye shall come into the camp. 

23 H And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 
26 Take the sum of the prey that was taken, 
. both of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the 
;; priest, and the chief fathers of the congregation ; 
|; 27 And divide the prey into "two parts; be- 
ll tween thein that took the war upon them, who 
;; went out to battle, and between all the congre- 

ll gation :

34 And threescore and one thousand asses, 

35 And thirty and two thousand persons in

36 And the half, lohich ivas the portion of them

37 And the Lord's tribute of the sheep was

41 And Moses gave the tribute, ivhich was

Levites shall be forty and eight cities: them 
shall ye give with their suburbs. 

8 And the cities wdiich ye shall give shall be 
of the possession of the children of Israel : from 
them that have many ye shall ^ give many : but 
from them that have few ye shall give few : every 
one shall give of his cities unto the Levites, ac-

10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say 
unto them, When ye be come ^ over Jordan into 
the land of Canaan ; 

1 1 Then ye shall appoint you cities to be ci- 
ties of refuge for you ; that the slayer may flee 
thither, Avhich killeth any person at f unawares. 

12 And they shall be unto you cities for re- 
fuge from the j avenger ; that the man-slayer 
die not, until he stand ' before the conCTegation 
in judgment. 

13 And of these cities which ye shall give, 
six cities shall ye have for refuge. 

14 Ye shall give ^ three cities on this side 
Jordan, '' and three cities shall ye give in the 
land of Canaan, lohich shall be cities of refuge.

1 Moses's speech in the end of the fortieth year, briefly 
rehearsing the story 6 of God's promise, 13 of giving 
them ollicers, 19 of sending the spies to search the 
land, 34 of God's anger for their incredulity, 41 and 
disobedience. 

THESE be the words which Moses spake 
unto all Israel 'on this side Jordan, in the 
wilderness, in the plain over against the Red 
Sea, betueen ^ Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, 
and Ilazeroth, and Dizahab. 

2 (There are "eleven A^.ys' journey from Ho- 
reb, by the way of '' mount Seir, unto " Kadesh- 
barnea.) 

3 And it came to pass in the ^fortieth year, 
in the ^ eleventh month, on the first day of the 



I month, that Moses spake unto the children of 

\ Israel, according unto all that the Lord had 

\ given him in commandment unto them ; 

I 4 After he had slain 

\ Amorites, which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the 

I king of Bashan, which dwelt at 'Astaroth in Edrei : ^^"'"- -'» 

\ 5 On this side Jordan, in the land of Moab,

16 And I charged your judges at that time,

and "Judge righteously between every man and 
his brother, and the stranger that is with him. 

17 Ye shall not f respect persons in judgment;

our God doth give unto us. 

21 Behold, the Lord thy God hath set the 
land before thee : go up and, possess it, as the 
Lord God of thy fathers hath said unto thee; 
fear not, neither be discouraged. 

22 And ye came near unto me every one of 
you, and said, We will send men before us, and 
they shall search us out the land, and bring us 
word again by what way we must go up, and 
into what cities we shall come.

33 Who ° went in the way before you, to 
search you out a place to pitch your tents in, in 
fire by night, to shew you by w^iat way ye 
should go, and in a cloud by day. 

34 And the Lord heard the voice of your 
words, and was wroth, and sware, saying, 

35 Surely there shall ^ not one of these men 
of this evil generation see that good land, which 
I sware to give unto your fathers, 

36 Save '' Caleb the son of Jephunneh ; he 
shall see it ; and to him will I give the land that 
he hath trodden upon, and to his children, be- 
cause he hath f wholly followed the Lord. 

37 Also the Lord was angry "^ with me ' for your 
sakes, saying, ' Thou also shalt not go in thither. 

38 But "Joshua the son of Nun, which ''stand- 
eth before thee, he shall go in thither : ^ encou- 
rage him ; for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.

should be '^ a prey, and your children, which in 
that day had no knowledge '^ between good and 
evil, they '' shall go in thither, and unto them 
will I give it, and they shall possess it. 

40 But asfor you, turn ye, and take your journey 
into the wilderness, by ' the way of the Red Sea. 

41 Then ye answered and said unto me. We 
have ^ sinned against the Lord ; we will go up, 
and fight, according to all that the Lord our 
God commanded us. And when ye had girded 
on every man his weapons of war, ye were

you as ^ bees do, and destroyed you in Seir, even

Lord ; but the Lord would " not hearken to 
your voice, nor give ear unto you. 

46 So ye abode in ^ Kadesh many days, ac- 
cording unto the days that ye abode there. 

CHAPTER II. 

1 The story is continued, that they were not to meddle 
with the Edomites, 9 nor with the Moabites, 17 nor 
with the Ammonites. 24 But Sihon the Amorite was 
subdued by them. 

HEN we turned, and took our journey into 
the wilderness, by the way of the Red Sea, 
as the Lord ''spake unto me : and we compass- 
ed ^ mount Seir many days. 

2 And the Lord spake unto me, saying, 

3 Ye have compassed this mountain " long 
enough : turn you northward. 

4 And command thou the people, saying, Yc 

arc to pass through the coast of your "^ brethren ^...^ ^ . „. „_ ^, 

the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir ; and | monites call them ^ Zamzummims ; 
they shall be " afraid of you : take ye ' good heed ^ 21 A people great, and many, an 
unto yourselves therefore : 

5 ^ Meddle not with them ; for I will not give 
you of their land, f no not so much as a foot 
breadth, because I have '' given mount Seir un- 
to Esau for a possession. 

6 Ye shall ' buy meat of them for money, that 
ye may eat ; and ye shall also f buy water of 
them lor money, that ye may drink. 

7 For the Lord tjiy God hath blessed thee in 
all the ^^■orks of thy hand; he''knowelh thy 
walking through this great wilderness : these 
forty years the Lord thy God hath been with 
' thee, thou hast lacked nothing. 

8 And when we " passed by from our bre- 
thren the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, 
through the way of the ])lain from " Elath, and 
from Ezion-gaber, we turned, and passed by the 
way of the wilderness of Moab. 

9 And the Lord said unto me, " Distress not 
the Moabites, neither contend with them in bat- 
tle ; for I ^^■i]I not give thee of their land ybr a 
])ossession, because I have given •* Ar unto the 
children of hot for a possession.

13 Now rise up, said /, and get you over the

14 And the space in which we came from Ka-

Zered, ivas thirty and eight years ; until * all the ' K"'". i, a 
generation of the men of war Avere ^vasted out from 
among the host, as the Lord sware unto them. 

15 For indeed the "hand of the Lord was "J^';;!^'?-^

against them, to destroy them Irom among the 
host, until they Avere consumed. 

16 So it came to pass, Avhen all the men of war 
were consumed and dead from among the people, 

17 That the Lord spake unto me, saying, 

18 Thou art to pass over through Ar, the 
coast of Moab, this day.

the children of " Amnion, distress them not, nor ^g^^"- ^^>

lands to the two tribes and half 23 Moses' prayer to 
enter into the land : 27 He is permitted to see it. 

^ I ^ HEN we turned, and went up the ^ way to 
-*- Bashan : and Og the king of Bashan came 
out against us, he and all his people, to battle at 
Edrei. 

2 And the Lord said unto me, Fear him not : 
for I will deliver him, and all his people, and his 
land, into thy hand ; and thou shalt do unto him 
as thou didst unto Sihon kmg of the Amorites, 
Avhich dwelt at ^ Heshbon. 

3 So the Lord our God delivered into our 
hands Og also, the king of Bashan, and ' all his 
people : and we smote him, until none was left 
to him remaniing.

6 And we utterly destroyed them, as we did f Esther 9, 
unto Sihon king of Heshbon, = utterly destroying g Amos 2, 
the men, women, and children, of every city. "' 

7 But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, 
we took for a prey to ourselves.

of the two kings of the Amorites, the ''land that '^^.^^-136,

unto Mount Hermon ;

12 And this land, which we possessed at that

also possess the land which the Lord your God { 
hath given them beyond Jordan : and then shall ' 
ye return every man unto his possession which 
I have given you. 

21 11 And I commanded ''Joshua at that time, 
saying, Thine eyes have seen all that the Lord 
your God hath done unto these two kings : " so 
shall the Lord do unto all the kingdoms whither 
thou passest. 

22 Ye shall not fear them : for the Lord 1^ 
your God he shall ^ fight for you. !! 

23 And I besought the Lord at that time, \ 
saying, 

24 O Lord God, thou hast ' begun to shew 
thy servant thy greatness, and thy mighty hand : 
for Svhat god is there in heaven or in earth 
that can do according to thy works, and accord- 
ing to tliy t might ? 

25 I pray thee, let me go over, and see the 
^ good land that is beyond Jordan, that *■ goodly 
mountain, and ' Lebanon. 

26 But the Lord ^vas wroth with me '' for 
your sakes, and would not hear me : and the 
Lord said unto me, ' liCt it suffice thee ; speak 
no more unto me of this matter. 

27 Get fhee up into the top of Pisgah, and lift 
up thine eyes westward, and northward, and 
southward, and eastward, and behold it ^\\i\\ 
thine eyes : for thou shalt not go over this Jordan. 

28 Ijut charge || Joshua, and encourage him, 
and strengthen him : for he shall go over before 
this people, and he shall cause them to inherit 
the land which thou shalt see. 

29 So we abode in the valley over 
Beth-peor. 

CHAPTER IV. 

1 An exhortation to obedience. 41 Moses appointeth 
the three cities of refuge on that side Jordan. 

NOW therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the 
statutes and unto the judgments which I 
teach you, for to do ^them, that ye '' may live, |l 
and go in and " possess the land which the Lord |1 
God of your fathers giveth you. 

2 Ye shall "^ not add unto the word Avhich I 
command you, neither shall you diminish aught 
from it, that ye may keep the commandments of 
the Lord your God which I command you. 

3 Your eyes have seen what the Lord did 
because of " Baal-peor : for all the men that 
followed Baal-peor, the Lord thy God hath 
destroyed them from among you. 

4 But ye that did cleave ' unto the Lord your 
God are abve every one of you this day. 

5 Behold, I have taught you statutes, and 
judgments, even as the Lord my God com- 
manded me, that ye should do so in the land 
whither ye go to possess it. 

6 Keep, therefore, and do them : for this is 



against 



your ' wisdom and your understanding in the 
*" sight of the nations, which shall hear all these 
statutes, and say. Surely this great nation is a 
wise and understanding people. 

7 For what nation is there so great, who hath 
God so ' nigh unto them, as the Lord our God 
is in all things that we call upon him ybr ? 

8 And what nation is there so great, that hath 
statutes and judgments so righteous as all this 
law, A^'hich I set before you this day ? 

9 Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy 
soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which 
thine eyes have seen, and lest they ''depart from 
thy heart all the days of thy life ; but ' teach 
them thy sons, and thy sons' sons ; 

10 Specially ""the day that thou stoodest be- 
fore the Lord thy God in Horeb, when the 
Lord said unto me. Gather me the people to- 
gether, and 1 will " make them hear my words, 
that they may learn to fear me all the days that 
they shall live upon the, earth, and that they 
may teach their children. 

1 1 And ye came near, and stood under the 
mountain ; and the mountain " burned with fire 
unto the midst of heaven, with darkness, clouds, 
'' and thick darkness. 

12 And the Lord spake unto you out of the 
midst of the fire : ye heard the voice of the words, 
but saw "^ no similitude ; only ye heard a voice. 

13 And he declared unto you his covenant, 
M'hich he commanded you to perform, even ten 
commandments ; and he wrote them upon two 
tables of "■ stone. 

14 And the Lord commanded me at that 
time to teach you 'statutes and judgments, that 
ye might do them in the land whither ye go 
over to possess it. 

15 Take ye therefore ' good heed unto your- 
selves, (for ye saw " no manner of similitude on 
the day that the Lord spake unto you in Horeb 
out of the midst of the fire,) 

16 Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you 
a graven image, the similitude of any " figure, 
the likeness of male or female ; 

17 The likeness of any ^ beast that is on the 
earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that 
flielh in the air ; 

18 The likeness of any thing that creepeth 
on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is 
in the waters beneath the earth : 

19 And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto hea- 
ven, and when thou seest the " sun, and the moon, 
and the stars, even all the host of heaven, 
shouldest be ^ driven to worship them, and serve 
them, which the J.^ord thy God ^ hath divided 
unto all nations under the whole heaven. 

20 But the Lord hath taken you, and brought 
you forth out of "^ the iron furnace, even out of

42 That the slayer might flee thither, whicli 
should kill his neighbour ' unawares, and hated 
him not in times past ; and that, fleeing unto 
one of these cities, he might live : 

43 Namely, "Bezer in the wilderness, in the m Josh. 20, 
plain country of the Reubenites ; and Ramoth 
in Gilead, of the Gadites ; and Golan in Bashan, 
of the Manassites. 

44 f And this is the law which Moses set 
before the children of Israel : 

45 " These are the testimonies, and the sta- & 19^ 7. " 
tutes, and the judgments, which Moses spake ^ ^ingss, 
unto the children of Israel, after they came forth 
out of Egypt, 

46 On this side Jordan, in the valley over 
against Beth-peor, in the land of Sihon king of 
the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon, M'hom 
Moses and the children of Israel smote, after 
they were come forth out of Egypt :

49 And all the plain on this side Jordan east-

Pprov^G^^' ^^^ ^'^^ land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and 
make a graven image, or the likeness of any

you this day, that ye shall soon utterly ' perish 
from off'the land whereunto you go over Jordan

upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed. 

27 And the Lord shall scatter you among the 
nations, and ye shall be left f few in number 
among the heathen, whither the Lord shall 
lead you. 

28 And there ye shall serve gods, the work

3 An exhortation 



OW these are the commandments, the sta- 
tutes, and the judgments, which the Lord 
your God commanded to teach you, that ye might 
" do them in the land whither ye go f to possess it : 

2 That thou mightest "" fear the Lord thy God, 
to keep all his statutes and his commandments 
which I command thee ; thou, and thy son, and 
thy son's son, all the days of thy life ; and that 
thy days may be " prolonged. 

3 Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do 
it^ that it may be well with thee, and that ye 
may increase mightily, as the Lord God of thy 
fathers hath promised thee, in the land that 
floweth with ^ milk and honey. 

4 " Hear, O Israel : the Lord our God is ^ one 
Lord : 

5 And thou shalt ° love the Lord thy God 
with all thine '' heart, and with all thy soul, and 
with all thy ' might. 

6 And these words, which I command thee 
this day, shall be in thine ^ heart : 

7 And thou shalt f teach them diligently unto 
thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou 
sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by 
the way, and when thou liest down, and when 
thou risest up. 

8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon 
thine hand, and they shall be as ' frontlets be- 
tween thine eyes. 

9 And thou shalt write them upon the " posts 
of thy house, and on thy gates. 

10 And it shall be, when the Lord thy God 
shall have brought thee into the land which he 
sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, 
and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly " ci- 
ties, which thou buildedst not, 

1 1 And houses ° full of all good things, which 
thou filledst not, and wells digged, which thou 
diggedst not, vineyards and olive-trees, which 
thou planted.^t not ; when thou shalt have eaten, 
and be full ; 

12 Then beware lest thou ^ forget the Lord, 
which brousht thee forth out of the land of 
Egypt, from the house of bondage. 

13 Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, and 
' serve him, and shalt ' swear by his name. 

14 Ye shall not 'go after other gods, of the 
gods of the people which are round about you ;

among you,) lest the anger of the Lord thy God 
be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from 
off the face of the earth. 

16 Ye shall " not tempt the Lord your God, 
as ye tempted him in ^ Massah. 

17 You shall ^ diligently keep the command- 
ments of the Lord your God, and his testimo- 
nies, and his statutes, which he hath command- 
ed thee. 

1 8 And thou shalt do that ivhich is ^ right and 
good in the sight of the Lord ; that it maj be 
well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and 
possess the good land which the Lord sware 
unto thy fathers ; 

19 To "^ cast out all thine enemies from before 
thee, as the Lord hath spoken. 

20 Atid when thy son asketh thee in f time to 
come, saying. What mean the testimonies, and 
the statutes, and the judgments, which the Lord 
our God hath ^ commanded you ? 

21 Then thou shalt say unto thy son. We were 
'' Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt ; and the Lord 
brought us out of Egypt with ^ a mighty hand : 

22 And the Lord shewed signs and wonders, 
great and f sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, 
and upon all his household, ^ before our eyes : 

23 And he ^ brought us out from thence, that 
he might bring us in, to give us the land which 
he sware unto our fathers. 

24 And the Lord commanded us to do all 
these statutes, to fear the Lord our God, ^ for 
our good always, that he might preserve us *" alive, 
as it is at this day. 

25 And it shall be ' our righteousness, if we 
observe to do all these commandments before the 
Lord our God, as he hath commanded us. 

CHAPTER VII. 

1 All communion with the nations is forbidden, 4 for fear 
of idolatry, 6 for the holiness of the people, 9 for the 
nature of God in his mercy and justice, 23 for the as- 
suredness of victory which God will give over them. 
HEN the Lord thy God shall bring thee 
into the land whither thou goest to pos- 
sess it, and hath ^ cast out many nations before 
thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the 
Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Periz- 
zites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, ^ seven ''Ex. 33,2 
nations greater and mightier than thou : 

2 And when the Lord thy God shall deliver 
them "^ before thee ; thou shalt smite them, and 
utterly destroy them : thou shalt ^ make no cove- 
naat with them, nor shew mercy unto them : 

3 Neither shalt thou make ' marriages with 
them ; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his 
son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son. 

4 For they will turn away thy son from fol- 
lowing me, that they may serve ' other gods : so 
will the anger of the Lord be ^ kindled against 
jou, and destroy thee suddenly.

5 But thus shall ye deal with them : ye shall 
destroy their altars, and break down their f ima- 
ges, and cut down their '' groves, and burn their 
graven images with fire. 

6 For thou art an ' holy people unto the 
Lord thy God : the Lord thy God hath chosen 
thee to be *" a special people unto himself, above 
all people that are upon the face of the earth. 

7 The Lord did not set his love upon you, 
nor choose you, because ye were more in num- 
ber than any people : for ye ivere the ' fewest 
of all people ; 

8 But because the Lord loved " you, and be- 
cause he would keep the " oath which he had 
sworn unto your fathers, hath the Lord brought 
you out with a mighty liand, and redeemed you 
out of the house of "bondmen, from the hand of 
Pharaoh king of Egypt. 

9 Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he 
is God, the p faithful God, which keepeth cove- 
nant and mercy with them that ^love him and keep 
his commandments, to a thousand generations ; 

10 And repayeth them that hate him to their 
face, to destroy them : he will not be slack to him 
that liatetli liim, he will ■" repay liim to his ' face. 

1 1 Thou shall therefore keep the command- 
ments, and the statutes, and the judgments, ^^•hich ^ 
I command thee this day, to do them.

thee the covenant and the " mercy which he 
'^ sware unto thy fathers :

thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn

CHAPTER IX. 

Moses dissuadeth them from the opinion of their own 
righteousness, by rehearsing their several rebellions. 

HEAR, O Israel ; Thou art to * pass over 
Jordan ^ this day, to go in to possess na- 
tions greater and mightier than thyself, cities 
great, and fenced up to heaven ; 

2 A people great and tall, the children of the 
' Anakims, whom thou knowest, and of whom 



thou hast heard say, ^ Who can stand before the 
children of Anak ! 

3 Understand therefore this day, that the Lord 
thy God is he which ' goeth over before thee ; as 
a *^ consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he 
shall bring them down before thy face : so shalt 
thou drive them out, and destroy them ^ quickly, 
as the Lord hath said unto thee. 

4 Speak not "" thou in thine heart, after that 
the Lord thy God hath cast them out from be- 
fore thee, saying, For ' my righteousness the 
Lord hath brought me in to possess this land ; 
but ^ for the wickedness of these nations the 
Lord doth drive them out from before thee. 

5 Not for thy righteousness, or for the up- 
rightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess 
their land ; but for the wickedness of these na- 
tions the Lord thy God doth drive them out 
from before thee, and that he may ' perform the 
word which the Lord sware unto thy fathers, 
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 

6 Understand therefore that the Lord thy 
God giveth thee not this " good land to possess 
it for thy righteousness ; for thou art " a stiff-

7 ° Remember, and forget not, how tho;] pro- 
vokedst the Lord thy God to wrath in the wil- 
derness : from the day that thou didst depart out 
of the land of Egypt, until ye came unto this 
place, ye have been rebellious against the Lord. 

8 Also in P Horeb ye provoked the Lord to 
wrath, so that the Lord was angry with you, 
to have destroyed you. 

9 When I was gone up into the "^ mount, to re- 
ceive the tables of stone, even the tables of the 
covenant which the Lord made with you, then 
I abode in the mount forty days and forty nights ; 
I ■■ neither did eat bread nor drink water : 

10 And the Lord delivered unto me ^ two 
tables of stone, written with the ' finger of God : 
and on them was written according to all the 
words which the Lord spake with you in the 
mount, out of the midst of the fire in the day of 
the assembly. 

1 \ And it came to pass, at the end of forty days 
and forty nights, that the Lord gave me the two 
tables of stone, even the tables of the " covenant. 

12 And the Lord said unto me, Arise, get 
thee down quickly from hence ; for thy people 
which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have 
^ corrupted themselves: they are ''quickly turned 
aside out of the way which I commanded them ; 
they have made them ^ a molten image. 

13 Furthermore, the Lord spake unto me, 
saying, * I have seen this people, and, behold, it 
is ^ a stifl'-necked people : 

14 ' Let me alone, that I may destroy them, 
and blot out their name from under heaven : and

15 Only the Lord had a "delight in thy fa-

them, even you above all people, as it is this day. 

16 Circumcise therefore the '' foreskin of your 
hearty and be no more stiff-necked. 

17 For the Lord your God is ^God of gods, 
and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and 
a terrible, which ''regardeth not persons, nor 
s taketh reward : 

18 He doth execute the ^judgment of the fa-

were strangers in the land of Egypt.

ing and curse is set before them. 

mUEREFORE thou shalt Move the Lord 
-^ thy God, and keep his '' charge, and his 
statutes, and his judgments, and his command- 
ments, alway. 

2 And know you this day : for / speak not 
with your children which have not known, and 
which have not seen the •= chastisement of the 
Lord your God, his ''greatness, his mighty 
hand, and his stretched-out arm, 

3 And his ^miracles, and his acts which he 
did in the midst of Egypt, unto Pharaoh the 
king of Egypt, and unto all his land ; 

4 And what he did unto the '' army of Egypt, 
unto their horses, and to their chariots ; how he 
made the water of the Red Sea to overflow 
them as they pursued after you, and hoiv the 
Lord hath destroyed them unto this day ; 

5 And what he did unto you in the ^ wilder- 
ness, until ye came into this place ; 

6 And what he did unto ^ Dathan and Abiram, 
the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben : how the 
earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them 
up, and their households, and their tents, and 
all the substance that f was iu their possession, 
in the midst of all Israel : 

7 But 'your eyes have seen all the great acts 
of the Lord which he did. 



8 Therefore shall ye keep all the command- 
ments which I command you this day, that ye 
may ^ be strong, and go hi and ' possess the land 
whither ye go to possess it ; 

9 And that ye may '" prolong your days in the 
land, which the Lord sware unto your fathers 
to give unto them and to their seed, a land that 
floweth with milk and honey. 

10 For the land, whhh'er thou goest in to 
possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from 
v\^hence ye came out, where thou ° sowedst thy 
seed, and wateredst it with thy °foot, as a 
garden of herbs : 

11 But the land, whither ye go to possess it, 
is a land of hills and p valleys, and drinketh 
water of the 'i rain of heaven ; 

12 A land which the Lord thy God f careth 
for : 'the eyes of the Lord thy God are always 
upon it, from the beg:nning of the year even 
unto the end of the year. 

13 And it shall come to pass, if you shall 
' hearken diligently unto my commandments 
which I command you this day, to love the 
Lord your God, and to serve him with all your 
heart, and with all your soul, 

14 That I will give you the rain of your land 
in his due season, the * first rain and the latter 
rain, that thou may est gather in thy " corn, and 
thy wine, and thine oil. 

15 And I will send grass in thy fields for thy 
cattle, that thou mayest ^ eat and be full. 

16 Take heed to yourselves, that your heart 
be not ^ deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve 
other gods, and worship them ; 

17 And then the Lord's wrath be kindled 
against you, and he ^ shut up the heaven, that 
there be no rain, and that the land yield not her 
fruit ; and lest ye ^ perish quickly from off the 
good land which the Lord giveth you. 

18 Therefore shall ye lay up these my words 
in your heart and in your soul, and bind them 
for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as 
frontlets '^ between your eyes. 

19 And ye shall •= teach them your children, 
speaking of them when thou sittest in thine 
house, and when thou ''walkest by the way, 
when thou liest down, and when thou risest up., 

20 And thou shalt write them upon the "= door- 
posts of thine house, and upon thy gates ; 

21 That your ^ days may be multiplied, and 
the days of your children, in the land which the 
Lord sware unto your fathers to give them, as 
the days of heaven upon the earth. 

22 For if ye shall diligently ^ keep all these 
commandments which I command you, to do 
them, to love the Lord your God, to walk in all 
his ways, and to ^ cleave unto him ; 

23 Then will the Lord ' drive out all these

I will eat flesh, (because thy soul 
eat flesh,) thou may est eat flesh,

21 If the place which the Lord thy God hath

thee, then thou shalt kill of thy herd and of thy 
flock, which the Lord hath given thee, as I 
have commanded thee, and thou shalt eat in thy 
gates whatsoever thy soul lusteth after. 

22 Even as the " roebuck and the hart is 
eaten, so thou shalt eat them ; the unclean and 
the clean shall eat q/them alike. 

23 Only be sure that thou " eat not the blood : 
for the blood is the life ; and thou mayest not 
eat the life with the flesh. 

24 Thou shalt not eat it ; thou shalt pour it 
upon the earth as water. 

25 Thou shalt not eat it ; that it may " go

4 Ye shall walk after the Lord your God, 
and fear him, and keep his commandments, and

to turn you away from the Lord your God, 
which brought you out of the land of Egypt, 
and redeemed you out of the house of bondage,

tween " plea and plea, and between stroke and 
stroke, hein.g '' matters of controversy within thy 
gates ; then shalt thou arise, and get thee up into 
the place which the Lord thy God shall choose ; 

9 And thou shalt come unto the "* priests the 
Levites, and unto the judge that shall be in those 
days, and inquire ; and they shall shew thee the 
sentence of judgment : 

10 And thou shalt do according to the sentence, 
which they of that place which the Lord shall 
choose shall shew thee ; and thou shalt observe 
to do according to all that they "^ inform thee. 

11 'According to the sentence of the law 
which they shall teach thee, and according to 
the judgment which they shall tell thee, thou 
shalt do : thou shalt not decline from the sen- 
tence which they shall shew thee, to the right 
hand nor to the left. 

12 And the man that will do ' presumptuous- 
ly, and will " not hearken unto the priest that 
" standeth to minister there before the Lord thj^ 
God, or unto the judge, even that man shall 
^ die : and thou shalt put away the evil from 

srael. 

13 And all the people shall hear, and fear, and 
do no more presumptuously. 

14 H When thou art come unto the land which 
the Lord thy God giveth thee, and shalt possess 
it, and shalt dwell therein, and shalt say, I will 
[[ set a king over me, like as all the nations that 
are about me ; 

15 Thou shalt in any wise set him ^ king over 
thee whom the Lord ''thy God shall choose: 
one from among thy ^ brethren shalt thou set 
king over thee : thou mayest not set a " stranger 
over thee, which is not thy brother. 

16 But he shall ^ not multiply horses to him- 
self, nor cause the people to return to ^ Egypt, 
to the end that he should multiply horses : for- 
asmuch as the Lord hath said unto you, Ye shall 
hencefortli '^ return no more that way. 

17 Neither shall he ^multiply wives to him- 
self, that his ^ heart turn not away : neither shall 
he greatly multiply to himself ' silver and gold. 

1 8 And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the 
throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a 
^ copy of this law in a book out of that v)hich is 
before the priests the Levites : 

19 And 'it shall be with him, and he shall 
" read therein all the days of his life : that he may 
learn to fear the Lord his God, to keep all the 
words of this law and these statutes, to do 
them : 

20 That his heart be " not lifted up above his 
brethren, and that he turn not aside from the com- 
mandment, to the right hand, or to the left : to the 
end that he may prolong his days in his king- 
dom, he, and his children, in the midst of Israel. 



CHAPTER XVIII. 

1 The Lord is the priests' and Levites' inheritance. 3 
The priest's due. 8 The Levites' portion. 9 The abo- 
minations of the nations arc to be avoided. 15 Christ 
the prophet is to be heard. 20 The presumptuous 
prophet is to die. 

rilHE priests the Levites, and all the tribe of 
-^ Levi, shall have " no part nor '' iniieritance 

with Israel : they shall eat the offerings of the 

Lord " made by fire, and his inheritance. 

2 Therefore shall they have no inheritance 
among their brethren : the Lord is their inherit- 
ance, as he hath said unto them. 

3 And this shall be the priest's due from the pvo- 
ple, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether it be 
ox or sheep ; and they shall give unto the priest 
the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw. 

4 The "^ iirst-fruit also of thy corn, of thy wine, 
and of thy oil, and the first of the fleece of thy 
sheep, shalt thou give him. 

5 ' For the Lord thy God hath i^hosen him 
out of all thy tribes, to stand to minister in the 
name of the Lord, him and his sons for ever. 

6 And if a Levite come from any of thy gates 
out of all Israel, where he ' sojourned, and come 
with all the desire of his mind unto the place 
which the Lord shall ^ choose ; 

7 Then he shall minister in the name of the 
Lord his God, ^ as all his brethren the Levites 
do, which stand there before the Lord. 

8 They shall have like portions to eat, besides 
t that which cometh of the sale of his patrimony. 

9 II When thou art come into the land which 
the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not 
learn to do after the abominations of those nations. 

10 There shall not be found among you any 
one that maketh his son or his daughter to 'pass 
through the fire, or that '' useth divination, or an 
' observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, 

11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar 
spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. 

12 For all that do these things are an abomi- 
nation unto the Lord : and because of these 
abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them 
out from before thee. 

13 Thou shalt be "" perfect with the Lord 
thy God. 

14 For these nations, Avhich thou shalt pos- 
sess, hearkened unto observers of times, and un- 
to diviners : but as for thee, the Lord thy God 
hath ° not suffered thee so to do. 

1 6 1[ The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee 
" a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy '' bre- 
thren, "^ like unto me ; unto 'him ye shall hearken ; 

16 According to all that thou desiredst of the 
Lord thy God in ' Horeb, in the day of the 'as- 
sembly, saying. Let me not hear again the voice 
of the Lord my God, neither let me see this 
great fire any more, that I die not.

CHAPTER XXIX. 

2 Moses exhorteth them to obedience, by the memory of 
the works they have seen. 10 All are presented be- 
fore the Lord to enter into his covenant. 20 The 
great wrath on him that flattereth himself in his wick- 
edness. 29 Secret things belong unto God. 

THESE are the words of the covenant, which 
the Lord commanded Moses to make 
with the children of Israel in the land of ""Moab, 
beside the covenant which he made with them 
in '' Horeb. 

2 \ And Moses called unto all Israel, and 
said unto them. Ye have " seen all that the 
Lord did before your eyes in the land of Egypt 
unto Pharaoh, and unto all his servants, and 
unto all his land ; 

3 The great '^ temptations which thine eyes 
have seen, the signs, and those great miracles : 

4 Yet the Lord hath " not given you an heart 
to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, Ezek. 36, 
unto this day. 

5 And I have led you forty years in the wil- 
derness : your clothes are not waxen old ^ upon 
you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot. 

6 Ye have not eaten ° bread, neither have 
you drunk ^ wine or strong drink : that ye might 
know that I am the Lord your God. 

7 And when ye came unto this place, ' Sihon i,^"'"-2i, 
the king of Heshbon, and Og the king of Ba- 

shan, came out against us unto battle, and we 
smote them : 

8 And we took their land, and gave it for an 
inheritance unto the '' Reubenites, and to the 
Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh. 

9 Keep therefore the words of this covenant, 
and do them, that ye may ' prosper in all that ye do. 

10 Ye stand this day all of you before the 
Lord your God ; your captains of your tribes, 
your elders, and your officers, with all the men " 
of Israel, 

11 Your little ones, your wives, and thy 

"" stranger that is in thy camp, from the " hewer m Ex. n,

top of Pisgah, that is over against Jericho. 
And the Lord " shewed him all the land of 
Gilead, unto Dan, 

2 And all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim, 
and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, unto 
the utmost sea. 

3 And the south, and the plain of the valley 
of Jericho, the city of palm-trees, unto Zoar. 

4 And the Lord said unto him. This is ^ the 
land which ^ I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, 
and unto Jacob, saying, I will give it unto thy 
seed : I have caused thee to ^ see it with thine 
eyes, but thou shalt ^ not go over thither. 

5 So Moses the *" servant of the Lord ' died 
there in the land of Moab, according to the word 
of the Lord. 



6 And '' he buried him in a valley in the land 
of Moab, over against Beth-peor : but ' no man 
knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day. 

7 And Moses was an hundred and twenty 
years old when he died : his "" eye was not dim, 
nor his natural force abated. 

8 And the children of Israel wept for Moses 
in the plains of Moab ° thirty days : so the days 
of weeping and mourning for Moses were ended. 

9 And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the 
° spirit of wisdom ; for Moses had Maid his hands 
upon him : and the children of Israel hearkened 
unto him, and did as the Lord commanded 
Moses. 

10 And there arose not a prophet since in Is- 
rael like unto Moses, whom the Lord knew 
'' face to face, 

1 1 In all the signs and the wonders which the 
Lord sent him to do in the land of Egypt to Pha- 
raoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land, 

12 And in all that mighty hand, and in all 
the ""great terror which Moses shewed in the 
sight of all Israel.

CHAPTER I. 

The Lord appointeth Joshua to succeed Moses. 3 The 
borders of the promised land. 5, 9 God promiseth to 
assist Joshua. 8 He giveth him instructions. 10 He 
prepareth the people to pass over Jordan. 12 Joshua 
putteth the two tribes and half in mind of their promi- 
ses to Moses. 16 They promise him fealty. 

O W after the death of Moses " the servant 
of the Lord, it came to pass, that the Lord 
^ spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' mi- 
nister, saying, 

2 Moses my servant is dead ; now therefore 
arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this peo- 
ple, unto the land which " I do give to them, 
even to the children of Israel. 

3 Every place that the sole of your foot shall 
tread upon, that have I given unto you, '^ as I 
said unLo Moses. 

4 From the * wilderness and this ^ Lebanon, 
even unto the great river, the river ^ Euphrates, 
all the land of the Hittites, and unto the ^ great 
sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be 
your coast. 

5 There shall not any man be able to stand 
t before thee all the days of thy life : as I was 
with Moses, so I will be with thee : I will ' not 
fail thee, nor forsake thee. 

t> '' Be strong and of a good courage ; for 
unto this people shalt thou divide for an inherit- 
ance the land, ''which 1 sware unto their fathers 
to give them. 



7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, 
that thou mayest observe to do according to ' all 
the law which Moses my servant commanded 
ther : turn not from it to " the right hand or to 
the left, that thou mayest || prosper whitherso- 
ever thou goest. 

8 This book of the law shall not depart out 
of " thy mouth ; but thou shalt ° meditate therein 
day and night, that thou mayest observe to do 
according to all that is written therein : for then 
thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then 
thou shalt have good success. 

9 '' Have not I commanded thee ? Be strong 
and of a good courage ; be not afraid, neither be 
thou dismayed : "^ for the Lord thy God is Math 
thee whithersoever thou goest. 

10 H 'Then Joshua commanded the officers 
of the people, saying, 

1 1 Pass through the host, and command the 
people, saying, ' Prepare your victuals ; for with- 
in three days ye shall pass over this Jordan, to 
go in to possess the land, which the Lord your 
God giveth you to possess it. 

12 And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, 
and to half the tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, 
saying, 

13 Remember the word which Moses the ser- 
vant of the Lord commanded you, saying. The 
Lord your God hath given you rest, and hath 
given you this land.

CHAPTER n. 

1 Rahab receiveth and concealeth the two spies sent from 
Shittim : 8 The covenant between her and them : 23 
Their return and relation. 

AND Joshua the son of Nun sent out of * Shit- 
tim tu o men to spy f secretly, saying. Go 
\\g\\ the land, even Jericho. And they went, 
and came into ^ an harlot's house, named Rahab, 
and lodged there. 

2 And " it was told the king of Jericho, saying. 
Behold, there came men in hither to-night of the 
children of Israel, to search out the country. 

3 And the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab, 
saying, "* Bring forth the men that are come to 
thee, which are entered into thine house : for 
they be come to search out all the country. 

4 And the A\'oman took the two men, and ^ hid 
them, and said thus, There came men unto me, 
but ' I wi.st not ^vhence they xcere : 

5 And it came to pass, about the time of shut- 
ting of the gate, when it was dark, that the 
men went out : whither the men went I wot 
not : ' pursue after them quickly ; for ye shall 
overtake them. 

6 But she had brought them up to the ""roof 
of the house, and hid them ^vith the ' stalks of 
flax, which she had laid in order upon the roof. 

7 And the men pursued after them the way 
to Jordan, unto the fords : and as soon as they 
"hich pursued after them were gone out, they 
*■ shut the gate. 

8 And before they were laid down, she came 
up unto them upon the roof ; 

9 And she said unto the men, ' I know that 
the Lord hath given you the land, and that your 



habitants of the land f f^ii^t because of you 

10 For we have " heard how the Lord ° dried 
up the water of the Red Sea for you, ■\^'hen }e 
came out of Egypt ; and what ye did unto the 
p two kings of the Amorites that icere on the 
other side Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye 
utterly destroyed. 

1 1 And as soon as we had heard these things, 
our hearts did melt, neither did there f remain 
any more courage in any man, because of you : 
for the Lord your God, he is God in heaven 
above, and in earth beneath. 

12 Now therefore, I pray you, swear unto me 
by the Lord, '' since 1 have shewed you kind- 
ness, that ye will also shew kindness unto my 
' father's house, and give me a true token : 

13 And that ye will save alive my father, and 
my mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and 
all that thev have, and deliver our lives from death. 

14 And the men answered her, f Our life for 
yours, if ye utter not this our business. And it 
shall be, when the Lord hath given us the land, 
that we will ' deal kindly and truly with thee. 

15 Then she ' let them down by a cord through 
the window : for her house was upon the town 
wall, and she dwelt upon the wall. 

16 And " she said unto them, Get you to the 
mountain, lest the pursuers meet you ; and hide 
yourselves there three days, until the pursuers be 
returned : and afterward may ye go your ^vay. 

17 And the men said unto her, AVe icill be 
^ blameless of this thine oath ^a Inch thou hast 
made us swear. 

18 Behold, ichen wc come into the land, thou 
shalt bind this line of scarlet thread in the win- 
dow ^vhich thou didst let us down by ; and thou 
shalt f bring thy father and thy mother, and thy 
brethren, and all thy father's household, home 
unto thee.

lodged there before they passed over. 

2 And it came to pass, after ^ three days, that

6 And Joshua spake unto the priests, saying, 
' Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass over

8 And thou shalt command the priests that

23 And the young men that were spies went 
in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and 
her mother, and her brethren, and all that she 
had ; and they brought out all her kindred, and 
left them ^ Avithout the camp of Israel. 

24 And they " burnt the city with fire, and all 
that ivas therein : only the silver, and the gold, 
and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put 
into the treasury of the house of the Lord. 

25 And Joshua ^ saved Rahab the harlot alive, 
and her father's household, and all that she had ; 
and she " dwelleth in Israel even unto this day ; 
because she hid the messengers which Joshua 
sent to spy out Jericho. 

26 And Joshua adjured the77i at that tim.e, say- 
ing, Cursed be the man before the Lord that 
riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho : he shall 
lay the foundation thereof in '^ his first-born, and 
in his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it. 

27 So the Lord was with Joshua ; and his 
' fame was noised throughout all the country. 

CHAPTER VII. 

5 The Israelites <ire smitten at Ai. 6 Joshua's com- 
plaint. 10 God instructeth him what to do. 18 Achan 
is taken by lot : 20 His confession : 25 lie and all he 
had are destroyed in the valley of Achor. 

BUT the " children of Israel committed a 
trespass in the accursed thing : for iVchan, 
the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of 
Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accurs- 
ed thing : and the ^ anger of the Lord was 
kindled against the children of Israel. 

2 And Joshua sent men from Jericho to " Ai, 
which is beside '^ Beth-aven, on the east side of 
Beth-el, and spake unto them, saying, (So up 
and ■■ view the country. And the men went up 
and viewed Ai. 

3 And they returned to Joshua, and said unto 
him, Let not all the people go up ; but let about 
two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai ; 
and make not all the people to labour thither ; 
for they are but few. 

4 So there went up thither of the people 
about three thousand men: and they fled ^be- 
fore the men of Ai. 

5 And the men of Ai smote of them about 
thirty and six men : for they chased them fro)n 
before the gate eren unto Shebarim, and smote 
them in the going down ; wherefore the hearts 
of the people ° melted, and became as water. 

6 And Joshua '' rent his clothes, and fell to 
the earth upon his face ' before the ark of the 
Lord until the even-tide, he and the '' elders of 
Israel, and ' put dust upon their heads. 

7 And Joshua said, Alas! O Lord God, 
'" wherefore hast thou at ail brought this people 
over Jordan, " to deliver us into the hand of the 
Amorites, to destroy us ? Would to God we had 



been content, and dwelt on the other side Jordan ! 

8 t O Lord, ° what shall I say, f when Is- 
rael turneth their backs before their enemies! 

9 For the Canaanites, and all the inhabitants 
of the land shall hear of it, and shall environ us 
around, and '' cut off our name from the earth : 
and "• what wilt thou do unto thy great name r 

10 And the Lord said unto Joshua," Get thee 
up ; wherefore ' liest thou thus upon thy face ? 

11 ' Israel hath sinned, and they have also 
transgressed " my covenant which I commanded 
them : for they have even taken of the accursed 
thing, and have also " stolen, and dissembled 
also, and they have ^ put it even among their 
own stuff. 

12 Therefore the children of Israel "- could 
not stand before their enemies, but turned their 
backs before their enemies, because they were 
accursed : neither will I be with you any more, 
except ye destroy the accursed from among you. 

13 Up, "sanctify the people, and say. Sanctify 
yourselves against to-morrow : for thus saith the 
Lord God of Israel, There is an accursed thing 
in the midst of thee, O Israel : thou canst not 
stand before thine enemies, until ye take away 
the accursed thing from among you. 

14 In the morning therefore ye shall be brought 
according to your tribes : and it shall be, that the 
tribe which the Lord '' taketh shall come accord- 
ing to the families thereof; and the family which 
the Lord shall take shall come by households ; 
and the household which the Lord shall take 
shall come man by man. 

15 And it shall be, that he that is " taken with 
the accursed thing shall be "^ burnt with fire, he 
and all that he hath ; because he hath transgress- 
ed the covenant of the Lord, and because he 
hath wrought folly ' in Israel. 

16 So Joshua 'rose up early in the morning, 
and brought Israel by their tribes ; and the tribe 
of Judah was taken : 

17 And he brought the family of ^ Judah ; and 
he took the family of the Zarhites: and he 
brought the family of the Zarhites man by man ; 
and Zabdi was taken : 

1 8 And he brought his household man by man ; 
and Achan, the son of C;umi, the son of Zabdi, 
the .son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken. 

1 9 And Joshua said unto Achan, '' My son, give, 
I pray thee, ' glory to the Lord God of Israel, 
and '' make confession unto him ; and tell me 
now Avhat thou hast done ; hide it not from me. 

20 And Achan answered Joshua, and said. 
Indeed I have sinned against the Lord God of 
Israel, and thus and thus have I done : 

21 When I ' saw among the spoils a goodly 
t Babylonish garment, and two hundred shekels 
of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels

and, behold, they are " hid in the earth in the 
midst of my tent, and the silver under it. 

22 So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran 
unto the tent ; and, behold, it loas hid in his 
° tent, and the silver under it. 

23 And they took them out of the midst of 
the tent, and brought them unto Joshua, and 
unto all the ehildren of Israel, and f laid them 
out before the Lord. 

24 And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took 
Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the 
garment, and the f wedge of gold, and his '^ sons, 
and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, 
and his sheep, and his tent, and "• all that he 
had : and they brought them unto the valley of 
Achor. 

25 And Joshua said. Why hast thou ^ troubled 
us ? the Lord shall trouble thee this day. And all 
Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them 
with fire after they had stoned theai with stones. 

26 And they raised over him a great ' heap of 
stones unto this day. * So the Lord turned from 
the fierceness of his anger. Wherefore the 
name of that place was called. The valley of 
[| Achor, unto this day. 

CHAPTER VIII. 

1 God encourageth Joshua. 3 The stratagem whereby 
Ai was taken. 29 The king thereof is hanged. 30 
Joshua buildeth an altar, 32 writeth the law on stones, 
34 propound eth blessings and cursings. 

ND the Lord said unto Joshua, " Fear not, 

neither be thou dismayed: ''take all the 

people of war with thee, and arise, go up to Ai : 

see, " I have given into thy hand the king of Ai, 

and his people, and his city, and his land. 

2 And thou shalt do to Ai and her ' 
{I <ii. 6, 21. thou didst unto ^ Jericho and her king : only the 

° spoil thereof, and the cattle thereof, shall ye 
take for a prey unto yourselves: lay thee an 
ambush for the city ^ behind it. 

3 So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, 
to go up against Ai : and Joshua chose out "thirty 
thousand mighty men of valour, and sent them 
away '' by night. 

4 And he commanded them, saying. Behold, 
ye shall lie || in wait against the city, even be- 
hind the city : go not very far from the city, but 
be ye all ready : 

5 And 1, and all the people that are with me, 
will approach unto the city : and it shall come to 
pass, when they come out against us, as at the 
first, that we will ' flee before them, 

6 (For they will come out after us,) till we 
have t drawn them from the city : for they ^ will 
say, They flee before us, as at the first : there- 
fore we will flee before them.

9 Joshua therefore sent them forth : and they 
went to lie in ambush, and abode between Beth-el 
and Ai, on the west side of Ai : but Joshua 
lodged that night among the people. 

10 And Joshua rose up "" early in the morning, ™ ^^- ^°''

the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai. 

1 1 And all the people, even the people of war 
that ivere with him, went up, and drew nigh, and 
came before the city, and pitched on the north 
side of Ai : now there was a valley between 
them and Ai. 

12 And he took about five thousand men, and 
set them to lie hi ambush between Beth-el and 
Ai, on the west side of the city. 

13 And when they had set the people, even 
all the host that v)as on the north of the city, and 
their f liers in wait on the west of the city, Joshua 
went that night into the midst of the valley. 

14 And it came to pass, when the king of Ai 
saw it, that they hasted and rose up early, and 
the men of the city went out against Israel to 
battle, he and all his people, at a time appoint-

City of Ai taken and destroyed. CHAPTER IX- 

the ambush had taken the city, and that the 
smoke of the city ascended, then they turned 
again, and slew the men of Ai. 

22 And the other issued out of the city 
against them ; so they were in the midst of Is- 
rael, some on this side, and some on that side : 
and they smote them, so that they let ' none of 
them remain to escape. 

23 And tlie " king of Ai they took alive, and 
brought him to Joshua. 

24 And it came to pass, when Israel had made 
an end of slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the j A ND

them, and when they were all fallen on the 
edge of the sword, until they were consumed, 
that all the Israelites returned unto Ai, and 
smote it with the f edge of the sword. 

25 And so it was, that all that fell that day, 
both of men and women, luere twelve thousand, 
even all the men of Ai. 

26 For Joshua " drew not his hand back, 
wherewith he stretched out the spear, until he 
had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai. 

27 Only the cattle and the spoil of that city, 
Israel ^ took for a prey unto themselves, ac- 
cordiiiir unto the word of the Lord, which he 
commanded Joshua. 

28 And Joshua burnt Ai, and made it an heap 
"^ for ever, even a desolation, unto this day. 

29 And the king of Ai he " hanged on a tree 
until even-tide : and as soon as the sun was 
down, Joshua commanded that they should take 
his carcass down from the tree, and cast it at 
the entering; of the gate of the city, and raise 
thereon a "" great heap of stones, that remaineth 
unto this day. 

30 11 Then Joshua " built an altar unto the 
Lord God of Israel in '' mount Ebal, 

31 As Moses the servant of the Lord com- 
manded the children of Israel, as it is written in 
the book of the law of Moses, An altar of '■' whole 
stones, over which no man liath lifted up any 
iron : and they offered thereon ^ burnt-offerings 
unto the Lord, and sacrificed = peace-offerings. 

32 And he wrote there '' upon the stones 'a 
copy of the law of Moses, which he wrote in the 
presence of tjic children of Israel. 

23 And all Israel, and their elders, and offi- 
cei's, and their judges, stood on this side the ark 
and on that side, before the priests the Levites, 
which hare the ark of the covenant of the Lord, 
as well the stranger as he that Avas born among 
them : half of them over against mount '' Gerizim ; 
and half of them over against mount Eljal ; as

23 Now therefore ye are ^ cursed ; and there

all the inhabitants of the land from before you,

before Gibeon, and made war against it. 

6 And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua 
to the camp at Gilgal, saying. Slack not thy 
hand from thy servants ; come up to us quickly, 
and save us, and help us : for all the kings of 
the Amorites that dwell in the mountains are 
gathered together against us. 

7 So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he, and 
all the people of war wdth him, and all the 
mighty men of valour. 

8 And the Lord said unto Joshua, ' Fear them 
not ; for I have delivered them into thine hand : 
there shall not a man of them stand before thee. 

9 Joshua therefore came unto them suddenly, 
and went up from Gilgal all night. 

10 And the Lord discomfited them before 
Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at 
Gibeon, and chased them along the way that

day when the Lord delivered up the Amorites 
before the children of Israel, and he said in the 
sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon ; 
and thou. Moon, in the valley of "• Aijalon. 

13 And the 'sim stood still, and the moon 
stayed, until the people had avenged themselves 
upon their enemies. Is not this written in the 
book of 11 Jasher ? So the sun stood still m the 
midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down 
about a whole day. 

14 And there was 'no day like that before it 
or after it, that the Lord hearkened unto the 
voice of a man : for the Lord fought for Israel. 

15 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with 
him, unto the camp to Gilgal. 

16 But 'these five kings fled, and " hid them- 
selves in a cave at Makkedah. 

17 And it was told Joshua, saying. The five 
kings are found hid in a cave at .Makkedah. 

18 And Joshua said, "Roll great stones upon 
the mouth of the cave, and set men by it for to 
keep them : 

19 And stay you not, but pursue after your 
enemies, and f smite the hindmost of them ; suffer 
them not to enter into their cities : for the Lord 
your Gcd hath delivered them into your hand. 

20 And it came to pass, when Joshua and the 
children of Israel had made an end of slaying 
them ^vith a very great slaughter, till they were 
consumed, that the rest ivhich remained of them 
entered into fenced cities. 

21 And all the people returned to the camp 
Jud^' ii'^' ^° Joshua at Makkedah in peace : none ^ moved 

his tonjjue against any of the children of Israel. 

22 Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the 
cave, and bring out those five kings unto me out 
of the cave. 

23 And they did so, and brought forth those 
five kings unto him out of the cave, the king of 
Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jar- 
muth, the kingof Lachish, andihe kingof Eglon. 

24 And it came to pass, when they brought 
out those kings unto Joshua, that Joshua called 
for all the men of Israel, and said unto the cap- 
tains of the men of war which went with him, 
Come near, ^ put your feet upon the necks of 
these kings. And they came near, and put their 
feet upon the necks of them. 

25 And Joshua said unto them. Fear not, nor 
be dismayed, be strong and of good courage : 
for '' thus shall the Lord do to all your enemies 
against whom ye fight. 

26 And afterward Joshua smote them, and 
slew them, and ^ hanged them on five trees : and 
they were hanging upon the trees until th,3 
e'^ening. 

27 And it came to pass at the time of the

and they took them down off the trees, and cast 
them into the cave wherein they had been hid,

by Joshua. 21 The Anakims cut ofi'. 

ND it came to pass, when Jabin king of 
" Hazor had hoard those things, that " he 
sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of 
" Shimron, and to the king of '' Achshaph, 

2 And to the kings that were on the north of 
the mountains, and of the plains south of " Chin- 
neroth, and in the valley, and in the ^ borders of 
Dor on the west, 

3 And to the Canaanite on the east and on 
the west, and to the Amorite, and the Hittite, 
and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the moun- 

i3>ii. tains, and to the Hivite under ^ Hermon, in the 

fl^Gen. 31, l^^^ ^f h MizDch. 

4 And they went out, they and all their hosts 
with them, much people, even ' as the sand that 
is upon the sea-shore in multitude, with horses 
and chariots very many. 

5 And when all these kings were met toge- 
ther, they came and pitched together at the wa- 
ters of Merom, to fight against Israel. 

6 And the Lord said unto Joshua, Be not 
afraid because of them : for to-morrow about 
this time will I deliver them up all slain before 
Israel : thou shalt ''hough their horses, and burn 
their chariots with fire. 

7 So Joshua came, and all the people of war 
wdth him, against them by the waters of Merom 

suddenly ; and they fell upon them. 

8 And the Lord delivered them into the 
hand of Israel, who smote them, and chased 
them unto great " Zidon, and unto || Misre- 
photh-maim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh 
eastward ; and they smote them, until they left 
them none remaining. 

9 And Joshua did unto them as the Lord 
bade him ; he houghed their horses, and ° burnt 
their chariots with fire. 

10 And Joshua at that time turned back, and 
took ° Hazor, and smote the king thereof with 
the sword : for Hazor beforetime was the head 
of all those kingdoms. 

11 And they smote all the souls that were 
therein with the edge of the sword, utterly de

12 And all the cities of those kings, and all christ 
the kings of them, did Joshua take, and smote J-i^o. 
them with the edge of the sword ; and he ut- '-^"v^"^ 
terly destroyed them, •' as Moses the servant of p^Num.ss, 
the Lord commanded. 

13 But as for the cities that stood still in their 
strength, Israel burned none of them, save Hazor 

i only ; that did Joshua burn. 

14 And all "^ the spoil of these cities, and the 
cattle, the children of Israel took for a prey unto 
themselves ; but every man they smote with the 
edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them, 
neither left they any to breathe. 

15 "'As the Lord commanded Moses his ser- 
vant, so did Moses command Joshua, and so did i^eut. 7, 2. 
Joshua ; he left nothing undone of all that the 
Lord commanded Moses. 

16 So Joshua took all that land, the hills, and 
all the south country, and all the land of ' Go- ^eh. io,4i 
shen, and the valley, and the plain, and the 
mountain of Israel, and the valley of the same ; 

17 Even from the || mount Halak, that goeth 
up to Seir, unto Baal-gad, in the valley of Leba- 
non, unto mount Hermon : and all their kings 
he took, and smote them, and slew them. 

18 Joshua made war |] a 
those kings. 

19 There was not a city that* made peace 
with the children of Israel, save the Hivites, the 
inhabitants of Gibeon : all other they took in 
battle. 

20 For it was of the Lord to " harden their 
hearts, that they should come against Israel in 
battle, that he might destroy them utterl}', andih^A Rom 
they might have no favour, but that he might 
destroy them, as the Lord commanded Moses. 

21 And at that time came Joshua, and cut 
off the Anakims from the mountains, from He- 
bron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the 
^ mountains of Judah, and from all the mountains Imoslaf 
of Israel : Joshua destroyed them utterly with ^■ 
their cities. 

22 There was none of the Anakims left in the 
land of the children of Israel : only in Gaza, in 
Gath, and in Ashdod, there remained. 

23 So Joshua took the whole land, according 
to all that the Lord said unto Moses ; and Jo- 
shua gave it for an inheritance unto Israel, ^ ac- 
cording to their divisions by their tribes. And 
the land ^ rested from war.

pelled not the Geshurites, nor the Maachathites ; 
but the Geshurites and the Maachathites dwell 
among the Israelites until this day. 

14 Only unto the tribe of Levi he gave none 
inheritance ; the " sacrifices of the Lord God of { 
Israel made by fire are their inheritance, as he ] 
said unto them. \ 

15 And Moses gave unto the tribe of the i 
children of Reuben inheritance according to \ 
their families : \ 

16 And their coast was from ^ Aroer, that is \ 
on the bank of the river Arnon, and the city that 
is in the midst of the river, and all the plain by

20 And "^ Beth-peor, and Ashdoth-pisgah, and 
" Beth-Jeshimoth, 

21 And all the cities of the plain, and all the 
kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, which 

d Num. 32, reigned in Heshbon, whom ** Moses smote with 
the princes of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and 
Zur, and Hur, and Reba, which ivere dukes of 
Sihon, dwelling in the country. 

22 ' Balaam also the son of Beor, the ^sooth- 
sayer, did the children of Israel slay with the 
sword ° among them that were slain by them. 

23 And the border of the children of Reuben 
was Jordan, and the border thereof This was 
the inheritance of the children of Reuben after 
their families, the cities and villages thereof. 

24 And Moses gave inheritance unto the tri^.e 
of Gad,eren unto the children of Gad, according 
to their families : 

25 And their coast was ^ Jazer, and all the ci- 
ties of Gilead, and ' half the land of the children 
of Ammon, unto Aroer that is before ^ Rabbah ; 

26 And from Heshbon unto ' Ramath-mizpeh, 
and Betonim ; and from " Mahanaim unto the 
border of " Debir ; 

27 And in the valley, " Beth-aram, and p Beth- 
nimrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of 
the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, Jordan 
and his border, even unto the edge of the sea of 
Chinneroth, on the other side Jordan eastward. 

28 This is the inheritance of the children of 
Gad after their families, the cities, and their 
villages. 

29 And Moses gave inheritance unto the half , 
tribe of Manasseh : and this was the possession \ 



of the half tribe of the children of Manasseh by 
their families : 

30 And their coast was from Mahanaim, all 
Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, 
and all the towns of "* Jair, which are in Bashan, 
threescore cities ; 

31 And half Gilead, and " Ashtaroth, and 
Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, 
were pertaining unto the children of Machir the 
son of Manasseh, even to the ' one half of the 
children of Machir by their families. 

32 These are the countries which Moses did 
distribute for inheritance in the plains of Moab, 
on the other side Jordan, by Jericho, eastward. 

33 But unto the ' tribe of Levi, Moses gave 
not amj inheritance : the Lord God of Israel 
was their inheritance, as he said unto them. 

CHAPTER XIV. 

1 The nine tribes and an half are to have their inherit- 
ance by lot. 6 Caleb by privilege obtaineth Hebron. 

AND these are the countries which the chil- 
dren of Israel inherited in the land of Ca- 
naan, which ^ Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the 
son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the 
tribes of the children of Israel, distributed for 
inheritance to them. 

2 ^ By lot loas their inheritance, as the Lord 
commanded by the hand of Moses, for the nine 
tribes, and ybr the half tribe. 

3 For Moses had given the inheritance of two 
tribes and an half tribe on the other side Jordan : 
but unto the " Levites he gave none inheritance 
among them. 

4 For the children of Joseph were '^ two tribes, 
Manasseh and Ephraim : therefore they gave no 
part unto the Levites in the land, save " cities to 
dwell in, with their suburbs for their cattle and 
for their substance. 

5 As the Lord commanded Moses, so the chil- 
dren of Israel did, and they divided the land. 

6 H Then the children of ^ Judah came unto 
Joshua in ^ Gilgal : and Caleb the son of Jephun- 
neh the Kenezite said unto him, Thou knowest 
the thing that the Lord said unto Moses the 
^ man of God concerning me and thee in Kadesh- 
barnea. 

7 ' Forty years old was I when Moses the 
servant of the Lord sent me from Kadesh- 
barnea to espy out the land ; and I brought him 
word again as it was in mine heart. 

8 Nevertheless my brethren that went up with 
me made the heart of the people ^ melt : but I 
t wholly followed the Lord my God. 

9 And Moses ' sware on that day, saying, 
Surely the land whereon thy feet have trodden 
shall be thine inheritance, and thy children's 
for ever, because thou hast wholly followed the 
Lord my God.

1 The lot of Manasseh: 7 His coast. 12TheCanaan-

another lot. 

THERE was also ^ a lot for the tribe of B'la- 
nasseh, (for he icas the '' first-born of Jo- 
seph :) to wit, for " Machir the first-born of Ma- 
nasseh, the father of Gilead ; because he was 
■* a man of war, therefore he had ^ Gilead and 
'^Bashan. 

2 There ^vas also a lot for the ^ rest of the 
children of jManasseh by their families ; for the 
children of Abiezer, and for the children of 
Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for 
the children of Shechem, and for the children of 
Hepher, and for the ciiildren of Shemida : these 
were the male children of Manasseh the son of 
Joseph by their families. 

3 But ^ Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the 
son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Ma- 
nasseh, had no sons, but daughters : and these 
are the names of his daughters, Mahlah, and 
Noah, Hoglah, JMilcah, and Tirzah. 

4 And they came near before Eleazar the 
priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and 
before the princes, saying, The Lord com- 
manded Moses to give us an inheiitance among 
our breiliren. Therefore, according to the 
T commandment of the Lord, he gave them an 
inheritance 'among the brethren of their father. 

5 And there fell f ten portions to Manasseh, 
beside the land of Gilead and Bashan, aa hich 
icere on the other side Jordan ; 

6 Because the daughters of Manasseh had an 
inheritance among his sons : and the rest of Ma- 
nasseh's sons had the land of Gilead. 

7 And the coast of Manasseh Avas from Asher 
to '' JMichmethah, that lieth before Shechem ; 
and the border went alons: on the rijrht hand 
unto the inhabitants of En-tappuah.

9 And the coast descended unto the [| river 
Kanah, southward of the river : these cities of 
Ephraim are among the cities of Manasseh : 
the coast of JManasseh also teas on the north 
side of the river, and the out-goings of it were 
at the sea : 

10 Southward it was Ephraim's, and north- 
ward it was Manasseh's, and the sea is his bor- 
der ; and they met together in Asher on the 
north, and in Issachar on the east. 

11 And Manasseh had in Issachar, and in 
A.sher, ""Beth-shean and her towns, and" Ibleam

and they shall be your refuge from the avenger 
of blood. 

4 And when he that doth flee unto one of those 
cities shall " stand at the entering of the gate of 
the city, and shall declare his cause in the ears 
of the elders of that city, they shall f take him 
into the city unto them, and give him a place, 
that he m.ay dwell among them. 

5 And if the avenger of blood pursue after 
him, then they shall not deliver the slayer up 
into his hand ; because he smote his neighbour 
unwittingly, and hated him not beforetime. 

6 And he shall dwell in that city, until he 
stand before the congregation for judgment, and 
^ until the death of the high priest that shall be j 
in those days : then shall the slayer return, and f 

• come unto his own city, and unto his own house, | 
unto the city from whence he fled.

CHAPTER XXIII. 

1 Joshua's exhortation before his death, 3 by former be- 
nefits, 5 by promises, 11 and by threatenings. 
AND it came to pass, f a long time after that 
""the Lord had given rest unto Israel from 
all their enemies round about, that Joshua waxed 
old and stricken in age. 

2 And Joshua ^ called for all Israel, and for 
their elders, and for their heads, and for their 
judges, and for their officers, and said unto them, 
I am old a7id stricken in age : 

3 And ye have " seen all that ^ the Lord your 
God hath done unto all these nations because of 
you : for the Lord your God is he that hath 
fought for you. 

4 Behold, i havedivided unto you by "lot these 
nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your 
tribes, from Jordan, with all the nations that I 
have cut off, even unto the great sea westward. 

5 And the Lord your God, ^ he shall expel 
them from before you, and drive them from out 
of your sight ; and ye shall possess their land, as 
the Lord your God hath promised unto you. 

6 Be ye therefore ° very courageous, to keep 
and to do all that is written in the book of the 
law of Moses, that ye turn not aside therefrom 
to the *■ right hand or to the left ; 

7 That ye ' come not among these nations, 
these that remain among you ; neither '' make 
mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to 
' swear bij them, neither serve them, nor bow 
yourselves unto them : 

8 But '" cleave unto the Lord your God, as 
ye have done unto this day. 

9 For the Lord hath driven out from before you 
great nations and strong : but as for you, no man 
hath been able to stand before you unto this day. 

10 " One man of you shall chase a thousand : 
for the Lord your God, he it is that fighteth 
for you, as he hath promised you. 

1 1 Take good heed therefore unto yourselves, 
that ye love the Lord your God. 

12 Else if ye do in any wise "go back, and 
cleave unto the remnant of these nations, even 
these that remain among you, and shall make 



marriages with them, and go in unto them, and 
they to you : 

13 Know for a certainty that the Lord your 
God will no more drive out any of these na- 
tions from before you ; but they shall be f snares 
and traps unto you, and scourges in your sides, 
and thorns in your eyes, until ye perish from 
off this good land, which the Lord your God 
hath given you. 

14 And, behold, this day I am ^ going the way 
of all the earth : and ye know in all your hearts, 
and in all your soU'S, that '^ not one thing hath 
failed of all the good things which the Lord your 
God spake concerning you ; all are come to pass 
unto you, a7id not one thing hath failed thereof. 

15 Therefore it shall come to pass, that as 
■■ all good things are come upon you, which the 
Lord your God promised you ; so shall the 
Lord bring upon you ' all evil things, until he 
have destroyed you from off this good land 
which the Lord your God hath given you. 

16 When ye have transgressed the covenant 
of the Lord your God, Mhich he commanded 
you, and have gone and served other gods, and 
bowed yourselves to them ; then shall the anger 
of the Lord be kindled against you, and ye shall 
perish quickly from off the flood land which he 
hath given unto you. 

CHAPTER XXIV. 

1 Joshua assembleth the tribes at Shechem. 2 A brief

AND Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel 
to ^Shechem, and called for the elders of 
Israel, and for their heads, and for their Judges, 
and for their officers ; and they presented them- 
selves before God. 

2 And Joshua said unto ^ all the people, Thus 
saith the Lord God of Israel, Your fathers dwelt 
on the other side of the " good in old time, even 
^ Terah the father of Abraham, and the father of 
Nachor : and they ' served other gods. 

3 And ' I took your father Abraham from the 
other side of the flood, and led him throughout 
all the land of Canaan, and = multiplied his seed, 
and ''gave him Isaac. 

4 And I gave unto Isaac, ' Jacob and Esau ; and 
'' I gave unto Esau mount Seir, to possess it : but 
' Jacob and his children went down into Egypt. 

6 " I sent Moses also and Aaron, and I plagued 
Egypt, according to that which I did among 
them : and afterward I brought you out. 

6 And I " brought your fathers out of Egypt : 
and you came unto the sea ; and the Egyptians 
pursued after your fathers with chariots and 
horsemen unto the " Red Sea.

Lord, saying, Who shall go up for us against 
the Canaanites first, to fight against them ? 

2 And the Lord said, " Judah shall go up : 
behold, I have delivered the land into ^ his hand. 

3 And Judah said unto ' Simeon his brother, 
Come up with me into 'my lot, that we may fight 
against the Canaanites ; and I likewise will go 
with thee into = thy lot. So Simeon went with him. 

4 And Judah went up; and the Lord de- 
livered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into 
their hand: and they slew of them m'^Bezek 
ten thousand men. 

5 And they found Adoni-bezek in Bezek ; 
and they fought against him, and they slew the 
Canaanites and the Perizzites. 

6 But Adoni-bezek fted: and they pursued 
after him, and caught him, and ' cut off his 
thumbs and his great toes. 

7 And Adoni-bezek said, ^ Threescore and

toes cut off, gathered their meat under my table : 
' as I have done, so God hath requited me. 
And they brought him to Jerusalem, and there 
he died. 

8 H Now the children of Judah had fought 
against Jerusalem, and had taken it, and smitten 
it with the edge of the sw^ord, and set the city 
on fire. 

9 And "" afterward the children of Judah went 
down to fight against the Canaanites, that dwelt in 
the mountain, and in the south, and in the valley. 

10 And Judah || went against the Canaanites 
that dwelt in Hebron, (now the name of Hebron 
before was Kiijath-arba,) and they slew " She- 
shai, and Ahiman, and Talmai. 

1 1 And from thence he went against the in- 
habitants of Debir ; (and the name of Debir 
before was Kirjath-sepher :) 

12 And Caleb said. He that smiteth Kirjath- 
sepher, and taketh it, ° to him will I give Ach- 
sah my daughter to wife. 

13 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's 
p younger brother, took it : and he gave him 
Achsah his daughter to wife. 

14 And it came to pass, when she came to him, 
that she moved him to ask of her father a field : 



and she lighted from off her ass ; and Caleb said 
unto her. What wilt thou ? 

15 And she said unto him, Give me '' a bless- 
ing : for thou hast given me a south land, give 
me also springs of water. And Caleb gave her 
the upper springs and the nether springs. 

16 H And the children of the "■ Kenite, Moses' 
father-in-law, went up out of the city of palm- 
trees with the children of Judah into the wilder- 
ness of Judah, which lieth in the south of Arad : 
and they went and dwelt among the people. 

17 And Judah went with Simeon his brother, 
and they slew the Canaanites that inhabited 
' Zephath, and utterly destroyed it : (And the 
name of the city was called ' Hormah.) 

18 Also Judah took " Gaza with the coast 
thereof, and Askelon with the coast thereof, and 
Ekron with the coast thereof. 

1 9 And "" the Lord was with Judah, and he 
drave out the inhabitants of the mountain, but 
^ could not drive out the inhabitants of the val- 
ley, because they had "" chariots of iron. 

20 And they gave Hebron unto Caleb, as 
Moses said : and he expelled thence the " three 
sons of Anak. 

21 H And the children of Benjamin did not 
drive out the Jebusites '' that inhabited Jerusa- 
lem ; but the Jebusites dwell with the children 
of Benjamin in Jerusalem unto this day. 

22 1l And the house of Joseph, they also 
went up against Beth-el : and " the Lord vxis 
with them. 

23 And the house of Joseph sent to ^ descry 
Beth-el : (Now the name of the city before ivas 
" Luz.) 

24 And the spies saw a man come forth out 
of the city ; and they said unto him, Shew us, 
we pray thee, the entrance into the city, and 
' we will shew thee mercy. 

25 And when he shewed them the entrance 
into the city, they smote the city with the edge 
of the sword ; but they let go the man and all 
his family. 

26 And the man went into the land of the ^ Hit- 
tites, and built a city, and called the name thereof 
Luz : which is the name thereof unto this day. 

27 1 Neither did Manasseh drive out the 
inhabitants of ^ Beth-shean and her towns, nor 
' Taanach and her towns, nor the inhabitants of 
Dor and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Ib- 
leam and her towns, nor the Inhabitants of Me- 
giddo and her towns : but the Canaanites ''would 
dwell in that land. 

28 And it came to pass, when Israel was 
strong, that they put the Canaanites to ' tribute, 
and t did not utterly drive them out.

Israel reproved at Bochim. JUDGES 

29 Neither did Ephraim drive out the Canaan- 
ites that dwelt in " Gezer ; but the Canaanites 
dwelt in Gezer among them. 

30 Neither did Zebulun drive out the inha- J 
bitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of "Na- i

and became tributaries. 

31 Neither did ° Asher drive out the inhabit-

nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor 
of Aphik, nor of '' Rehob : 

32 But the Asherites ' dwelt among the Ca- 
naanites, the inhabitants of the land ; for thej 
did not drive them out. 

3S Neither did Naphtali drive out the inhabit- 
ants of ' Beth-shemesh, nor the inhabitants of 
Beth-anath ; but he dwelt among the Canaan- 
ites, the inhabitants of the land : nevertheless the 
inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and of Beth-anath 
became tributaries unto them. 

34 H And the Amorites forced the children, 
of Dan into the mountain : for they would not 
suffer them to come down to the valley : 

35 But the Amorites would dwell in ' mount 
Heres in Aijalon, and " in Shaalbim ; yet the

they became tributaries.

God^s anger and pity towards the people. 

K days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders 
\ that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great 
works of the Lord, that he did for Israel. 

8 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the 
Lord, died, being an hundred and ten years old. 

9 And they buried him in the border of his 
inheritance in ^ Timnath-heres, in the mount of yosh.24,

10 And also all that generation were 'gathered ^%"||'^' 
unto their fathers : and there arose another gene-

nor yet the " works which he had done for Israel. 

1 1 And the children of Israel did evil in the

3 H And the children of Israel dwelt among 
the Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and 
Perizzites, and Hivites, and Jebusites : 

6 And they '"took their daughters to be their 
wives, and gave their daughters to their sons,

7 And the children of Israel did evil in the

God, and served Baalim and the groves. 

8 Therefore the anger of the Lord was '' hot 
against Israel, ' and he sold them into the hand 
of Chushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia: 
and the children of Israel served Chushan-risha-

9 And "when the children of Israel cried

21 And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took 
the dagger from his right thigh, and '" thrust it 
into his belly. 

22 And the haft also went in after the blade ; 
and the fat closed upon the blade, so that he 
could not draw the dagger out of his belly ; and 
the II dirt came out. 

23 Then Ehud went forth through the porch, 
and shut the doors of the parlour upon him, and 
locked them. 

24 When he was gone out, his servants came ; 
and when they saw that, behold, the doors of 
the parlour loere locked, they said. Surely he 
^ covereth his feet in his summer chamber. 

25 And they tarried till they were ashamed ; 
and, behold, he opened not the doors of the par- 
lour : therefore they took a key and opened 
them : and, behold, their lord was fallen down 
dead on the earth. 

26 And Ehud escaped while they tarried, and 
passed beyond the quarries, and escaped unto

AND the children of Israel ''again did evil in 
the sight of the Lord, when Ehud was 
dead. 

2 And the Lord '' sold them into the hand of 
" Jabin king of Canaan, that reigned in '' Hazor ; 
the captain of whose host was Sisera, which 
dwelt in " Harosheth of the Gentiles. 

3 And the children of Israel cried unto the 
Lord ; for he had nine hundred chariots of iron : 
and ^twenty years he mightily oppressed the 
children of Israel. 

4 And ^Deborah a prophetess, the wife of 
Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time. 

5 And she dwelt under the palm-tree of De- 
borah, between Ramah and Beth-el in mount 
Ephraim ; and the children of Israel came up to 
her for judgment. 

6 And she sent and called Barak, the son of 
Abinoam, out of '' Kedesh-naphtali, and said 
unto him, ' Hath not the Lord God of Israel 
commanded, saying, ^ Go, and draw toward 
' mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand 
men of the children of Naphtali and of the chil- 
dren of Zebulun ^ 

7 And ■" I will draw unto thee, to the river 
"Kishon, Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, 
with his chariots and his multitude ; and I will 
deliver him into thine hand. 

8 And Barak said unto her, ° If thou wilt go 
with me, then I will go ; but if thou wilt not go 
with me, then I will not go. 

9 And she said, I will surely go with thee : 
notwithstanding the journey that thou takest shall 
not be for thine honour ; for the Lord shall ^ sell 
Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Debo- 
rah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh. 

10 And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali to 
. Kedesh ; and he went up with ten thousand men 

■^ at his feet : and Deborah went up with him. 

1 1 Now Heber the ' Kenite, which was of | 
the children of ' Hobab, the father-in-law of \ 
Moses, had severed himself from the f Kenites, J 



and pitched his tent unto the plain of Zaanaim, 
which is by Kedesh. 

12 And they shewed Sisera that Barak, the 
son of Abinoam, was gone up to mount Tabor. 

13 And Sisera f gathered together all his cha- 
riots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all 
the people that ivere with him, from Harosheth 
of the Gentiles unto the river of Kishon. 

14 And Deborah said unto Barak, Up ; for 
This is the day in which the Lord hath delivered 
Sisera into thine hand : is not the Lord * gone 
out before thee ? So Barak went down from 
mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him. 

15 And the Lord "discomfited Sisera, and 
all his chariots, and all his host, witii the f edge 
of the sword, before Barak ; so that Sisera 
lighted down off his chariot, and fled away on 
his feet. 

16 But Barak pursued after the chariots, and 
after the host, unto Harosheth of the Gentiles : 
and all the host of Sisera fell upon the edge of 
the sword ; and there was not f a man left. 

17 Howbeit, Sisera fled away on his feet to 
the tent of Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite : 
for there was peace between Jabin the king of 
Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite. 

1 8 And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said 
unto him. Turn in, my lord, turn in to me ; fear 
not : and when he had turned in unto her into 
the tent, she covered him with a mantle. 

19 And he said unto her. Give me, I pray 
thee, a little water to drink ; for I am thirsty : 
and she opened a "" bottle of milk, and gave him 
drink, and covered him. 

20 Again he said unto her. Stand in the door 
of the tent ; and it shall be, when any man doth 
come and inquire of thee, and say. Is there any

21 Then Jael, Heber's wife, took ^ a nail of 
the tent, and took an hammer in her hand, and 
went softly unto him, and smote the nail into his 
temples, and fastened it into the ground ; (for he 
was fast asleep, and weary .) so he died. 

22 And, behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael 
came out to meet him, and said unto him. Come, 
and I will shew thee the man whom thou seekest. 
And when he came into her tent, behold, Sisera 
lay dead, and the nail was in his temples. 

23 So " God subdued on that day Jabin the 
king of Canaan before the children of Israel. 

24 And the hand of the children of Isra'el 
t prospered, and prevailed against Jabin the king 
of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin king 
of ^ Canaan.

and sat under an oak which ivas in Ophrah, that 
pertained unto Joash the ° Abi-ezrite : and his 
son Gideon threshed wheat by the wine-press, 
to t hide it from the Midianites. 

12 And the angel of the Lord appeared unto 
him, and said unto him. The Lord is °. with 
thee, thou mighty man of valour 



13 And Gideon said unto him, ^ Oh, my Lord, 
if the Lord be with us, why then is all this be- 
fallen us ? and '' where he all his miracles which 
our fathers told us of, saying. Did not the Lord 
bring us up from Egypt .'' but now the Lord 
hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands 
of the Midianites. 

14 And the Lord '' looked upon him, and 
said. Go in this thv might, and thou shalt save \ 
Israel from the hand of the Midianites : ' have >

16 And the Lord said unto him. Surely I 
will be " with thee, and thou shalt smite the 
Midianites as one man. 



25 And it came to pass the same night, that 
the Lord said unto him. Take thy ^ father's 
young bullock, even the second bullock of seven 
years old, and throw down the altar of Baal that 
thy father hath, and cut down the grove that 
is by it ; 

26 And build an altar unto the Lord thy God 
upon the top of this rock, in the ordered place, 
and take the second bullock, and offer a burnl- 
sacrificc with the wood of the grove which thou 
shalt cut down. 

27 Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, 
and ^ did as the Lord had said unto him : and 
so it was, because he feared his father's house- 
hold, and the men of the city, that he could not 

i do it by day, that he did it by '' night.

host of Israel, and said, "^ Arise ; for the Lord 
hath delivered into your hand the host of Midian. 

16 And he divided the three hundred men into 
three companies, and he put a trumpet in every 
man's hand, with "■ empty pitchers, and ' lamps 
within the pitchers. 

17 And he said unto them. Look on me, and 
do likewise : and, behold, when I come to the 
outside of tke camp, it shall be, that as I do, so 
shall ye do. 

18 When I blow with a trumpet, I and all 
that are with me, then blow ye the trumpets also 
on every side of all the camp, and say, ' The 
sivord of the Lord, and of Gideon. 

19 So Gideon, and the hundred men that 
icere with him, came unto the outside of the 
camp, in the beginning of the " middle watch ; 
and they had but newly set the watch : and they 
blew the trumpets, and " brake the pitchers, that 
ivere in their hands. 

20 And the three companies blew the trum- 
pets, and brake the pitchers, and held the lamps 
in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right 
hands to blow ivithal; and they cried, The sword 
of the Lord, and of Gideon. 

21 And they ^ stood every man in his place 
round about the camp : and all the " host ran, 
and cried, and fled. 

22 And the three hundred blew the trumpets, 
and the '' Lord set every man's sword against 
his fellow, even throughout all the host : and 
the host fled to Beth-shittah in Zererath, and to 
the border of ^ Abel-meholah, unto Tabbath. 

23 And the men of Israel ° gathered themselves 
together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, 
and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after the 
Midianites. 

24 And Gideon sent messengers throughout 
all '' mount Ephraim, saying. Come down against 
the Midianites, and take before them the " waters

2 And he said unto them, What have I done 
now " in comparison of you ? Is not the gleaning 
of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage 
of Abi-ezer ? 

3 "^ God hath delivered into your hands the 
princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb : and what 
was I able to do in comparison of you ? Then 
their anger was abated toward him, when he 
had said that. 

4 And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed 
over, he, and the three hundred men that were 
with him, faint, yet pursuing them. 

5 And he said unto the men of " Succoth, 
Give, I pray you, ^ loaves of bread unto the 
people that follow me ; for they be faint, and I 
am " pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna, kings 
of Midian. 

6 And the princes of Succoth said, Are the 
^ hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thine 
hand, that we should ^ give bread unto thine 
army " 



7 And Gideon said. Therefore, when the 
Lord hath delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into 
mine hand, then I will tear your flesh with the 
thorns of the wilderness and with briers. 

8 And he went up thence to '' Penuel, and 
spake unto them likewise : and the men of Pe- 
nuel answered him as the men of Succoth had 
answered him. 

9 And he spake also unto the men of Penuel, 
saying. When I come again ' in peace, I will 
break down ^ this tower. 

10 Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor, 
and their hosts with them, about fifteen thousand 
mew, all that were left of all the hosts of the chil- 
dren of the east : for there fell 'an hundred and 
twenty thousand " men that drew sword. 

1 1 And Gideon went up by the way of them 
that dwelt in tents, on the east of " Nobah and 
Jogbehah, and smote the host : for the host was 
° secure. 

12 And when Zebah and Zalmunna ^fled, 
he pursued after them, and took the two kings 
of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and discom- 
fited all the host.

21 Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, " Rise 
thou, and fall upon us : for as the man is, so

every man the ear-rings of his prey : (for they 
had golden ' ear-rings, because they loere ^ Ish-

25 And they answered, AVe ^^'ill willingly give

46 And when all the men of the tower of

of the house of the ° god Berith. 

47 And it was told Abimelech that all the men 
of the tower of Shechem were gathered together, t 

48 And Abimelech gat him up to mount PZal- | 
mon, he and all the people that icere with him; 
and Abimelech took an axe in his hand, and cut 
down a bough froin the trees, and took it, and J 
laid it on his shoulder, and said unto the people 
that were with him, AViiat ye have seen f me do, 
make haste, and do as I have done. \ 

49 And all the people likewise cut down eve- \ 
ry man his bough, ai!.d followed Abimelech, and i 
put them to the hold, and set the hold on fire up- ' 
on them ; so that all the men of the tower of 
Shechem died also, about a thousand men and 
women. 

50 Then went Abimelech to '^ Thebez, and 
encamped against Thebez, and took it. 

51 But there was a strong tower within the 
city, and thither fled all the men and women, 
and all they of the city, and shut it to them, and 
gat them up to the top of the tower. 

52 And Abimelech came unto the tower, and 
foufrbt against it, and went hard unto the door 
of the tower to burn it with fire. 

• 53 And a certain "^ woman cast a piece of a 
' millstone upon Abimelech's head, and all to 
break his scull. 

54 Then he called hastily unto the young man 
his 'armour-bearer, and said unto him, Draw 
thy sword, and slay me, that " men say not of > 
me, A woman slew him. And his young man \ 
thrust him through, and he died. |

24 Wilt not thou possess that ^ which Che-

whomsoever the Lord our God shall drive out

25 And now, art thou f any thing better 
than Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? 
did he e\er f strive against Israel, or did he ever 
fight against them, 

26 While Israel dwelt in Heshbon and her 
towns, and in Aroer and her towns, and in all 
the cities that be along by the coasts of Arnon, 
II three hundred years ? why therefore did ye 
not recover them within that time ? 

27 Wherefore I have not simied against thee, 
but thou doest me wrong to war against me : the 
Lord ^ the Judge ''be judge this day between the 
children of Israel and the children of Ammon. 

28 Howbeit the king of the children of Am- 
mon *" hearkened not unto the words of Jephthah 
which he sent him. 

29 Then the Spirit of the Lord || came 
upon Jephthah ; and he passed over Gilead and 
Manasseh, and passed over Mizpeh of Gilead, 
and from Mizpeh of Gilead he passed over nnto 
the children of Ammon. 

30 And Jephthah " vowed a vow unto the 
Lord, and said, If thou shalt without fail de- 
liver the children of Ammon into mine hands, 

31 Then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh 
forth of the doors of my house to meet me, 
when I return in peace from the children of 
Ammon, shall surely || be the Lord's, and I 
will offer it up || for a burnt-oflfering. 

32 So Jephthah passed over unto the children 
of Ammon, to fight against them ; and the 
Lord delivered them into his hands. 

33 And he smote them from "^ Aroer, even till 
thou come to " Minnith, even t\venty cities, and 
unto the plain of the vineyards, with a very 
great slaughter. Thus the children of Ammon 
were subdued before the children of Israel.

house, and, behold, his daughter came out to

feast: 12 His riddle is made known by his wife. ._ 
He spoileth thirty Philistines : 20 His wife is married \ 
to another. < 

AND Samson went down to ^ Timnath, and | 
^ saw a woman in Timnath of the daugh- < 
ters of the Philistines. \ 

2 And he came up and told his father and his | 
mother, and said, 1 have seen a woman in Tim- | 
nath of the dauohters of the Philistines ; now, \ 
therefore, " get her for me to wife. \ 

3 Then his father and his mother said unto \ 
him. Is there never a woman among the daugh- J 
ters of ** thy brethren, or among all my people, \ 
that thou goest to take a wife of ' ihe uncircum- { 
cised Philistines ? And Samson said unto his fa- \ 
ther. Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well. { 

4 But his father and his mother knew not that ] 
it xcas ' of the Lord that he soujrht an occasion l! 
against the Philistines : for = at that time the \ 
Philistines had dominion over Israel. } 

5 Then went Samson down, *" and his father ^ 
and his mother, to Timnath, and came to the J 
vineyards of Timnath : and, behold, f a young | 
lion roared against him. i 

6 And the ' Spirit of the Lord came mightily I 
asam. 17, upon him, and he rent him as he \\ould have rent | 

a kid, and he had ^ nothing in his hand : but he | 
told not his father or his mother what he had * 
done. ' 

7 And he went down, and talked with the | 
woman ; and she pleased Samson well. f 

8 And after a time he returned to ' take her, | 
and he turned aside to see the carcass of the < 
lion ; and, bciiold, there ivas a swarm of bees and \ 
honey in the carcass of the lion. ( 

9 And he took thereof in his hands, and went * 
on eating, and came to his father and mother, J 
and he gave them, and they did eat : but he told < 
not them that he had taken the honey out of the \ 
carcass of the lion. * 

10 So his father went down unto the woman : \ 
and Samson made there a "" feast ; for so used \ 
the younij men to do. 

1 1 And it came to pass, when they saw " him, 
that they brought ° thirty companions to be with 
him.

thy riddle, that we may hear it. 

14 And he said unto them, f Out of the eater 
came forth meat, and out of the 
forth sweetness. And they could 
days expound the riddle. 

15 And it came to pass on the seventh day, 
that they said unto Samson's wife, "^ Entice thy 
husband, that he may declare unto us the riddle, Pr'ov. 16,3.

16 And Samson's wife wept before him, and 

said. Thou dost but 'hate me, and lovest me not : rch. i6, is. 
thou hast put forth a riddle unto the children of 
my people, and hast not told it me. And he said 
unto her. Behold, I have not told it my father 
nor my mother, and shall I tell it thee ? 

17 And she wept before him the seven days, 
while their feast lasted : and it came to pass on 
the seventh day that he told her, because she lay 
sore upon him ; and she told the riddle to the 
children of her people. 

18 And the men of the city said unto him on 
the seventh day, before the sun went down. What 
7.9 sweeter than honey .' and what is stronger 
than a lion ? And he said unto them. If ye had 

not 'plowed \\ith my heifer, ye had not found * *^'<==''' "^^

19 And the Spirit of the Lord came upon him, 

and he went down to ' Ashkel(^and slew thir- '^h. i, is.

change of garments unto them which expounded 
the riddle : and his " anger was kindled, and he "'^''- ^^''•

20 But Samson's wife f wasgiven to his com- +^Heb. le-

of Judah, and delivered to the Philistines : 14 He kill- 
eth them with a jaw-bone. 18 God maketh the foun-

BUT it came to pass within a while after, in 
the time of wheat-harvest, that Samson vi- 
sited his wife with a kid ; and he said, I will * go

would not suffer him to go in.

13 And they spake unto him, saying, No ; but 
we will bind thee fast, and deliver thee into their

they bound him with two new cords, and brought 
him up from the rock.

Beth-lehem-judah. and I go to sojourn where I t 
may find a place. \ 

10 And Micah said unto him, Dwell vrith. me, \ 
and be unto me ^ a father and a priest, and I f 
will give thee ten shekels of silver by the year, \ 
and a suit of apparel, and thy ' victuals. So the 
Levite went in. 

1 1 And the Levite was content to dwell with 
the man : and the 
one of his sons. 

12 And JMicah consecrated the Levite; and 
the young man became his priest, and was in 
the house of Micah. 

13 Then said Micah, "Now know I that the 
Lord will do 
to m]i priest. 

CHAPTER XVIIL 

1 The Daaites send five mea to seek out an inheritance. 
3 At the house of Micah thev consult with Jonathan, 
and are encouraged in their vrav. 7 They search Laish, 
and hring back news of good hope. 1 1 Six hundred 
men are sent to surprise it. 14 In the way they rob 
Micah of his priest and his consecrated things. 27 
They •win Laish, and call it Dan. 30 They set up 
idolatry, wherein Jonathan inheriteth the priesthood. 

N those days there ims * no king in Israel : 
and in those days the tribe of the Danites 
*" sought them an inheritance to dwell in ; for 
unto that day all their inheritance had " not 
fallen unto them amons; the tribes of Israel.

6 And ' the priest said unto them, Go in peace : 
^ before the Lord is your way wherein ye go. 

7 Then the five men departed, and came to

8 And they came unto their brethi-en to Zo-

them, What say ye ? 

9 And they said. Arise, that we may go up

" lay thine hand upon thy mouth, and go with |

better for thee to be a priest unto the house of \ 
one man, or that thou be a priest unto a tribe \ 
and a family in Israel ? A 

20 And the " priest's heart was glad ; and he^ 
took the ephod, and the teraphim, and the graven 
image, and went in the midst of the people. 

21 So they turned and departed, and put the 
little ones, and the cattle, and the carriage, be- 
fore them. 

22 And when they were a good way from the 
house of Micah, the men that icere in the houses 
near to Micah's house were gathered together, 
and overtook the children of Dan. 

23 And they cried unto the children of Dan : 
and they turned their faces, and said unto Mi- 
cah, "What aileth thee, that thou comest with 
such a company ? 

24 And he said. Ye have taken away my gods 
which I made, and the priest, and ye are gone 
away : and ^ what have I more ? and what is 
this that ye say unto me. What aileth thee ? 

25 And the children of Dan said unto him. 
Let not thy voice be heard among us, lest f an- 
gry fellows run upon thee, and thou f lose thy 
life, with the lives of thy household. 

26 And the children of Dan went their way : 
and when Micah saw that they icere too strong 
for him, he turned, and went back unto his house. 

27 And they took the things which Micah had 
made, and the priest which he had, and came 
unto Laish, unto a people that icere at quiet and 
secure : and they smote them with the edge of 
the sword, and burnt the city with fire. 

28 And there loas no deliverer, because it ivas 

^ far from Zidon, and they had no business with \ 
any man ; and it was in the valley that licth by 
* Beth-rehob. And they built a city, and dwelt 
therein. 

29 And they called the name of the city '' Dan, 
after the name of Dan tiieir father, who was 
born unto Israel : howbeit, the name of the city 
was Laish at the first. 

30 And the children of Dan f set up the gra- 
ven image: and Jonathan the son of Gershom, 
the son of Manasseh, he and his sons were priests 
to the tribe of Dan " until the day of the cap- Jl 
tivity of the land.

1 A Levite goeth to Bcth-lehem to fetch home his con- 
cubine. 22 The Gibe;ithites abuse her to death. 29 
Hedividcth her into tweh'e pieces, to send to the tribes. 

A ND it came to pass in those days, when 
-^^ there ivas " no king in Israel, that there ^ 



was a certain Levite sojourning on the side of 
mount Ephraim, who took to him f a concubine 
out of ^ Beth-lehem-judah. 

2 And his concubine played the whore 
" against him, and went away ^ from him unto 
hex father's house to Beth-lehem-judah, and was 
tjiere four whole months. 

3 And her husband arose, and went after her, 
to speak f friendly unto her, a7id to bring her 
again, having his servant with him, and a couple 
of asses : and she brought him into her father's 
house ; and when the father of the damsel saw 
him, he rejoiced to meet him, 

4 And his father-in-law, the damsel's father, 
retained him ; and he abode with him three 
days : so they did ^ eat and drink, and lodged 
there. 

5 And it came to pass on the fourth day, when 
they arose early in the morning, that he rose up 
to depart : and the damsel's father said unto his 
son-in-law, f Comfort thine heart with ^ a mor- 
sel of bread, and afterward go your way. 

6 And they sat down, and did eat and drink both 
of them together : for the damsel's father had 
said unto the man. Be content, I pray thee, and 
tarry all night, and let thine heart f be merry. 

7 And when the man rose up to depart, his 
father-in-law urged him ; therefore he lodged 
there again. 

8 And he arose early in the morning on the 
fifth day to depart : and the damsel's father said. 
Comfort thine heart, I pray thee. And they 
tarried f until after noon, and they did eat both 
of them. 

9 And when the man rose up to depart, he 
and his concubine and his servant, his father-in- 
law, the damsel's father, said unto him. Behold 
now, the day draweth toward evening ; I pray 
you tarry all night : behold, the day groweth to 
an end ; lodge here, that thine heart may be 
merry ; and to-morrow get you early on your 
way, that thou mayest go home. 

10 But the man would not tarry that night, 
but he rose up and departed, and came over 
against ^ Jebus, which is Jerusalem : and there 
ivere with him two asses saddled ; his concubine 
also was with him. 

1 1 And when they luere by Jebus, the day 
was far spent ; and the servant said unto his mas- 
ter. Come, I pray thee, and let us turn in unto 
this city of the '' Jebusites, and lodge in it. 

12 And his master said unto him, We will 
not turn aside hither into the ' city of a stranger, 
that is not of the children of Israel ; we will 
pass over to Gibeah. 

13 And he said unto his servant. Come, and 
let us draw near to one of these places to lodge 
all night, in ^ Gibeah, or ui Ramah.

CHAPTER XXI. 

1 The people bewail the desolation of Benjamin. 8 
By the destruction of Jabesh-gilead they provide them 
four hundred wives. 16 They advise them to surprise 
the virgins that danced at Shiloh. 

OW the men of Israel had ''sworn in ''Miz- 
peh, saying. There shall not any of us give 
his daughter unto Benjamin to wife. 

2 And the people came to the " house of God, 
and abode there till even before God, and lifted 
up their voices, and wept sore ; 

3 And said, O Lord God of Israel, ''why is 
this come to pass in Israel, that there should be 
to-day one tribe lacking in Israel ? 

4 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the 
people rose early, and built there an * altar, and 
offt^red burnt-offerings and peace-offerings.

CHAPTER I. 

I Elimelech driven by famine into Moab, dieth there. 
4 Mahlon and Chilion, having married wives of Moab, 
die also. 6 Naomi returning homeward, 11 dissuad- 
eth her two daughters-in-law from going with her. 14 
Orpali leaveth her, but Ruth with great constancy ac- 
companieth her. 19 They two come to Beth-lehem, 
where they are gladly received. 

NOW it came to pass, in the days when the || 
judges t ruled, that there was ''a famine in 
the land. And a certain man of '' Beth-lehem- 
judah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, 
" he, and his wife, and his two sons. 

■ 2 And the name of the man ivas Elimelech, 
and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name 
of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, ^ Ephrath- 
ites of Beth-lehem-judah. And they came into 
the country of Moab, and continued there. 

3 And Elimelech, Naomi's husband, 'died ; 
and she was left, and her ' two sons. 

4 And ^ they took them wives of the women 
of Moab ; the name of the one was Orpah, and 
the name of the other ^ Ruth : and they dwelled 
there about ' ten years. 

5 And Mahlon and Chilion died also both of 
them ; and the woman was '' left of her two 
sons and her husband. 

6 Then she arose, with her daughters-in-law, } 
that she might return from the country of Moab 
for she had heard in the country of IVIoab how 1' 
that the L rd ' ' 
th(nii " bread. 



had ' visited "' his people in giving 



7 Wherefore "she went forth out of the place !> 
where she ^\'as, and her two daughters-in-law \ 
with her : and ^ they went on the way to return 
unto the land of Judah. 

8 And Naomi said unto her two daughters-in- 
law, Go, return each to her '' mother's house : 
■" the Lord deal kindly with you, as ye have 
dealt ' with the dead, and with me. 

9 The Lord grant you that ye may ' find rest, 1' 
each of you in the house of her husband. Then 
she " kissed them : and they lifted up their voice, > 
and wept. \ 



10 And they said unto her, Surely we will re- 
turn ^ with thee unto thy people. 

1 1 And Naomi said. Turn again, my daugh- 
ters, ^ why will you go with mc .'' are there yet 
any more sons in my womb, that they may be 
your husbands ? 

12 Turn again, my daughters, go yoK.r way , 
for I am ^ too old to have an husband. If I 
should say, I have hope, if\ should have an hus- 
band also to-night, and should also bear sons ; 

13 Would ye tarry for them till they were 
grown ? would ye stay for them from having 
husbands.'' nay, my daughters; for it grieveth' 
me much, for your sakes, that the "^ hand of the 
Lord is gone out against me. 

14 And they lifted up their voice, and wept 
again : and Orpah ^ kissed her mother-in-law, 
" but Ruth clave unto her. 

13 And she said. Behold, ''thy sister-in-law is 
gone back unto her people, and unto ' her gods : 
' return thou after thy sister-in-law. 

16 And Ruth said, ^Entreat me not to leave 
thee, or to return from following after thee : for 
whither thou goest, 1 will go ; and where thou 
lodgest, I will lodge : thy people shall be my 
people, and '' thy God my God. 

17 Where thou diest will I die, and there will 
I be buried : the Lord do so to me, and more 
also, if aught but death part thee and me. 

18 When she saw that she was steadfastly 
minded to go with her, then she ' left speaking 
unto her. 

19 So Hhey two went until they came to 
Beth-lehem. And it came to pass, when they were 
come to ' Beth-lehem, that all the city was moved 
about them ; and they said, "" Is this Naomi ? 

20 And she said unto them. Call me not Na- 
omi, call me Mara : for the Almighty " hath dealt 
very bitterly with me. 

21 I went out full, and the Lord hath brought 
me home again " empty : why then call ye me 
Naomi, seeing the Lord hath ^ testified against 
me, and the Almighty hath afflicted me ?

22 So Naomi, returned, and Ruth the Moabi- | 



tess, her daughter-in-law, with her, which '^ re- 
turned out of the country of Moab : and they 
came to Beth-lehem in the beginning of ' barley- 
harvest. ^ 
CHAPTER H. 

1 Ruth gleaneth in the fiehls of Boaz. 4 Boaz taking 
knowledge of her, 8 sheweth her great favour. 18 
That which she got she carrieth to Naomi. 

ND Naomi had " a kinsman of her hus-

family of Elimelech ; and his name ivas Boaz. 

2 iind Ruth the Moabitess said unto Naomi, 
Let me now go to the field, and *" glean ears of 
corn after him in whose sight I shall find grace. 
And she said unto her. Go, my daughter. 

3 And she went, and came, and gleaned in 
the field after the reapers : and her hap was to 
light on a part of the field belonging unto Boaz, 
who iDtts of the kindred of Elimelech.

and for that thou hast spoken friendly unto thine 
handmaid, ^ though I be not like unto one of thine 
handmaidens. 

14 And Boaz said unto her, ^ At meal-time 
come thou hither, and eat of the bread, and dip 
thy morsel in the vinegar. And she " sat beside 
the reapers : and he reached her parched corn, 
and she did eat, and was " sufficed, and '' left. 

1 5 And when she was risen up to " glean, 
Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let 
her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach 
her not : 

16 And "^ let fall also some of the handfuls of 
purpose for her, and leave them, that she may

6 And the servant that was set over the reap- 
ers answered and said. It is the Moabitish dam- 
sel that ^ came back with Naomi out of the coun- 
try of Moab : 

7 And she said, ^ I pray you, let me glean 
and gather after the reapers among the sheaves : 
so she came, and hath ''continued even from the 
morning until now, that she tarried a little in 
the house. 

8 Then said Boaz unto Ruth, Hearest thou 
not, my ' daughter ? Go not to glean in ^ another 
field, neither go from hence, but abide here fast 
by my ' maidens : 

9 Let thine eyes he on the field that they do 
reap, and go thou after them : have I not charged 
the young men that they shall ""not touch thee ? 
and when thou art athirst," go unto the vessels, and 
drink of that which the young men have drawn. 

10 Then she "fell on her face, and bowed 
herself to the ground, and said unto him. Why 
have I found grace in thine eyes, that thou 
shouldest ^ take knowledge of me, seeing I am

1 1 And Boaz answered and said unto her, It

and put thy ^ raiment upon thee, and get thee 
down to the floor : hut make not thyself known 
unto the man, until he shall have done eating 
and drinking. 

4 And it shall be, when he ' lieth down, that 
'' thou shalt mark the place where he shall lie, 
and thou shalt go in, and uncover his ' feet, and 
lay thee down ; and he will tell thee what thou 
shalt do. 

5 And she said unto her, ■" All that thou say- 
est unto me I will do. 

6 And she went down untc the floor, and did 
according to all that her mother-m-law bade her. 

7 And when Boaz had " eaten and drunk, and 
his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the 
end of the heap of corn : and she came softly, 
and uncovered his feet, and laid her down. 

8 And it came to pass, at midnight, that the 
man w^as afraid, and turned himself; and, be- 
hold, a woman lay at his feet. 

9 And he said. Who art thou ? And she an- 
swered, I am Ruth thine ° handmaid ; spread 
therefore thy || skirt over thine handmaid; for 
thou art a near ^ kinsman. 

10 And he said, *> Blessed 6e thou of the Lord, 
my daughter : for thou hast shewed more kind- 
ness in the "■ latter end than at the beginnmg, in- 
asmuch as thou followedst not ' young men, 
whether poor or rich. 

1 1 And now, my daughter, fear not ; I will 
do to thee all that thou requirest: for all the 
city of my people doth know that thou art a 
'virtuous woman. 

12 And now, it is true that I am thy near kins- 
man : howbeit, there is a kinsman " nearer than I. 

13 Tarry this night, and it shall be in the 
^ morning, that if he will perform unto thee the 
^ part of a kinsman, well ; let him do the kins- 
man's part : but if he will not do the part of a 
kinsman to thee, '' then will I do the part of a 
kinsman to thee, as the Lord liveth : lie down 
until the morning. 

14 And she lay at his feet until the morning; 
and she rose up before one could know another. 
And he said. Let it ^ not be known that a wo- 
man came into the floor. 

15 Also he said. Bring the vail that thou hast 
upon thee, and hold it. And when she held it, 
he measured '' six measures of barley, and laid it 
on her : and she went into the city. 

1 6 And when she came to her mother-in-law, 
she said, Who art thou, my daughter ? And she 
told her all that the man had done to her. 

17 And she said. These six measures of bar- 
ley gave he me ; for he said to me, Go not emp- 
ty unto thy mother-in-law. 

18 Then said she, " Sit still, my daughter, 
until thou know how the matter will fafl : for 



the man will not be in rest, until he have finish- 
ed the thing this day. 

CHAPTER IV. 

1 Boaz calleth into judgment the next kinsman. 6 He 

.. refuseth the redemption according to the manner in 

Israel. 9 Boaz buyeth the inheritance : 10 He mar- 

rieth Ruth : 13 She bearetlkQbed the grandfather of 

David. 18 The generatio.r5|^BjPharez. 

rr^HEN went Boaz up to the ''gate, and sat 
-■- him down there : and, behold, the "" kins- 
man, of whom Boaz spake, came by : unto 
whom he said. Ho, such-a-one ! turn aside, sit 
down here. And he turned aside, and sat down. 

2 And he took " ten men of the elders of the city, 
and said. Sit ye down here. And they "^ sat down. 

3 And he said unto the kinsman, Naomi, that 
is come again out of the country of Moab, " sell- 
eth a parcel of land, which ivas our brother Eli- 
melech's : 

4 And t I thought to advertise thee, saying. 
Buy it before the inliabitants, and ^ before the 
elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem it, 
redeem it ; but if thou wilt not redeem it, then 
tell me, that I may know : for there is none to 
redeem it besides thee ; and I am after thee. 
And he said, I will ° redeem it. 

5 Then said Boaz, AVhat day thou buy est the 
field of the hand of Naomi, thou must buy it 
also of ^ Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the 
dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his 
inheritance. 

6 And the kinsman said, I cannot redeem it for 
myself, ' lest frmar mine own inheritance : redeem 
thou my right to thyself; for I cannot redeem it. 

7 Now this ivas the '' manner in former time 
in Israel, concerning redeeming, and concerning 
changing, for to confirm all things ; A man 
plucked ofl" his shoe, and gave it to his neigh- 
bour : and this was a testimony in Israel. 

8 Therefore the kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy 
it for thee : So he ' drew ofl" his shoe. 

9 And Boaz said unto the elders, and unto all 
the people, Ye are '" witnesses this day that I 
have bought all that ivas Elimelech's, and all 
that ivas Chilion's and Mahlon's, of the hand of 
Naomi. 

10 Moreover, Ruth the Moabitess, the wife 
of Mahlon, have I f purchased to be my wife, to 
raise up the name of the dead upon- his inherit- 
ance, that the name of the dead " be not cut off 
from among his brethren, and from the gate of 
his place : ye are witnesses this day. 

1 1 And all the people that were in the gate, 
and the elders, said. We are witnesses. ° The 
Lord make the woman that is come into thine 
house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did 
build the house of Israel : and do thou worthily 
in Ephratah, and be famous in Beth-lehem :

CHAPTER 1. 

1 Elkanah a Levite, having two wives, worshippeth year- 
ly at Shiloh : 4 He cherisheth Hannah, though barren, 
and provoked by Peninnah. 9 Hannah in grief prayeth 
for a child. 12 Eli first rebuketh her, afterwards 
blesseth her. 19 Hannah having borne Samuel, stayeth 
at home till he be weaned. 24 She presenteth him, 
according to her vow, to the Lord. 

NOW there was a certain man of ^ Rama- 
thaim-zophim, of mount Ephraim, and his 
name ivas Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son 
of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an 
^ Ephrathite : 

2 And he had " two wives ; the name of the 
one was Hannah, and the name of the other 
^ Peninnah : and Peninnah had children, but 
Hannah had " no children. 

3 And this man went up out of his city yearly 
to worship, and to sacrifice unto the Lord of \ 

f Josh. 18, hosts in ^ Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, ;! 
Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of the Lord, |I 
ivere there. ;l 

4 And when the time was that Elkanah ^of- ] 
fered, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all 
her sons and her daughters, ^ portions : 

3 But unto Hannah he gave a worthy por- 
tion : for he ' loved Hannah ; but the Lord had 
^ shut up her womb. 

6 And her ' adversary also provoked her sore, 
for to make her "" fret, because the Lord had 
shut up her womb. 

7 And as he ° did so year by year, when she 
went up to the house of the Lord, so she pro- 
voked her ; therefore she wept, and did not eat. 

8 Then said Elkanah her husband to her, 
Hannah, ° why weepest thou ? and why eatest

thou not ? and why is thy heart grieved ? am not 
I better to thee than ten sons ? 

9 So Hannah rose up, after they had eaten in 
Shiloh, and after they had drunk : (now Eli the 
priest sat upon a seat by a post of the '' temple 
of the Lord :) 

10 And she ivas in bitterness of soul, and 
prayed unto the Lord, and wept sore. 

1 1 And she ''vowed a vow, and said, O Lord 
of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the afflic- 
tion of thine handmaid, and remember me, and 
not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto 
thine handmaid a man child, then I will ' give 
him unto the Lord ' all the days of his life, and 
there shall no ' razor come upon his head. 

12 And it came to pass, as she continued 
praying before the Lord, that Eli "marked her 
mouth. 

13 Now Hannah, she '^ spake in her heart; on- 
ly her lips moved, but her voice was not heard : 
therefore Eh ^thought she had been drunken. 

14 And Eli said unto her. How long wilt 
thou be drunken ? put away thy wine from thee. 

13 And Hannah answered and said. No, "" my 
lord ; I «OT a woman of a sorrowful spirit : I 
have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but 
have " poured out my soul before the Lord. 

16 Count not thine handmaid for a daughter 
of ^ Belial : for out of the abundance of my 
complaint and grief have I spoken hitherto. 

17 Then Eli answered and said, Go " in peace : 
and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition that 
thou hast asked of him. 

1 8 And she said. Let thine handmaid find grace 
in thy sight. So the woman went her way, and 
did eat, and her countenance was ^ no more sad.

of Israel to he my priest, to offer upon mine 
altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before 
me ? and did I give unto the house of thy father 
^ all the offerings made by fire of the children of 
Israel ? 

29 Wherefore " kick ye at my sacrifice and at 
mine offering, which I have commanded in my 
^ habitation, and " honourest thy sons above me, 
to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all 
the offerings of Israel my people ? 

30 Wherefore the Lord God of Israel saith, 
■^ I said indeed that thy house, and the house of 
thy father, should walk before me for ever : but 
now the Lord saith, ^ Be it far from me ; for 
them that ^ honour me ^ I will honour, and they 
that despise me shall be lightly esteemed. 

31 Behold, the days come that I will cut off 
thine arm, and the arm of thy father's house, that 
there shall not be an old man in thine house. 

32 And thou shalt see ^ an enemy in my habi- 
tation, in all the ivealth which God shall give 
Israel : and there shall not be an old man in 
thine house for ever. 

33 And the man of thine, ivhom I shall not 'cut 
off from mine altar, shall be to consume thine 
eyes, and to grieve thine heart : and all the increase 
of thine house shall die in the flower of their age. 

34 And this shall be^a sign unto thee, that 
shall come upon thy two sons, on Hophni and 
Phinehas : ' in one day they shall die both of them. 

35 And I will '" raise me up ° a faithful priest, 
that shall do according to that which is in my 
heart, and in my mind : and I will build him 
t a sure house ; and he shall walk before mine 
" Anointed '' for ever. 

36 And it shall come to pass, that every one 
that is left in thine house shall come and 
"^ crouch to him for a piece of silver and a mor-

5 And he ran unto Eli, and said. Here am I ; 
for thou calledst me. And he said, I called not ; 
lie down again. And he went and lay down. 

6 And the Lord called yet again, Samuel 
And Samuel arose, and went to Eli, and said. 
Here am I ; for thou didst call me. And he an- 
swered, I called not, my son ; lie down again. 

7 Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, 
neither was the word of the Lord yet revealed 
unto him. 

8 And the Lord called Samuel again the third 
time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, 
Here am I ; for thou didst call me. And Eli 
perceived that the Lord had called the child. 

9 Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie 
down : and it shall be, if he call thee, that 

thou shalt say, ^ Speak, Lord ; for thy servant g Acts 2, 29 
heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his 
place. 

10 And the Lord came, and stood, and called 
as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel 
answered. Speak ; for thy servant heareth. 

11 And the Lord said to Samuel, Behold, 

^ I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ^mJsVe. 
ears of every one that heareth it shall 'tingle. i2Kin.'2i, 

12 In that day I will perform against Eli all ps! 119,120. 
things which ''I have spoken concerning his {"'^{^^li^^ 
house: when I begin, I will also make an end. Luk^i'ss. 

13 For I have 'told him, that I will "judge ich.2~2y. '

CHAPTER IV. 

1 The Israelites are overcome by the Philistines at Eben- 
ezer. .3 They fetch the ark to the terror of the 
Philistines. 10 They are smitten again, the ark taken, 
Hophni and Phinehas are slain. 12 Eli at the news, 
falling backv/ard, hreaketh his neck. 19 Phinehas' 
Avife, discouraged in her travail with I-chabod, dieth. 

AND the '^ word of Samuel f came to all Is- 
rael. Now Israel went out against the 
Philistines to battle, and pitched beside Eben- 
ezer ; and the Philistines pitched in ^ Aphek. 

2 And the Philistines put themselves in array 
against Israel : and when they f joined battle, 
" Israel was smitten before the Philistines ; and 
they slew of the army in the field about four 
thousand men. 

3 And when the people were come into the 
camp, the elders of Israel said, ^ Wherefore hath 
the Lord smitten us to-day before the Philis- 
tines ? Let us fetch the " ark of the covenant of 
the Lord out of Shiloh unto us, that, when it 
cometh among us, it may ' save us out of the 
hand of our enemies. 

4 So the people sent to Shiloh, that they 
might bring from thence t!ie ark of the cove- 
nant of the Lord of ^ hosts, which dwelleth 

*" between the cherubims : and the ' two sons of \ 
£11, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the '| 
ark of the covenant of God. 

5 And when the ark of the covenant of the 
Lord came into the camp, all Israel ^ shouted 
with a great shout, so that the earth rang again. 

6 And when the Philistines heard the noise of 
the shout, they said. What meaneth the noise of 
this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews ? 
And they understood that the ark of the Lord 
was come into the camp. 

7 And the Philistines were afraid ; for they 
said, God is come into the camp. And they 



said, ' Wo unto us ! for there hath not been such 
a thing heretofore. 

8 Wo unto us ! who shall deliver us out of 
the hand of these mighty Gods.^ these are the 
Gods that smote the Egyptians with all the 
plagues " in the wilderness. 

9 Be strong, and quit yourselves like men, 
O ye Philistines, that ye be not servants unto 
the Hebrews, ° as they have been to you : quit 
yourselves like men, and fight. 

10 And the Philistines fought ; and Israel was 
smitten, and they lied every man into his "tent: 
and there A^^as a very great ^ slaughter ; for there 
fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen. 

1 1 And the '^ ark of God was taken ; and the two 
sons of Eli, Hophni and Phijiehas, were ' slain. 

12 And there ran a man of Benjamin out of 
the arm}', and came to Shiloh the same day, with 
his clothes 'rent, and with earth 'upon his head. 

13 And when he came, lo, Eli sat upon a seat 
by the way-side, watching : for his heart trembled 
for the ark of God. And when the man came 
into the city, and told it, all the city cried out. 

14 And AA'hen Eli heard the noise of the crying, 
he said. What meaneth the noise of this tumult ? 
And the man came in hastily, and told Eli, 

15 Now Eli was ninety and eight years old ; 
and his eyes were dim, that he could not see. 

16 And the man said unto Eli, I am he that 
came out of the army, and I fled to-day out of the 
army. And he said. What is there done, my son ? 

17 And the messenger answered and said, Is- 
rael is fled before the Philistines ; and there hath 
been also a great slaughter among the people ; 
and thy two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, 
are dead ; and the ark of God is taken. 

1 8 And it came to pass, when he made men- 
tion of the ark of God, that he fell from off the 
seat backward, by the side of the " gate ; and 
his "^ neck brake, and he died ; for he was an 
old man, and heavy : and he had judged Israel 
forty years. 

19 And his daughter-in-law, Phinehas' wife, 
was with child, wear to be delivered : and when 
she heard the tidings, that the ark of God was 
taken, and that her father-in-law and her hus- 
band W'cre dead, she bowed herself and travail- 
ed ; for t her pains came upon her. 

20 And about the time of her death, the wo- 
men that stood by her said unto her. Fear not, 
for thou hast borne ^ a son. But she answered 
not, t neither did she regard it. 

21 And she named the child || I-chabod, say- 
ing, ^ The glory is departed from Israel : (be- 
cause the ark of God was taken, and because of 
her father-in-law and her husband :) 

22 And ^ she said. The glory is departed from 
Israel ; for the ark of God is taken.

T7te Philistines send back the ark. 

the lords of the Philistines went after them unto 
the border of Beth-shemesh. 

13 And they of Beth-shemesh icere reaping 
their " wheat-harvest in the valley : and they 
lifted up their eyes, and ° saw the ark, and re- 
joiced to see it. 

14 And the cart came into the field of 
Joshua, a Beth-shemite, and stood there, where 
there loas a great stone : and they " clave the 
wood of the cart, and offered the kine a burnt- 
offering unto the Lord. 

15 And the ^ Levites took down the ark of 
the Lord, and the coffer that ivas with it, 
wherein the jewels of gold were, and put them 
on the great stone : and the men of Beth-she- 
mesh offered burnt-offerings, and sacrificed sa- i 
crifices, the same day unto the Lord. t 

16 And when the five lords of the Philistines > 
had seen it, they returned to Ekron the same day. | 

17 And these are the golden emerods which 
the Philistines returned for a trespass-offering 
unto the Lord ; for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, 
for Askelon one, for Gath one, for Ekron one : 

18 And the golden mice, according to the num- 
ber of all the cities of the Philistines belonging 
to the five lords, both of fenced cities and of 
country villages, even unto f the great gone of 
Abel, whereon they set down the ark of the 
Lord ; which stone remaineth unto this day in 
the field of Joshua the Beth-shemite. 

19 And he smote the men of Beth-shemesh, 
they had '' looked into the ark of the 

Lord, even he smote of the people "■ fifty thou- 
sand and threescore and ten men. And the peo- 
ple lamented, because the Lord had smitten 
mamj of the people with a great slaughter. 

20 And the men of Beth-shemesh said, 'Who 
is able to stand before this holy Lord God.^ 
and to whom shall he go up from us ? 

21 And they sent messengers to the inhabit- 
ants of ' Kiijath-jearim, saying. The Philistines 
have brought again the ark of the Lord ; come 
ye down, and fetch it up to you. 

CHAPTER Vn. 

1 They of Kirjath-jearim bring the ark into the house of 
Abinadab, and sanctify Eleazar his son to keep it. 2 
After twenty years, 3 the Israelites, by Samuel's 
means, solemnly repent at Mizpeh. 9 While Samuel 
prayeth and sacrificeth, the Lord discomfiteth the 
Philistines by thunder at Eben-ezer. 13 The Philis- 
tines are subdued. 15 Samuel peaceably and religiously

The Israelites repent at Mizpeh 

it was twenty years : and all the house of Israel 
" lamented after the Lord. 

o H And Samuel spake unto all the house of 
Israel, saying, If ye do "^ return unto the Lord 
with all your hearts, then put away the ^ strange 
gods and Ashtaroth from among you, and '^ pre- 
pare your hearts unto the Lord, and = serve him 
only ; and he will deliver you out of the hand 
of the Philistines. 

4 Then the children of Israel did put away 
''Baalim and Ashtaroth, and served the Lord 

5 And Samuel said. Gather all Israel 'toMiz- iJucig.20,1. 
peh, and I will pray for you unto the Lord. 

6 And they gathered together to Mizpeh, and 
''drew water, and poured /i out before the Lord, 1,^/139 
and ' fasted on that day, and said there, We have 1 Dan.'9,3. 
■^ sinned against the Lord. And Samuel "judg- mPi°v-2s, 
ed the children of Israel in Mizpeh. 

7 And Avhen the Philistines " heard that the 
children of Israel were gathered together to 
Mizpeh, the lords of the Philistines went up 
against Israel. And when the children of Israel 
heard it, they were ■" afraid of the Philistines. 

8 And the children of Israel said to Samuel, 
t Cease not to cry unto the Lord our God 
us, that he Avill save us out of the hand of 
Philistines. 

9 And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and 
fered it for '' a burnt-offering wholly unto 
Lord : and Samuel cried unto the Lord 
Israel ; and the Lord "" heard him. 

10 And as Samuel was offering up the burnt- 
offering, the Philistines drew near to battle 
against Israel : but the Lord 'thundered with a s Josh. 10, 
great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, ch.' 2, 10. 
and ' discomfited them ; and they were smitten ^ J°sh. 10, 
before Israel. Zech.4, 6 

1 1 And the men of Israel went out of Miz- 
peh, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, 
until they came under Beth-car. 

12 Then Samuel took a stone, and "set it 
between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name 
of it "" Eben-ezer, saying. Hitherto hath the Lord 
helped us. 

13 So the Philistines were subdued, and they 
came ^ no more into the coast of Israel, and the y ^^'^j^, 
hand of the Lord was against the Philistines 
all the days of Samuel. 

14 And the cities which the Philistines had 
taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from 
Ekron even unto Gath ; and the coasts thereof 
did Israel deliver out of the hands of the Phi- 
listines. And there was ^ peace between Israe? 
and the Amorites. 

15 And Samuel ^judged Israel ^ all the days 
of his life.

to ""Betli-e!, and Gilgal, and Mizpeh, and judged 
Israel in all those places. 

1 7 And his return ivas to '' Ramah ; for there 
loas his house : and there he judged Israel; and 
there he " built an altar unto the Lord. 

CHAPTER VIII. 

1 By occasion of the ill government of Samuel's sons, 
the Israelites ask a king-. 6 Samuel praying in grief, 
is comforted by God : 10 lie telleth the manner of a 
king. 19 God willcth Samuel to yield unto the impor- 
tunity of the people. 

AND it came to pass, when Samuel was old, 
that he " made his sons judges over Israel. 

2 Now the name of his first-born was *" Joel, 
and the name of tlie second Abiah : they were 
iudijes in Beer-sheba. 

3 And his sons " walked not in his ways, but 
turned aside after ^ lucre, and " took bribes, and 
perverted judgment. 

4 Then all the elders of Israel gathered them- 
selves together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah, 

5 And said unto him. Behold, thou art 'old, 
and thy sons walk not in thy ways : now ^ make 
us a king to judge us *" like all the nations. 

6 But the thing ' displeased Samuel, when 
they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Sa- 
muel '' prayed unto the Lord. 

7 And the Lord said unto Samuel, ' Hearken 
unto the voice of the people in all that they say 
unto thee : for they have " not rejected thee, 
but they have rejected " me, that I should " not 
reijrn over them. 

8 According to all the works which they have 
done, since the day that I brought them up out 
of Egypt even unto this day, wherewith they 
have forsaken me, and served other gods ; so do 
they also unto thee. 

9 Now, therefore, hearken unto their voice : 
howbeit yet protest solemnly unto them, and 
shew them ^ the manner of the king that shall 
reign over them. 

10 And Samuel told all the words of the Lord 
unto the people that asked of him a king. 

1 1 And he said, This will be the manner of 
the king that shall reign over you ; He will take 
your sons, and appoint them for himself, for his 
chariots, and to he his horsemen ; and some shall 
run before his chariots. 

12 And he will appoint him captains over 
thousands, and captains over fifties, and loill set 
them to ear his ground, and to reap his harvest, 
and to make his instruments of war, and instru- 
ments of his chariots. 

13 And he will take your daughters to be con- 
fectionaries, and to be cooks, and to be bakers. 

14 And he will take your fields, and your 
vineyards, and your oliveyards, even the best of 
them, and give them to *> his servants. 



i 



15 And he will take the tenth of your seed, 
and of your vineyards, and give to his || officers, 
and to his servants. 

16 And he will take your men-servants, and 
your maid-servants, and your goodliest young 
men, and your asses, and put them to his work. 

17 He will take the tenth of your sheep : and 
ye shall be his " servants. 

1 8 And ye shall ' cry out in that day, because 
of your king which ye shall have chosen you ; 
and the Lord will ' not hear you in that day. 

19 Nevertheless, the people " refused to obey 
the voice of Samuel : and they said, " Nay ; but 
we will have a king over us ; 

20 That we also may be ^ like all the nations ; 
and that our king may judge us, and go out be- 
fore us, and fight our battles. 

21 And Samuel heard all the words of the 
people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of 
the Lord. 

22 And the Lord said to Samuel, Hearken 
^ unto their voice, and make them a king. And 
^ Samuel said unto the men of Israel, Go ye 
i every man unto his city. 
I CHAPTER IX. 

Saul despairing to find his father's asses, 6 by the 
counsel of his servant, 1 1 and direction of young 
maidens, 15 according to God's revelation, 18 cometh 
to Samuel. 19 Samuel entertaineth Saul at the feast. 
25 Samuel, after secret communication, bringeth Saul 
on his way. 

OW there was a man of Benjamin, whose 
name ivas ^Kish, the son of Abiel, the 
son of Zeror, the son of Bechorath, the son of 
Aphiah, a Benjamite, a mighty man of power. 

2 And he had a son whose name was Saul, 
'' a choice young man, and a goodly ; and there 
ivas not amoMg the children of Israel a goodlier 
person than he : from his shoulders and upward 
he was " higher than any of the people. 

3 x\nd the ^ asses of Kish, Saul's father, 
were " lost : and Kish said to Saul his son, Take 
now one of the servants with thee, and arise, go 
seek the asses. 

4 And he passed through mount Ephraim, 
and passed through the land of ^ Shalisha, but 
they found them not : then they passed through 
the land of » Shaliin, and there they ivere not ; 
and he passed through the land of the Benjamites, 
but they found them not. 

5 And when they were come to the land of 
^ Zuph, Saul said to his servant that was with him. 
Come, and let us return ; lest my father leave 
caring for the asses, and take thought for us. 

6 And he said unto him. Behold now, there is 
in this city ' a man of God, and he is ^ an honour- 
able man ; all that he saith ' cometh surely to 
pass : now, let us go thither ; peradventure he 
can shew us our way that we should go.

7 Then said Saul to his servant, But, behold, if 
we go, what shall we ™ bring the man ? for the 
bread is spent in our vessels, and there is not a 
present to bring to the man of God: what have we.^ 

8 And the servant answered Saul again, and 
said, Behold, f I have here at hand the fourth 
part of a shekel of silver ; that will I give to 
the man of God, to tell us our way. 

9 (Beforetime in Israel, when a man went to 
" inquire of God, thus he spake. Come, and let 
us go to the seer : for he that is now called a 
Prophet, was beforetime called ° a Seer.) 

10 Then said Saul to his servant, ^ Well said ; 
come, let us go. So they went unto the city 
where the man of God tvas. 

1 1 And as they went up the hill to the city, 
they found young maidens going out to draw 
water, and said unto them. Is the seer here ? 

12 And they answered them, and said. He is ; 
behold, he is before you: make haste now, for 
he came to-day to the city ; for there is \\ a sa- 
crifice of the people to-day "^ in the high place : 

13 As soon as ye be come into the city ye 
shall straightway find him, before he go up to 
the high place to eat : for the people will not eat 
until he come, because he doth ' bless the sacri- 
fice ; and afterwards they eat that be bidden. 
Now therefore get you up ; for about this time 
ye shall find him. 

14 And they went up into the city ; and 
when they were come into the city, behold, 
Samuel came out against them, for to go up to 
the high place. 

15 ^ Now the Lord had told Samuel in his 
ear a day before Saul came, saying, 

16 To-morrow, about this time, I will send 
thee a man out of the land of Benjamin ; and thou 
shalt anoint him to be captain over my people Is- 
rael, that he maj save my people ' out of the 
hand of the Philistines : for 1 have looked upon 
my people, because their cry is come unto me. 

17 And when Samuel saw Saul, the Lord 
" said unto him. Behold the man whom I spake to 
thee of: this same shall f reign over my people. 

18 Then Saul drew near to Samuel in the 
gate, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, where the 
seer's house is. 

19 And Samuel answered Saul, and said, I 
am the seer : go up before me unto the high 
place ; for ye shall eat with me to-day ; and to- 
morrow I will let thee go, and will tell thee all 
that is in thine heart. 

20 And as for thine asses that were lost three 
days ago, set not thy mind on them ; for they 
are found. And on whom is all ^the desire 
of Israel ; is it not on thee, and on all thy 
father's house ? 

21 And Saul answered and said, Am not I a 



Benjamite, of the ^ smallest of the tribes of Is- 
rael ? and my femily the ^ least of all the familic? 
of the tribe of Benjamin ? wherefore then speak- 
est thou so to me ? 

22 And Samuel took Saul and his servant, and 
brought them into the parlour, and made them 
"* sit in the chiefest place among them that were 
bidden, which iverc about thirty persons. 

23 And Samuel said unto the cook. Bring the 
'' portion which I gave thee, of which I said 
unto thee. Set it by thee. 

24 And the cook took up the •= shoulder, and 
that which ivas upon it, a.nd set it before Saul. 
And Samuel said, Behold that which is left ! set 
it before thee, and eat ; for unto this time hath 
it been kept for thee, since I said, I have invited 
the people. So Saul did eat with Samuel that day. 

23 And when they were come down from the 
high place into the city, Samuel "^ communed 
with Saul upon the ^ top of the house. 

26 And they arose early : and it came to pass, 
about the spring of the day, that Samuel called 
Saul to the top of the house, saying. Up, that I 
may send thee away. And Saul arose, and they 
went out both of them, he and Samuel, abroad. 

27 And as they were going down to the end 
of the city, Samuel said to Saul, pid the ser- 
vant pass on before us, (and he passed on,) but 
^ stand thou still f a while, that I may f shew 
thee the word of God. 

CHAPTER X. 

1 Samuel anointeth Saul : 2 He confirmeth him by pre- 
diction of three signs. 9 Saul's heart is changed, and 
he prophesieth : 14 He concealeth the matter of the 
kingdom from his uncle. 17 Saul is chosen at Mizpeh 
by lot. 26 The different affections of his subjects. 

rfflHEN Samuel took ^ a vial of oil, and poured 
-*- it upon his head, and ''kissed him, and said. 
Is it not because the Lord hath = anointed thee 
to be captain over his '' inheritance ? 

2 When thou art departed from me to-day, 
then thou shalt find two men by ^ Rachel's se- 
pulchre, in the border of Benjamin, at Zelzah ; 
and they will say unto thee. The asses which 
thou wentest to seek are found : and, lo, thy fa- 
ther hath left the care of the asses, and sorroweth 
for you, saying. What shall I do for my son ? 

3 Then shalt thou go on forward from thence, 
and thou shalt come to the plain of Tabor, and 
there shall meet thee three men going up to God 
to Beth-el, one carrying three kids, and another 
carrying three loaves of bread, and another 
carrying a bottle of '' wine : 

4 And they will salute thee, and give thee 
two loaves of bread, which thou shalt receive 
of their hands. 

5 After that thou shalt come to the ^ hill of 

God, where is the garrison of the Philistines:

encamped against Jabesh-gilead : and all

a covenant with us, and we will serve thee. c Deut. 20,

Give us seven days' respite, that we may send 
messengers unto all the coasts of Israel : and 
then, if there be no man to save us, we will 
come out to thee.

Samuel testijieth his integrity, 

7 And he took a yoke of oxen, and ' hewed 
them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the 
coasts of Israel by the hands of messengers, say- 
ing, Whosoever cometh not forth after Saul and 
after Samuel, ^ so shall it be done mito his oxen. 
And the fear of the Lord fell on the people, and 
they came out f Avith one consent. 

8 And when he numbered them in ' Bezek, 
the children of Israel were three hundred thou- 
sand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand. 

9 And they said unto the messengers that came. 
Thus shall ye say unto the men of Jabesh-gilcad, | 
To-morrow, by that time the sun be hot, ye shall i 
have help. And the messengers came and shew- ( 
ed it to the men of Jabesh ; and they were glad. > 

10 Therefore the men of Jabesh said. To- > 
morrow " we will come out unto you, and ye ^ 
shall do with us all that seemeth good unto you. 

1 1 And it was so on the ° morrow, that Saul 
put the people in three f companies ; and they 

j^dg T^fo' came into the midst of the host in the ° morn- 
oE.'c.i4,24. in<T watch, and slew the Ammonites until the 
heat of the day : and it came to pass, that they 
which remained Avere scattered, so that p tAvo 
of them Avere not left together. 

12 And the people said unto Samuel, Who is 
he that said. Shall Saul '^ reign over us ? bring 
the men, that Ave may put them to death. 

13 And Saul said. There shall ■■ not a man 
be put to death this day : for to-day the Lord 
hath Avrought salvation in Israel. 

14 Then said Samuel to the people, Come, and

15 And all the people went to Gilgal ; and 
tch. 14,18. there they made Saul 'king before the Lord in 

Gilgal ; and there they sacrificed sacrifices of 
peace-offerings before the Lord ; and there Saul 
and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.

2 And noAv, behold, the king ^ Avalketh be-

6 And Samuel said unto the people. It is the 
Lord 'that advanced Moses and Aaron, and that {Eka, 19

7 NoAV therefore stand still, that I may " rea- 
son Avith you before the Lord of all the right-

tinue following the Lord your God :

out to the passage of Michmash. 

CHAPTER XIV. 

1 Jonathan, unwitting to his father, the priest, or the 
people, goeth and miraculously smiteth the Philistines' 
garrison. 15 A divine terror maketh them beat 
themselves. 17 Saul not staying the priest's answer, 
setteth on them. 21 The captivated Hebrews, and 
the hidden Israelites, join against them. 24 Saul's un- 
advised adjuration hindereth the victory : 32 He re- 
straineth the people from eating blood : 35 He build- 
eth an altar. 3G Jonathan taken by lot, is saved by 
the people. 47 Saul's strength and family. 

NOW it came to pass upon a day, that Jona- 
than the son of Saul said unto the young 
man that bare his armour, ^ Come, and let us go 
over to the Philistines' garrison that is on the 
other side. But he ''told not his father. 

2 And Saul tarried in the uttermost part of 
Gibeah, under a pomegranate-tree, which is in 
" Migron : and the ])eople that were with him* 
were about six hundred men ; 

3 And '^ Ahiah, the son of Ahitub, "= I-chabod's 
brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the 
Lord's priest in Shiloh, ^ wearing an cphod. And 
the people knew not that Jonathan was gone. 

4 And between the passages, by which Jona- 
than sought to go over unto the Philistines' gar- 
rison, there was a f sharp rock on the one side, 
and a sharp rock on the other side : and the 
name of the one loas Bozez, and the name of 
the other Seneh.

bare his armour, Come, and let us go over un- 
to the garrison of these 5 uncircumcised: ''it may 
be that the Lord will work for us: for there 
is no restraint to the Lord to save by many ' or 
by few. 

7 And his armour-bearer said unto him. Do 
all that is in thine heart : turn thee ; behold, 1 
am with thee according to thy heart. 

8 Then said Jonathan, Behold, we will pass 
over unto these men, and we will discover our- 
selves unto them. 

9 "^ If they say thus unto us. Tarry until we 
come to you ; then we will stand still in our 

• place, and will not go up unto them. 

10 But if they say thus. Come up unto us; 
then we will go up : for the Lord hath deliver- 



] 1 And both of them discovered themselves un- 
to the garrison of the Philistines: and the Philis- 
tines said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth out 
of the holes where they had hid themselves. 

12 And the men of the " garrison answered 
Jonathan and his armour-bearer, and said, Come 
up to us, and we " will shew you a thing. And 
Jonathan said unto his armour-bearer. Come up 
after me; for the Lord hath delivered them into 
the hand of Israel. 

13 And Jonathan ° climbed up upon his hands 
and upon his feet, and his armour-bearer after 
him : and they fell before Jonathan ; and his ar- 
mour-bearer P slew after him. 

14 And that first slaughter, which Jonathan 
and his armour-bearer made, was about twenty 
men, f within as it were an half-acre of la'nd, 
ivhich a yoke of oxen might plow. 

15 And there was i trembling in the ho.st, in 
} the field, and among all the people ; the garrison, 
^ and the spoilers, they also trembled; and the earth 
/ quaked : so it wasf a very great trembling. 

i 16 And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of 
> Benjamin looked ; and, behold, the multitude 
] mfelted away, and they went on beating down 
i one another. 

^ 17 Then said Saul unto the people that i(;ere 
\ with him, Number now, and see who is gone 
^ from us. And when they had numbered, behold, 
I Jonathan and his armour-bearer ivere not there. 
} 18 And Saul said unto Ahiah, 'Bring hither 

the ark of God : (for the ark of God was at that 

time with the children of Israel.) 

19 And it came to pass, while Saul talked unto 
the priest, that the noise that was in the host of 
the Philistines went on and increased ; and Saul 
said unto the priest, ° Withdraw thin.'? hand. 

20 And Saul and all the people that were with 
him assembled themselves, and they came to the 
battle : and, behold, * every man's sw6rd was 
against his fellow, and there was a very great 
discomfiture. 

21 Moreover, the Hebrews that were with 
the Philistines before that time, which went up 
with them into the camp /rom the country round 
about, even they also turned to be with the Is- 
raelites that were with Saul and Jonathan. 

^ 22 Likewise all the men of Israel which had 
f " hid themselves in mount Ephraim, lohen they 
i heard that the Philistines fled, even they also 
^ followed hard after them in the battle. 
J 23 So the Lord " saved Israel that day: and 

ithe y battle passed over unto Beth-aven.

day : for Saul had ^ adjured the people, saying,

19 Now Saul, and they, and all the men of 
Israel, were in the valley of Elah, fighting with 
the Philistines.

32 And David said to Saul, ' Let no man's 
heart fail because of him : thy servant * will go 
and fight with this Philistine. 

33 And Saul said to David, Thou art not 
able to go against this Philistine to fight with 
him : for thou art but a youth, and he " a man 
of war from his youth. 

34 And David said unto Saul, Thy servant 
t kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, 
and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock ; 

35 And I went out after him, and smote him, 
and delivered it out of his mouth : and when he 
arose against me, I caught him by his beard, 
and ^ smote him, and slew him. 

36 Thy servant slew both the lion and the 
bear ; and this uncircumcised Philistine shall 
be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the 
armies of the living God. 

37 David said, moreover. The Lord that de- 
livered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of ^ 



■"the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of kRev. ig, 
the earth ; that ' all the earth may know that iPs.58, ii.

(• that David hasted, and ran toward the army to 
^ meet the Philistine. 

49 And David put his hand into his bag, and 
took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the 
Philistine in his forehead, that the stone j| sunk \\ The word 
into his forehead ; and he fell upon his face to Mmgo/a

50 So David prevailed over the Phihstine Judg.'3,3i.

CHAPTER XVni. 

Jonathan loveth David. 5 Saul envieth his praise, 
10 seeketh to kill him in his fury, 12 feareth him for 
his good success, 17 offereth him his daughters for a 
snare. 22 David persuaded to be the king's son-in-law, 
giveth two hundred foreskins of the Philistines for 
Michal's dowry. 28 Saul's hatred and David's glory 
increase. 

AND it came to pass, when he had made an 
end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul 
of Jonathan was * knit with the soul of David ; 
and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. 

2 And Saul took him *> that day, and would 
let him go no more home to his father's house. 

3 Then Jonathan and David made a cove- 
nant, because he loved him as his own soul. 

4 And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe 
that was upon him, and gave it to David, and 
his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, 
and to his girdle. 

5 And David went out whithersoever Saul 
sent him, and behaved himself ■= wisely: and 
Saul set him over the men of war ; and he was 
accepted in the sight of all the people, and also 
in the sight of Saul's servants. 

6 And it came to pass, as they came, when 
David was returned from the slaughter of the 
Philistine, that the women came out of all the 
cities of Israel, "^ singing and dancing, to meet 
king Saul, with tablets, with joy, and with in- 
struments of music. 

7 And the women * answered one another as 
they played, and said, ' Saul hath slain his thou- 
sands, and David his ten thousands. 

8 And Saul was very wroth, and the saying 
t displeased him; and he saic, They have as- 
cribed unto David ten thousands, and to me they 
have ascribed hut thousands : and lohat can he 
have more but the ^ kingdom ? 

9 And Saul ^ eyed David from that day and 
forward. 

10 And it Came to pass, on the morrow, that 
the 'evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and 
he ^ prophesied in the midst of the house ; and 
David played with his hand, as at other times: 
and there luas a javelin in Saul's hand. 

11 And Saul cast the 'javelin ; for he said, 
I will smite David even to the wall with it. And 
David avoided out of his presence twice. 

12 And Saul was afraid of David, because 
the Lord was with him, and was departed from 
Saul. 

13 Therefore Saul removed him from him, 
and made him his captain "" over a thousand : 
and he went out "and came in before the people. 

^ 14 And David behaved himself wisely in all 
his ways ; and the Lord lous with him. 

15 Wherefore, when Saul saw that he behaved 
himself very wisely, he was afrai'l of him. 



16 But all Israel and Judah loved David, 
because he went out and came in before them. 

17 And Saul said to David, Behold, myfel- 
der daughter Merab, her will I give thee to 
wife ; only be thou valiant for me, and fight the 
° Lord's battles : for Saul said, ^ Let not mine 
hand be upon him, but let the hand of the Phi- 
listines be upon him. 

18 And David said unto Saul, •i Who am I ? 
and what is my life, or my father's family in Is- 
rael, that I should be son-in-law to the king ? 

19 But it came to pass, at the time when Me 
rab, Saul's daughter, should have been given to 
David, that she was given unto ■" Adriel the 
^ Meholathite to wife. 

20 And Michal, Saul's daughter, loved David : 
and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him. 

21 And Saul said, I will give him her, that 
she may be ' a snare to him, and that the " hand 
of the Philistines may be against him. Where- 
fore Saul said to David, Thou shalt this day be 
my son-in-law in the one of hie twain. 

22 And Saul commanded his servants, say- 
ing, Commune with David secretly, and say, 
Behold, the king hath delight in thee, and all 
his servants love thee : now, therefore, be the 
king's son-in-law. 

23 And Saul's servants spake those words in 
the ears of David. And David said, Seemeth it 
to you a light thing to be a king's son-in-law, 
seeing that I am ^ a poor man, and lightly 
esteemed ? 

24 And the servants of Saul told him, saying, 
t On this manner spake David. 

25 And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to David, 
The king desircth not any ^ do^a-y, but an hun- 
dred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged 
of the king's enemies. But Saul thought to 
make David fall by the hand of the Philistines. 

26 And when his servants told David these 
words, t it pleased David well to be the king's 
son-in-law : and the days were not expired. 

27 Wherefore David arose, he and his men, 
and slew of the Philistines two hundred men ; 
and David brought their foreskins, and they 
gave them in full f tale to the king, that he 
might be the king's son-in-law. And Saul gave 
him Michal his daughter to wife. 

28 And Saul saw and knew that the Lord 
was with David, and ihat Michal, Saul's daugh- 
ter, loved him. 

29 And Saul was yet the ^ more afraid of David; 
and Saul became David's enemy continually. 

30 Then the princes of the Philistines went 
forth : and it came to pass, after they went forth, 
that David behaved himself || more wisely than 
all the servants of Saul ; so that his name was 
t much set by.

but a step between me and ® death. ( 

4 Then said Jonathan unto David, Whatsoev- 
er thy soul ''desireth, I will even do it for thee. 

5 And David said unto Jonathan, Behold, to- 
morrow is the 2 new moon, and I should not fail 
to sit with the king at meat ; but let me go, that 
I may hide myself in the field unto the third day 
at even. 

6 If thy father at all miss me, then say, Da- 
vid earnestly asked leave of me, that he might 
run to Beth-lehem ^ his city : for there is a 
' yearl}-- sacrifice there for all the family. 

7 If he say thus. It is well ; thy servant shall 
have peace : but if he be very wroth, then be 
sure that evil is determined by him. 

8 Therefore thou shalt deal kindly with thy 
servant ; for ^ thou hast brought thy servant into 
acovenant of the Lord with thee: notwithstand- 
ing, if ' there be in me iniquity, slay me thyself; 
for why shouklest thou brins: me to thv father ? 

9 And Jonathan said, Far be it from thee : 
for if I knew certainly tiiat evil were determin- 
ed by my father to come upon thee, then would 
not I tell it thee ? 

10 Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell 
me ? or what if thy father answer thee roughly ? 

11 H And Jonathan said unto David, Come, 
and let us go out into the field. And they went 
out both of them into the field. 

12 And Jonathan said unto David, || O Lord 
God of Israel, when I have f sounded my father 
about to-morrow any time, or the third day, and, 
behold, if there he good towards David, and I 
then send not unto thee, and f shevr it thee, 

13 " The Lord do so and much more to Jona- 
than : but if it please my father to do thee evil, 
then I will shew it thee, and send thee away, 
that thou mayest go in peace : and the Lord 
° be with thee, as he hath been with my father. 

14 And thou shalt not only while yet I live 
shew me the kindness of the Lord, that I die not ; 

15 But also thou shalt not cut off thy kind- 
ness ° from my house for ever : no, not when 
the Lord hath cut off the enemies of David 
every one from the face of the earth. 

16 So Jonathan t made a core?mni with the 
house of David, saying, Let the Lord even 
P require it at the hand of David's enemies. 

17 And Jonathan caused David to i swear 
again, because he loved him : for he loved him 
t as he loved his own soul. 

18 Then Jonathan said to David, To-morrow 
is the new moon : and thou shalt be missed, be- 
cause thy seat will be empty. 

19 And when thou hast stayed three days, 
then thou shalt go down quickly, and come to 



the place where thou didst hide thyself f when 
the business was in hand, and shalt remain bv 
the stone || Ezel. 

20 And I will shoot three arrows on the side 
thereof as though I shot at a mark. 

21 And, behold, I will send a lad, saying, 
Go, find out the arrows. If I expressly say 
unto the lad, Behold, the arrows aie on this 
side of thee, take them ; tlien come thou : for 
there is peace to thee, and no liurt; as the Lord 
liveth. 

22 But if I say thus unto the young man, Be- 
held, the arrows are beyond thee ; go thy way : 
for the Lord hath sent thee away. 

23 And as touching the matter which thou 
and I have spoken of, behold, the Lord be be- 
tween thee and me for ever. 

24 TI So David hid "■ himself in the field : and 
when the new moon was come, the king sat him 
down to eat meat. 

25 And the king sat upon his seat, fas at other 
times, even upon a seat by the wall : and Jona- 
than arose, and Abner sat by Saul's side, and 
David's place was empty. 

26 Nevertheless Saul spake not anything that 
day : for he thought. Something hath befallen 
him, he is not clean ; surely he is ^ not clean. 

27 And it came to pass on the morrow, which 
was the second day of tlie month, that David's 
place was empty : and Saul said unto Jonathan 
his son, ' Wherefore cometh not the son of " Jes- 
se to t meat, neither yesterday nor to-day ? 

28 And Jonathan answered Saul, David ear- 
nestly asked leave of me to go to Beth-lehem : 

29 And he said. Let me go, I pray thee ; for 
our family hath ^ a sacrifice in the city ; and my 
bvother he hath commanded me to be there : and 
now, if I have found favour in thine eyes, let me 
get away, I pray thee, and see my brethren. 
Therefore he cometh not unto the king's table. 

30 Then Saul's anger was kindled against 
Jonathan, and he said unto him, t Thou son of 
the perverse rebellious woman, do not I know 
that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thine 
own confusion, and unto the confusion of thy 
mother's nakedness ? 

31 For as long as the son of Jesse liveth up- 
on the ground, thou shalt not be established, nor 
thy kingdom. Wherefore now send and fetch 
him unto me, for he shall surely die. 

32 And Jonathan answered Saul his father, 
and said unto him, '^Wherefore shall he be slain? 
what hath he done ? 

33 And Saul cast a javelin at him to smite 
him : whereby Jonathan knew that it was deter- 
mined of his father to slay David. 

34 So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce 
anger, and did eat no meat the second day of the

35 H And it came to pass in the morning, that 
e verse j9. Jonathan went out into the field "^ at the time 

appointed with David, and a little lad with him. 

36 And he said unto his lad, Run, find out 
now the arrows which I shoot. And as the 
lad ran, he shot an arrow f bejond him. 

37 And when the lad was come to the place 
of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jona-

arose out of a place towards the south, and fell

three times : and thev kissed one another, and

There is no common bread under mine hand 
but there is ^ hallowed bread ; if the young men 
have kept themselves at least ^ from women. 

5 And David answered the priest, and said ^ every one thniivas ^ in debt, and every one that 
unto him, Of a truth, women have been kept from ^ ivas discontented, gathered themselves unto him; 



that was taken from before the Lord, to put

7 Now a certain man of the 'servants of Saul 
loas there that "^ day, detained before the Lord ; 
and his name was Doeg, an '' Edomite, the 
t chiefest of the herdmen that belonged to Saul. 

8 H And David said unto Ahimelech, And is 
there not here under thine hand spear or sword ? 
for I have neither brought my sword nor my 
weapons with me, because the king's business 
required haste. 

9 And the priest said. The sword of Goliath 
the Philistine, whom thou slewest in the ° valley 
of Elah, behold, it is here wrapped in a cloth be- 
hind the ephod : if thou wilt take that, take it : 
for there is no other save that here. And Da- 
vid said. There is none like that ; give it me. 

10 And David arose, and p fled that day for fear 
of Saul, and went to ^ Achish the king of Gath. 

1 1 And the servants of Achish said unto him. 
Is not this David the king of the land ? did they 
not sing one to another of him in dances, saying, 
■■ Saul hath slain his tliousands, and David his 
ten thousands ? 

12 And David 'laid up these words in his heart, 
and was * sore afraid of Achish the king of Gath. 

13 And he changed his behaviour before 
thein, and feigned himself mad in their hands, 
and scrabbled on the doors of the gate, and let 
his spittle fall down upon his beard. 

14 Then sa' \ Achish unto his servants, Lo, 
ye see the man is || mad ; wherefore then have 
ye brought him to me ?

9 And David said to Abishai, Destroy him 
not : for who can stretch forth his hand against

10 David said furthermore, As the Lord liv- 
eth, ° the Lord shall smite him ; or ° his day

1 1 The Lord forbid that I should stretch forth

1 Saul hearing David to be in Gath, seeketh no more for 
him. 5 David beggeth Ziklag of Achish : 8 He, in- 
vading other countries, persuadeth Achish that he 
fought against Judah. 

ND David ^ said in his heart, I shall now 
perish one day by the hand of Saul : there 
is nothing better for me than that I should 
speedily escape into the land of the Philistines ; 
and Saul shall despair of me, to seek me any 
more in any gjast of Israel : so shall I escape 
out of his hand. 

2 And David arose, and he ^ passed over with 
the six hundred men that ivere with him unto 
Achish, the son of Maoch, king of ° Gath. 

3 And David dwelt with Achish at Gath, he 
and his men, every man with his household, even 
David with his two wives, Ahinoara the Jezreel- 
itess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, '^Nabal's wife. 

4 And it was told Saul that David was fled to 
Gath ; and he sought ® no more again for him. 

5 And David said unto Achish, If I have 
now found grace in thine eyes, let them give me 
a place in some town in the ^ country, that I may 
dwell there : for why should thy servant dwell 
in the royal city with thee ? 

6 Then Achish gave him ^ Ziklag that day : 
wherefore Ziklag pertaineth unto the kings of 
Judah unto this day. 

7 And the time that David dwelt in the 
country of the Philistines was t a full year and 
four months. 

8 IT And David and his men went up and in- 
vaded the ^ Geshurites, and the ' Gezrites, and 
the ^ Amalekites : for those nations were of old 
the ' inhabitants of the land, as thou goest to 
Shur, even unto the land of Egypt.

10 And Achish said, Whither have ye made a 
road to-day.? And David said. Against the "south 
of Judah, and against the south of the°Jerah- 
meelites, and against the south of the Kenites. 

1 1 And David saved neither man nor woman 
alive to bring tidings to Gath, saying, Lest they 
should tell on us, saying, So did David, and so 
ivill be his manner all the while lie dwelleth in 
the country of the Philistines. 

12 And Achish believed David, saying, He 
hath made his people Israel f utterly to ablior 
him ; therefore he shall be my servant for ever. 

CHAPTER XXVIII. 

1 Achish putteth confidence in David. 3 Saul having 
destroyed the witches, 4 and now in his fear forsaken 
of God, 7 seeketh to a witch. 9 The witch encouraged 
by Saul, raiseth up Samuel. 15 Saul hearing his 
ruin, fainteth. 21 The woman with his servants re- 
fresh him with meat. 

ND it came to pass in those days, that the 
Philistines * gathered their armies together 
for warfare, to fight with Israel. And Achish said 
unto David, f Know thou assuredly, that thou 
shalt go out with me to battle, thou and thy men. 

2 And David said to Achish, Surely '' thou shalt 
know what thy servant can do. And Achish 
said to David, Therefore will I jnake thee keeper 
of mine head for ever. 

3 T[ Now Samuel was " dead, and all Israel cch. 25,1. 
had lamented him, and buried him in Ramah, 

even in his own city. And Saul had put away 
those that had ''familiar spirits, and the wizards, 
out of the land. 

4 And the Philistines gathered themselves 
together, and came and pitched ^ in Shunem : 
and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they 
pitched in ^ Gilboa. 

5 And when Saul saw the host of the Phi- 
listines, he was ^ afraid, and his heart greatly g Job 15, 
trembled. f 'a. 57, 20. 

6 And when Saul ^ inquired of the Lord, the ^^ap^ke 
Lord ' answered him not, neither ly '' dreams, ? Chr. 10, 
nor by ' Urim, nor by " prophets. 

7 Then said Saul unto his servants, " Seek 
me a woman that hath a familiar spiri.% that I 
may go to her, and inquire of her. And his 
servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman 
that hath a familiar spirit ° at En-dor. 

8 And Saul p disguised himself, and pu: on 
other raiment, and he went, and two men with 
him, and they came to the woman by night : and 
he said, I pray thee, divine unto me by the fa- 
miliar spirit, and bring me him <J up whom I 
shall name unto thee.

16 Then said Samuel, Wherefore then dost 
thou ask of me, * seeing the Lord is departed 
from thee, and is become thine enemy ? 

17 And the Lord hath done ^ to him, as he 
spake " by me : for the Lord hath rent the 
kingdom out of thine hand, and given it to thy 
neighbour, even to David : 

18 Because thou obeyedst not the voice of 
the Lord, '^ nor f executedst his fierce wrath

me : the Lord also shall deliver the host of Is-

20 Then Saul f fell straightway all along on

words of Samuel : and there was no strength in 
him ; for he had eaten no ^ bread all the day, 
nor all the night. 

21 And the woman came unto Saul, and saw 
that he was sore troubled, and said unto him, Be

4 And the princes of the Philistines were

that he may go again to his place which thou

be with the heads of these men ? 

5 Is not this David, of whom they sang one 

to another in dances, saying, ^ Saul slew his fch. 18,7.

him. Surely, asf the Lord liveth, thou hast been IP'';

CHAPTER XXXI. 

1 Saul, having lost his army, and his sons slain, he anJ 
his armour-bearer kill themselves. 7 The Philistines 
possess the forsaken towns of the Israelites. 8 They 
triumph over the dead carcases. 1 1 They of Jabesh- 
gilead, recovering the bodies by night, burn them at 
Jabesh, and mournfully bury their bones. 
OW the * Philistines fought against Israel : 
and the men of Israel fled from before the 
Philistines, and fell down f slain in mount Gilboa. 

2 And the Philistines followed hard upon 
Saul, and upon his sons ; and the Philistines 
slew ^ Jonathan, and " Abinadab, and IMelchi- 
shua, Saul's sons. 

3 And the battle went sore against Saul, and 



N 



they forsook the cities and fled ; and the Philis- 
tines came ' and dwelt in them. 

8 And it came to pass on the morrow, when the 
Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found 
Saul and his three sons fallen in mount Gilboa. 

9 And they ^ cut off his head, and stripped 
ofl' his armour, and sent into the land of the Phi- 
listines round about, to publish it in the house 
of their idols, and among the people. 

10 And they put his armour in the house of 
' Ashtaroth ; and they fastened his body to the 
"' wall of ° Beth-shan. 

11 And when the inhabitants of ° Jabesh- 
gilead heard of that which the Philistines had 
done to Saul, 

12 All the valiant men arose, and went all 
night, and took the body of Saul, and the bodies 
of his sons, from the wall of Beth-shan, and 
came to Jabesh, and ^ burnt thein there. 

13 And they took their bones, and ^ buried 
them under a tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.

12 !I And Abner the son of Ner, and the ser-

from Mahanaim to ° Gibeon. 

13 And P Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the 
servants of David, went out, and met together 
by the pool of Gibeon : and they sat down, the 
one on the one side of the '^ pool, and the other 
on the other side of the pool. 

14 And Abner said to Joab, Let the young 
men now arise, and ■■ play before us. And Joab 
said, Let them arise. 

15 Then there arose, and went over by num- 
ber, twelve of Benjamin, which pertained to 
Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of the 
servants of David. 

16 And thsy caught every one his fellow by 
the head, and thrust his sword in his fellow's side ; 
so they fell down together: wherefore that place 
was called Helkath-hazzurim,whichzsinGibeon. 

17 And there was a very sore battle that day ; 
and Abner was ' beaten, and the men of Israel, 
before the servants of David. 

18 And there were three sons of Zeruiah 
there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel: and 'Asa- 
hel ivas " as light of foot as a wild roe. 

19 And Asahel pursued after Abner ; and in 
going he turned not to the right hand nor to the 
left ^ from following Abner. 

20 Then Abner looked behind him, and said, 
Art thou Asahel ? And he answered, I am. 

21 And Abner said to him, Turn thee aside 
to thy right hand or to thy left, and lay thee 
hold on one of the young men, and take thee 
his t armour. But A^nhel would not turn aside 
from following of him. 

22 And Abner said again to Asahel, Turn 
thee aside from following me : wherefore should 
I smite thee to the ground ? how then should I 
hold up my face to Joab thy brother ? 

23 Howbeit, he refused totur.i aside : where- 
fore Abner, with the hinder end of the spear, 
smote him under the >■ fifth rib, that the spear 
came out behind him ; and he fell down there, 
and died in the same place : and it came to pass, 
that as many as came to the place where Asahel 
fell down and died, stood still. 

24 Joab also and Abishai pursued after Ab- 
ner : and the sun went down when they were 
come to the hill of Ammah, that lieth before 
Giah, by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon. 

25 And the children of Benjamin gathered 
themselves together after Abner, and became ! 
one troop, and stood on the top of an hill. ! 

26 Then Abner called to Joab, and said. Shall ; 
the sword devour for ever ? knowest thou not ; 
that it will be bitterness in the latter end ? how ' 
long shall it be then ere thou bid the people re- ' 
turn t from following their brethren ? '

27 And Joab said. As God liveth, ^ unless 
thou hadst spoken, surely then in the morning 
the people had gone up every one from follow- 
ing his brother. 

28 So Joab blew a trumpet, and all the peo- 
pie stood still, and pursued after Israel no more, 
neither fought they " any more. 

29 And Abner and liis men walked all that 
night through the plain, and passed over Jordan, 
and went through all || Bithron, and they came 
to Mahanaim. 

30 And Joab returned from following Abner: 
and when he had gathered all the people toge- 
ther, there lacked of David's servants nineteen 
men and Asahel. 

31 But the servants of Da\'id had smitten of 
Benjamin, and of Abner's men, so that ^ three 
hundred and threescore men died. 

32 And they " t'ook up Asahel, and buried him 
in the sepulchre of his father, which ■2yas in Beth- 
lehem. And Joab and his men went all night, 
and they came '' to Hebron at break of day.

vid rcquirelh a condition to bring him his wife Mi-

IS feasted by David, and dismissed. 22 Joab returning 
from battle, is displeased with the king, and killeth 
Abner. 28 David curselh Joab, 31 and mourneth for 
Abner. 

OW there was "" long war between the house 
of Saul and the house of David : but Da- 
vid ^ waxed stronger and stronger, and the house 
of Saul " waxed weaker and weaker. 

2 And unto David w^re '' sons born in He- 
bron : and his * first-born was Amnon, of Ahi- 
noam the Jezreelitess ; 

3 And his second, Chileab, of Abigail the 
^ wife of Nabal the Carmelite : and the third, 

II Absalom, the son of Maacah the daughter of

4 And the fourth, *" Adonijah, the son of Hag- 
gith ; and the fifth, Shephatiah, the son of Abital ; 

5 And the sixth, Ithream, by Eglah, David's 
wife. These were born to David in Hebron. 

6 And it came to pass, while there was war 
between the house of Saul and the house of Da- 
vid, that Abner made ' himself strong for the 
house of Saul. 

7 And Saul had a concubine, whose name ivas 

^ Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah : and Ish-bosheth "^ch. 21,10.

7 Nevertheless David took the strong hold of

said unto David, Go up ; for I will doubtless 
deliver the Philistines into thine hand. 

20 And David came to '' Baal-perazim, and 
David smote them there, and said. The Lord 
hath broken forth upon mine enemies before

he said, Thou shalt not go up ; but fetch a com- 
pass behind them, and come upon them over 
against the mulberry-trees. 

24 And let it be, when thou hearest the sound 
of '' a going in the tops of the mulberry-trees, 
that then thou shalt bestir thyself : for then shall 
the Lord go out before thee, to smite the host

2 And he smote Moab, and *= measured them ^ 
with a line, casting them down to the ground ; ^ 
even with '^ two lines measured he to put to ^ 
death, and with one full line to keep alive : /

and brought gifts. 

3 David smote also Hadadezer, the son of 
Rehob, king of ^ Zobah, as he '' went to re- 
cover his border at the river Euphrates. 

■i And David took from him a thousand cha- 
riots, and s seven hundred horsemen, and twen- 
ty thousand footmen : and David '' houghed all

While Joab besiegeth Rabbah, David committeth 
adultery with Bath-sheba. 6 Uriah sent for by David 
to cover the adultery, would not go home neither sober 
nor drunken. 14 He carrieth to Joab the letter of his 
death. 18 Joab sendeth the news thereof to David. 
26 David taketh Bath-sheba to wife. 

ND it came to pass, f after the year was 
expired, '^ at the time when kin2;s go forth 
io battle, that David sent Joab, and his servants 
with him, and all Israel ; and they destroyed the 
children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But 
David ^tarried still at Jerusalem. 

2 And it came to pass in an evening-tide, that 
David arose from off his ''bed, and walked upon 
the roof of the king's house : and from the "^ roof 
he ^saw a woman "^ washing herself; and the 
woman was very beautifLil to look upon. 

3 And David »sent and inquired after the 
woman. And one said, /snot this Bath-sheba, 
the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the 
^ Hittite ? 

4 And David 'sent messengers, and took her: 
and she came in unto him, and he '' lay with 
her, (for she was purified from iier uncleanness,) 
and she returned unto her house. 

5 And the woman conceived, and sent and 
'told David, and said, I am with child. 

6 And David sent to Joab, sav/m^, "Send me 
Uriah the Hittite. And Joab sent Uriah to David. 

7 And when Uriah was come unto him, Da- 
vid demanded of him how Joab did, and how 
the people did, and how the war prospered. 

8 And David said to Uriah, Go down to thy 
house, and wash thy feet. And Uriah departed 
out of the king's house, and there followed him 
" a mess of meat from the king. 

9 But Uriah slept at the door of the king's 
house, with all the servants of his lord, and 
went not down to his house. 



13 And when David had called him, he did 
eat and drink before him ; and lie made him 
drunk : and at even he went out to lie on his 
bed with the servants of his lord, but went not 
down to his house. 

14 And it came to pass in the morning, that 
David "J wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by 
the hand of Uriah. 

15 And he wrote in the letter, saying, f Set 
ye Uriah in the fore-front of the hottest battle, 
and retire ye from him, that he may be smitten, 
and die. 

1 6 And it came to pass, when Joab observed 
the city, that he "■ assigned Uriah unto a place 
where he knew that valiant men loere. 

17 And the men of the city went out and 
fought with Joab : and there fell some of the 
people of the servants of David ; and Uriah the 
Hittite died also. 

18 Then Joab sent and told David all the 
things concerning the war ; 

19 And charged the messenger, saying, When 
thou hast made an end of telling the matters of 
the war unto the king, 

20 And if so be that the king's wrath arise, 
and he say unto thee, Wherefore approached ye 
so nigh unto the city when ye did fight ? knew 
ye not that they would shoot from the wall ? 

21 Who smote ' Abimelech the son of ^ Jerub- 
besheth ? did not a woman cast a piece of a mill- 
stone upon him from the wall, that he died in 
Thebez ^ why went ye nigh the wall ? then say 
thou, Thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead 
also. 

22 So the messenger went, and came and 
shewed David all that Joab had sent him for. 

23 And the messenger said unto David, Sure- 
ly the men prevailed against us, and came out 
unto us into the field, and we were upon them 
even unto the entering of the gate. 

24 And the shooters shot from off the wall 
upon thy servants, and some of the king's ser-

Uriah went not down unto his house, David 
said unto Uriah, Camestthou not from thy jonv- 
ney ? why then didst thou not go down unto 
thine house ? 

1 1 And Uri-aK said unto David, The " ark, 
and Israel, and Judah, abide in tents; and p my 
lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are en- 
camped in the open fields : shall I then go into 
mine house, to eat, and to drink, and to lie with 
my wife ? as thou livest, and as thy soul liveth, 
I will not do this thing. 

12 And David said to Uriah, Tarry hereto- 
day also, and to-morrow i will let thee depart. 
So Uriah abode in Jerusalem that day and the 
morrow. 



tite is dead also. 

25 Then David said unto the messenger, 
Thus shalt thou say unto Joab, Let not this 
thing t displease thee ; for the sword devoureth 
t one as well as another : make thy battle more 
strong against the city, and " overthrow it ; and 
encourage thou him. 

26 IT And when the wife of Uriah heard that 
Uriah her husband was dead, she mourned for 
her husband. 

27 And when the mourning was past, David 
sent andf fetched her to his house, and she be- 
came his wife, and bare him a son. But the 
thing that David had done displeased the 
Lord.

CHAPTER XII. 

1 Nathan's parable of the ewe lamb, causeth David to be 
his own judge. 7 David, reproved by Nathan, con- 
fes.seth his sin, and is pardoned. 15 David mourneth 
and prayeth for the child, while it lived. 24 Solomon 
is born, and named Jedidiah. 26 David taketh Kab- 
bah, and tortureth the people thereof. 

ND the Lord sent "" Nathan nnto David. 
And he came unto him, and said unto him, 

^ There were two men in one city ; the one 

rich, and the other poor. 

2 Tlie rich man had exceeding ' many flocks 
and herds : 

3 But the poor man had nothing save one little 
ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished 
up ; and it grew up together with him, and with 
his children : it did eat of his own f meat, and 
drank of his own cup, and lay in his '' bosom, 
and was unto him as a daughter. 

4 And there came a * traveller unto the rich 
man; and he spared to take of his own flock, 
and of his own herd, to dress for the wayfaring 
man that was come unto him ; but took the 
poor man's lamb, and dressed it for the man that 
was come to him. 

5 And David's anger was greatly kindled 
against the man ; and he said to Nathan, As the 
Lord liveth, the man that hath done this thvn^ 
t shall surelv die : 

6 And he shall restore the lamb ^ fourfold, be- 
cause he did this thing, and because he had no pity. 

7 And Nathau said to David, ^ Thou art the 
man. Thus saitli the Lord God of Israel, '' I 
anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered 
thee out of the hand of Saul : 

8 And I gave thee thy ' master's house, and 
thy master's wives into thy '' bosom, and gave 
thee the house of Israel and of Judah ; and if 
thathad been too little, I would, moreover, have 
given unto thee such ^ and such things. 

9 Wherefore ° hast thou despised the com- 
mandment of the Lord, to do evil in his sight ? 
Thou hast killed Uriah the Hittite with the 
sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, 
and hast slain him with the sword of the chil- 
dren of Ammon. 

10 Now therefore, the ° sword shall never 
depart from thine house ; because thou hast de- 
spised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the 
Hittite to be thy wife. 

11 Thus saith the Lord, Behold, °I will raise 
up evil against thee out of thine own house, and 
I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and 
give them unto thy neighbour, and he shall lie 
with thy wives in the sight of this sun. 

12 For thou didst it secretly : but I will do 
this thing before all Israel, and before the sun. 

1 3 And David said unto Nathan, I have p sin- 
ned against the Lord. And Nathan said unto 



David, The Lord also hath f put i aw^ay thy 
sin ; thou shalt "■ not die. 

14 Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast 
given great occasion to the enemies of the Lord 
^ to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto 
thee shall surely di« 

15 ji And Nathan departed unto Jiis nouse. 
And the Lord struck the child that Uriah's 
wife bare unto David, and it was very sick. 

16 David therefore * besought God for the 
child ; and David f fasted, and went in and lay 
all night upon the earth. 

1 7 And the elders of his house arose, and ivent 
to him, to raise him up from the earth : but he 
would not, neither did he eat bread with them. 

18 And it came to pass on the seventh day 
that the child died. And the servants of David 
feared to tell him that the child was dead : for 
they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive 
we spake unto him. and he would not hearken 
unto our voice ; how will he then vex himself 
if we tell him that the child is dead ? 

19 But \\hen David saw that his servants 
whispered, David perceived that the child was 
dead : therefore David said unto his servants, 
Is the child dead ? And they said. He is dead. 

20 Then David arose from the earth, and 
washed, and " anointed himself, and changed 
his apparel, and came into the ^ house of the 
Lord, and y worshipped : then he came to his 
own house ; and when he required, they set 
bread before him, and he did eat. 

21 Then said his servants unto him. What 
thing is this that thou hast done ^ thou didst 
fast and weep for the child while it ivas alive ; 
but when the child was dead, thou didst rise 
and eat bread. 

22 And he said. While the child was yet 
alive, I fasted and wept : for I said. Who can 
tell whether God will be gracious to me, that 
the child may live ? 

23 But now he is dead, wherefore should I 
fast ? can I bring him back again? I shall go to 
him, but he shall not return to me. 

24 And David ^ comforted Bath-sheba his 
wife, and went in unto her, and lay with her : 
and she * bare a son, and he ** called his name 
II Solomon ; and the Lord " loved him. 

25 And he sent by the hand of Nathan the 
prophet ; and he caUed his name Jedidiah, be- 
cause of the Lord. 

26 T[ And Joab "^ fought against Kabbah of the 
children of Ammon, and took the royal city. 

27 And Joab sent messengers to David, and 
said, I have fought against Kabbah, and have 
taken the ® city of waters. 

28 Now therefore gather the rest of the peo- 
ple together, and encamp against the city, and

36 Behold, they have " there with them their 
two sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok's son, and Jonathan, 
Abiathar's son ; and by them ye shall send unto 
me every thing that ye can hear. 

37 So Hushai, David's ''friend, came into the 
city, and Absalom came into Jerusalem. 

CHAPTER XVI. 

1 Ziba by presents and false suggestions obtaineth his mas- 
ter's inlieritance. 5 At Bahurim, Shimei curseth Da- 
vid. 9 David with patience abstaineth and restraineth 
others from revenge. 15 Hushai insinuateth himself 
into Absalom's council. s!0 Ahithophei's counsel. 

AND when David was a little past the ^ top of 
the hill, behold, '' Ziba the servant of Me- 
phibosheth met him, with a " couple of asses 
saddled, and upon them two hundred loaves of 
bread, and an hundred bunches of raisins, and an 
hundred of summer fruits, and a bottle of wine. 

2 And the king said unto Ziba, What mean- 
est thou by these ? And Ziba said. The asses be 
for the king's household to '^ ride on ; and the 
bread and summer fruit for the young men to 
eat ; and the wine, that such as be faint in the 
wilderness may drink. 

3 And the king said. And where is thy mas- 
ter's son ? And Ziba said unto the king. Behold, 
he abideth at Jerusalem : for ^ he said, To-day 
shall the house of Israel restore me 
dom of my father. 

4 Then said the king to Ziba, Behold, ^ thine 
are all that pertained unto Mephibosheth. And 
Ziba said, f I humbly beseech thee that I may 
find grace in thy sight, my lord, O king. 

5 H And when king David came tO s Bahu- 
rim, behold, thence came out a man of the fami- 
ly of the house of Saul, whose name ?(;fl5 Shimei, 
the son of Gera : ^ he came forth, and cursed 
still as he came. 

6 And he cast stones at David, and at all the 
servants of king David : and all the people and 
all the mighty men were on his right hand and 
on his left. 

7 And thus said Shimei when he cursed, 
.,, , Come out, come out, t thou bloody man, and 

ofhlnods, r i D 1- 1

the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son : 
and, behold, thou art taken in thy mischief, be- 
cause thou art a bloody man. 

9 Then said Abishai the son of Zeruiah unto 
the king. Why should this ' dead dog curse my 
lord the king ? let me go over, I pray thee, and 
take off his head. 

10 And the king said, What have I to do with 
jou, ye sons of Zeruiah ? So let him curse, be-

AhithopheVs counsel 

cause the Lord hath said unto him, " Curse 
David. "Who shall then say, Wherefore hast 
thou done so ? 

1 1 And David said to Abishai, and to all his 20.' 
servants. Behold, my son, which came forth of 21^22!' ^~'' 
my bowels, seeketh my f life : how much more 
now TTiay this Benjamite do it? Let him alone, 
and let him curse : for the Lord hath bidden him. 

12 It may be that the Lord will look on mine 
t II affliction, and that the Lord will ° requite 
me good for his cursing this day. 

13 And as David and his men went by the 
way, Shimei went along on the hill's side over 
against him, and cursed as he went, and threw 
stones at him, and f cast dust. 

14 And the king, and all the people that ivere 
with him, came weary, and refreshed themselves 
tnere. 

15 H And Absalom, and all the people, the 
men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahitho- 
phel with him. 

16 And it came to pass, when Hushai the Ar- 
chite, David's friend, was come unto Absalom, 
that Hushai said unto Absalom, God save the 
king, God save the king. 

17 And Absalom said to Hushai, Is this thy 
kindness to thy p friend ? why wentest thou not 
with thy friend ? 

18 And Hushai said unto Absalom, Nay; 

but 1 whom the Lord, and this people, and all ^g^^^- 
the men of Israel, choose, his will I be, and 
with him will I abide. 

19 And again, whom should I serve ? should 
I not serve in the presence of his son ? As I have 
served in thy father's presence, so will I be in 
thy presence. 

20 Then said Absalom to Ahithophel, "■ Give r Ex. 1, 10. 
counsel among you what we shall do. 

21 And Ahithophel said unto Absalom, ' Go 
in unto thy father's concubines, which he hath 
' left to keep the house; and all Israel shall hear tch.i5,i6. 
that thou art abhorred of thy father : then shall 

the hands of all that are with thee be strong. 

22 So they spread Absalom a tent upon the 

" top of the house ; and Absalom went in unto his " <=''• "> ^^ 
father's concubines in the "" sight of all Israel. ^ Num.25, 

23 And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he cii. 12, u, 
counselled in those days, was as if a man had in- is^a.3,9, 
quired at the f oracle of God : so ivas all the 
counsel of Ahithophel, both with David and 
with Absalom. 

CHAPTER XVII. 

1 Ahithophei's counsel is overthrown by Hushai's, ac- 
cording to God's appointment. 15 Secret intelligence 
is sent unto David, 23 Ahithophel hangeth himself. 
25 Amasa is made captain. 27 David at Mahanaim is 
furnished with provisions.

and they went and told king David. 

18 Nevertheless a lad saw them, and told 
Absalom : but they went both of them away 
quickly, and came to a man's house in Bahurim, 



which had ""a well in his court, whither they 
went down.

7 And Hushai said unto Absalom, The coiin- 
e Prov. 31, gel that Ahithophel hath given is ^ not good ^ at 
f Eccies. 3, this time. 

'■ 8 For, said Hushai, thou knowest thy father 

and his men, that they be mighty men, and they 
be t chafed in their minds, as a bear robbed of 
her whelps in the field : and thy father is a man 
of war, and will not lodge with the people. 

9 Beiiold, he is hid now in some ^ pit, or in 
some other place : and it will come to pass, when 
some t of them be overthrown, at the first, that 
whosoever heareth it will say, There is a slaugh- 
ter among the people that follow Absalom. 

10 And he also that z.st valiant, whose heart is 
as the heart of a lion, shall utterly ^ meit : for all 
Israel knoweth that thy father is a mighty man, 
and they which be with him are valiant men. 

11 Therefore I counsel, that all Israel be 
generally gathered unto thee, ' from Dan even 
to Beer-sheba, ^ as the sand that is by the sea 
for multitude, and that ' thou go to f battle in 
thine own person. 

12 So shall we come upon him in some place 
where he shall be found, and we will light upon 
him as the dew fallcth on the ground : and of 
him and of all the men that are with him there 
shall not be left so much as one. 

13 Moreover, if he be gotten into a city, then 
^0^ lo'"^^ ^^^^^^ '^^^ Israel bring " ropes to that city, and we 

will draw it into the river, until there be not one

14 And Absalom and all the men of Israel

Loi.ll\ had t appointed to defeat the " good

20 And when Absalom's servants came to the

And when they had sought and could not find

thee. And he took three darts in his hand, and

and reared up for himself a '' pillar, which is in 
the king's dale : for he said, I have ^ no son to 
keep my name in remembrance : and he called

hundreds and by thousands

and Ittai, saying, ^ Deal gently for my sake with 
the young man, even with Absalom. And all 
the people heard when the king gave all the 
captains charge concerning Absalom. 

6 So the people went out into the field 
against Israel : and the battle was in the ^ vv^ood 
of Ephraim ; 

7 Where the people of Israel were slain before 
the servants of David; and there was there 'a 
great slaughter that day of twenty thousand men. 

8 For the battle was there scattered over the 
face of all the country : and the wood f devoured 

Tuiiiiedio more people that day than the sword devoured. 

9 And Absalom met the servants of David. 
And Absalom rode upon a mule, and the mule 
went under the thick boughs of a great oak, and 
his ''head caught hold of the oak, and he was 
taken up between the heaven and the earth ; and

19 Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok, Let 
me now run and bear the king tidings, how that 
the Lord hath f avenged him of his enemies. 

20 And Joab said unto him, f Thou shalt not 
bear tidings this day, but thou shalt bear tidings 
another day ; but this day thou shalt bear no 
tidings, because the king's son is dead. 

21 Then said Joab to || Cushi, Go tell the 
king what thou hast seen. And Cushi bowed 
himself unto Joab, and ran. 

22 Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok, 
yet again to Joab, But, howsoever, let me, I 
pray thee, also run after Cushi. And Joab said, 
Wherefore wilt thou run, my son, seeing that 
thou hast no tidings ready ? 

23 But, howsoever, said he, let me run. And 
he said unto him, Run. Then Ahimaaz ran by 
the way of the plain, and overran Cushi. 

24 And David sat between the * two gates : 
and the watchman went up to the roof over the 
gate unto the wall, and bfted up his eyes, and

27 And the watchman said, f Methinketh the 
running of the foremost is like the running of 
Ahimaaz the son of Zadok. And the king said, 
He is "" a good man, and cometh with good tidings. 

28 And Ahimaaz called, and said unto the 
king, All is well. And he fell down to the 
earth upon his face before the king, and said, 
Blessed be the Lord thy God, which hath 
^ delivered up the men that lifted up their hand 
against my lord the king. 

29 And the king said, f Is the young man Ab- 
salom safe.? And Ahimaaz answered. When Joab 
sent the king's servant, and me thy servant, I 
saw a great tumult, but I knew not what it teas. 

30 And the king said ?»2^o Am, Turn aside, rmJ 
stand here. And he turned aside, and -stood still. 

31 And, behold, Cuslii came ; and Cushi 
said, Tidings, my lord the king : for the Lord 
hath y avenged thee this day of all them that 
rose up against thee. 

32 And the king said unto Cushi, Is the 
young man Absalom safe ? And Cushi answer- 
ed, The enemies of my lord the king, and all 
that rise against thee to do thee hurt, be as that 
young man is. 

33 And the king was much moved, and went 
up to the chamber over the gate, and wept ; and 
as he went, thus he said, O my son Absalom ! 
my son, my son Absalom ! f would God I had 
died for thee, O Absalom, my son, my son !

ND it was told Joab, Behold, the king 
weepeth and mourneth for Absalom. 

2 And the f victory that day was turned into 
» mourning unto all the people : for the people 
heard say that day how the king was grieved 
for his son. 

3 And the people gat them by stealth that 
day into the city, as people being ashamed steal 
away when they flee in battle. 

bch,i5,30. 4 Biit the king '^covered his face, and the 
king cried with a loud voice, O my son Absa- 
lom ! O Absalom, my son, my son ! 

5 And Joab came into the house to the king, 
and said. Thou hast shamed this day the faces 
of all thy servants, which this day have saved 
thy life, and the lives of thy sons, and of thy 
daughters, and the lives of thy wives, and the 
lives of thy concubines ;

vants : for this day I perceive, iliat if Absalom 
had lived, and all we had died this day, then 
•= it had pleased thee well. 

7 Now therefore, arise, go forth, and speak 
t comfortably unto thy servants : for I swear by 
the Lord, if thou go not forth, there will not 
tarry "^ one with thee this night : and that will 
be worse unto thee than all the evil that befell 
thee from thy youth until now. 

8 Then the king arose, and sat in the " gate. 
And they told unto all the people, saying, Be- 
hold, the king doth sit in the gate. And all the 
people came before the king ; '' for Israel had 
fled, every man to his tent. 

9 And all the people were sat strife throughout 
all the tribes of Israel, saying. The king saved us 
out of the hand of our enemies, and he delivered 
us out of the hand of the Philistines ; and now 
he is fled out of the land for Absalom. 

10 And Absalom, whom ''we anointed over us, 
is dead in battle. Now, therefore, why f speak 
ye not a word of bringing the king back ? 

1 1 And king David sent to ' Zadok and to 
A])iathar the priests, saying. Speak unto the 
elders of Judah, saying. Why are ye ^ the !ast 
to bring the king back to his house ? seeing the 
speech of all Israel is come to the king, even 
to his house. 

12 Ye are my brethren, ye ' are my bones 
and my flesh : wherefore then are ye the last to 
bring back the king ? 

13 And say ye to " Amasa, Art thou not of 
my bone, and of my flesh ? God do so to me, and 
more also, if thou be not captain of the host be- 
fore me continually in the " room of Joab. 

14 And he bowed the heart of all the men 
of Judah, even as the heart of ° one man ; so 
that they sent this word unto the king. Return 
thou, and ail thy servants. 

15 So the king returned, and came to Jordan. 
And Judah came to '' GiJgal, to go to meet the 
king, to conduct the king over Jordan. 

16 And "i Sliimei the son of Gera, a Benja- 
mite, which loas of' Bahurim, ^hasted, and came 
down with the men of Judah to meet king David. 

17 And tJtere were a thousand men of Ben- 
jamin with him, and ' Ziba the servant of the 
house of Saul, and his " fifteen sons and his 
twenty servants with him ; and they went over 
Jordan before the king. 

18 And there went over a ferry-boat to carry 
over the king's household, and to do f what 
he thought good. And Shimei the son of Gera 
fell down before the king, as he was come over 
Jordan ; 

19 And said unto the king. Let not my lord 
impute iniquity unto me, neither do thou re- 
member that which thy servant did " perversely

the day that my lord the king went out of Jeru- 
salem, that the king should take it to his heart. 

20 For thy servant doth know that 1 have 
sinned : therefore, behold, I am come ? the first 
this day of all the house of Joseph, to go down 
to meet my lord the king. 

21 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered 
and said. Shall not Shimei be ^ put to death for 
this, because he cursed the Lord's anointed ? 

22 And David said. What have I to do with 
you, ye sons of Zeruiah, that ye should this day 
be t adversaries unto me ? Shall there any man 
l)e put to death this day in Israel ? for do not I 
know that I am this day king over Israel ? 

23 Therefore the king said unto Shimei, Thou 
shalt ^ not die. And the king sware unto him. 

24 And Mephibosheth the son ^ of Saul came 
down to meet the king, and had neither "^ dress- 
ed his feet, nor trimmed his beard, nor ^ wash- 
ed his clothes, from the day the king departed 
until the day he came again in peace. 

25 And it came to pass, when he was come 
to Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king 
said unto him, Wherefore wentest not thou with 
me, Mephibosheth ? 

26 And he answered, My lord, O king, my 
servant deceived me : for thy servant said, I 
will saddle me an ass, that I may ride thereon, 
and go to tlie king ; because thy servant is lame. 

27 And he hath ^ slandered thy servant unto 
my lord the king ; but my lord the king is as 
an angel of God : do, therefore, ivhat is good 
in thine eyes. 

28 For all of my father's house were but 
dead men before my lord the king : yet didst 
thou set thy servant among them that did eat at 
thine own table. What |] right, therefore, have 
I yet to cry any more unto the king ? 

29 And the king said unto him, Why speak- 
est thou any more of thy matters ? ^ I have said. 
Thou and Ziba divide the land. 

30 And Mephibosheth said unto the king. Yea, 
let him take all, forasmuch as my lord the king 
is come again in peace unto his own house. 

31 And s Barzillai the Gileadite came down 
fi-om Rogelim, and went over Jordan whh the 
king, to conduct him over Jordan. 

32 Now Barzillai was a very aged man, even 
fourscore years old : and he had provided the 
king of sustenance while he lay at Mahanaim ; 
for he ivas a very great man. 

33 And the king said unto Barzillai, Come 
thou over with me, and I will feed thee with 
me in Jerusalem. 

34 And Barzillai said unto the king, f How 
•" long have I to live, that I should go up with 
the king unto Jerusalem ? 

35 I am this day ' fourscore years old ; and 



can I ^ discern between good and evil ? can thy 
servant taste what I eat or what I drink ? can I 
hear any more the voice of singing-men and 
singing- women ? wherefore then should thy ser- 
vant be yet a burden unto my lord the king ? 

SQ Thy servant v;\\\ go a little way over Jor- 
dan with the king ; and why should the king 
recompense it me with such a reward ? 

37 Let thy servant, I pray thee, turn back 
again, that I may die in mine own city, and he 
buried by the grave of my father and of my 
mother : but, behold, thy servant ' Chimham, 
let him go over with my lord the king ; and do to 
him what shall seem good unto thee. 

38 And the king answered, Chimham shall go 
over with me, and I will do to him that which 
shall seem good unto thee : and whatsoever thou 
shalt require of me, that will 1 do for thee. 

39 And all the people went over Jordan. 
And when the king was come over, the king 
" kissed Barzillai, and " blessed him ; and he 
returned unto his own place. 

4Q Then the king went on to Gilgal, and 
Chimham went on with him : and all the peo- 
ple of Judah conducted the king, and also half 
the people of Israel. 

41 And, behold, all the men of Israel came to 
the king, and said unto the king. Why have our 
brethren, the men of Judah, stolen thee away, 
and have ° brought the king and his household, 
and all David's men with him, over Jordan ? 

42 And all the men of Judah answered the 
men of Israel, Because the king is near of kin 
to us : wherefore then be ye angry for this mat- 
ter ? have we eaten at all of the king's cost ? or 
hath he given us any gift ? 

43 And the men of Israel answered the men 
of Judah, and said, p We have tenf parts in the 
king, and we have also more right in David 
than ye : why then did ye f despise us, that our 
advice should not be first had in bringing back 
our king ? And the f words of the men of Judah 
•J were fiercer than the words of the men of Israel 

CHAPTER XX. 

1 By occasion of the quarrel, ^eba maketh a party in 
Israel. 3 David's ten concubines are shut up in per- 
petual prison. 4 Amasa, made captain over Judah, is 
slain by Joab. 14 Joab pursueth Sheba unto Abel. 
16 A wise woman saveth the city by Sheba's head. 23 
David's officers. 

ND there happened to be "^ there a man of 
*> Belial, whose name luas Sheba, the son 
of Bichri, a Benjamite ; and he blew ' a trumpet, 
and said. We have '^ no part in David, neither 
have we inheritance in the son of Jesse : every 
man to his tents, O Israel. 

2 So every man of Israel went up from after 
David, and followed Sheba the son of Bichri :

3 5 And David came to his house at Jerusa- 
lem ; and the king took the ^ ten women his con- 
cubines, whom he had left to keep the house, 
and put them in ^ ward, and fed them, but "^ went 
not in unto them : so they wxre shut up unto 
the day of their death, living in widowhood. 

4 Then said the king to ' Amasa, Assemble 
me the men of Judah within three days, and 
be thou here present. 

b So Amasa went to assemble the men of 3u- 
dah ; but he tarried longer than the set time 
which he had appointed him. 

6 And David said to ^ Abishai, Now shall 
Sheba the son of Biclni do us more harm than 
did Absalom : take thou thy ' lord's servants, 
and pursue after him, lest he get him fenced 
cities, and escape us. 

7 And there went out after him, Joab's men, 
and the " Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and 
a!l the mighty men : and they went out of 
Jerusalem, to pursue after Sheba the son of 
Bichri. 

8 When they loere at the great stone ° wliich i 
is in Gibeon, Amasa went before them. And 
Joab's garment that he had put on was girded 
unto him, and upon it a girdle ivilh a sword 
fastened upon his loins in the sheath thereof; 
and as lie Avent forth it fell out. 

9 And Joab said to Amasa, f Art thou in 
health " my brother ? And Joab took Amasa by 
the beard with the right hand to p kiss him. 

10 But Amasa took no heed to the sword 
that was in Joal>'s hand : so he smote him there- 
with in the fifth "» rib, and shed out his bowels 
to the ground, and struck him not again ; and 
he died. So Joab and Abisluii his brother pur- 
sued after Sheba the son of Bichri. 

1 ] And one of Joab's men stood by him, and 



f wall, to throw it down. 

\ 16 Then cried " a wise woman out of the 




city. Hear, hear ; say, I pray you, unto Joab, u. is.' ' 
Come near hither, that I may speak with thee. 

17 And when he was come near unto her, the 
woman said, Art thou Joab.? And he answered, I 
am he. Then she said unto him, Hear the words 
of thine handmaid. And he answered, I do hear. 

18 Then she spake, saying, They were wont to 
speak in old time, saying. They shall surely ^ ask ^^P^"^- ~^' 
counsel at Abel : and so they ended the matter. Jo'sh.g, u 

19 1 am one f of them that are peaceable and [ "hcV^c/ 
faithful ill Israel : thou seekest to destroy a city 'M-'^ac«uto 
and a mother in Israel : why wilt thou swallow y«!V/i>/. 
up the inheritance of the Loud ? etMn''rhV* 

20 And Joab answered and said, Far be it, far ^^^ly/f^^ 
be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy, c-en. 18,23. 

21 The matter w not so: but a man >' of mount 6."'"' ' ' 
Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, hath 1^°^' ^^' 
lifted up his hand against the king, even against ^■«'"s<= *• 
David : deliver him only, and I will depart from 
the city. And the woman said unto Joab, Behold, 
^his head shall be thro\An to thee over the wall. 2 verses 11 

22 Then the woman went unto all the people ^^' 
=* in her wisdom : and they cut off the head of " EccI. 9, 
Slicba the son of Bichri, and cast it out to Joab. 
And he blew a trumpet, and they f retired from tHcb. were

CHAPTER XXII. 

A psalm of thanksgiving for God's powerful delivercince 
and manifold blessings. 

A ND David spake unto the Lord the words 
-^^ of this '^ song, in the day that ^ the Lord aEx.15, i. 
had delivered him out of the hand of all his en- 19. ^^'■^*' 
emies, and out of the hand of ' Saul : 

2 And he said. The Lord is my rock, and 
my fortress, and my "^ deliv^erer ; 

3 The God of my rock ; in him will I ^ trust: 
he is my ^ shield, and the horn of my salvation, 
my high tower, and my refuge, my ^ saviour ; 
thou savest me from violence. 

4 I will call on the Lord, ivho is worthy to be 
praised : so shall I be saved from mine enemies. 

5 When the ^ waves of death compas.sed me, 
the floods of ungodly men made me afraid ; 

6 The ' sorrows of hell compassed me about ; 
the ^ snares of death prevented me. 

7 In my distress ' I called upon the Lord, and f Acts'i2,5. 
cried to my God ; and he did hear my voice out 
of his temple, and my cry " did enter into his ears. 

8 Then the ° earth shook and trembled ; the 
° foundations of heaven moved and shook, be- 
cause he was wroth. 

9 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, 
and P fire out of his mouth devoured : coals were p.He^J- 12, 
kindled by it.

13 So Gad came to David, and to'.- ; iin, and 
said unto him, (| Shall seven y^ i*' of famine

pursue thee ? or that there be three days' pesti- Ji'mt^''"'^*

14 And David said unto Gad, I am in a great t'/i"/,'^^''

16 And when the angel stretched out his hand 
upon Jerusalem to destroy it, the Lord repent-

stroyed the people. It is ^ enough ; stay now ^^f l^'i'^-

1 8 And Gad came that day to David, and said 
unto him, "" Go up, rear an altar unto the Lord 
in the threshin£.-floor of Araunah the Jebusite. 



Joab, and against the captains of the 
host : and Joab and the captains of the host 
•^ went out from the presence of the king, to 
number the people of Israel. 

5 And they passed over Jordan, and pitched in 
^ Aroer, on the right side of the city that lieth in 
the midst of the river of Gad, and toward ' Jazer : 

6 Then thev came to Gilead, and to the land 
of Tahtini-hodshi ; and they came to ^ Dan- 
jaan, and about to '' Zidon, 

7 And came to the strong hold of Tyre, and 
to all the cities of the Hivites, m\d of the Ca- 
naanites : and they w ent out to the south of Ju- 
dah, even to Beer-sheba, 

8 So when they had gone through all the 
land, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine 
months and twenty days. 

9 And Joab gave up the sum of the number 
of the people unto the king : and there were in 
Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men that 
drew the sword ; and the men of J udah were 
five hundred thousand men. 

10 And David's Iieart ' smote him after that 
he had numbered the people. And David said 
unto the Lord, I have ^ sinned greatly in that 
I have done : and now, I beseech thee, O Lord, 
' take away the iniquity of ihy servant; for I 
have done very foolishly.

20 And Araunah looked, and saw the king 
and his servants coming on toward him : and 
Araunah went out, and bowed himself before 
the king on his face upon the ground. 

21 And Araunah said. Wherefore is my lord 
the king come to his servant ? And David said. 
To buy the threshing-floor of thee, to build an 

altar unto the Lord, that ^ the plague may be 43^'"'"- ^® 
stayed from the people. 

22 And Araunah said unto David, Let my 
lord the king take and offer up what seemeth 
good unto him : behold, here he oxen for burnt- 
sacrifice, and threshing-instruments and other m- 
struments of the " oxen for wood. a Deut. 25, 

23 All these thins-s did Araunah, as a king, Rom. 25, 4. 
give unto the king : and Araunah said unto the - ' 
king. The Lord thy God "accept thee. 

24 And the king said unto Araunah, Nay ; 
but I will surely buy it of thee at a price : nei- 
ther will I offer burnt-offerings unto the Lord 
my God of that which doth cost me nothing. 
So David bought the threshing-floor and the 
oxen for " fifty shekels of silver. 

25 And David built there an altar unto the 
Lord, and offered burnt-offerings and peace-

CHAPTER I. 

1 Abishag cherisheth David in his extreme age : 5 Ado- 
nijah, David's darling, usiirpeth tiie kingdom. 11 By 
the counsel if Nathan, 13 Bath-sheba moveth thekino-, 
22 and Nathan secondeth her. 28 David reneweth 
his oath to Bath-sheba. 32 Solomon, by David's ap- 
pointment, being anointed king by Zadok and Nathan, 
the people triumph. 41 Jonajhan bringing the news, 
Adonijah's guests tlee. 50 Adonijah, fleeing to the 
horns of the altar, upon his good behaviour is dismissed 
by Solomon. 

IVrOW king David was ^ old and stricken in 
-L ^ years ; and they covered him with clothes, 
but he gat no heat. 

2 Wherefore his ^servants said unto him, Let 
there be sought for my lord the king a young 
virgin ; and let her *= stand before the king, and 
let her cherish him, and let her lie in thy'' bosom, 
that my lord the king may get ^ heat. 

3 So they sought for a fair damsel through- 
out all the coasts of Israel, and found Abishas: 
^a Shunammite, and brought her to the king. 

4 And the damsel was very fair, and cherish- 
ed the king, and ministered to him: but the king 
s knew her not. 

5 H Then •■ Adonijah the son of Haggith " ex- 
alted himself, saying, ""I will be king: and he 
prepared him chariots and horsemen, and fifty 
men to run before him. 

6 And his father had not displeased him at 
any time in saying, Why hast thou done so ? and 
he ' also ivas a very goodly man ; and his mother 
bare him after Absafom. 

7 And he ^ conferred with Joab the son of 
Zeruiah, and with ° Abiathar the priest : and 
they, following Adonijah, helped him. 

8 But Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son 
of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, 
anrl Rei, and the ° mighty men which belonged 
to David, were not with Adonijah. 

9 And Adonijah p slew sheep and oxen and fat 
cattle by the stone of Zoheleth, which why En- 
rogel, and called all his brethren the king's sons, 
and all the men of Judah the king's servants: 

* 10 But Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, 
and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother, 
he called not. 

11 Wherefore Nathan "J spake unto Bath-sheba 
the mother of Solomon, saying, Hast thou not 
heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith doth 
reign, and David our lord knoweth it not ? 

12 Now therefore come, f let me, I pray thee, 
give thee counsel, that thou mayest f save thine 
own life, and the life of thy son Solomon. 

13 Go and get thee in unto king David, and 



say unto him, Didst not thou, my lord, O king, 
'swear unto thine handmaid, saying. Assuredly 
Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he 
shall ^sit upon my throne.^ why then doth 
Adonijah reign ? 

14 Behold, while thou yettalkest there with 
the king, I also will come in after thee, and 
t confirm thy words. 

15 And Bath-sheba went in unto the king into 
the chamber : and the king was very old ; and Ab- 
ishag the Shunammite ministered unto the king. 

16 And Bath-sheba bowed, and did obeisance

30 Even as I sware unto thee by the Lord

31 Then Bath-sheba bowed with her face to

said, Let my lord king David live ''for ever. 

32 And king David said, Call me Zadok the 
priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the

33 The king also said unto them. Take with 
you the servants of your lord, and cause Solo-

bring him down to "^ Gihon : 

34 And let Zadok the priest and Nathan the

43 And Jonathan answered and said to Ado- 
nijah, Verily our lord king David hath made So- 
lomon king. 

44 And the king hath sent with him Zadok 
the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah 
the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites, and 
the Pelethites, and they have caused him to ride 
upon the king's mule : 

45 And Zadok the priest and Nathan the pro- 
phet have anointed him king in Gihon ; and 
they are 'come up from thence rejoicing, so that 
the city rang again. This is the noise that yc 
have heard. 

46 And also Solomon * sitteth on the throne 
of the kingdom. 

47 And, moreover, the king's servants came 
"to bless our lord king David, saying, God make 
the name of Solomon better than thy name, and 
make his throne greater than thy throne. And 
the king ^ bowed himself upon the bed. 

48 And also thus said the king. Blessed be the 
Lord God of Israel, which hath given one to sit 
on my throne this day, mine eyes even seeing it. 

49 And all the guests that ivere with Adoni- 
jah were afraid, and rose up, and went every 
man his way. 

50 And Adonijah feared because of Solo- 
mon, and arose, and went, and caught hold on 
the y horns of the "^ altar. 

51 And it was told Solomon, saying. Behold, 
Adonijah feareth king Solomon : foi; lo, he hath 
caught hold on the horns of the altar, saying. 
Let king Solomon swear unto me to-day, that 
he will not slay his servant with the sword. 

52 And Solomon said. If he will shew himself 
a worthy man, there shall not " an hair of him 
fall to the earth : but if wickedness shall be 
found in him, he shall ^die. 

53 So king Solomon sent, and they brought 
him down from the altar. And he came and 
bowed himself to king Solomon : and Solomon 
said unto him, ' Go to thine house.

7 But shew kindness unto the " sons of Bar- 
zillai the Gileadite, and let them be of those 
that P eat at thy table : for so they came to me 
when I fled because of Absalom thy brother. 

8 And, behold, thou hast with thee Shimei the 
son of Gera, a Bcnjamite of Bahiirim, which 
cursed me with a f grievous curse in the day 
when I went to Mahanaim : but he came down 
to meet me at Jordan, and I sware to him b^^ 
the Lord, saying, I will not put thee to death 
with the sword. 

9 Now therefore '^ hold him not guiltless; for 
thou art a wise man, and knowest what thou 
oughtest to do unto him ; but his hoar head 
bring thou down to the grave with blood. 

10 So David "■ slept with his fathers, and was 
buried in the ^ city of David. 

11 And the days that David 'reigned over 
Israel ivere forty years : seven years reigned he 
in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned 
he in Jerusalem. 

12 Then "sat Solomon upon the throne of 
David his father ; and his kingdom was esta- 
blished greatly. 

13 And Adonijah the son of Haggith came 
to Bath-sheba the mother of Solomon. And 
she said, Comest thou f peaceably ? And he 
said. Peaceably. 

14 He said moreover, I have somewhat to 
say unto thee. And she said. Say on. 

16 And he said, Thou knowest that the king- 
dom '^ was mine, and that all Israel set their faces 
on me, that I should reign : howbeit the king- 
dom is turned about, and is become my bro- 
ther's ; for it was his ^ from the Lord. 

1 6 And now I ask one petition of thee, t de- 



ny me not. And she said unto him. Say on. 

17 And he said. Speak, I pray thee, unto Solo- 
mon the king, (for he will not say thee nay,) that 
he give me Abishag the Shunammite to wife. 

18 And Bath-sheba said, ^ Well ; I will speak 
for thee unto the king. 

19 Bath-sheba therefore went unto king So- 
lomon, to speak unto him for Adonijah. And 
the king rose up to meet her, and " bowed him- 
self unto her, and sat down on his throne, and 
caused a seat to be set for the king's mother ; 
and she sat ^ on his right hand. 

20 Then she said, I desire one small petition 
of thee ; I pray thee, say me not nay. And the 
king said unto her. Ask on, my mother ; for I 
will not say thee nay. 

21 And she said, Let "= Abishag the Shunam- 
mite be given to Adonijah thy brother to wife. 

22 And king Solomon answered and said un- 
to his mother. And why dost thou ask Abishag 
the Shunammite for Adonijah ? ask for him ''the 
khigdom also ; for he is mine elder brother ; 
even for him, and for ^ Abiathar the priest, and 
for Joal) the son of Zeruiah. 

23 Then king Solomon sware by the Lord, 
saying, God do so to me, and more also, if Adoni- 
jah have not spoken this word against his own life. 

24 Now therefore, a.9the Lord liveth, which 
hath established me, and ^ set me on the throne 
of David my father, and who hath made me 
s an house, as he '' promised, Adonijah shall be 
' put to death this day. 

25 And king Solomon sent by the hand of 
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada ; and he ^ fell upon 
him that he died. 

26 And unto Abiathar the priest said the king. 
Get thee to ' Anathoth, unto thine own fields ; 
for thou art " worthy of death : but I will not 
" at this time put thee to death, because thou 
barest the ark of the Lord God before David 
my father, and because thou hast ° been afflicted 
in all wherein my father was afflicted. 

27 So Solomon thrust out Abiathar from be- 
ing priest unto the Lord ; that he might p fulfil 
the word of the Lord, which he spake concern- 
ing the house of Eli in ^ Shiloh. 

28 Then tidings came to Joab : (for Joab 
had ' turned after Adonijah, though he turned 
not after Absalom :) and Joab fled unto the ta- 
bernacle of the Lord, and caught hold on tiie 
^ horns of the altar. 

29 And it wasi^oldking Solomon that Joab was 
fled unto the tabernacle of tlie Lord ; and, behold, 
he is by the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah 
the son of Jehoiada, saying. Go fall upon him. 

30 And Benaiah came to the tabernacle of the 
Lord, and said unto him. Thus saith the king. 
Come forth. And he said, Nay ; but I will die

here. And Benaiah brought the king word again, 
saying, Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me. 

31 And the king said unto him, Do as he 
hath said, and ' fall upon him, and " bury him ; 
that thou "^ mayest take away the innocent 
blood, which Joab shed, from me, and from the 
house of my father. 

32 And the Lord shall return his blood ^ up- 
on his own head, who fell upon two men 
more righteous and better than he, and slew 
them with the sword, my father David not know- 
ing thereof, to wit, Abner the son of Ner, captain 
of the host of Israel, and Amasa the son of Je- 
ther, captain of the host of Judah. 

QS Their f blood shall therefore return upon 
the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed 
for ever : but upon David, and upon his seed, 
and upon his house, and upon his throne, shall 
there be ^ peace for ever from the Lord. 

34 So Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up, 
and fell upon him, and slew him ; and he was 
buried in his own house in the "" wilderness. 

35 And the king '' put Benaiah the son of Je- 
hoiada in his room over the host ; and Zadok the 
priest did the king put in the room of Abiathar. 

SQ ^ And the king sent and called for " Shi- 
mei, and said unto him. Build thee an house 
•^ in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and go not forth 
thence any whither. 

37 For it shall be, that on the day thou goest 
out, and passest over the brook '^ Kidron, thou 
shalt know for certain that thou shalt surely die : 
^ thy blood shall be upon thine own head. 

33 And Shimei said unto the king. The say- 
ing 8 is good : as my lord the king hath said, so 
will thy servant do. And Shimei dwelt in Jeru- 
salem many days. 

39 And it came to pass, at the end of three 
3'ears, that two of the servants of Shimei ran 
away unto "^ Achish son of'Maachah, king of 
Gath : and they told Shimei, saying. Behold, thy 
servants he in Gath. 

40 And Shimei arose, and saddled h's ass, and 
^ went to Gath, to Achish, to seek his servants: and 
Shimei went, and brought his servants from Gath. 

41 And it was told Solomon that Shimei had 
gone from Jerusalem to Gath,and was come again. 

42 And the king sent and called for Shimei, 
and said unto him. Did I not make thee to 'swear 
by the Lord, and protested unto thee, saying. 
Know for a certain, that on the day thou goest 
out, and walkest abroad any whither, that thou 
shalt surely die ? and thou saidst unto me. The 
word that I have heard is good. 

43 Why then hast thou not kept the " oath 
of the Lord, and the commandment that I have 
charged thee with ? 

44 The king said, moreover, to Shimei, "Thou

CHAPTER IIL Solomon's choice of wisdom. 

knowest all the wickedness which thine heart 
is privy to, that " thou didst to David my father : 
therefore the Lord shall p return thy wickedness 
upon thine own head : 

45 And king Solomon shall he i blessed, and 
the throne of David ' shall be established before 
the Lord for ever. 

46 So the king commanded Benaiah the son 
of Jehoiada; which went out, and fell upon him, 
that he died. And the ' kingdom was establish- 
ed in the hand of Solomon. 

CHAPTER III. 

1 Solomon marrieth Pharaoh's daughter. 2 High places 
being in use, Solomon sacrificeth at Gibeon. 6 Solo- 
mon at Gibeon, in the choice which God gave him, 
preferring wisdom, obtaineth wisdom, riches, and ho- 
nour. 16 Solomon's judgment between the two harlots 
maiceth him renowned. 

ND Solomon made =" affinity with Pharaoh 
king of Egypt, and ''took Pharaoh's daugh- 
ter, and brought her into the " city of David, un- 
til he had made an end of building his '' own 
house, and the house of the Lord, and the ® wall 
of Jerusalem round about. 

2 Only the people sacrificed in ^ high places, 
because there was ^ no house built unto the 
name of the Lord until those days. 

3 And Solomon ^ loved the Lord, 
in the statutes of David his father : only he sa- 
crificed and burnt incense in high places. 

4 And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice 
there ; for that was ^ the great high place : a 
thousand burnt-oiferings did Solomon offer up- 
on that altar. 

5 In Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon 
in ' a dream by ■" night : and God said, " Ask 
what I shall give thee. 

6 And Solomon said. Thou hast shewed unto 
thy servant David my father great mercy, ac- 
cording as he walked before thee ° in truth, and 
'■ in righteousness, and in '' uprightness of heart 
with thee ; and thou hast kept "^ftr him this great 
kindness, that thou hast given him a son to sit 
on his throne, as it is this day. 

7 And now, O Lord my God, ' thou hast 
made thy servant king instead of David my la- 
ther ; and ' I am but a little child : I know not 
hoiv " to go out or come in. 

8 And thy servant is in the midst of thy people 
which thou hast ^ chosen, a great people, that 
>' cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude. 

9 ^ Give therefore thy servant an understand- 
ing heart " to judge thy people, that I may "dis- 
cern between good and bad : for who is able to 
judge this thy so great a people .'' 

10 And the speech pleased tht Lord, that 
Solomon had asked this thing. 

1 1 And God said unto him. Because thou hast 
asked this thing, and hast not asked "^ for thyself

self, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies ; 
but hast asked for thyself understanding to dis-

12 Behold, ^ I have done according to thy 
word : lo, I have given thee " a wise and an un-

thou hast ^ not asked, both riches and honour ;

like unto thee all thy days. 

14 And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep 
my statutes and my commandments ^ as thy father 
David did walk, then I will ' lengthen thy days. 

15 And Solomon awoke ; and, behold, it was 
^ a dream. And he came to Jerusalem, and stood 
before ' the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and 
offered up burnt-offerings, and offered peace-of-

17 And the one woman said, p O my lord, I 
and this woman dwell in one house ; and I was 
delivered of a child with her in the house. 

18 And it came to pass, the third day after that! 
was delivered, that this woman was delivered 
also : and we ivere together ; there was no stranger 
with us in the house, save we two in the house. 

19 And this woman's child died in the night ; 
because she overlaid it. 

20 And she arose "J at midnight, and took my 
son from beside me, while thine handmaid slept, 
and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child 
in my bosom. 

21 And when I arose in the morning to give 
my child *■ suck, behold, it was dead ; but when 
I had considered it in the morning, behold, it 
was not my son which I did bear. 

22 And the other woman said, Nay ; but the 
living is ray son, and the dead is thy son. And 
this said. No ; but the dead is thy son, and the 
living 15 my son. Thus thej- spake before the king. 

23 Then said the king, The one saith. This 
is my son that liveth, and thy son is the dead : 
and the other saith. Nay ; but thy son is the 
dead, and my son is the living.

21 And Solomon reigned '^ over all kingdoms 
from the river unto the land of the Philistines, and 
unto the border of Egypt : they brought ^ pre- 
sents, and served Solomon all the days of his life. 

22 And Solomon's f provision for one day 
was jl thirty measures of fine flour, and || three-

23 Ten fat oxen, and twenty oxen out of the 
pastures, and an hundred sheep, beside harts, and 
roebucks, and fallow deer, and fatted fowl. 

24 For he had dominion over all the region on

^ over all the kin^s on this side the river : and 
he had peace on all sides round about him. 

23 And Judah and Israel ''dwelt safely, every 
man^under his vine and under his fig-tree, from

26 And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of 
horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand

27 And those officers provided victual for 
king Solomon, and for all that came unto king 
Solomon's table, every man in his month: they 
lacked nothing.

^ dromedaries brought the}' unto the place where 
the officers were, every man according to his 
charge. 

29 And ' God gave Solomon wisdom and un- 
derstanding exceeding much, and f largeness of 
heart, even as the sand that is on the sea-shore. 

30 And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wis- 
dom of all the children of the " east country, 
and all the wisdom of ' Egypt. 

31 For he was •" wiser than all men ; than 
"Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman,and "Chalcol, 
and Darda, the sons of Mahol : and his fame was 
in all nations round about. 

32 And he spake three thousand ^ proverbs : 
and his "J songs were a thousand and five. 

SS And he spake of trees, from the cedar-tree 
that is in Lebanon even unto the hyssop that 
springeth out of the wall : he spake also of beasts, 
and of fowl, and of creeping things, and of fishes. 

34 And there came of ■■ all people to hear the 
wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth, 
which had heard of his wisdom. 
CHAPTER V. 

1 Hiram, sending to congratulate Solomon, is certified 
of his purpose to build the temple, and desired to 
furnish him with timber thereto. 7 Hiram, blessing 
God for Solomon, and requesting food for his family, 
furnisheth him with trees. 13 The number of Solo- 
mon's workmen and labourers. 
A ND =" Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants 

•^-^ unto Solomon ; (for he had heard that they 



had anointed him king in the room of his father;) 
for Hiram f was ever a lover of David. 

2 And "^ Solomon sent to Hiram, saying, 

3 Thou knowest how that David my father 
could not 'build an house "^unto the name of 
the Lord his God, for the " wars which were 
about him on every side, until the Lord put 
them ^ under the soles of his feet. 

4 But now the Lord my God hath given me 
^rcst on every side, so that there is neither ad- 
versary nor evil occurrent. 

5 And, behold, I purpose to build an house 
unto the '' name of the Lord my God, ' as the 
Lord spake unto David my father, saying. Thy 
son whom I will set upon thy throne in thy 
room, he shall build an house unto my name. 

6 Now therefore command thou that they hew 
me ''cedar-trees out of Lebanon; and my ser- 
vants shall be with thy servants: and unto thee 
will I give hire for thy servants, according to 
all that thou shalt appoint : for thou knowest 
that tliere is not among us any that can skill to 
hew timber like unto the ' Sidonians. 

7 And it came to pass, " when Hiram heard 
the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, 
and said. Blessed be f the Lord this day, which 
hath given unto David a wise son o\'er this 
great people. 

8 And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have 
considered the things which thou sentest to me 
for: and I will do all thy desire concerning tim- 
ber of cedar, and concerning timber of fir. 

9 My servants shall bring them down from 
° Lebanon unto the sea; and I will convey them 
by sea in floats unto the place that thou shalt ap- 
point me, and will cause them to be discharged 
there, and thou shalt receive them : and thou 
shalt accomplish my desire in giving lood for 
my ° household. 

10 So Hiram gave Solomon cedar-trees and 
fir-trees, according to all his desire. 

1 1 And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand 
t measures of wheat for food to his household, 
and twenty measures of pure oil : thus gave 
Solomon to Hiram year by year. 

12 And the Lord gave Solomon wisdom, as 
he P promised him ; and there was peace be- 
tween Hiram and Solomon ; and they two made 
a league together. 

13 And king Solomon raised ^a levy out of all 
Israel ; and the lev}' was thirty thousand men. 

14 And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thou- 
sand a month by courses ; a month they were in 
Lebanon, and two months at home : ■" and 
Adoniram ivas over the levy. 

13 And Solomon had threescore and ten thou- 
sand that 'bare burdens, and fourscore thousand 
II hewers in the mountains :

fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in 
the month ^ Zif, which is the ■= second month, 
that he began to build the house of the Lord. 

2 And the house which king Solomon built 
for the Lord, the length thereof loas "^ threescore 
cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits, 
and the height thereof thirty cubits. 

3 And the ^ porch before the temple of the 
house, twenty cubits was the length thereof, ac- 
cording to the breadth of the house ; and ten 
cubits vjcts the breadth thereof before the house. 

4 And for the house he made ^windows of 
narrow lights. ' 

5 And against the wall of the house he built 
^ chambers round about, agaitist the walls of the 
house round about, both of the temple and of the 
*" oracle : and he made chambers round about. 

6 The nethermost chamber ivas five cubits 
broad, and the middle ivas six cubits broad, and 
the third was seven cubits broad : for without 
in the wallop the house he made narrowed rests 
round about, that the beams should not be fast- 
ened in the walls of the house. 

7 And the house, when it was in building, 
was built ' of stone made ready before it w as 
brought thither: so that there was neither "^ ham- 
mer, nor axe, nor any tool of iron, heard in 
the house Avhile it was in building. 

8 The door for the middle chamber was in 
the right side of the house : and they went up 



Iwlti 

1 7 And the house, that is, the temple before esocT^, 
it, was forty cubits long. ^^^.^^ ^ ^ 

18 And the cedar of the house within was Num. 13, ' 
carved with || knops and open flowers : all loas a. s, 6. 
cedar ; there was no stone seen. 49^*^'°°' ''' 

19 And the oracle he prepared in the house |.^^'"-3| 
within, to set there the ark of the covenant of ll Or^wdd 
the Lord. 

20 Ajid the oracle in the fore part was twenty 
cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, 
and twenty cubits in ^ the height thereof: and 
he overlaid it with "" pure gold ; and 50 covered 
the altar which was 0/ cedar. 

21 So Solomon overlaid the house within with 
pure gold : and he made a partition by the

of thirty cubits did compass it round about. 

24 x4nd under the brim of it round about there 
were j| knops compassing it, ten in a cubit, com- 
passing the sea round about: the knops were 
cast in two rows, when it was cast. 

25 It stood upon twelve ° oxen, three looking 
toward the north, and three looking toward the 
west, and three looking toward the south, and 
three looking toward the east : and the sea was 
set above upon them, and all their hinder parts 
were inward. 

26 And it was an p hand-breadth thick, and 
the brim thereof was ^ATOught like the brim of a 
cup, with flowers of lilies : it contained two thou- 
sand baths. 

27 And he made ten bases of brass : four cubits 
ivas the length of one base, and four cubits the 
breadth thereof, and three cubits the height of it. 

28 And the work of the bases was on this 
manner : they had borders, and the f borders 
ivere betvt'een the ledges : 

29 And on the borders that ?(;ere between the 
ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubims : and 
upon the ledges there was a base above : and 
beneath the lions and oxen ivere certain addi- 
tions made of thin work. 

30 And every base had four brasen wheels, 
and plates of brass ; and the four corners there- 
of had undersetters : under the laver were under- 
setters molten, at the side of every addition. 

31 And the mouth of it, within the chapiter and 
above, was a cubit : but the mouth thereof was 
round, after the work of the base, a cubit and 
an half ; and also upon the mouth of it were gra- 
vings with their borders, foursquare, not round. 

32 And under the borders were four wheels ; 
and the axle-trees of the wheels ivere joined to 
the base, and the height of a wheel was a cubit 
and half a cubit. 

33 And the work of the wheels was like the 
work of a chariot-wheel ; their axle-trees, and 
their naves, and their felloes, and their spokes, 
were all molten. 

34 And there were four undersetters to the 
four corners of one base : and the undersetters 
were of the very base itself. 

33 And in the top of the base loas there a 
round compass of half a cubit high : and on the 
top of the base, the ledges thereof, and the bor- 
ders thereof, ivere of the same. 

36 For on the plates of the || t ledges thereof, 
and on the borders thereof, he graved |j cheru- 
bims, lions, and palm-trees, according to the pro- 
portion of every one, and additions round about. 

37 After this mannerhe made the ten bases: 
all of them had one casting, one measure, and 
one size.

} and he set the sea on the right side of the house 
i eastward, over against the south. 
J 40 And Hiram made the lavers, and the sho- 
^ vels, and the ^ basons. So Hiram made an end 
][ of doing all the work that he made king Solo-

^ 41 The two pillars, and the tivo bowls of the 
«» chapiters that were on the top of the two pillars ;

2 And all tne men of Israel assembled them- 
d^Deut. 16, selves unto king Solomon at the "^ feast, in the 
achr.s, 3. month Ethanim, which is the seventh month. 

3 And all the elders of Israel came, and the 
" priests took up the ark. 

4 And they brought up the ark of the Lord, 
and the ^ tabernacle of the congregation, and all 
the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, even 
those did ^ the priests and the Levites bring up. 

5 And king Solomon, and all the congrega- 
tion of Israel, that were assembled unto him, 
icere with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep 
and oxen, '' that could not be told nor numbered 
for multitude. 

6 And the ' priests brought in the ark of the 
kExoci.26, covenant of the Lord unto '' his place, into the 

oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even 
under the wings of the cherubims. 

7 For the cherubims spread forth their two 
wings over the place of the ark, and the che- 
rubims covered the ark, and the ' staves there- 
of, above. 

8 And they ■" drew out the staves, that the 
ends of the staves were seen out in the ° holy 
place before the oracle, and they were not seen 
without : and there they are unto this day. 

9 There was ° nothing in the ark, save the two 
tables of stone, which Moses put there at Ho- 
reb, when the Lord made a covenant with the 
children of Israel, when they came out of the 
land of Egypt. 

10 H And it came to pass, when the priests 
were come out of the holy place, that the i 
p cloud 1 filled the house of the Lord, \ 

11 So that the priests could ' not stand to mi- ^

the Lord had filled the house of the Lord. (»

all their heart ; 

24 Who hast kept with thy servant David my

with thy servant David my father that thou 
promisedst him, saying. There shall ' not fail 
thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Luke 1, 33,

Solomon hlesseth the congregation : 

his good promise, which he promised by the 
hand of Moses his servant. 

57 The Lord our God be ® with us, as he 
was with our fathers : let him not leave us, nor 

Deut. 31, 6. forsake us; 

58 That he may incline our hearts unto him, 
to walk in all his ways, and to keep his com- 
mandments, and his statutes, and his judgments, 
which he commanded our fathers. 

59 And let these my words, wherewith I { 
have made supplication before the Lord, ^ be j 
nigh unto the Lord our God day and night, i 
that he maintain the cause of his servant, and \ 
the cause of his people Israel at f all times, as 
the matter shall require ; 

60 That '■all the people of the earth may know 
that ' the Lord is God, and that there is none else. 

61 Let your heart, therefore, ''be perfect with 
the Lord your God, to walk in his statutes, and 
to keep his commandments, as at this day. 

62 H And the king, and all Israel with him, 
offered sacrifice ' before the Lord. 

QS And Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace- 
offerings, which he offered unto the Lord, 
" two and twenty thousand oxen, and an hun- 
dred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king 
and all the children of Israel dedicated the house 
of the Lord. 

64 The same day did ° the king hallow the 
middle of the court that ims before the house 
of the Lord : for there he offered burnt-of- 
ferings, and meat-offerings, and the fat of the 
peace-offerings ; because the brasen altar that 
loas before the Lord loas too little to receive 
the burnt-offerings and meat-offerings, and the 
fat of the peace-offerings. 

Qb And at that time Solomon held ° a feast, 
and all Israel with iiim, a great congregation, 
from the entering in of p Hamath unto the i ri- 
ver of Egypt, before the Lord our God, ' seven 
days and seven days, even fourteen days. 

QQ On the " eighth day he sent the people 

away : and they blessed the king, and went un- 

\fc{]!n; to tiieir tents joyful and glad of heart, for all the 

goodness that the Lord had done for David his 

servant, and for Israel his people.

3 And the Lord said unto him, I have "^ heard ^l^{§^ 
thy prayer and thy supplication that thou hast cir.992. 
made before me : I have hallowed this house ^-'»'^/'■"*^ 
which thou hast built, to put my name there for & el', n. 
ever ; and * mine eyes and mine heart shall be fth.'|,'l9^" 
there perpetuallj'. 

4 And if thou wilt walk ^ before me, as David 
thy father walked, s in integrity of heart, and in 
uprightness, to do according to all that 1 have 
commanded thee, and will keep my statutes 
and my judgments ; 

5 Then I will establish the throne of thy king- 
dom upon Israel for ever, '' as I promised to 
David thy father, saying. There shall not fail 
thee a man upon the throne of Israel. 

6 But if you shall at all ' turn from following 
me, you or your children, and will not keep my 
commandments and my statutes which I have 
set before you. but go and serve other gods, and 
worship them ; 

7 Then will I ^ cut off Israel out of the land 
which I have given them : and ' this house, 
which I have hallowed for my name, will I 
cast out of my sight ; and Israel shall be " a pro- 
verb and a by-uord among all people : 

8 And at this house, wldch is high, every one 
that passeth by it shall be " astonished, and shall 
° hiss ; and they shall say, p Why hath the Lord 
done thus unto this land, and to this house ? 

2 And "^ they shall answer. Because they for- 
sook the Lord their God, who brought forth 
their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have j^'^ 2 10 
taken hold upon other gods, and have worship- n- 
ped them, and served them : 'therefore hath the rPs. 126,3, 
Lord brought upon them all this evil. 

10 H And it came to pass 'at the end of twenty s2Chr.8,i. 
years, when Solomon had built the two houses, 

the house of the Lord, and the ' king's house, tch.7, i. 

1 1 {Noio Hiram the king of Tyre had fur- 
nished Solomon with cedar-trees, and fir-trees, 
and with gold, according to all his desire,) that 
then Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the 
land of Galilee. 

12 And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the 

cities which Solomon had given him; and they iHcb. ww

thou hast given me, " my brother .'' And he call- ^ 1 Chr'.2£, 
ed them the land of Cabul unto this day. j-ch^e, 13, 

14 And Hiram sent to the * king sixscore 
talents of gold. 

15 And this is the reason of the ^ levy which 
king Solomon raised, for to build the house of 
the Lord, and his own house, and ^ Millo, and 
the wall of Jerusalem, and * Hazor, and *'Me-

18 1[ Moreover, the king made a great 'throne 
of t ivory, and overlaid it with the best gold. 

19 The throne had six steps, and the top of 
the throne ivas round behind : and there were 
stays on either side on the place of the seat, and 
two lions stood beside the stays. 

20 And twelve lions stood there on the one 
side and on the other upon the six steps : there 
was not the like made in any kingdom. 

21 And all king; Solomon's drinkino; vessels 
loere of gold, and all the vessels of the house of 
the forest of Lebanon ivere off pure gold; none 
ivere of silver : it was nothing accounted of in 
tiie days of Solomon. 

22 For the king had at sea a navy of" Tharshish 
with the navy of Hiram : once in three years 
came the navy of Tharshish, bringing gold and 
silver, ivory, and || apes, and peacocks. 

23 So king Solomon " exceeded all the kings 
of the earth for riches and for wisdom. 

24 And '=all the earth sought to Solomon, to 
hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart. 

25 And they brought every man his present, 
vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and gar- 
ments, and armour, and spices, horses, and 
mules, a rate "^ year by year. 

26 And Solomon '^ gathered together cha- 
riots and horsemen : and he had a '' thousand and 
four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand 
horsemen, whom he bestowed in the cities for 
chariots, and with the king at Jerusalem. 

27 And the kino; made ^ silver to be in Jerusa- 
lem as '' stones, and cedars made he to be as the ' s v- 
camore-trees that are in the vale, for abundance. 

28 And Solomon had '' horses brought out 
of Egypt, and linen 3'arn : the king's merchants 
received the ' linen yarn at a price. 

29 And a chariot came up and went out of 
Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and an 
horse for an hundred and fifty : and so for all the 
kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, 
did they bring them out by their means.

3 And he had seven hundred wives, princess- 
es, and three hundred concubines : and his 
wives ® turned away his heart. 

4 For it came to pass, when Solomon Avas 
II old, that his wives turned away his heart after 
other gods : and his heart was not perfect with |fgQ^"^° 
the Lord his God, as was the heart of David ch. e, i. &' 
his father. 

5 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the god- 
dess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the 
abomination of the Ammonites. 

6 And Solomon did evil ^ in the sight of the 
Lord, and went not fully after the Lord, as 
did Dand his father. 

7 Then did Solomon build an high place for 
Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill 
that is before Jerusalem ; and for Molech, the 
abomination of the children of Ammon. 

8 And likewise did he for all his strange 
wives which burnt incense, and sacrificed unto 
their gods. 

9 And the Lord was angry with Solomon, be- 
cause 2 his heart was turned from the Lord God ?3^'°''- '*' 
of Israel, which had appeared unto him ''twice, Rom. ii, s. 

10 And had 'commanded him concerning; this 
thing, that he should not go after other gods : but 
he kept not that which the Lord commanded. 

11 Wherefore the Lord said unto Solomon, 
Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou 
hast not kept my covenant and my statutes, which 
I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the 
kingdom from thee, and will give itto thy servant. 

12 Notwithstanding, in thy days I will not do 

it, "for David thy father's sake: but I will rend ^^g^Sam.?. 
it out of the hand of thy son. 

13 Howbeit I will not rend away all the 
kingdom ; but will give ' one tribe to thy son 
for David my servant's sake, and for Jerusalem's 
sake, which I have chosen. 

14 H And the " Lord stirred up an adversary 
unto Solomon, Hadad the Edomite 
the king's seed in Edom, 

15 For it came to pass, when David was in 

° Edom, and Joal), the captain of the host, was h~.'^ ' ' 
gone up to bury the slain, after he had smitten 
° every male in Edom, 

16 (For six months did Joab remain there 
with all Israel, until he had cut off every male 
in Edom,) 

17 That Hadad fled, he, and certain Edomites 
of his father's servants with him, to go into 
Egypt ; Hadad being yet a little p child. 

18 And they arose outof ''Midian, and came q'j?^n^27,3

father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon 
us, lighter, and we will serve thee. 

5 And he said unto them, Depart yet for three 
days, then come again to me. And the people 
departed. 

6 And king Rehoboam ^ consulted with the 
' old men that stood before Solomon his father 
while he yet lived, and said. How do you advise, 
that I may answer this people ? 

7 And they spake unto him, saying, If thou 
wilt be s aP servant unto '' this people this day, 
and wilt serve them, and answer them, and 
speak ' good words to them, then they will be 
tliy servants for ever. 

8 But he forsook the counsel of the old men, 
which they had given him, and consulted with 
the ^ young men that were grown up with him, 
and which stood before him ; 

9 And he said unto them. What counsel give 
ye, that we may answer this people, who have 
spoken to me, saying. Make the yoke which thy 
father did put upon us lighter .'' 

10 And the young men that were grown up 
with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt 
thou speak unto this people that spake unto thee, 
saying. Thy father made our yoke heavy, but 
make thou it lighter unto us ; thus shalt thou say 
unto them, 'My Wnh Jinger shall be thicker than 
my father's loins. 

1 1 And now, whereas my father did lade you 
with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke : 
my father hath chastised you with whips, but I 
will chastise you with scorpions. 

12 1[ So Jeroboam and all the people came 
to Rehoboam the third daj^, as the king had ap- 
pointed, saying. Come to me again the third day. 

13 And the king answered the people f rough- 
ly, and forsook the old men's counsel that they 
gave him ; 

14 And spake to them after the counsel of the 
young men, saying. My father made your yoke 
heavy, and ■" I will add to your yoke : my father 
also chastised you with whips, but I will chas- 
tise you with scorpions. 

15 Wherefore the king hearkened not unto 
the people ; for the f cause was from the Lord, 
that he might perform his saying, which the 
Lord spake by f Ahijah the Shilonite unto Je- 
roboam the son of Nebat. 

16 So when all Israel saw that the king heark-

nevertheless Asa's heart was perfect with the 
Lord all his days. 

15 And he brought in the things which his 
father had Medicated, and the things which him- 
self had dedicated, into the house of the Lord, 
silver, and gold, and vessels. 

16 And there was war between Asa and Baa-

good reign. 

17 And Baasha kingof Israel "went up against 
Judah, and built ^ Ramah, that he might not suf- 
fer any to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah. 

1 8 Then Asa took all the silver and the gold 
that were left in the treasures of the house of the 
Lord, and the treasures of the king's house, and 
delivered them into the hand of his servants: and 
king Asa sent them to Ben-hadad, the son of 
Tabrimon, the son of ^ Hezion, king of Syria, jt 
that dwelt at ^ Damascus, saying, 

19 There is a ^ league between me and thee, 
and between my father and thy father : behold, 
I have sent unto thee a present of silver and 
gold ; " come and break thy league with Baasha 
king of Israel, that he may depart from me. 

20 So Ben-hadad " hearkened unto king Asa, 
and sent the captains of the hosts which he had 
against the cities of Israel, and smote Ijon, and 
Dan, and '^ Abel-beth-maachah, and all Cinne- 
roth, with all the land of Naphtali. 

21 And it came to pass, when Baasha heard 
thereof, that he left off building of Ramah, and 
dwelt in ^ Tirzah, 

22 Then king Asa made a proclamation 
throughout all Judah ; (none loas exempted ;) 
and they took away the stones of Ramah, and 
the timber thereof, wherewith Baasha had build- 
ed : and kins; Asa built with ' them Geba of 
Benjamin, and ^ Mizpah. 

23 The rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his 
'' might, and all that he did, and the cities which 
he built, are they not written in the book of the 
Chronicles of the kings of Judah.^ Nevertheless, in 
the time of his ' old age he was diseased in his feet. 

24 And Asa "^ slept with his fathers, and was 
buried with his fathers in the city of David his 
father: and ' Jehoshaphat his son reigned in 
his stead. 

25 H And Nadab the son of Jeroboam began 
to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa 
king of Judah, and reigned over Israel two years. 

26 And he did " evil in the sight of the Lord, 
and walked in the ° way of his father, and in his 
sin wherewith he made Israel to sin. 

27 And Baasha the son of ° i^hijah, of the 
house of Issachar, conspired against him : and 
Baasha smote him at p Gibbethon, which be- 
longeth to the Philistines ; (for Nadab and all 
Israel i laid siege to Gibbethon ;) 

28 Even in the third year of Asa king of Ju- 
dah did Baasha slay him, and reigned in his stead. 

29 And it came to pass, when he reigned, 
that he smote ■" all the house of Jeroboam ; ^ he 
left not to Jeroboam any that breathed, until 
he had destroyed him, according unto the say- 
ing of the Lord, which he spake by his ser- 
vant Ahijah the Shilonite :

31 Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all 
that he did, are they not written in the ^ book xch.14,19, 
of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel ? 

32 And th^re was war between Asa and Baa- 
sha king of Israel all their days. 

2>S In the third year 
began Baasha the son of Ahijah to reign over 
all Israel in Tirzah, ^ twenty and four years. 

34 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, 
and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and ^ in

2 Forasmuch as I " exalted '' thee out of the 
dust, and made thee prince over my people Is- 
rael, and thou hast walked in ^ the way of Jero- 
boam, and hast made my people Israel to sin, to 
provoke me to anger with their sins ;

Baasha, and the posterity of 'his house; and will ^*^''- ^^' '*'•

the son of Nebat. 

4 Him that dicth of Baasha in the city shall 
the dogs eat ; and '' him that dieth of his in the hPs. 50,22.

5 Now the rest of the acts of Baasha, and what 
he did, and ' his might, are they not written in ich.15, 23, 
the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel,'^ 

6 So Baasha slept with his fathers, and was 
buried in ''Tirzah: and Elah his son reignsd kch. 14,17 
in his stead. 

7 And ' also by the hand of the prophet Jehu, ich. 14,6. 
the son of Hanani, came the word of the Lord 
against Baasha, and against his house, even for 
all the evil that he did in the f sight of the Lord 
in provoking him to anger with "" the work of 
his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam ; 
and because " he killed him.

Asa king of Judah, and "^ reigned in his stead. 

11 And it came to pass, when he began to 
reign, as soon as he ■■ sat on his throne, that he 
slew all the house of Baasha : he left him not 
one that ^ pisseth against a w;{41, neither of his 
t kinsfolks nor of his friends. 

12 Thus did Zimri destroy ' all the house of 
Baasha, according to the word of the Lord, which 
he spake against Baasha f by Jehu the prophet : 

13 For " all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of 
Klah his son, by which they sinned, and by which 
L.:>iy made Israel to sin, in provoking the Lord 
God of Israel to anger with their "^ vanities. 

14 Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all 
that he did, are they not written in the book of 
the Chronicles of tlie kings of Israel ? 

15 H In the twenty and seventh year of Asa 
king of Judah did Zimri reign ^ seven days in 
Tirzah. And the people ivere encamped against 
Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines. 

16 And the people thativere encamped heard 
say, Zimri hath conspired, and hath also slain 
the king : wherefore all Israel made ^ Omri, the 
captain of the host, king over Israel that day in 
the camp. 

17 And Omri went up from Gibbethon, and 
all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah. 

18 And it came to pass, when Zimri saw that 
the city was taken, that he went into the palace 
of the king's house, and ^ burnt the king's house 
over him with fire, and died, 

19 For his sins which he sinned in doing evil 
in the ^ sight of the Lord, in walking in the 
"way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did, 
to make Israel to sin. 

20 Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his 
treason that he wrought, are they not written in 
the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel ? 

21 ' " 
t into 
Tibni 
half followed Omri. 

22 But tiie people that followed Omri pre- I 
vailed against the people that followed Tibni the jj 
son of Ginath : so Tibni died, and Omri reigned. ^ 

23 In the thirty and first year of Asa king of ^ 
Judah began Omri to reign over Israel, twelve ^ 
years : six years reigned he in Tirzah. ^ 

24 And he bought the hill Samaria of Shemer > 
for two talents of silver, and built on the hill, and ^ 
called the name of the city which he built, after i 
the name of Shemer, owner of the hill, "^ Samaria. J 

25 But Omri wrought evil in the eyes of the ^ 
Lord, and ^ did worse than all that were before (

30 And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the

31 And it came to pass, as if it had been a

7 And it came to pass, after a while, that the 
brook dried up, because there had been no rain 
in the land. 

8 And '' the word of the Lord came unto him, 
saying, 

9 Arise, get thee to ' Zarephath, which be- 
longeth to Zidon, and dwell there : behold, 
I have " commanded a widow woman there to 
sustain thee. 

10 So he arose, and went to Zarephath. And 
when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the 
widow woman w;a.s there gathering of sticks: and 
he called to her, and said, ' Fetch me, I pray thee, 
a little water in a vessel, that I may drink. 

1 1 And as she was going to fetch it, he called 
to her, and said. Bring me, I pray thee, a mor- 
sel of bread in thine hand. 

12 And she said. As the Lord thy God liv- 
eth, I have not " a cake, but an handful of meal 
in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse : and, be- 
hold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go 
in and dress it for me and my son, that we may 
" eat it, and die. 

13 And Elijah said unto her. Fear not ; go, 
and do as thou hast said : but make me thereof 
a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and af- 
ter make for thee and for thy son : 

14 For thus saith the Lord God of Israel, 
° The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither 
shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day tliut the 
Lord sendeth rain upon the earth. 

15 And she went, and did p according to the 
saying of Elijah : and she, and he, and "^ her 
house, did eat many days. 

16 And the barrel of meal wasted not, nei- 
ther did the cruse of oil fail, according to the 
word of the Lord, which he spake by Elijah. 

17 And it came to pass, after these things, 
that the son of the woman, the mistress of the 
house, fell sick ; and his sickness was so sore, 
that there was nof breath left in him. 

18 And she said unto Elijah,! What have I 
to do with thee, O thou "^ man of God ? art thou 
come unto me to call my sin to remembrance, 
and to slay my son ? 

19 And he said unto her. Give me thy son. 
And he took him out of her bosom, and carried 
him up into a ' loft where he abode, and laid 
him upon his own bed. 

20 And * he cried unto the Lord, and said, 
■ O Lord " my God, hast thou also brought ^ evil 

upon the widow with whom ^ I sojourn, by slay- 
ing her son ? 

21 And he ^ stretched himself upon the child 
* three times, and cried unto the Lord, and said, 
O Lord my God, I pray thee, let this child's 
soul come into him again. 

22 And the Lord heard the voice of Elijah, 



i and the soul of the child came into him again, 
{ and he ^ revived. 

23 And Elijah took the child, and brought 
him down out of the chamber into the hou.se, 
,» and delivered him unto " his mother : and Elijah 
\ said. See, thy son liveth ! 
\ 24 And the woman said to Elijah, Now "^ by 
\ this I know that thou art a man of God, and that 
^ the word of the Lord in thy mouth is truth. 

\ CHAPTER XVIII. 

^ 1 In the extremity of famine, Elijah, sent to AhaB^iheet- 
eth good Obadiah. 9 Obadiah bringeth Ahai) to Eli- 
jah. 17 Elijah, reproving Ahab, 24 by fire from hea- 
ven, convinceth Baal's prophets. 41 Elijah, by pray- 
er obtaining rain, foUoweth Ahab to Jezreel. 

ND it came to pass, after =" many days, that 
the word of the Lord came to Elijah in 
^ the ^ third year, saying, Go shew thyself unto 
jl Ahab ; and I will "= send rain upon '^ the earth. 
* 2 And Elijah went to shew himself unto Ahab. 
^ And there was a sore famine in ^ Samaria. 
^ 3 And Ahab called Obadiah, which was the 
/ '' governor of his house. (Now Obadiah ^ fear- 
) ed the Lord greatly : 

•> 4 For it was so, when Jezebel ^ cut off the 
\ prophets of the Lord, that Obadiah took an 
j hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a 
^ cave, and ' fed them with bread and water.) 
( 5 And Ahab said unto Obadiah, Go into the 
^ land, unto all fountains of water, and unto all 
J brooks : perad\enture we may find ^ grass to 
(• save the horses and mules alive, that we lose not 

> all the beasts. 

I 6 So they divided the land between them, to 
i pass throughout it: Ahab went one way by him- 
\ self, ' and Obadiah went another way by himself. 
I 7 And as Obadiah was in the way, behold, 
^ Elijah met him : and ™ he knew him, and "fell on 

> his face, and said, Art thou that ° my lord Elijah.? 
(* 8 And he answered him, I am : go, tell thy 
(• lord, p Behold, Elijah is here. 

i 9 And he said, ^ What have I sinned, that 

( thou wouldest deliver thy servant into the hand 

^ of Ahab, to slay me ? 

i 10 '■^5 the Lord thy God liveth, there is no 

J nation or kingdom whither my lord hath not 

^ sent to seek thee : and when they said. He is 

^ not there, he took an oath of the kingdom and 

i nation, that they found thee not. 

c 1 1 And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, 

«» Behold, Elijah is here. 

I» 12 And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am 

i' gone from thee, that the Spirit of the Lord shall 
' carry thee whither I know not ; and so when I 
come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he 
( shall slay me : but I *thy servant fear the Lord 
f from my youth.

said. How long ^ halt ye between two opinions ? 
if the Lord he '" God, follow him : but if ' Baal,

1 Ben-hadad, not content with Ahab's homage, besiegeth 
Samaria. 13 By the direction of a prophet the Syrians 
are slain. 22 As the prophet forewarned Ahab, the Sy- 
rians, trusting in the valleys, come against him in 
Aphek. 28 By the word of the prophet, and God's 
judgmewt, the Syrians are smitten again. 31 The Sy- 
rians submitting themselves, Ahab sendeth Ben-hadad 
away with a covenant. 35 The prophet, under the 
parable of a prisoner, making Ahab to judge himself, 
denounceth God's judgment against him. 

AND * Ben-hadad the khig of Syria gather- 
ed all his host together: and there were 
^ thirty and two kings with him, an-d horses and 
chariots : and he went up and besieged Samaria, 
and warred against it. 

2 And he " sent messengers to Ahab king of 
Israel into the city, and said unto him, Thus 
saith Ben-hadad, 

3 "^ Thy silver and thy gold is mine ; thy wives 
also and thy children, even the goodliest, are mine. 

4 And the king of Israel answered and said, 
My lord, O king, according to thy saying, ^ I 
am thine, and all that I have. 

5 And the messengers came again, and said, 
Thus speaketh Ben-hadad, saying, Although I 
have sent unto thee, saying, Thou shalt deliver 
me thy silver, and thy gold, and thy wives, and 
thy children ; 

6 Yet I will send my servants unto thee to-mor- 
row about this time, and they shall search thine 
house, and the houses of thy servants ; and it shall 
be, that whatsoever is f pleasant in thine eyes, 
they shall put it in their hand, and take it away. 

7 Then the king of Israel called all the elders

Lord, Hast thou seen all this ° great multitude? 
behold, I will deliver it into thine hand this day; 
and thou shalt p know that I am the Lord. 

14 And Ahab said, By whom? And he said, 
Thus saith the Lord, Even by the i young men 
of the princes of the provinces. Then he said, 
Who shall order the battle? And he answered, 
' Thou. 

15 Then he numbered the young men of the 
princes of the provinces, and they were two 
hundred and thirty-two : and after them he 
numbered all the people, even all the children of 
Israel, being seven thousand. 

16 And they Avent out ' at noon : but Ben- sverseis. 
hadad was drinking himself drunk in the pa- *ch. im. 
villous, he and the kings, the thirty and two 5. ' ' ' 
kings that helped him. 

17 And the young men of the princes of the 
provinces went out first ; and Ben-hadad sent 
out, and they told him, saying. There are men 
come out of Samaria. 

18 And he said, Whether they be come out 
for peace, take them alive ; or whether they be 

come out for war, " take them alive. uiSam.2 

19 So these young men of the princes of the Psai.75, 5.

20 And they sleAv || every one his man : and 
the Syrians ^ fled ; and Israel pursued them :

of the men that were left. And Ben-hadad fled, 
and came into the city, f into an inner chamber. 

31 And his servants said unto him, Behold 
now, we have heard that the kings of the house 
of Israel are merciful kings : let us, I pray thee, \ 
' put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon our 
heads, and go out to the king of Israel , perad- 
venture he will save thy life. 

32 So they girded sackcloth on their loins, 
and put ropes on their heads, and came to the 
king of Israel, and said, "" Thy servant Ben-ha- 
dad saith, I pray thee, let me live. And he said, 
Is he yet alive ? he is my brother. 

33 Now the men did diligently observe whe- 
ther any thing would come from him, and did 
hastily catch it : and they said. Thy brother 
Ben-hadad. Then he said, Go ye, bring him. 
Then Ben-hadad came forth to him ; and he 
caused him to come up into the chariot. 

34 And Ben-hadad said unto him. The cities 
which my father took from ° thy father 1 will re- 
store ; and thou shalt make streets for thee in 
Damascus, as my father made in Samaria. 
Then said Ahab, I will send thee away with 
this covenant. So he made a covenant with 
him, and sent him away. 

35 And a certain man of the ° sons of the pro- 
phets said unto his neighbour in the word of the 
Lord, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man 
P refused to || smite him. 

36 Then said he unto him. Because thou hast 
not obeyed "^ the voice of the Lord, behold, as 
soon as thou art departed from me, *■ a lion shall 
sUiy thee. And as soon as he was departed 
Irom him, a lion found him, and slew him.

it : or, if it seem good to thee, I will give thee

3 And Naboth said to Ahab, '^ The Lord for-

4 And Ahab came into his house ^ heavy and 
displeased, because of the word which Naboth

said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fa-

turned away his face, and would eat no bread. 

5 But Jezebel '' his wife came to him, and 
said unto him. Why is thy spirit so sad, that EccI. 7,26.

6 And he said unto her. Because I spake unto 
Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me 
thy vineyard for money ; or else, if it please thee, 
I will give thee another vineyard for it : and he 
answered, I will not give thee my vineyard. 

7 And Jezebel his wife said unto him. Dost thou

8 So she wrote letters in Ahab's ' name, and 
sealed ihem with his seal, and sent the letters 
unto the ''elders and to the nobles that ivere in 
his city, dwelling with Naboth. 

9 And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim 
a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people ; 

10 And set "" two men, sons ° of Belial, before 
him, to bear witness against him, spying. Thou 
didst t blaspheme God and the king : and then 
carry him " out, and ^ stone him, that he may die. 

1 1 And the men of his city, even the elders and 
the nobles, who were the inhabitants in his city, 
1 did as Jezebel had sent unto them, and as it loas 
written in the letters which she had sent unto 
them : 

12 They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth 
on high among the people. 

13 And there came in two men, children of 
Belial, and sat before him : and the men of Be- 
lial witnessed against him, even against Naboth, 
in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth 
did blaspheme God and the king. Then they 
carried him forth out of the city, and "■ stoned 
him with stones, that he died. 

14 Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth 
is stoned, and is dead. 

15 And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard 
tliat Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that 
Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, ^take possession of 
the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he 
refused to give thee for money : for Naboth is 
not alive, but dead. 

16 And it came to pass, when Ahab heard 
that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go 
down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, 
to take possession of it. 

17 And the ' word of the Lord came to 
" Elijah the Tishbite, saying, 

18 Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of 
Israel, which is in Samaria: behold, he is in 
the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone 
down to possess it. 

19 And thou shalt speak unto him, saying. 
Thus saith the Lord, ^ Hast thou killed, and 
also taken possession ? And thou shalt speak un- 
to him, saying, Thus saith the Lord, In the 
place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth, 
shall J' dogs lick thy blood, even thine. 

20 And Ahab said to Elijah, Hast thou found 
me, O ^ mine enemy ? And he answered, I have 
found thee ; because thou hast ^ sold thyself to 
work evil in the sight of the Lord. 

21 Behold, I will " bring evil upon thee, and 
will take away thy posterity, and will cut off 
from Ahab him that « pisseth against the wall, 
and him that is ** shut up and left in Israel, 

22 And will make thine house like the house 
of * Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the 



house of ^Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the 
provocation whei'ewith thou hast provoked me 
to anger, and made Israel to sin. 

23 And of Jezebel also spake the Lord, 
saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall 
of Jezreel. 

24 Him that dieth of Ahab in the city the 
s dogs shall eat ; and him that dieth in the field 
shall the fowls of the air eat. 

25 But there was ''none like unto Ahab, which 
did sell himself to work wickedness in the si^ht 
of the Lord, whom Jezebel his wife ' stirred up. 

26 And he did very abominably in following 
idols, according to all things as did the ^ Amo- 
rites, whom the Lord cast out before the chil- 
dren of Israel. 

27 And it came to pass, when Ahab heard 
those words, that he rent his clothes, and put 
'sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in 
sackcloth, and went ™ softly. 

28 And the word of the Lord came " to Eli- 
jah the Tishbite, saying, 

29 Seestthou how Ahab humbleth himself be- 
fore me ? Because he humbleth ° himself before 
me, I will not bring the evil in his days ; but in his 
p son's days will I bring the evil upon his house. 

CHAPTER XXII. 

1 Ahab, seduced by false prophets, according to the 
word of Micaiah, is slain at Ramoth-gilead. 37 The 
dogs lick up his blood, and Ahaziah succeedeth him. 
41 Jehoshaphat's good reign : 45 his acts. 50 Jehoratn 
succeedeth him. 61 Ahaziah's evil reign. 

ND they continued '' three years without 
-war between Syria and Israel. 

2 And it came to pass, in ^ the third year, 
that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down 
to the king of Israel. 

3 And the king of Israel said unto his ser- 
vants. Know ye that " Ramoth in Gilead is 
'' ours, and we be still, and take it not out of the 
hand of the king of Syria ? 

4 And he said unto Jehoshaphat, Wilt ^thou 
go with me to battle to Ramoth-gilead ? And 
Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, ^ I am as 
thon art, my people as thy people, my horses as 
thy horses. 

5 And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Is- 
rael, s Inquire, I pray thee, at the word of the 
Lord to-day. 

6 Then the king of Israel gathered the ^ pro- 
phets together, about four hundred men, and 
said unto them, Shall I go against Ramoth-gi- 
lead to battle, or shall I forbear ? And they 
said. Go up ; for ' the Lord shall deliver it into 
the hand of the king. 

7 And Jehoshaphat said. Is there not here a 
prophet of the Lord besides, that we might in- 
quire of him ?

CHAPTER I. 

1 Moab rebelleth. 2 Ahaziah, sending to Baal-zebub, 
hath his judgment by Elijah. 5 Ehjah twice bringeth 
fire from heaven npon them whom Ahaziah sent to ap- 
prehend him : 13 He pitieth the third captain, and, 
encouraged by an angel, telleth the king of his death. 
17 Jehoram succeedeth Ahaziah. 

HEN ^ Moab ^rebelled against Israel after 
<= the death of Ahab. 

2 And Ahaziah fell down through a lattice in 
his upper chamber that was in Samaria, and 
•^ was sick : and he sent messengers, and said un- 
to them. Go, inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of 
^ Ekron, whether I shall recover of this disease. 

3 But the angel of the Lord said to ' Elijah the 
Tishbite, s Arise, go up to meet the messengers 
of the king of Samaria, and say unto them, 7s it 
not because there is not a God in Israel, that ye 
go to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron .^ 

4 Now, therefore, thus saith the Lord, Thou 
shalt not come down from that bed on which 
thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. And 
Elijah ^ departed. 

5 And when the messengers turned back un- 
to him, he said unto them, Why are ye now 
turned back ? 



6 And they said unto him. There came a man 
up to meet us, and said unto us, Go, turn again 
unto the king that sent you, and say unto him. 
Thus saith the Lord, Is it not because there is 
not a God in Israel, that thou sendest to inquire 
of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron ? therefore thou 
shalt not come down from that bed on which 
thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. 

7 And he said unto them. What manner of 
man was he which came up to meet you, and told 
you these words ? 

8 And they answered him, He ivas an hairy 
'man, and girt with a girdle of leather about his 
loins. And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite. 

9 Then the king ^ sent unto him ' a captain 
^ of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to 
him ; (and, behold, he sat on the top of an 
" hill ;) and he spake unto him, Thou man of 
° God, the king hath said. Come down. 

10 And Elijah answered and said to the cap- 
tain of fifty. If I 6e a man of God, then ^ let fire 
come down from '^ heaven, and consume thee 
and thy fifty. And there "■ came down fire from 
heaven, and consumed him and his fifty. 

1 1 t Again also he sent unto him another cap- 
tain of fifty with his fifty. And he ' answered

fifty went up, and came and ^ fell on his knees 
before Elijah, and besought him, and said unto 
him, O man of God, I pray thee, let my f life, 
and the life of these fifty thy servants, be pre- 
cious in thv sight. 

14 Beiiold, there came fire down from hea- 
ven, and burnt up the two captains of the former 
fifties with their fifties: therefore let my life now 
be precious in thy sight. 

15 And the angel of the Lord >' said unto 
Elijah, Go '^ down with him ; be not afraid of 
him. And he arose and went down with him 
unto the kins:. 

16 And he said unto him. Thus saith " the 
Lord, Forasmuch as thou hast sent messengers 
to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, (is 
it not because there is no God in Israel to in- 
quire of his word ?) therefore thou shalt not 
come down offtiiat bed on which thou art gone 
up, but shalt surely die. 

17 So he d jd, according to the word of the 
Lord, which Elijah had spoken: and ''Jehoram 
reigned in his stead, in the ' second year of Je- 
horam the son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah ; 
because he had no son. 

18 Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which 
he did, are they not written in the book of the 
•^ Chronicles of the kings of Israel .'' 

CHAPTER II.

to seek Elijah, could not find liim. 19 Elisha with 
salt healeth the unwholesome waters. 2.3 Bears de-

I pray thee ; for the Lord hath sent me to

Lord liveth, and ^ as thy soul liveth, I will not

3 And the *" sons of the prophets that luere at

So they came to "^ Jericho.

he said. As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth,

7 And fifty men of the sons of the prophets 
went, and stood to view afar off: and they two 
stood by Jordan. 

8 And Elijah took his ^ mantle, and wrapped ^\^'"S^ 
it together, and ° smote the waters, and they n i^x. 14, 
were divided hither and thither ; so that they " ' 
two went over on ° dry ground. 

9 And it came to pass, when they were gone 
over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, p Ask what I 
shall 1 do for thee, before I be taken away from °.Actss,i7, 
thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double 
portion of thy spirit be upon me. 

10 And he said. Thou hast asked a hard thing : 
nevertheless, ■■ if thou see me when I am taken \^^^ ^°> 
from thee, it shall be so unto thee ; but if not, 

it sfiall not be so.

from him, and * smote the waters, and said, 
Wiiere is the Lord God of Elijah ? And when 
he also had smitten the waters, they parted hi- 
ther and thither : and Elisha went over.

Naaman, by the report of a captive maid, is sent to 
Samaria, to be cured of his leprosy. 8 Elisha, sending 
him to Jordan, cureth him : 15 He, refusing Naaman's 
gifts, granteth him some of the earth. 20 Gehazi, 
abusing his master's name unto Naaman, is smitten 
with leprosy. 

OW Naaman, captain of the host of the king gg^ 
of Syria, was a "great man with his master, a Ex. 11,3. 
and honourable ; because '' by him the Lord had b ka. 10^5 
given deliverance unto Syria : he was also a 
mighty man in valour, but he was'' a leper. oc'^'^Io't" 

2 And the Syrians had gone out by compa- ~ ' ' '

land of Israel a little maid ; and she '' waited on dPs. i23,z

7 And it came to pass, when the king of Israel

said, Am ''I God, ' to kill and to make alive, that 
this man doth send unto me to recover a man of 
his leprosy ? Wherefore consider, I pray you, 
and see how he seeketh " a quarrel against me. 

8 And it was so, when Elisha the man of God 
had heard that the king of Israel had rent his

Syria, behold, there was no man there. 

6 For the Lord had made the host of the 
m2Sam.5, Syrians '"to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise 
ch! 19, 7. of horses, even the noise of a great host ; and 

they said one to another, Lo, the king of Israel 
hath hired against us the kings of the " Hittites, 
and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us. 

7 Wherefore they arose, and ° fled in the 
twilight, and left their tents, and their horses, 
and their asses, even the camp as it ivas, and 
fled for their life. 

8 And when these lepers came to the utter- 
most part of the camp, they went into one tent, 
and did cat and drink, and carried thence silver, 
and gold, and raiment, and went and i" hid it ; 
and came ajrain, and entered into another tent, 
and carried thence also, and %vent and hid it. 

9 Then they said t one to another. We do 
not well : this day is i a day of good tidings, 
and we hold our peace : if we tarry till the 
morning light, some f mischief will come upon

thee, all the great things that Elislia hath done. 

5 And it came to pass, as he was telling the 
king how he had restored a dead body to life, 
that, behold, the woma.n, whose son he had re- 
stored to life, cried to the king for her house and 
for her land. And Gehazi said. My lord, O king, 
*" this is the woman, and this is her son whom 
Elisha restored to life. 

6 And when the king asked the woman, she 
told him. So the king appointed unto her a cer- 
tain officer, saying, Restore all that ivas hers, 
and all the fruits of the field, since the day that 
she left the land, even until now. 

7 H And Elisha came to Damascus ; and Ben- 
hadad the king of Syria was sick : and it was told 
him, saving, TJie ' man of God is come hither. 

8 And the king said unto ^ Hazael, ^ Take a 
present in thine hand, and go, meet the man of 
God, and "inquire of the Lord by him, saying. 
Shall I t recover of this disease ? 

9 So Hazael went to meet him, and took a 
present with him, even of every good thing of 
Damascus, forty camels' burden, and came and 
stood before him, and said, ° Thy son Ben-hadad 
king of Syria hath sent me to thee, saying. Shall 
I recover of this disease ? 

10 And Elisha said unto him. Go, say unto 
him. Thou mayest certainly recover : howbeit, the 
Lord hath shewed me that he shall surely die. 

1 1 And he settled his countenance stedfastly, 
until he was ashamed : and the man of God ° Avept. 

12 And Hazael said, AVhy weepeth my lord ? 
And he answered. Because I know ^the evil that 
thou wilt do unto the children of Israel : '' their 
strong holds wilt thou set on fire, and their 3'oung

20 In his days Edom ' revolted from under the

ria, unto the rulers of Jezreel, to the elders, and 
to them that brought up Ahab's children, saying. 



to them, that they took the 
siew seventy persons, and put 



king's sons, and 
their heads in 
baskets, and sent him them to Jezreel. 

8 And there came a messenger, and told him, 
saying. They have brought the heads of the king's 
sons. And he said, Lay ye them in two heaps at 
the entering in of the '^ gate until the morning. 

9 And it came to pass in the morning, that he 
went out, and stood, and said to all the people, Ye 
be ' righteous : behold, "" I conspired against my 
master, and slew him : but " who slew all these ? 

10 Know now that tiiere shall "fall unto the 
earth nothing of the word of the Lord, which 
the Lord p spake concerning the house of Ahab : 
for the Lord hath done that which he spake by 
his servant Elijah. 

11 So Jehu slew all that remained of the 
house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his great men, 
and his kinsfolks, and his '' priests, until he left 
him none remaining. 

12 And he arose and departed, and came to 
Samaria. And as he ivas at the shearing-house 
in the way, 

13 Jehu met with the 'brethren of Ahaziah 
king of Judah, and said. Who are ye ? And they 
answered. We are the brethren of Ahaziah ; and 
we go down to salute the children of the king, 
and the children of the queen. 

14 And he said, ' Take them alive. And they 
jl took them alive, and slew them at the pit of the 
'' shearing-house, even two and forty men : neither 

left he any of them.

the worshippers of Baal, Search, and look that 
there be here with you none of the servants of 
the Lord, but the worshippers of Baal only. 

24 And A\hen they ^vent in to offer sacrifices 
and burat-ofiferings, Jehu appointed fourscore 
men without, and said, -//"any of the men whom 
I have brought into your hands escape, he thai let- 
tcth him go, Hiis life shall be for the life of him. 

25 And it came to pass, as soon as he had 
made an end of offering the burnt-offering, tliat 
Jehu said to the guard and to the captains. Go 
in, and slay them ; let -' none come forth. And 
they smote them with the edge of the sword ; 
and the guard and the captains cast them out, 
and went to the city of the house of Baal. 

26 And they brought forth the '' images out 
of the house of Baal, and burned them. 

27 And they brake down the im;i2;e of Bnal, 
and brake dow n the house of Baal, and made it 
' a draught-house unto this dav. 

28 Thus Jehu '' destroyed i3aal out of Israel. 

29 ' Howbeit, from the "' sins of Jeroboam 
the son of Nebat, w ho made Israel to sin, Jeliu 
departed not from after them, to wit, the " golden 
calves that were in Beth-el, and that loere in 
Dan. 

30 And " the Lord said unto Jehu, Because 
thou hast P done well in executing that which is 
right in mine eyes, and hast done unto the house 
of Ahab according to all that was in mine heart, 
thy children of the "^ fourth generation shall sit 
on the throne of Israel. 

31 But Jehu ftook no heed to walk in the law 
of the Lord God of Israel with all his heart: 
for ho departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, 
whicii made Israel to sin. 

32 H In those days the Lord began 'to cut 
Israel short : and Hazael smote them in all the 
coasts of Israel ; 

33 From Jordan eastward, all the land of 
Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the 
Manassites, from Aroer, (which is by the river 
Arnon,) even Gilead and Bashan.

SQ And t the time that .Tehu reigned over Is- 
rael in Samaria was twenty and eight years. 

CHAPTER XI. 

1 Jehoash, being saved by Jehoslieba his aunt from Ath.i- 
hah's massacre of the seed royiil, is hid six years in the 
hotise of God. 4 Jehoia(hi, giving order to the cap- 
tains, in the seventh year anoinleth liim king. ]3 Atha- 
liah is slain. 17 Jehoiadarestoreth the worship of God. 

ND when " Athaliah, the mother of Ahazi- 

ah, saw that her son was ^ dead, she arose, 

and destroyed all the seed f royal. 

2 But '^ Jehoslieba the daughter of 
Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of 
Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king's 
sons which were slain ; and they hid him, even 
him and his nurse, in the bed-chamber '' from 
Athaliah, so that he was not slain. 

3 And he was with her hid in the house of 
the Lord six years. And Athaliah " did reign 
over the land. 

4 And the seventh year "^ Jehoiada sent and 
fetched the ^'rulers over hundreds, with the cap- 
tains and the guard, and brought them to him 
into the house of the Lord, and '' made a cove- 
nant with them, and took an oath of them in the 
house of the Lord, and shewed them the king's 
son. 

5 And he commanded them, saying, This is 
the thing that ye shall do : ' A third part of you 
that enter in on the ^ sabbath shall even be 
keepers of the watch of the king's house ; 

6 And a third part shall he at the gate of 
' Sur ; and a third part at the gate " behind the 
guard : so shall ye keep the watch of the house, 
that it be not broken do\\n. 

7 And two parts of all you that go forth on 
the sabbath, even they shall keep the watch of 
the house of the Lord about the king. 

8 And ye shall compass the king round about, 
every man with his \^Tapons in his haifd : and he 
that Cometh within the ranges, let him be " slain : 
and be ye with the king as he goeth out, and as 
he Cometh in. 

9 And the captains over the hundreds did 
according to all things that Jehoiada the priest 
commanded : and they took every man his men 
that were to come in on the sabbath, with them 
that should go out on the sabbath, and came to 
Jehoiada the priest. 

10 And to the captains over hundreds did the 
priest give king ° David's spears and shields, 
that loere in the temple. 

11 And the guard stood, every man with his 
weapons in his hand, round about the king, from 
the right corner of the temple to the left corner of

XN the " twenty and seventli year of Jeroboam

2 " Sixteen years old was he when he began 
to reign, and he reigned '^ two and lifty years in 
Jerusalem : and his mother's name icas Jecho-

3 And he did tJiut ivliich was right in the sight 
of the Louu, " according to all tiiat his father 
Amaziali had done ; 

4 Save that the ^ higii places were not re-

cense still on the high places. 

5 And the Lord '' smote the king, so that he 
was ' a leper unto the day of his death, and 
dwelt in a f several house. And Jotham the 
king's son was over the house, ''judging the 
people of the land. 

6 And the rest of the acts of Azariah, and all 
that he did, are they not written in the book of 
the Chronicles of the kings of Judah ? 

7 So Azariah 'slept with his fathers; and they 
"^ buried him with his fathers in the city of Da- 
vid : and Jotham his son reigned in his stead. 

8 H In the thirty and eighth year of Azariah 
king of Judah did Zachariah the sou of Jerobo- 
am reign over Israel in Samaria " six months. 

9 And he did that ichich was evil in the sight 
of the Lord, ° as his fathers had done : he de- 
parted not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of 
Nebat, who made Israel to sin. 

10 And Shallum the son of Jabesh p conspir-

lo H Shallum the son of Jabesh began to reign 
in the nine and thirtieth year of * Uzziah king of ' '^^'''- '> ^•

14 For Menahem the son of Gadi went up 
from " Tirzah, and came to Samaria, and smote iV/l'"^* 
Shallum the son of Jabesh in Samaria, and slew 
him, and ^ reigned in his stead. |^'°^- ^^i 

15 And the rest of the acts of Shallum, and 
the conspiracy which he made, behold, they arc 
written in the book of the Chronicles of the 
kings of Israel. 

16 Then Menahem smote ^ Tiphsah, and all yi Kings 4, 
that were therein, and the coast thereof from ^'^' 
Tirzah : because they opened not to him, there- 
fore he smote it ; and all the ^ women therein z .Tudg. s, 
that wo.xe with child he ripped up. ciiap. 8, 12. 

17 In the nine and thirtieth year of Azariah Amosi,i3.

21 And the rest of the acts of Menahem, and 
all that he did, are they not written in the book

10 1 These also are the chief of the mighty 
men whom David had, who strengthened them- 
selves with him in his kingdom, and with all 
Israel, to make him king, ' according to the 
word of the Lord concerning Israel. 

11 And this is the number of the mighty men 
whom David had ; Jashobeam an Hachmonite, 
the chief of the captains : he lifted up his spear 
against "threo hundred, slain by him at one time. 

1 2 And after him ivas Eleazar the son of Dodo 
the ° Ahohite, who ivas one of the ° three mighties : 

13 He was with David at ^ Pas-dammim, and 
there the Philistines were gathered together lo 
battle, where was a parcel of ground full of barley ; 
and the people '^ fled from before the Philistines. 

14 And they ^ set themselves in the midst of 
that parcel, and delivered it, and slew the Phi- 
listines ; and the Lord ' saved them by a great 
deliverance. 

15 Now three of the thirty captains * went 
down to the rock of David, into the cave of 
" Adullam ; and the host of the Philistines en- 
camped in the valley of Rephaim. 

16 And David ivas then in the hold, and the 
Philistines' ^ garrison ivas then at Beth-lehem. 

1 7 And David longed, and said, || Oh, that one 
would give me drink of the water of the well of 
Beth-lehem, that is at the gate ! 

18 And the three ^ brake through the host of 
the Philiscines, and drew water out of the well 
of Beth-lehem that was by the gate, and took it, 
and brought it to David : but David would not 
drink ofk, but poured it out to the Lord, 

19 And said, My God forbid it me, that I 
should do this thing : shall I drink the blood of 
these men that have put their lives in jeopardy.^ 
for t with the jeopardy of then lives they brought 
it. Therefore he would not drink it. These 
things did these three mightiest. 

20 And Abishai the brother of Joab, he was 
chief of ^ the three : for lifting up his spear 
against three hundred, he slew them, and || had 
a name among the three. 

21 Of the three, he was more honourable 
than the two, for he was their captain ; howbeit 
he attained not to ^ the frst three. 

22 ^ Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of 
a valiant man of " Kabzeel, f who had done 
many acts ; he slew "* two lion-like men of 
Moab : also he went down and slew a lion in a 
pit in a snowy day. 

23 And he slew an Egyptian, a man of great 
stature, " five cubits high ; and in the Egyptian's 
hand was a spear like a weaver's beam ; and he 
went down to him with a staff, and plucked the 
spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew him 
with ' his own spear. 

24 These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoia- 



da, and had the name among the three £ mighties. 

25 Behold, he was honourable among the 
thirty, but attained not to the first three : and 
David set him over his guard. 

26 Also the valiant men of the armies were, 
^ Asahel the brother of Joab, Elhanan the son of 
Dodo of Betlvlehem, 

27 Shammoth the ' Harorite, Helez the Pe-

AND David made him houses in the *city of

2 Then David said, None ought tocarry the 
ark of God but the " Levites : for them hath the 
Lord chosen to carry the ark of God, and to 
minister unto him for ever. 

3 And David ** gathered all Israel together 
to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the Lord 
unto his place w liich he had prepared for it. 

4 And David assembled the * children cf 
Aaron, and the Levites: 

5 Of the sons of ' Kohath ; Uriel the chief,

6 Of the sons of ° JMerari : Asaiah the chief,

17 So the Levites appointed ^Hemanthe son 
of Joel ; and of his brethren, ^ Asaph the son of 
Berechiah : and of the sons of Merari their bre- 
thren, ^ Ethan the son of Kushaiah ; 

18 And with them their brethren of the se-

.Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, Eliab, and 
Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and

Jeiel the porters. 

19 So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and 
Ethan, ivere appointed to somid with cymbals 
of brass ; 

20 And Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemira- 
moth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and

21 And Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mik-

with harps on the ^Sheminith to excel. 

22 And Chciianiah, chief of the Levites, ?rff5 
> t for song : he instructed about the song, because 

he ivas skilful. 

23 And Berechiah and Elkanah were door-

ah, and Eliezer, the priests, ditl blow wiih the 
"trumpets before the ark of God; and Obed- 
edom and Jehiah tvere door-keepers for the 
ark. 

25 H So David, and the elders of Israel, and 
the captains over thousands, went to bring up 
the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the 
house of Obed-edom ''with joy. 

26 And it came to pass, when God helped 
'' the Levites that bare the ark of the covenant 
of the Lord, that they offered ^ seven bullocks 
and seven rams. 

27 And David was clothed with a robe of fine 
linen, and all the Levites that bare the ark, and 
the singers, and Chenaniah the master of the 
song with the singers : David also had upon 
him an ephod of linen. 

28 Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the

ciiap.22, 8. to dwell in : 

6 For I have not dwelt in an house since the

6 Wheresoever I have walked with all Israel, 
k 2 Sam. 7, gpakc I a word to 

whom I command 

^Vhy have ye not built me an house of cedars ? 

7 Now therefore tiius shalt thou say unto my ; 
servant David, Thus saith the ' Lord of hosts, 
I took thee from tiie sheepcole, even from '" fol- 
lowing the sheep, that thou shouldest be ruler 
ov(!r my people Israel ; 

8 And "I have been with thee whithersoever 
thou hast walked, and have " cut off all thine 
enemies from befon; thee, and have made thee 
a name like the name of the great men that are 
in the earth. 

9 Also I will ordain a place for my people 
Israc;!, and will j)lant them, and they shall dwell 
in their jjlace, and shall be moved no more ; 
neither shall the children of wickedness waste

1 1 And it shall come to pass, when thy days 
be expired, that thou must ' go to be with thv

which shall be of thy sons ; and I will stablish

5 And when the Syrians of Damascus came

7 And David took the ' shields of gold that

them to " Jerusalem. 

8 Likewise from Tibhath, and from Chun, 
cities of Hadarezer, brought David very much 
brass, wherewith ° Solomon made the brasen 
sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass. 

9 1 Now when Tou king of Hamath heard

10 He sent Hadoram his son to king David, 
t to inquire of his welfare, and fto congratulate 
him, because he had fought against Hadarezer, 
and smitten him ; (for Hadarezer had war with 
Tou ;) and with him all manner of vessels of gold

brouglit from all these nations ; from Edom and

thousand. 

13 And he put garrisons in Edom ; and all the 
Edomites became David's servants. Thus the

it was set upon David's head : and he brought 
also exceeding much spoil out of the city.

it, and cut them with ' saws, and with harrows 
of iron, and with axes : even so dealt David with 
all the cities of the children of Ammon. And 
David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.

1 David tempted by Satan, forceth Joab to number the 
people. 3 The number of the people being brought, 
David ropenteth of it. 9 David having three plagues 
propounded by Gad, chooseth the pestilence. 14 After 
the death of seventy thousand, David by repentance 
preventeth the destruction of Jerusalem. 18 David by 
Gad's direction, purchaseth Oman's threshing-floor • 
where, having built an altar, God giveth a sign of his 
favour by tire, and stayeth the plague. 28 David sa- 
criticelh there, being restrained from Gibeon by fear 
of the angel. 

AND "Satan stood up against Israel, and |g°,^3'^; 
'' j)rovoked David to number Israel. Kev.12'16. 

2 And David said to Joab, and to the rulers 1. '""' ' 
of the people. Go, number Israel, from "Beer- S^judg.g^i. 
sheba even to Dan ; and bring the number of 

them to me, that I may know it. 

3 And Joab answered, The Lord f make his +"«''. add 
people an hundred limes so many more as they be : ceu'i. 1, 1. 
but, my lord the king, are they not all my lord's isa. 26^ is 
servants ? why then doth my lord require this 
thing ? wh}' will he be a cause of trespass to Israeli ? 



(i 4 Nevertheless the king's word prevailed

throughout all Israe,,

wherefore Joab departed, and went 
and came to Jerusalem. 

5 H And Joab gave the sum of the number of 
the people unto David. And all Z/j^y 0/ Israel 
were ^a thousand thousand and an hundred 
thousand men that drew sword : and Judah %oas 
four hundred threescore and ten thousand men 
that drew sword. 

6 But Levi and Benjamin counted he not 
among them ; for the king's word was ^ abomi- \^°"'- ''< 
nable to Joab. 

7 And God was displeased with this thing ; 
therefore he '' smote Israel. 

8 And David said unto God, I have ' sinned 
greatly, because I have done this thing : but now, 
I beseech thee, do away the iniquity of thy ser- 
vant ; for I have done very foolishly. 

9 And the Lord spake unto Gad, David's 
"■ seer, saying, 

10 Go and tell David, saying, ' Thus saith the 
Lord, I offfT thee three things : "" choose thee 
one of them, that I may do it unto thee.

'^' the jiestilence, in the land, and the angel of the 

Lord destroying throughout all the coasts of Is- 
rael. Now, therefore, advise thyst^if what word 
I shall brin"; ajrain to him that sent me. 

13 And David said unto Gad, I am in a great 
strait : let me fall now into the hand of the Lord ; 

!>f I'so'T' 'o'' II ^'^^y great are his mercies : but let me "^ not 
fall into the hand of man. 

14 So the Lord sent pestilence upon Israel : 
and there fell of Israel ' seventy thousand men. 

15 And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to 
destroy it : and as he was destroying, the Lord 

ju^-f 'Is' 'jeheld, and he 'repented him of the evil, and said 
to the angel that destroyed. It is enough, stay now 
thine hand. And the an^el of the Lord stood 
by the threshing-floor of Oman the Jebusite. 

16 And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the 
angel of the Lord stand between the earth and 
the heaven, having ' a drawn sword in his hand 
stretched out over Jerusalem : then David and 
the elders of Israel, who were " clothed in sack- 
cloth, " fell upon their faces. 

1 7 And David said unto God, Is it not I that 
commanded the people to be numbered ? even I 
it is that have sinned and done evil indeed : but as 

for these ^ sheep, what have they done ? Let thine 
hand, I pray thee, O Lord my God, be on me, 
and on my father's house ; but not on thy peo- 
ple, that they should be plagued. 

18 Then the ^ angel of the Lord commanded 
" Gad to say to David, that David should go up, 
and set up an altar unto the Lord in the thresh- 
ing-floor of Oman the Jebusite. 

19 And David went up at ^ the saj'ing of Gad, 
which he spake in the name of the Lord. 

20 And Oman turned back, and saw the 
angel ; and his four sons with him " hid them- 
selves. Now Oman was '' threshing wheat. 

21 And as David came to Oman, Oman 
looked, and ' saw David, and went out of the 
threshing-floor, and ^ bowed himself to David 
with his face to the ground. 

22 Then David said to Oman, f Grant me 
the place of this threshing-floor, that I may build 
an altar therein unto the Lord ; thou shalt grant 
it me for the full price, that the plague may be 
stayed from ihe people. 

23 And Oman said unto David, Take it to 
thee, and let my lord the king do that which is 
good in his eyes : lo, I give thee the oxen also 

|2Sam.24, |-^j. bumt-offcrings, and the ^ threshing instru- 
ments for wood, and the wheat for the meat- 
offering : I give it all. 

24 And king David said to Oman, Nay , but 



David purchaseth Oman s threshing 

I will verily '' buy it for the full price : for I will 
not take that which is thine for the Lord, nor 
offer burnt-offerings without cost. 

25 So David gave to Oman for the place ' six 
hundred shekels of gold by weight. 

26 And David built there an altar unto the 
Lord, and offered burnt-offerings and peace- 
offerings, and called upon the Lord ; and he 
answered him from heaven ^ by fire upon the 
altar of burnt-offering. 

27 And the Lord commanded the angel ; and 
he ' put up his sword again into the sheath thereof. 

28 At that time, when David saw that the 
Lord had answered him in the threshing-floor of 
Oman the Jebusite, then he sacrificed '" there. 

29 For the " tabernacle of the Lord, which 
Moses made in the wilderness, and the ° altar of 
the burnt-offering, were at that season in the 
high place at ^ Gibeon : 

30 But David could not go before it to in-

CHAPTER XXII. 

1 David foreknowing the place of the temple, prepareth 
abundance for the building of it : 6 He instructeth Solo- 
mon in God's promises, and his duty in building the tem- 
ple. 17 He chargeth the princes to assist his son. 

THEN David said, " This is the house of the 
Lord God, and this is the altar of the 
burnt-offering for Israel. 

2 And David commanded to gather together 
the ^ strangers that tvere in the land of Israel ; 
and he set masons to hew wrought stones to 
build the house of God. 

3 And David prepared iron in abundance for 
the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the join- 
ings; and brass in abundance '^without weight ; 

4 Also cedar-trees in abundance : for the 
^ Zidonians and they " of Tyre brought much 
cedar-wood to David. 

5 And David said, "^ Solomon my son is ^ young 
and tender, and the house that is to be builded 
for the Lord must be exceeding magnifical, of 
fame and of glory *" tliroughout all countries : I 
will therefore now make preparation for it. So 
David prepared abundantly before his death. 

6 Then he called for Solomon his son, and 
charged him to build ' an house for the Lord 
God of Israel.

shall build my house and my ° courts : for I have 
chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father. 

7 Moreover, I vv^ill establish his kingdom for 
ever, if he be constant to do my ■' commandments 
and my judgments, as at this day. 

8 Now therefore, in the sight of all Israel, the 
congregation of the Lord, and in the audience 
of our God, keep and seek for all the command- 
ments of the Lord your God, that ye may pos- 
sess this good land, and leave it for an inheritance 
for your children after you for ever. 

9 And thou, Solomon my son, "^ know thou 
the God of thy father, and serve him with "^a 
perfect heart, and with a willing mind : for the 
Lord ' searcheth all hearts, and understandeth 
all the imaginations of the thoughts : if thou seek 
him, he will be found of thee ; but if thou forsake 
him, he will cast thee off for ever. 

10 Take heed now ; for the Lord hath cho- 
sen thee to build an house for the ^sanctuary: 
be strong, and do it. 

11 II Then David gave to Solomon his son the 
" pattern of the porch, and of the ^ houses there- 
of, and of the treasuries thereof, and of the up- 
per chambers thereof, and of the inner parlours 
thereof, and of the place of the '-^ mercy seat,

Spirit, of the courts of the house of the Lord, 
and of all the chambers round about, of the 
^treasuries of the house of God, and of the trea- 
suries of the ^dedicated things: 

13 Also for the courses of the priests and the 
Levites, and for all the work of the service of the 
house of the Lord, and for all the vessels of 
service in the house of the Lord. 

14 He gave of ""gold by weight for things of 
gold, for all instruments of all manner of service; 
" silver also for all instruments of silver by weight, 
for all instruments of every kind of service : 

13 Even the weight for the '' candlesticks of

every candlestick, and for the lamps thereof; 
and for the candlesticks of silver by weight, both 
for the candlestick, and also for the lamps there- 
of, according to the use of every candlestick. 

16 And by weight he gave gold for the tables 
of " sliew-bread, for every table ; and likewise 
silver for the tables of silver: 

17 Also pure gold for the '' flesh-hooks, and the

nor be dismayed ; for the Lord God, even my

nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the

In his days the 



his son reigned in his stead, 
land was quiet ^ ten years. 

2 And Asa did that ivhich was " good and 
right in the eyes of the Lord his God : 

3 For he took away the '^ altars of the strange 
gods, and the ^ high places, and brake down the 
images, and cut down the groves ; 

4 And commanded Judah ^ to seek the Lord 
God of their fathers, and to do the law and the 
commandment. 

ch. 31, 21. 5 p^\^Q he took away, out of all the cities of ) 
Judah, the high places and the images : and the « 
kingdom was ^ quiet before him. \ 

6 And he built fenced cities in Judah : for \ 
the land had rest, and he had no war in those \ 
years ; because '' the Lord had given him rest. \ 

7 Therefore he said unto Judah, Let us build \ 
these cities, and make about them walls and \ 
towers, gates and bars, lohile the land is yet be- \ 
fore us ; because we have sought the Lord our ^ 
God, we have sought him, and he hath given us ) 
rest on every side. So they built, and prospered, i

pians were overthrown, that they could not re- 
cover themselves ; for they were destroyed be- 
fore the Lord, and before his host: and they 
carried away very much spoil. 

14 And they smote all the cities round about 
Gerar : for the ' fear of the Lord came upon 
them : and they spoiled all the cities ; for there 
was exceeding much spoil in them. 

15 They smote also the * tents of cattle, and 
carried away sheep and camels in abundance, 
and returned to " Jerusalem.

4 But when they in their trouble did turn 
unto the Lord God of Israel, and sought him, 
he was found of them. 

5 And in 'those times there was no peace to 
him that went out, nor to him that came in, but 
great vexations were upon ^ all the inhabitants

10 But when Athaliah, the mother of Aha- 
ziah, 'saw that her son was dead, she arose, 
and destroyed all the seed-royal of the house of 
Judah. 

11 But " Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the 
king, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole 
him from among the king's sons that were slain, 
and put him and his nurse in a f bed-chamber. 
So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of king Jehoram, 
the wile of ^ Jehoiada the priest, (for she was 
the sister of Ahaziah,) hid him from Athaliah, 
so that she slew him not. 

12 And he was with them 'hid in the house of 
God sixyears: and Athaliah reigned over the land. 

CHAPTER XXni. 

1 Jehoiada bavins; set things in order, maketh Joash 
king. 12 Athaliah is sLain. 16 Jehoiada restoreth the 
worship of God. 
* A ND in the ^seventh year Jehoiada strength-

the son of Jehohanan, and Azariah the son 
of Obed, and Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and 
Elishaphat the son of Zichri, ^into covenant 
with him. 

2 And they went about in Judah, and *= gather- 
ed the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and 
the chief of the fathers ''of Israel, and they came 
to Jerusalem. 

3 And all the congregation made ^a covenant 
with the king in the house of God. And he *^said 
unto them, Behold, the king's son shall reign, 

5 He walked also after their ' counsel, and ^ as the Lord hath said of the sons of David,

19 And it came to pass, that, in process of ( 
time, after the end of two years, his bowels fell ( 
out by reason of his sickness : so he died of sore > 
diseases : and his people made no ''burning for 
him, like the burning of his fathers. 

20 Thirty and two years old was he when he 
began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight 
years, and " departed f without being desired ; 
howbeit they buried him in the city of David, 
but not in the sepulchres of the kings. 

CHAPTER XXII.

federacy with Joram the son of Ahab, he is slain by Je- 
hu. 10 Athalia destroying all the seed royal, save 
Joash, whom Jehoshabeath his aunt hid, usurpeth the 
kingdom. 

ND the inhabitants of Jerusalem ='made Aha- 
ziah his youngest son king in his stead : 
for the ^ band of men that came with the Ara- 
bians to the camp had slain all the eldest. So Aha- 
ziah, the son of Jehoram king of Judah, reigned. 

2 Forty and two years old was Ahaziah when 
he began to reign ; and he reigned " one year in 
Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Atha- 
liah the '' daughter of Omri. 

3 ^ He also walked in the ways of the house 
of Ahab : for ^ his mother was his ^ counsellor 
to do wickedly. 

4 Wherefore he did evil in the sight of the 
Lord, like the house of Ahab ; for they were 
his counsellors, after the death of his father, to 
his *■ destruction.

iron and brass to mend the house of the Lord. 

13 So the workmen wrought, and f the work 
was perfected by them, and they set the house 
of God in his state, and strengthened it. 

14 And when they had finished it, they 
brought tiie rest of the money before the king and 
Jehoiada, whereof were made "vessels for the 
house of the Lord, even vessels to minister, 
and to offer ivithal, and spoons, and vessels of 
gold and silver: and they offered burnt-offerings 
in the house of the Lord continually all the 
days of Jehoiada. 

15 But Jehoiada waxed old, and was p full of 
days when he died ; an hundred and thirty years 
old was he when he died. 

16 And they buried him in the "^city of Da- 
vid ■■ among the kings, because he had ^ done 
good in * Israel, both towards God, and " to- 
wards his house. 

17 Now * after the death of Jehoiada came the 
princes of Judah and made obeisance to the 
king : then the king hearkened unto them. 

18 And they ^ left the house of the Lord 
God of their fathers, and served groves and 
idols: and 'wrath came upon Judah and Jerusa- , 
lem for this their trespass. | 

19 Yet he ^ sent prophets to them, to bring 
them again unto the Lord ; and they ^ testified 
against them : but they would "^ not give ear. 

20 And the Spirit of God came upon Zecha- 
riah the son of Jehoiada the priest, which stood 
above the people, and said unto them. Thus 
saith God, Why transgress ye the command- 
ments of the Lord, that ye '^ cannot prosper ? 
Because ye have forsaken the Lord, he hath 
also forsaken you. 

21 And they conspired against him, and ^sto- 
ned him with stones, *■ at the commandment of 
the king, in the court of the house of the Lord. 

22 Thus Joash the king remembered not the 
kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to 
him, but slew his son : and when he died, he 
said, The Lord look upon it, ^ and require it. 

23 And it came to pass, at the end of the 
year, that the host of Syria came up against 
him : and they came to Judah and Jerusalem, and 
destroyed all the princes of the people from 
among the people, and sent all the spoil of them 
unto the king of Damascus. 

24 For the army of the Syrians came with a 
small company of men, and the Lord delivered 
a very great host into their hand, ^ because they 
had forsaken the Lord God of their fathers : so 
they ' executed judgment against Joash. 

25 And when they were departed from him 
(for they left him in great diseases,) ^ his own 
servants conspired against him, for the blood of

twenty and nine years in Jerusalem : and his 
mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem. 

2 And he did that which was right in the sight 
of the Lord, but ^ not with a perfect heart. 

3 Now it came to pass, when the kingdom 
was established to him, that he "^slew his ser- 
vants that had '^ killed the king his father : 

4 But he slew not their children, but did as 
it is written in the law in the book of Moses, 
where the Lord commanded, saying, ^ The fa- 
thers shall not die for the children, neither shall 
the children die for the fathers, but every man 
shall die for his own sin. 

5 Moreover, Amaziah gathered Judah toge- 
ther, and made them captains ^ over thousands, 
and captains over hundreds, according to the 
^ houses of their fathers, throughout all Judah and 
Benjamin: and he numbered them from ''twenty 
years old and above, and found them three hun- 
dred thousand choice meii, able to go forth to 
war, that could ' handle spear and shield. 

6 He hired also an "^ hundred thousand mighty 
men of valour out of Israel for ' an hundred ta- 
lents of silver. 

7 But there came " a man of God to him, 
saying, O king, let not the army of Israel go 
with thee ; ° for the Lord is not with Israel, to 
wit, with all the children of ° Ephraim. 

8 But if thou wilt go, ^ do it, be strong for the 
battle ; God shall make thee fall before the enemy : 
for God hath *> power to help, and to cast down.

keep the passover unto the Lord God of Israel

time in such sort as it was written. 

6 So the po!;ts went with the letters from the 
king and his princes throughout all Israel and 
Judah, and acc^prding to the commandment of 
the king, saying, Ye children of, Israel, 'turn 
again unto the Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, 
and Israel, and "" he will return to the remnant 
of you that are ° escaped out of the hand of the 
kings of Assyria. 

7 And be not ye ° like your fathers, and like 
your brethren, which trespassed against the Lord 
God of their fathers, who, therefore, '' gave them 
up to desolation, as ye see. 

8 Now be ye not i stiff-necked, as your fathers 
were, but yield yourselves unto the Lord, and 
enter into his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified 
for ever; and serve the Lord your God, that the 
fierceness of his wrath may turn away from you. 

9 For if ye ' turn again unto the Lord, your 
brethren and your children shall find ' compas- 
sion before them that lead them captive, so that 
they shall come again into this land : for the 

till the work Avas ended, and until the other > Lord your God is gracious and merciful, and 
priests had sanctified themselves ; for the Le- J will not turn away his face from you, if ye re- 
turn unto him. 

10 So the posts passed from city to city, 
through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh, 
even unto Zebulun : but they ' laughed them to 
scorn and mocked them. 

1 1 " Nevertheless divers of Asher and Ma- 
nasseh and of Zebulun ^ humbled themselves, 
and came to Jerusalem. 

12 Also in Judah, the ^ hand of God was to 
give them ^ one heart to do the commandment 
of the king and of the princes, by the '' word of 
the Lord. 

13 And there assembled at Jerusalem much

and the Levites were '' ashamed, and sanctified 
themselves, and brought in the burnt-offerings 
into the house of the I^ord. 

16 And they stood in their place after their 
manner, ^ according to the law of Moses the man

the whole assembly took counsel to 
keep other seven days : and they kept other se-

24 For Hezekiah king of Judah did give to 
the congregation " a thousand bullocks and se- 
ven thousand sheep ; and the princes gave to the 
congregation a thousand bullocks and ten thou- 
sand sheep : and a great number of priests sanc- 
tified themselves. 

25 And all the congregation of Judah, with 
the priests and the Levites, and all the congre- 
gation that came out of Israel, and the strangers 
that came out of the land of Israel, and that 
dwelt in Judah, rejoiced. 

26 So there was great joy in Jerusalem : for 
since the time of Solomon the son of David king 
of Israel there was not the like in Jerusalem. 

27 Then the ° priests the ^ Levites arose and 



5 And as soon as the commandment came 
abroad, the children of Israel brought in abun- 
dance the " first-fruits of corn, wine, and oil, and nEx.23,19

° tithe of all things brought they in abundantly. 

6 And concerning the children of Israel and 
Judah that dwelt in the cities of Judah, they 
also brought in the tithes of oxen and sheep, and 

the tithe of ^ holy things which were consecrated ss. ^"'" ' 
unto the Lord their God, and laid them f by 
\ heaps. 

7 In the ^ third month they began to lay the

8 And when Hezekiah and the princes came 

and saw the heaps, they ' blessed the Lord, and l^^"- ^*'

and the J^evites concerning the heaps. 

10 And Azariah the f chief priest, of the house \,^^^^■^Jl^

1 Sennacherib imadin» Judah, Hezekiah fortifieth him-

Hezekiah praying in his sickness, God givcth him 
a sign of recovery : 25 He waxing proud, is humbled 
by God : 27 His wealth and works: 31 His error in 
the ambassage of Babylon : 32 He dying, Manasseh 
succeedeth him. 

AFTER " these things, and the establishment 
thereof, Sennacherib king of Assyria came, 
and entered into Judah, and encamped against 
the fenced cities, and thought to ** win them for 
himself. 

2 And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib 
was come, and that he was f purposed to fight 

Jerusalem, 

3 He took counsel with his princes and his 
mighty men to " stop the waters of the fountains, 
which ^vere without the city ; and they did help

20 For this cause Hezekiah the king, and the i And || Manasseh his son, reigned in his stead,

21 And the Lord sent an angel, which cut 
off all the mighty men of valour, and the leaders 
and captains, in the camp of the king of Assyria : 
so he returned with shame of face to his own 
land. And when he was come into the house of 
his god, they that came forth of his own bowels 
slew him there with the sword. 

22 Thus the Lord saved Hezekiah and the 
inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sen- 
nacherib the king of Assyria, and from the hand 

fiAsashep- of all Other, and || guided them on every side. 
Xc/t,'" 23 And many brought gifts unto the Lord to 

77," 2a**' Jerusalem, and '' presents to Hezekiah king of 

Judah : so that he was " magnified in the sight 

of all nations from thenceforth. 

24 '^ In those days Hezekiah was sick to the 
death, and prayed unto the Lord : and he spake 
unto him, and he gave him a sign. 

25 But Hezekiah ' rendered not again ac- 
cording to the benefit done unto him ; for ^ his 
heart was lifted up : therefore there was wrath 
upon him, and ^ upon Judah and Jerusalem. 

26 Notwithstanding, Hezekiah humbled him- 
self ''for the pride of his heart, (both he and the 
inhabitants of Jerusalem,) so that the wrath of 
the Lord came not upon them in the days of 
Hezekiah. 

27 And Hezekiah had exceeding much riches 
and honour : and he made himself treasuries for 
silver, and for gold, and for precious stones, and 
for spices, and for shields, and for all manner of 
pleasant jewels ; 

28 Storehouses also for the increase of corn, 
and wine, and oil ; ^nd stalls for all manner of 
beasts, and cotes for flocks. 

29 Moreover he provided him cities, and pos- 
sessions of flocks and herds in abundance ; for 
' God had given him substance very much. 

30 This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper 
water-course of Gihon, and brought it straight 
down to the west side of the city of David.

\ the Lord, like unto the ^ abominations of the ^ ^^"'- ^^' 
heathen, whom the Lord had cast out before 
the children of Israel. 

3 For he f built again the high places which l^^eb. re-^

shall my name be for ever. 

5 And he built altars for all the host of heaven 
in the 'two courts of the house of the Lord. 

6 And he caused his "children to pass through 
the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom : also 
he observed times, and used enchantments, and 
used M'itchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, 
and with wizards : he f wrought much evil in J,^,^^,"^^ 
the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger. 

7 And he set a carved image, the idol which 
he had made, in the house of God, of which God 
had said to David, and to Solomon his son, '' In h Ps. 132, 
this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have cho- jer. 32, 24.

CHAPTER I. 

The proclamatioa of Cyrus for the building of the 
temple. 6 The people provide for their return. 7 
Cyrus restoreth the vessels of the temple to Shesh- 
bazzar. 

NOW in the first year of * Cyrus king of Per- 
sia, (that the word ^ of the Lord by the 
mouth of Jeremiah might be " fulfilled,) the Lord 
'^ stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, 
that he made " a proclamation throughout all his 
kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying, 

2 Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, The 
Lord God of heaven hath given me all the 
kmgdoms of the earth; and he hath ^charged 
me to build him an house at Jerusalem, which 
is in Judah : 

3 ' ^Vho is there among you of all his people ? 
his God be *" with him, and let him go up to Je- 
rusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house 
of the Lord God of Israel (' He is the God) 
which is ^ in Jerusalem. 

4 And whosoever remaineth in any place 
where he sojourneth, let the men of his place 
fhelp him with silver, and with gold, and with 
goods, and with beasts, besides the ' free-will- 
offering for the house of God that is in Jeru- 
salem. 

5 Then rose up the ""chief of the fathers of 
Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Le- 
vites, with all them whose " spirit God had raised 
to go up to build the house of the Lord which 
is in Jerusalem. 

6 And all "they that ruere about them strength- 
ened their hands with vessels of silver, with gold, 
with goods, and with beasts, and with precious 
things, besides all that was '' willingly offered. 

7 Also Cyrus the king brought forth the ves- 
sels of the house of the Lord, which Nebuchad- 
nezzar had brought '* forth out of Jerusalem, 
and had put them in the house of his "■ gods ; 

8 Even those did Cyrus king of Persia bring 
forth by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, 
and numbered them unto ' Sheshbazzar the 
prince of Judah. 

9 And this is the ' number of them : thirty 
chargers of gold, a thousand chargers of silver, 
nine and twenty knives, 

10 Thirty basons of gold, silver basons of a 
second sort four hundred and ten, and " other 
vessels a thousand. 

11 All the vessels of gold and of silver loere 
five thousand and four hundred. All these did 
Sheshbazzar bring up with them of the cap- 
tivity, that were brought up from Babylon unto 
Jerusalem

14 Now, because t we have maintenance from «;

15 That search may be made in the book of

was tliis city destroyed.

means thou shalt have no portion on this side

1 7 Now therefore, if it seem good to the king, 
let there be search made in the king's treasure- 
house, which is there at Babylon, whether it be 
so that a decree was made of Cyrus the king to 
build this house of God at Jerusalem, and let 
the king send ' his pleasure to us concerning this 
matter. 

CHAPTER VI. 

1 Darius finding the decree of Cyrus, maketh a new 
decree for the advancennent of the building. 13 By 
the help of the enemies, and the directions of the pro- 
phets, the temple is finished. 16 The feast of the 
dedication is kept, 19 and the passover. 

HEN Darius the king " made a decree, and 
search was made in the house of the f rolls, 
where the treasures were laid up in Babylon. 

2 And there was found at Achmetha, in the 
palace that is in the province of the Medes, a 
'' roll, and therein ivas a record thus written : 

3 In the first year of Cyrus the king, the same 
Cyrus the king made a decree concerning the 
house of God at Jerusalem, Let the house be 
builded, the place where they offered sacrifices, 
and let the foundations thereof be stronglv laid ; 
the height thereof " threescore cubits, and the 
breadth thereof threescore cubits ; 

4 IVith three '' rows of great stones, and a 
row of new timber : and let the * expenses be 
given out of the king's house : 

5 And also let the golden and silver ^vessels 
of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar 
took forth out of the temjile w\\\c\\ is at Jerusa-

6 Now therefore, Tatnai, governor beyond 
the river, Shethar-boznai, and your companions 
the Apharsathchites, which arc beyond the river, 
^ be ye far from thence ; 

7 ' Let the work of this house of God alone ; 
let the governor of the Jews, and the elders of 
the Jews, build this house of God in his place. 

8 Moreover, f I make a decree what ye shall 
do to the elders of these Jews, for the building 
of this house of God : that, of the king's goods, 
even of the tribute beyond the river, forthwith 
expenses be given unto these men, that they be 
not hindered. 

9 And that which they have need of, both 
young bullocks, and rams, and lambs, for the 
burnt-offerings of the God of heaven, ^ wheat, 
' salt, "" wine, and oil, according to the appoint- 
ment of the priests which are at Jerusalem, let 
it be given them day by day without fail ; 

10 That they may offer sacrifices off sweet l^^^^^' 
savours under the God of heaven, and pray "for ^t"|^'j^'g 
the life of the king, and of his sons. 

11 Also I have made a decree, that whoso- 
ever shall ' alter this word, let timber be pulled 
down from his house, and, being set up, let him 
be f hanged thereon ; and let his house be made 
^ a dunghill for this. 

12 And the God that hath caused '• his name 
to dwell there, ' destroy all kings and people 
that shall put to their hand to alter and to de- 
stroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem. 
I Darius have made a decree; let it 'be done sPs. 119,6.

13 H Then Tatnai, governor on this side the 
river, Shethar-boznai, and their companions, ac- 
cording to that which Darius the king had sent 
' so they did speedily.

i| told them what they should say unto Iddo, and ^^. 
to his brethren the Nethinims, at the place Casi- 
phia, that they should bring unto us ministers for 
the house of our God. 

18 And, by the "good hand of our God upon uci''?, 9. 
us, they brought us " a man of understanding, )^^\^^''' 
of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of

21 Then I proclaimed "a fast there at the river 
Ahava, that we might '' affiict ourselves before 
our God, to seek of him " a right way for us, and 
for our little ones, and for all our substance. 

22 For I was ashamed to require of the king; '^l''^:^'}l- 
a band ol soldiers and horsemen to help us Mat. n, 21. 
against the enemy in the way : because we had icor.'7,5.

those lands 

rulers hath been chief in this trespass 

3 And when I heard this thing, I = rent my gar- 
ment and my mantle, and plucked off the hair of 
my head and of my beard, and sat down '' astonied. 

4 Then were 'assembled unto me every one y°''"^^' 
that ^ trembled at the words of the God of Israel, k isa. 66, 2 
because of the transgression of those that had 
been carried away ; and I sat astonied until the 
evening sacrifice. 

5 And at the 'evening sacrifice I arose up 1 Ex. 39.3?, 
from my heaviness , and having rent my gar- 
ment and my mantle, I fell upon my knees, and 
" spread out my hands unto the Lord my God, ^5^'"^' 

6 And said, O my God ! I am " ashamed and nHom.e, 
blush to lift up my face to thee, my God : for 
° our iniquities are increased over our head, and 
our trespass is grown up '^ unto the heavens. 

7 Since the days of our fathers have we been 
in a great trespass unto this day : and for our 
iniquities have we, our kings, and our priests, 
been delivered into the hand of the kings of the 
lands, to the sword, to captivity, and to a spoil, 
and to "^ confusion of face, as it is this day. 

8 And now for a little space grace hath been 
shewed from the Lord our God, to leave us a 
remnant to escape, and to give us || a nail in his I^Ji'^j' 
holy place, that our God may lighten our eyes, 
and give us ' a little reviving in our bondage. 

9 For we were bondmen ; yet our God hath 
' not forsaken us in our bondage, but hath ex- 
tended mercy unto us in the ' sight of the kings of ^h- ^ ^^ 
Persia, to give us a reviving, to set up the house ja. ' ' 
of our God, and to repair the desolations thereof, 
and to give us " a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem. 

10 And now, O our God, " what shall we 
say after this ? for we have forsaken thy com- 
mandments, 

11 Which thou hast ''commanded by thy ser- y Deut. 7,^. 
vants the prophets, saying, The land, unto which 
ye go to possess it, is an unclean land with the 
filthiness of the people of the lands, Avith their 
abominations, which have filled it from one end 
to another with their uncleanness. 

12 Now, therefore, " give not your daughters zE.x.23,32.

CHAPTER I. 

1 Nehemiah, understanding by Hanani the misery of Je- 
rusalem, mourneth, fasteth, and prayeth : 6 His prayer. 

THE words of Nehemiah the son of Hacha- 
liah. And it came to pass in the month 
^ Chisleu, in the ^ twentieth year, as I was in 
Shushan the palace, 

2 That ' Hanani, one of my brethren, came, he 
and certain men of Judah ; and I asked them con- 
cerning the Jews tliat had escaped, which were 
left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem. 

3 And they said unto me. The remnant that 
are left of the captivity there in the '^ province 
are ^ in great affliction and reproach : the wall 
of Jerusalem also is ^ broken down, and the 
gates thereof are burnt with fire. 

4 And it came to pass, when I heard these 
words, that ^ I sat down and wept, and mourned 
certain days, and ^ fasted, and ' prayed before 
the God of heaven, 

5 And said, I beseech thee, ^ O Lord God of 
heaven, the ' great and terrible God, that ""keep- 
eth covenant and mercy for them that love him 
and observe his commandments ; 

6 " Let thine ear now be attentive, and thine 
eyes open, that thou mayest hear the prayer of 
thy servant, which I pray before thee now, day 
and " night, for the children of Israel thy ser- 
vants, p and confess the sins of the children of 
Israel, which we have sinned '' against thee : 
both I and my father's house have sinned. 

7 We have dealt very corruptly against thee, 
and have not kept the commandments, nor the 
statutes, nor the judgments, which thou com- 
mandedst thy servant Moses. 

8 "■ Remember, I beseech thee, the word that 
thou commandedst thy servant Moses, saying, 
° If ye transgress, I will scatter you abroad 
among the nations :

heaven, yet will I gather them from thence, and 
will bring them unto the place that I have cho- 
sen to set my name there. 

10 Now these are thy ^ servants, and thy peo- 
ple, whom thou hast redeemed by thy great 
power, and by thy ^ strong hand. 

110 Lord, I beseech thee, let now thine ear ^ ^^' ^'

CHAPTER II. 

1 Artaxerxes understanding the cause of Nehemiah's 
sadness, sendeth him with letters and commission to 
Jerusalem. 9 Nehemiah, to the grief of the enemies, 
cometh to Jerusalem: 12 He vieweth secretly the 
ruins of the walls : 17 He inciteth the Jews to build 
in despite of the enemies. 

AND it came to pass in the month ^ Nisan, in 
the twentieth year of '' Artaxerxes the king, 
that wine was before him : and I took up the 
' wine, and gave it unto the king. Now I had 
not been beforetime ^ sad in his presence. 

2 Wherefore the king said unto me, Why is 
thy countenance sad, seeing thou art not sick ? 
this is nothing else but « sorrow of heart. Then 
I was '' very sore afraid, 

3 And said unto the king, ^ Let the king live 
for ever : ^ why should not my countenance be 
sad, when the city, the place of my fathers' se- 
pulchres, lieth waste, and the gates thereof are 
consumed with fire ? 

4 Then the king said unto me, For what dost 
thou make request .? So I ' prayed to the God 
of heaven.

CHAPTER IV. 

1 While the enemies scoff, Nehemiah prayeth, and con- 
tinueth the work. 7 Understanding the wrath and se- 
crets of the enemy, he setteth a watch. 13 He armeth 
the labourers, 19 and giveth military precepts. 

UT it came to pass, that when Sanballat 
heard that ^ we builded the wall, he was 
wroth, and took great ** indignation, and "^ mock- 
ed the Jews. 

2 And he spake before his brethren and the 
army of Samaria, and said, What do these ''feeble 
Jews ? will they fortify themselves ? will they 
sacrifice ? will they make an end in a day ? will 
they ^ revive the stones out of the heaps of the 
rul)l)ish VA'hich are burnt ? 

3 Now "^Tobiah the Ammonite i««5 by him, and 
he said, Even that which they build, if ^ a fox go 
up, he shall even break down their stone wall. 

4 ^ Hear, O our God ; for we are despised : 
and ' turn their reproach upon their own head, 
and give them for a prey in the land of captivity ; 

5 And ^ cover not their iniquity, and let 
not their sin be ' blotted out from before thee : 
for they have provoked thee to anger before 
the builders. 

6 "So built we the wall; and all the wall 
was "joined together unto the half thereof: for 
the people had ° a mind to work. 

7 But it came to pass, that when Sanballat, 
and Tobiah, and the p Arabians, and the '^ Am- 
monites, and the ' Ashdodites, heard that the 
walls of Jerusalem were made up, and that the 
breaches began to be stopped, then they were 
' very wroth, 

8 And conspired 'all of them together to come 
and to fight against Jerusalem, and to hinder it. 

9 Nevertheless we made our " prayer unto 
our God, and "" set a watch against them day

28 And the sons of the singers gathered them- 
selves together, both out of the plain country 
round about Jerusalem, and from the villages of 
^ Netophathi ; 

29 Also from the ^ house of Gilgal, and out of 
the fieldsof "^ Geba and Azmaveth : for the singers 
had builded them villages round about Jerusalem. 

30 And the priests and the Levites *= purified 
themselves, and purified the people, and the 
"^ gates, and the wall. 

31 Then I brought up the princes of Judah 
upon the ^ wall, and appointed two great compa- 
nies of them that gave thanks, whereof one went 
on the right hand upon the wall, toward the 
^ dung-gate : 

32 And after them went Hoshaiah, and half 
of the princes of Judah, 

33 And ^Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam, 

34 Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and 
Jeremiah ; 

35 And certain of the priests' sons with '' trum-

of Michaiah, thesonof Zaccur,the son of Asaph; 

3G And his brethren Shemaiah, and Azarael, 
Milalai, Giialai, Maai, Netlianeel, and Judah, 
Hanani, with the ' musical instruments of David 
the man of God, and Ezra the scribe before them. 

37 And at the '' fountain-gate, which was 
over against them, they went up by the ' stairs of 
the city of David, at the going up of the wall, 
above the house of David, even unto the ""water- 
gate eastward. 

38 And the other company of them that gave 
thanks went over against them, and I after them, 
and the half of the people upon the wall, from 
beyond the tow^erofthe" furnaces even unto the 
broad wall ; 

39 And from above the ° gate of Ephraim, 
and above Pthe old gate, and above the fish-gate, 
and the tower of Hananeel, and the tower of 
Meah, even unto the sheep-gate : and they stood 
still in the i prison-gate.

CHAPTER XIII. 

Upon the reading of the law, separation is made from 
tho, mixed multitude. 4 Nehemiah at his return caus- 
eth the chambers to be cleansed. 10 He reformeth 
the oflices in the house of God, 15 the violation of the 
sabbath, 23 and the marriages with strange wives. 

N " that day they read in the book of Moses 
in the audience of the people ; and therein 
was found ''written, that the *= Ammonite and 
the Moabite should not come into the congrega- 
tion of God for ever ; 

2 Because they "^ met not the children of Is- 
rael with bread and with water, but * hired Ba- 
laam against them, that he should curse them ; 
howbeit our God ''turned the curse into a blessing. 

3 Now it came to pass, when they had s heard \ Judah, and in ''Jerusalem, 
the law, that they separated from Israel all the ' '"^ --t^i - t . i i 
''mixed multitude. 

4 il And ' before this, Eliashib the priest, hav- 
ing the ^ oversight of the chamber of the house 
of our God, was 'allied unto Tobiah : 

5 And he had prepared for him a great cham- 
m2 Chr. 7, bcr, whcrc aforetime they laid the " meat-offer- 
^' ings, tiie frankincense, and the vessels, and the 

tithes of the corn, the new wine, and the oil, 
n rnim.is, (which was " commanded to he given to the Le- 
vites, and the singers, and the porters,) and the 
offerings of the priests. 

6 But in all this time ° was not I at Jerusalem :

for they weit; counted "faithful ; and their office ?Sj'-''^'r„

grapes, and figs, and all manner q/' " burdens, 21. 
which they brought into Jerusalem on the sab- 21. ' '

wherein they sold victuals. 

16 There dwelt men of ^Tyre also therein, fi Kings 
which brought fish, and s all manner of ware, gEzek. 27,

Jerusalem began to be ' dark before the sabbath, Ze'chri,4, 
I commanded that the gates should be shut, and lips. 125,2. 
charged that they should not be opened till after 
the sabbath : and some of my servants set I at 
the gates, that there should no burden be 
brought in on the sabbath-day. 

20 So the merchants, and sellers of all kind of 
ware, lodged without Jerusalem once or twice.

beautiful; whom Mordecai, when her father and ^"'

8 So it came to pass, when the king's com-

many maidens were gathered together unto Shu-

Esther was brought also unto the king's house, 
to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women. 

9 And the maiden pleased him, and she ob-

13 Then thus came every maiden unto the 
king : whatsoever she desired was given her. to

14 In the evening she went, and on the mor-

7 And Mordecai told him of all that had hap-

that Haman had promised to pay to the king's

8 Also he gave him the copy of the writing

clare it unto her, and to " charge her that she

9 And Hatach came and "^ told Esther the

12 And they told to Mordecai Esther's words. 

13 Then Mordecai commanded to answer Es- 
ther, Think not with thyself that thou shall es- 
cape in "the king's house more than all the Jews. 

14 For if thou altogether boldest thy peace

5 Then the king said. Cause Haman to make

the king and Haman came to the banquet that 
Esther had prepared.

and '' to-morrow am I invited unto her also with 
the king.

the king delighteth to honour ? (Now Hainan 
thought in his heart, To whom would the king 
delight to do honour more than to myself.'') 

7 And Haman answered the king. For the 
man ^ whom the king delighteth to honour, 

8 Let the royal apparel be brought which the 
king useth to wear, and the '"horse that the king 
rideth upon, and the crown-royal which is set 
upon his head :

that they may array the man withal whom the ^ 
king delighteth to honour, and ' bring him on \ 
horseback throug^h *he street of the city, and | 



proclaim before him. Thus shall it be done to 
the man whom .he king delighteth to honour. 

10 Then the king said to Haman, Make haste, 
and take the apparel and the horse, as thou hast 
said, and do even so to Mordecai the Jew that 
sitteth at the king's gate : let nothing fail of all 
that thou hast spoken. 

11 Then took Haman the apparel, and the 

horse, and ''arrayed Mordecai, and brought him ^gj 1°'^

unto him. If Mordecai he of the seed of the Jews,

" not prevail against him, but shalt surely ^ fall 3 ^^'^''- '~' 
before him. 

14 And while they U'cre yet talking with 
him, came the king's chamberlains, and hasted 
to bring Haman unto the banquet that Esther 
had ■" prepared.

1 The holiness, riches, and religious care of Job for his 
children. 6 Satan appearing before God, by calumnia- 
tion obtaineth leave to tempt Job. 13 Understanding 
of the loss of his goods and children, in his mourning 
he blesseth God. 

THERE was a man in the land of ' Uz, 
whose name was ^ Job ; and that man was 
' perfect and ^ upright, and one that ^ feared 
God, and ^eschewed evil. 

2 And there were born unto him ^ seven sons 
and three daughters. 

3 His '' substance also was seven thousand 
sheep, and three thou.sand camels, and five hun- 
dred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she-asses, 
and a very great household ; so that this man 
was the greatest of all the men of the east. 

4 And his sons went and ' feasted in their 
housys every one ^ his day ; and sent and called for 
their three sisters, 'to eat and drink with them. 

5 And it was so, when the days of their feast- 
ing were gone about, that Job sent and '" sanc- 
tified them, and ° rose up early in the morning, 
and offered burnt-offerings according "to the 
number of them all : for Job said, '' It may be 
that my sons have '^ sinned, and cursed God in 
their "■ hearts. Thus did Job ' continually. 

6 H Now there was a day when ' the sons of 
God came to " present themselves before the 
Lord, and "^ Satan came also among them. 

7 And the Lord said unto Satan, ^Whence 
comest thou .'' Then Satan answered the Lord, 
and said, From Agoing to and fro in the earth, 
and from walking up and down in it. 

8 And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou 
considered my servant Job, that there is none 
like him in the earth, a perfect and an 'upright 
man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil .'' 

^ Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, 
Doth Job fear God for nought ? 



\ 



10 Hast not thou made an ^ hedge about him, 
and about his ^ house, and about all that he hath on 
every side ? Thou hast blessed the " work of his 
hands, and his substance is increased in the land : 

1 1 But put forth thine hand now, and touch all 
that he hath, and he will ^ curse thee to thy face. 

12 And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold, 
ail that he hath is ^ in thy power ; ^ only upon 
himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan 
went forth from the presence of the Lord. 

13 H And there was a day when his sons and 
his daughters were ^ eating and drinking wine in 
their eldest brother's house : 

14 And there came *■ a messenger unto Job, 
and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses 
feeding beside them ; 

1 5 And the Sabeans fell upon them, and took 
them away, yea, they have slain the servants 
with the edge of the sword ; and ' I only am 
escaped alone to tell thee. 

16 ''While he loas yet speaking, there came 
also another, and said, ' The fire of God is fallen 
from heaven, and hath burnt up the sheep, and 
the servants, and consumed them ; and I only 
am escaped alone to tell thee. 

17 While he loas yet speaking, there came 
also another, and said. The Chaldeans made out 
three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have 
carried them away, yea, and slain the servants 
with the edge of the sword ; and I only am 
escaped alone to tell thee. 

18 While he was yet speaking, there came 
also another, and said. Thy sons and thy daugh- 
ters loere eating and drinking wine in their 
eldest brother's house : 

19 And, behold, there came "a great wind 
from the wilderness, and f smote the four cor- 
ners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, 
and they are dead ; and 1 only am escaped alone 
to tell thee.

22 Which ■" rejoice exceedingly, and are glad 
when they can find the grave ? 

23 Why is light given to a man whose way is | 
" hid, and whom God hath ° hedged in ? * 

24 For my sighing cometh '' before I eat, and 
my roarings are poured out like the waters. 

25 For the thing which I greatly feared is

come unto me. 

26 I was not in safety, neither had I rest, 
neither was I quiet ; yet trouble came. 

CHAPTER IV. 

1 Eliphaz reproveth Job for want of religion : 7 He 
teacheth God's judgments to be not for the righteous, 
but for the wicked : 12 His fearful vision to humble the 
excellencies of creatures before God.

thou ^ be grieved ? but who can " withhold him- 
self from speaking ? 

3 Behold, thou hast '' instructed many, and i 
thou hast * strengthened the weak hands. ^ 

4 Thy words have upholden him that was 
^ falling, and thou hast strengthened the ^ feeble 
knees. 

5 But now it is " come upon thee, and thou 
faintest ; it ' toucheth thee, and thou art troubled. 

6 Is not this thy ^ fear, thy ' confidence, the 
"■ uprightness of thy ways, and thy hope ? 

7 Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, 
being innocent ? or where were the righteous 
cut off? 

8 Even as I have seen, they that plough ini- i 
quity, and sow wickedness, reap the same. > 

9 By the blast of God they perish, and by the >

3 Shall vain words have an end ? or what 
emboldeneth thee that thou answerest ? 

4 I also " could speak as ye do : if your soul

CHAPTER XXI. 

Job sheweth, that even in the juflgment of man he hath 
reason to be grieved. 7 Sometimes the wicked do so 
prosper, as they despise God. 16 Sometimes their de- 
struction is manifest. 23 The happy and unhappy 
are aike in death. 30 The judgment of the wicked is 
in another world. 

BUT Job answered and said, 
2 "^ Hear diligently my speech ; and let 
this be your consolations. 

3 "^ Suffer me that I may speak ; and after 
that I have spoken, mock on. 

4 As for me, is my complaint " to man ? and if 
it loere so, why should not my spirit be troubled ? 

5 Blark me, and be '^ astonished, and lay your 
hand upon your mouth. 

6 Even when I remember I am afraid, and 
'trembling taketh hold on my flesh. 

7 'Wherefore do the wicked live, become 
old, yea, are ^ mighty in power ? 

8 Their ^ seed is established in their sight 
with them, and their offspring before their eyes. 

9 Their houses are safe from fear, neither is ;i 
the 'rod of God upon them. ;; 

10 Their bull gendereth, and ''faileth not; 
their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf. 

1 1 They send forth their little ones like ' a |

joice at the sound of the organ. j 



13 They spend their days in wealth, and " in christ

17 They are joined one to another, they stick

18 By his neesings a light doth shine, and his

19 Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and

CHAPTER XLH. 

1 Job submitteth himself unto God. God preferring 
Job's cause, maketh his friends submit themselves, and 
accepteth him : 10 He magnitieth and blesseth Job. 
16 Job's age and death. 

HEN Job " answered the Lord, and said, 
2 I know that thou canst ^ do every 
thing, and that no ' thought can be w'ithholden 
from thee. 

3 Who is he that ^ hideth counsel without 
knowledge ? therefore have I uttered that I 
' understood not ; things ' too wonderful for me, 
whicii 1 knew not. 

4 Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak : I 
will ^demand of thee, and declare thou unto me. 

5 I have ^ iieard of thee by the hearing of the 
ear ; but now ' mine eye seeth thee : 

6 Wherefore I abhor myself, ^ and repent in 
dust and ashes. 

7 11 And it was so, that, ' after the Lord had 
spoken these words unto Job, the Lord said to 
Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled 
against thee, and against thy two friends : for ye 
have not spoken of me the thing that is '" right, 
as ° my servant Job hath. 

8 Therefore take unto you now "seven bul- 
locks and seven rauis, and '' go to my servant 
Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt-offering ; 
and my servant Job shall "* pray for you, for him 
will I accept ; lest I deal with you after your folly, 




did according as the Lord commanded them 
the Lord also accepted Job. 

10 And the Lord 'turned the captivity of Job, •■P'-o22,4. 
when he prayed for his friends : also the Lord 

gave Job twice as much as he had before. 

11 Then came there unto him 'all his bre- &36|i|^^' 
thren, and all his sisters, and all they that had p^/^^^|o 
been of his acquaintance before, and did eat 

bread with him in his house ; and they bemoan- 
ed him, and comforted him over all the evil that 
the Lord had brought upon him : every man 
also gave him a piece of money, and every one 
an ear-ring of gold. 

12 So the Lord blessed 'the latter end of Job ^iW'' 
more than his beffinning : for he had fourteen \'^ 'is- J^- 

o ^ o Mat. 19 29 

thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a iTim.fi', n! 
thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-asses. •'^"'®^^''2- 

1 3 H e had also seven sons, and three daughters. 

14 And he called the name of the first Jemi- 
ma ; and the name of the second, Kezia ; and 
the name of the third, Keren-happuch. 

15 And in all the land were no women found 
so fair as the daughters of Job : and their father 

gave them inheritance among their brethren. i>ro''y^'?6*

PSALM I. 

1 The ha])piness of the godly. 4 The unhappinoss of 
the ungodly, 

BLESSED is the man " that M^alketh not in 
'' the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth 
in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of 
the scornful : 

2 But his "delight is in the law of the Lord ; 
and in his law doth he medhate day and night. 

3 And he shall be like a tree '^ planted by the 
rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in 
his " season : his leaf also shall not wither ; and 
whatsoever he doeth shall ' prosper. 

4 The ungodly are ^not so : but are like the 
*" chaff whicli the A\'ind driveth away. 

5 Therefore the ungodly shall ' not stand in 
the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of 
the righteous. 

6 For the Lord '' knoweth the way of the right- 
eous : but the way of the ungodly shall ' perish. 



PSALM n. 

1 The kingdom of Christ : 10 Kings are exhorted to ac- 
cept it. 

WHY do the heathen " rage, and the people

2 The ' kings of the earth set themselves, and 
the rulers take counsel together, against the 
Lord, and against his '^ Anointed, saying, 

3 Let us break their " bands asunder, and cast 
away their cords from us. 

4 He that "^ sitteth in the heavens shall laugh : 
the Lord shall have them in derision. 

5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, 
and ^ vex them in his sore displeasure. 

6 Yet have I '' set my king upon my holy hill 
of Zion. 

7 I will declare the ' decree : the Lord hath 
said unto me, Thou art my Son ; this day have 
I begotten thee.

7 Then the "" earth shook and trembled ; the '^ ^'^^ *» 
foundations also of the hills moved and were 
shaken, because he was " wroth. nPs.2,5. 

8 There went up ° a smoke out of his nostrils, "R^ev. ib 
and fire out of his mouth devoured : coals were 
kindled by it. 

9 P He bowed the heavens also, and came pPs. 144,

10 And he rode upon ^ a cherub, and did fly ; qGen.3,24. 
yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind. 

1 1 He made darkness his secret place : his 
pavilion round about him wei^e dark waters and 
thick clouds of the skies.

thick clouds passed ; h-dW-stones and coals of fire. 

13 The Lord also ■" thundered in the heavens, \^ Sam.z,

16 He sent from above, he took me, he drew 

me out of " many waters. j^^"^- ^^' 

17 He delivered me from my ^ strong enemy, ^j'^^''^"' 
and from them which hated me : for they were 

too strong for me. 

18 They prevented me in the day of my ca

19 He brought me forth also into "a large place 
he delivered me, because he delighted in me. 

20 The Lord rewarded me ''according to my ^^^"-^

have not " wickedly departed from my God.

me up, and " thy gentleness hath made me great. 

36 Thou hast '' enlarged my steps under me, 
that my feet did not slip. 

37 I have pursued mine enemies, and '' over- 
taken them : neither did I turn again till they 
were consumed. 

38 1 have ' wounded them that they were 
not able to rise : they are fallen under my feet. 

39 For thou hast ' girded me with strength 
unto the battle : thou hast subdued under me 
those that rose up against me. 

40 Thou hast rflso given me 'the necks of mine 
enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me. 

41 They cried, but there was none to save 
them : even unto the Lord, but he " answered 
them not. 

42 Then did 1 ' beat them small as the dust 
before the wind ; I did cast them out as the dirt 
in the streets. 

43 Thou hast delivered me from the striv- 
ings of the people ; and thou hast made me 
^ the head of the heathen : a people whom I 
have not known shall serve me. 

44 As soon as they hear of me, they shall 
oIk'v me : the strangers t shall submit them- 
selves nuto me. 

45 The strangers shall fade away, and be 
'' afraid out of their close places. 

46 The Lord " liveth ; and blessed be my rock ;

the people under me.

the "servant of the Lord. 

THE transgression of the wicked '' saith 
within my heart, that there is " no fear of 
God before his eyes. 

2 For he "* flattereth himself in his own 
until his iniquity be found to be hateful. 

3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and * de- 
ceit : he hath left off to ^ be wise, and to do good. 

4 ^ He deviseth mischief upon his bed ; he 
setteth himself in a way that is *" not good ; he 
abhorreth not evil. 

5 Thy mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens, 
and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds. 

6 Thy righteousness is like the great moun- 
tains ; thy judgments are a ' great deep : O Lord, 
thou ^ preservest man and beast. 

7 How ' excellent is thy loving-kindness, O 
God ! therefore "* the children of men put their 
trust under the shadow of thy wings. 

8 They shall be " abundantly satisfied with 
the fatness of thy house ; and thou shalt make 
them drink of the river of thy pleasures. 

9 For with thee is the ° fountain of life : in 
thy ^ light shall we see light. 

10 O continue thy loving-kindness unto them 
that know thee : and thy righteousness to the 

upright in heart. \ 



shall give thee the desires of thine heart. 

5 t Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust \^fi^°-j'' 
also in him, and he shall bring it to pass : ' " 

6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness

pereth in his way, because of the man who ^'^•^'^^• 

bringeth wicked devices to pass. 

8 Cease from '^ anger, and forsake wrath ; fret f Mark 5,3, 
not thyself in any wise to do evil. 

9 For evil-doers shall be ^cutoff: but those that s^^"- ^*' 
wait upon the Lord, they shall ^ inherit the earth. 

10 For ' yet a little while, and the wicked 
shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider 
his place, and it shall ^ not be. 

11 But the 'meek shall inherit the earth ; 
and shall delight themselves in the abundance 
of peace. 

12 The wicked plotteth against the just, and 
" gnasheth upon him with his teeth. 

13 The Lord shall "laugh at him; for he n"ps.2,4. 
seeth that ° his day is coming. » 1 Sam. 

14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, ' 
and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor 
and needy, and to slay such as be of upright 
conversation. 

15 Their sword shall enter into their ^ own pisam.31, 
heart, and their bows shall be broken. Ps. 7, 15. 

16'^ A little that a righteous man hath is bet- Jxim.e^,'!

1 9 They shall not be ashamed in the ' evil time ; f^^^ I' }^-

■^ a man ? ye shall be ^ slain all of you : as a bow- 
ing wall shall ye he, and as ^a tottering fence. 

4 They ^only consult to cast him down from 
his ^ excellency ; they delight ' in lies : they bless 
with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah. 

5 My soul, wait thou only upon God : for 
■" my expectation is from him. 

6 He only is ' my rock and my salvation ; he 
is my defence : I shall not be moved. 

7 In God is my salvation and "" my glory : the 
rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. 

8 Trust in him at all times, ye people ; ° pour 
out your heart before him : God is a refuge for 
us. Selah. 

9 Surely men of Mow degree are vanity, and 
men of high degree are ^ a lie : to be laid in the

9 Thou ° visitest the earth, and watcrest it: 
thou greatly enrichest it ^\ ith the river of God,

corn, when thou hast so provided for it. 

10 Thou '' waterest the ridges thereof abun-

God. 9 The story of God's wrath against the incre-

bisa. 5o, 3. ^jp ^jj^^g ^^^^ g^^^ ^^ ^j^^ words of my mouth. 

2 I will " open my mouth in ^ a parable ; I 
will utter dark sayings of old ; 

3 Which we have "^ heard and known, and our 
fathers have told us. 

4 We will not hide them from their cliildren, 
shewing to the generation to come tlie '' praises 
of the Lord, and his strength, and his won- 
derful works that he hath done. 

gisa.8,20. 5 For he established ^ a testimony in Jacob, 
and appointed a law in Israel, which he com- 
manded our fathers, that they should make them 
know'n '" to their children ; 

6 That the generation to come might know 
them, even the children which should be born, wVto 
should arise and ' declare thein to their children : 

7 That they might set their hojie in God, and 
not forget the works of God ; but keep his com- 
mandments : 

8 And might not be '= as their fathers, 'a stub- 
born and rebellious generation ; a generation 
that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit 
was not stedfast with God. 

9 The "^ children of Ephraim, beijig armed, 
and carrying bows, turned back in the day of 
battle. 

10 Tiiey kept not the covenant of God, and 
" refused to walk in his law ; 

1 1 And ° forgat his works, and his wonders 
that he had shewed thein. 



20 Behold, he ^ smote the rock, that the ^ Ex. 17, 6 
waters aushed out, and the streams overflowed ; 
can he " give bread also ? can he provide flesh I5. ^' ' 
for his people ? Mat. 6, 25. 

21 Therefore the Lord " heard this, and was ^ Num. 11,

their iniquity, and destroyed them, not : yea, 
t many a time turned he his anger away, and 
did not stir up all his wrath : 

39 For he remembered that they ivere but 
"■ flesh ; ' a wind that passeth away, and cometh 



not again. 

40 How oft did they provoke him in the 
wilderness, and ' grieve him in the desert ! 

41 Yea, they " turned back, and tempted 
God, and ^ limited the Holy One of Israel. 

42 They remembered not his hand, nor the 
day when he delivered them from the enemy : 

43 How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, 
and his wonders in the field of Zoan : 

44 And had turned their rivers into ^ blood ; 
and their floods, that they could not drink. 

45 He sent ^ divers sorts of flies among them, 
which devoured them ; and ^ frogs, which de- 
stroyed them. 

46 He gave also their increase unto the ^ ca- 
terpillar, and their labour unto *= the locust. 

47 He destroyed their vines with hail, and 
their sycamore-trees with || frost. 

48 He gave up their cattle also to the hail, 
and their flocks to '' hot thunderbolts. 

49 He cast upon them the fierceness of his 
anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by 
sending f evil angels among them. 

50 He made a way to his anger ; he spared 
not their soul from death, but gave their life 
over to the pestilence ; 

51 And smote all the ^ first-born in Egypt : 
the chief of iAefr strength in the tabernacles of 
fHam: 

52 But made his own people to go forth ^like 
sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a 
flock. 

53 And he led them on safely, so that they 
feared not : but the ** sea overwhelmed their 
enemies. 

54 And he brought them to the border of 'his 
sanctuary, even to this mountain, ivhich his 
^ right hand had purchased. 

55 He 'cast out the heathen also before them, 
and ™ divided them an inheritance by line, and 
made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents. 

56 Yet they " tempted and provoked the most 
high God, and " kept not his testimonies ; 

57 But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully 
like P their fathers : they were turned aside like 
"I a deceitful bow. 

58 For they provoked him to anger with 
their ''high places, and moved him to ^jealousy 
with their graven images. 

59 When God heard this, he was wroth, and 
greatly abhorred Israel : 

60 So that he forsook the tabernacle of *Shi- 
loh, the tent luhich he placed among men ; 



I'SALMS. a complaint of the desolation of Jerusalem. 

61 And delivered " his strength into captivity, ^j^ s*""-*' 
and his glory into the enemy's hand. 

62 He gave his people over also unto the 
sword ; and was wroth with his inheritance. 

63 The fire consumed their young men ; and 
their maidens were not given to marriage. 

64 Their "" priests fell by the sword ; and their ^ i Sam. 4, 
widows made ^ no lamentation. y [ sam. 4, 

Qb Then the Lord "awaked a;^ one out of ^ps. 44.^23^ 
sleep, and like a mighty man that shouteth by 
reason of wine. 

QQ And he ''smote his enemies m the hinder aisam.s, 
parts ; he put them to a perpetual reproach. 

67 Moreover, he refused the tabernacle of 
^ Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim ; b 1 Sam.e, 

68 But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount '^' 
Sion, which he loved. 

69 And he " built his sanctuary like high pa- <= 1 Kings 
laces, like the earth which he hath established *^'^'^' 
for ever. 

70 He chose David also his servant, and took 
him from the '^ sheep-folds : 

71 From follov^dng the ewes great with 
young, he brought him ^ to feed Jacob his peo- 
ple, and Israel his inheritance. 

72 vSo he fed them according to the integrity 
of his heart, and guided them by the f skilfulness t Heb 
of his hands.

PSALM CXLVII. 

] The Prophet exhorteth to praise God for his care of 
the churcli, 4 his power, 6 and his mercy : 7 to praise 
him for his providence : 12 to praise him for his bless- 
ings upon the kingdom, 16 for his power over the 
meteors, 19 and for his ordinances in the church. 

T3 RAISE ye the Lord: for it is 'good to 
-*- sing praises unto our God ; for it is plea- 
sant ; and praise ** is comely. 

2 The Lord doth ' build up Jerusalem : he 
^ gathereth together the outcasts of Israel. 

3 He healeth the * broken in heart, and ^ bind- 
eth up their wounds. 

4 s He telleth the number of the stars ; he 
calleth them all by their names. 

5 Great is our Lord, and of great power : 
his understanding is ^ infinite. 

6 The Lord ' lifteth up the meek: he casteth 
the wicked ^ down to the ground. 

7 Sing unto the Lord with thanksgiving ; 
t sing praise upon the harp unto our God ; 

8 Who covcrcth the heaven with ' clouds, 
who prepareth "^ rain for the earth, who maketh 
grass to grow upon the mountains. 

9 He giveth to the beast his " food, and to the 
"young ravens which cry. 

10 He delighteth not in the strength of the 
horse ; he takelh not pleasure in the legs of a man. 

11 The Lord taketh pleasure in them that 
fear him, in those that hope in his mercy. 

12 Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem ; praise thy 
God, O Zion. 

13 For he hath strengthened the bars of thy 
gates ; he hath blessed Pthy children within thee. 

14 He maketh 1 peace in thy borders, and 
filleth thee with the finest of the wheat. 

15 He sendeth forth his commandment upon 
earth : his word runneth very swiftly.

CHAPTER I. 

1 The use of the proverbs. 7 An exhortation to fear 
God and believe his word : 10 To avoid the enticings 
of sinners. 20 Wisdom complaineth of her contempt : 
24 She threateneth her contemners, 

^f^HE '^ Proverbs of Solomon, the son of Da- 
-*- vid, king of Israel ; 

2 To know ^ wisdom and instruction ; *= to 
perceive the words of understanding ; 

3 To receive the instruction "^ of wisdom, jus- 
tice, and judgment, and "^equity ; 

4 To give ^ subtilty to the simple, to the 
young man knowledge and discretion, 

5 A wise man will hear, and ° will increase 
learning ; and a man of understanding shall at- 
tain unto wise counsels ; 

6 To understand a proverb, and the inter- 
pretation ; the words of the wise, and their 
'' dark sayings, 

7 The ' fear of the Lord is the beginning 
of knowledge : hut fools despise wisdom and 
instruction. 

8 My son, ^ hear the instruction of thy fa- 
ther, and forsake not the law of thy mother : 

9 For they shall he ' an ornament of grace 
unto thy head, and chains about thy neck. 

10 My son, if sinners ° entice thee, ° consent 
thou not. 

1 1 If they ° say, p Come with us, let us lay 
wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the inno- 
cent without cause : 

12 Let us 'i swallow them up alive, as the 
grave ; and whole, as those that go down into 
the pit: 

13 We shall find all "" precious substance, we 
shall * fill our houses with spoil : 

14 Cast in thy lot among us ; let us all have 
one purse. 

15 My son, * walk not thou in the way with 
them ; refrain thy foot from their path : 

16 For their " feet run to evil, and make 
haste to shed blood : 



17 (Surely in vain the net is spread in the 
sight of any bird :) 

18 And they lay wait ^ for their own blood ; 
they lurk privily for their own lives. 

19 So are the ways of every one that ^ is 
greedy of gain ; loMch '^ taketh away the life of 
the owners thereof. 

20 '"" Wisdom crieth without ; she ^ uttereth 
her voice in the streets ; 

21 She crieth in the "= chief place of concourse, 
in the openings of the gates : in the city she ut- 
tereth her words, saying, 

'22. ^ How long, ye simple ones, will ye love 
simplicity, and the scorners delight in their 
scorning, and fools hate knowledge ? 

23 Turn ye at my reproof; behold, I will 
t pour out my spirit unto you, I will make 
known my words unto you. 

24 Because I have ^ called, and ye refused ; 
I have stretched out my hand, and no man re- 
garded ; 

25 But ye have ^ set at nought all my coun- 
sel, and would none of my reproof; 

26 I also will ^ laugh at your calamity ; I 
will mock when your '' fear cometh. 

27 When your fear cometh as desolation, 
and your ' destruction cometh as a whirlwind ; 
when distress and anguish cometh upon you ; 

28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will 
'' not answer ; they shall seek me early, but 
they shall not find me : 

29 For that they ' hated knowledge, and did 
" not choose the fear of the Lord : 

30 They would " none of my counsel ; they 
despised all my reproof: 

31 Therefore shall they ° eat of the fruit of 
their own way, and be p filled with their own 
devices. 

32 For the turning away of the simple shall 
slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall de- 
stroy them. 

33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell 
safely, and shall be 1 quiet from fear of evil.

CHAPTER II. 

1 Wisdom promiseth godliness to her children, 10 and 
safety from evil company, 20 and direction in good ways. 

"IVTY son, if thou wilt receive my words, and 
±tX a \y\^Q jjiy commandments with thee ; 

2 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, 
and ^ apply thine heart to understanding ; 

3 Yea, if thou *= criest after knowledge, and 
liftest up thy voice for understanding ; 

4 If thou '' seekest her as silver, and * search- 
est for her as fc^ hid treasures ; 

5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the

6 For the LoRD^giveth wisdom : out of his 
mouth Cometh knowledge and understanding ; 

7 He layeth up ^ sound wisdom for the righte- 
ous : he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly. 

8 He keepeth the ' paths of judgment, and 
^ preserveth the way of his saints. 

9 Then shalt thou understand righteousness,

10 When wisdom entereth into thine heart,

2 A good man obtaiiicth favour of the Lord :

5 The thoughts of the righteous are ^ right :

7 The wicked are overthrown, and ' are not :

8 A man shall be commended "according to

7 There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath

7 The legs of the lame are not equal ; so is 
a parable in the mouth of fools. 

8 As he that bindeth a stone in a sling ; so 
ff Ps. 15,4. is he that ° giveth honour to a fool. 

9 As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a 
drunkard ; so is a parable in the mouth of fools. 

10 The great God^ that formed all things, 
both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth trans- 
gressors. 

1 1 As a dog ^ returneth to his vomit ; so a 
fool returneth to his follj. 

12 Seest thou a man ' wise in his own con- 
ceit ? there is more hope of a fool than of him. 

13 The slothful man saith, There is ^ a. lion 
in the way, a lion is in the streets. 

14 ^5 the door turneth upon his hinges, so 
doth the slothful upon his bed. 

15 The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom ; 
it ' grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth. 

16 The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit 
than seven men that can " render a reason. 

17 He that passeth by, aw^ ° meddleth with 
strife belonging not to him, is like one that 
taketh a dog by the ears. 

18 As a mad man, who casteth firebrands, 
arrows, and death ; 

19 So is the man that deceiveth his neigh- 
bour, and saith, Am not I ° in sport ? 

20 Where no p wood is, there the fire goeth 
out ; so where there is no tale-bearer, the strife 
ceaseth. 

21 As coals are to burning coals, and wood 
to fire ; so is a ^ contentious man to kindle strife. 

22 The words of a tale-bearer are as wounds, 
and they go down into the innermost parts of 
the belly. 

23 "■ Burning lips, and a wicked heart, are 
like a potsherd covered with silver dross. 

24 He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, 
and layeth up deceit within him ; 

25 When he speaketh fair, ^believe him not: 
for there are seven abominations in his heart. 

26 Whose hatred is covered by 'deceit, his 
wickedness shall be shewed before the ivhole 
congregation. 

27 Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein ; and 
he that " rolleth a stone, it will return upon him. 

28 A lying tongue hateth those that are ^ af- 
flicted by it ; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.

4 Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous ; 
but who is able to stand before ^ envy ? 

5 ' Open rebuke is better than ^ secret love. 

6 Faithful are the w^ounds of a friend ; but 
the kisses of an enemy are deceitful. 

7 The *" full soul ' loatheth an honey-comb ; but 
to the '' hungry soul every bitter thing is ' sweet. 

8 As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so 
is a man that wandereth from his place. 

9 Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart ; 
, so doth the ""sweetness of a man's friend by 
i heart v counsel. 

\ 10 " Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, 
i forsake not ; neither go into thy brother's house 
in the day of thy calamity : for better is a neigh- 
bour that is near than a biother far ofl". 

1 1 My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, 
that I may answer him that reproacheth me. 

12 A prudent man forcseeth the evil, atid 
hideth himself : but the simple pass on, and are 
punished. 

13 Take his garment that is surety for a 
stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange 
woman. 

14 He that blesseth his friend with °a loud 
voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be 
counted a curse to him. 

15 A continual dropping in a very rainy day, 
and a contentious woman, are alike. 

16 Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, 
and the ointment of his right hand, which be- 
wrayeth itself. 

17 Iron p sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpen- 
eth the countenance of his friend. 

18 Whoso keepeth the fig-tree shall eat the 
fruit thereof ; so he that "^ waiteth on his master 
shall be honoured. 

19 As in water, face answereth to face ; so the 
heart of man to man. 

20 Hell and destruction are never full ; ■■ so 
the eyes of man are never satisfied, 

21 As the fining-pot for silver, and the fur- 
nace for gold ; so is a man to h.is praise. 

22 Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a 
mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not 
' his foolishness depart from him. 

23 Be thou diligent ' to know the state of thy 
flocks, and look well to thy herds ; 

24 For t riches are not for ever : and doth the 
" crown endure to every generation ? 

25 The "" hay appeareth, and the tender grass 
sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are 
gathered : 

26 The y lambs are for thy clothing, and the 
goats are the price of thy field ; 

27 And thou shalt have ^ goats' milk enough 
for thy food, for the food of thy household, and 
for the maintenance of thy maidens.

Of impiety, religious integrity, CHAPTERS 

CHAPTER XXVni. 

General observations of impiety, and religious integrity. 

THE * wicked flee when no man pursueth : 
but the righteous are ^ bold as a lion. 

2 For the transgression of a land many are 
the princes thereof: but by a man of under- 
standing and knowledge the state thereof shall 
be ' prolonged. 

3 A poor man that "^ oppresseth the poor is like 
a sweeping rain, which leaveth no food. 

4 They that forsake the law ^ praise the wick- 
ed: but such as keep the law ''contend with them. 

5 Evil men ^ understand not judgment : but 
they that seek the Lord ^ understand all things. 

6 Better is the poor that walketh in his up- 
\b^°^' ~' rig'i^iiess, than/ie thai i.9 perverse j in his ways, 

thougli he be rich. 

7 Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son : but 
he that is a companion of riotous men, shamcth 
his father. 

8 He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth 
his substance, he shall gather it for him that will 
pity the poor. 

9 He that ' turneth awav his ear from hearing; 
the law, even hi^prayer shall be abomination. 

10 Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray 
in an evil way, he shall fall himself into Irs 
own pit : but the upright shall have ^ good things 
in possession. 

1 1 The rich man is wise ' in his own con- 
ceit ; but the poor that hath 
searcheth him cut. 

12 When righteous men do ^ rejoice, there is 
great glory : but when the wicked rise, a man is 
" hidden. 

13 He that "covereth his sins shall not pros- 
per : but whoso p confessoth and forsaketh them 
shall have mercy. 

14 Happy is the man that "^ feareth alway : 
but he that "" hardeneth his heart shall fall into 
mischief. 

15 Asa^ roaring lion, and a ranging bear ; so 
is * a wicked ruler over the poor people. 

16 The prince that wanteth understanding is 
also a great oppressor : lut he that hateth covet- 
ousness shall prolong his days. 

17 A man that doeth violence to the blood of 
aiiy person shall fly to the pit ; let no man stay him. 

18 AVhoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: 
but //e that is "perverse m Azs ways shall fall 
at once. 

19 He that tilleth his land shall have Aplenty 
of bread : but he that foUoweth after yainper- 

y Job 7, 4. sons shall have >' poverty enough. 
ilikhS' 20 A faithful man shall abound with bless-

not be innocent.

CHAPTER XXX. 

1 Agur's confession of his faith. 7 The two points of ( 
his prayer. 10 The meanest are not to be wronged. 
11 Four wicked generations. 15 Four things in- 
satiable. 17 Parents are not to be despised. 18 Four 
things hard to be known. 21 Four things intolerable. 
24 Four things exceeding wise. 29 Four things stately. 
32 Wrath is to be prevented. 

^I^HE words of Agur the son of Jakeh, even 
-^ the prophecy : The man spake unto Ithiel, 
even unto Ithiel and Ucal, 

2 Surely I am ^ more brutish than any man, 
and have not the understanding '^ of a man. 

3 I neither " learned wisdom, nor have the 
knowledge of the. holy. 

4 W^ho hath '^ ascended up into heaven, or 
descended ? who hath gathered the ® wind in his 
fists .'' who hath bound the waters in a garment ? 
who hath established all the ends of the earth ? 
' what is his name, and what is his son's name, 
if thou canst tell ? 

5 2 Every word of God is pure ; he is a shield 
unto them that put their trust in him. 

6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he *■ re- 
prove thee, and thou be found a liar. 

7 Two things have I required of thee ; ' deny 
me them not before I die : 

8 Remove far from me vanity and lies ; give 
me neither poverty nor riches ; feed me with 
'' food convenient for me : 



u Gen. 9, 

22. 



X Ps. 8, 1. 



1 8 There be three things which are too ^ won 
derful for me, yea, four, which I know not : 

1 9 The way of an eagle in the air, the way of 
a serpent upon a rock, the way of a ship in the 
midst of the sea, and the way of a man with a maid. 

20 Such is the way of an ^ adulterous wo- 
man ; she eateth, and " wipeth her mouth, and 
saith, I have * done no wickedness. 

21 For three things the earth is disquieted, 
and for four which it cannot bear : 

22 For a servant when he reigneth, and a 
fool when he is *" filled with meat ; 

23 For an odious wo^nanwhen she is married, 
and an handmaid that is heir to her mistress. 

24 There be four things which are ' little upon 
the earth, but they are exceeding wise : 

25 The ants arc a people not strong, yet they 
prepare their meat in the summer ; 

26 The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make, 

they their houses in the "^ rocks ; S,^2.^& 

27 The locusts have no king, yet go they forth 40^i7j ^^^ 
all of them by bands ; 

28 The spider taketh hold with her hands, 
and is in kings' palaces. 

29 There be three things which go well, yea,

3 Yea, better is he than both they which hath

God ; for God is in heaven, and thou 
' earth : therefore let thy words be "^ few. 

3 For a dream cometh through the multitude 
of business ; and ^ a fool's voice is knoitm by 
multitude of words. 

4 When thou ^ vowest a vow unto God, defer 
not s to pay it ; for he hath no pleasure in fools : 
pay that which thou hast vowed. 

3 Better is it that thou shouldest *" not vow, 
than that thou shouldest vow and not pay. 

6 Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to 
sin -neither say thou before the ' angel, that it was 
an error : wherefore should God be '' an«gry at 
thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands ? 

7 For in the multitude of dreams and many 
words there are also divers vanities : but ' fear 
thou God. 

8 If thou seest the oppression of the poor, 
and violent perverting of judgment and justice

The Creator to be remembered in youth. 
CHAPTER XII. 

The Creator is to be remembered in due time. 8 The 
Preacher's care to edify. 13 The fear of God is the 
chief antidote of vanity. 

EMEMBER now thy Creator in the » days 
of thy youth, while the evil days come 
not, nor the '' years draw nigh, when thou diaJt 
say, I have no pleasure in them ; 

2 While the sun, or the light, or the moon, 
or the stars, be not darkened ; nor the clouds 
return after the rain : 

3 In the day when the •= keepers of the house 
shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow 
themselves, and the grinders cease because they 
are few, and those that look out of the win- 
dows be darkened ; 

4 And the doors shall be shut in the streets, 
when the sound of the grinding is low ; and he 
shall rise up at the voice of the bird ; and all 
'' the daughters of music shall be brought low : 

5 Also when they shall be afraid of that ivhich 
is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the 
almond-tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper 
shall be a burden, and desire shall fail ; because 
man goeth to his * long home, and the mourners 
go about the streets :

deformity, 7 and prayeth to be directed to his flock. 
8 Christ directeth her to the shepherds' tents : 9 and 
shewing his love to her, 1 1 giveth her gracious pro- 
mises. 12 The church and Christ congratulate one 
another. ^ 

THE ^ Song of songs, which is Solomon's. 
2 Let ^ him kiss me with the kisses of his 
mouth : for thy "= love is better than wine. 

3 Because of the '^ savour of thy good oint- 
ments, thy ^ name is as ointment poured forth, 
therefore do the virgins love thee. 

4 Draw me, we will ^ run after thee. The 
King hath brought me into his ^ chambers : we 
will be glad and rejoice in thee ; we will re- 
member thy love more than w^ine : the upright 
love thee. 

b I am black, but '' comely, O ye daughters 
of Jerusalem ; as the tents of Kedar, as the cur- 
tains of Solomon. 

6 Look not upon me, because I am * black, 
because the sun hath looked upon me : my 
^ mother's children were angry with me ; they 
made me the keeper of the vineyards ; but mine 
own vineyard have I not kept. 

7 Tell me, O thou whom mv soul loveth. 



where thou ' feedest, where thou makest thy 
fiock to rest at noon : for why should I be as 
one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy com- 
panions ? 

8 If thou know not, O thou fairest among 
women, go thy way forth by the " footsteps of 
the flock, and feed thy kids beside the shep- 
herds' tents. 

9 I have compared thee, O " my love, to a 
company of horses in Pharaoh's " chariots. 

10 Thy cheeks are comely with rows of jew- 
els, thy neck with p chains of gold. 

1 1 'I We will make thee borders of gold, with 
studs of silver. 

12 While the King sitteth at his ' table, my

to me ; he shall lie all night ' betwixt my breasts.

CHAPTER L 

2 Isaiah complaineth of Judah for her rebelHon : 5 He 
lamenteth her judgments : 10 He iipbraideth their 
whole service : IG He exhorteth to repentance, with 
promises andthreatenings. 21 Be'.vaihng their wicked- 
ness, he denounceth God's judgments : 25 He pro- 
miseth grace, 28 and threatenelh destruction to the 
wicked. 

rSlpIE vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which 
-^ he ^ saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, 
in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and 
Hezekiah, kings of Judah. 

2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth; 
for the Lord hath ''spoken: I have 'nourished 
and brought up children, and they have rebelled 



against 



me 



o The '^ ox knoweth his owner, and the ass 
his master's crib : hut Israel doth not know, my 
people doth ^ not consider. 

4 Ah, sinful nation, a people ^ laden with ini- 
quity, ° a seed of evil-doers, children that are 
corrupters! they have forsaken the Lord, they 
have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto an- 
ger, they are gone away backward. 

5 Why should ye be stricken *" any more ? ye 
will revolt more and more. The whole head is 
sick, and the whole heart faint. 

6 From the ' sole of the foot even unto the 
head there is no soundness in it ; but wounds, 
and bruises, and putrefying sores : they have 
''not been closed, neither bound up, neither 
mollified with ointment. 

7 Your country is ' desolate, your cities are 
" burnt with fire : your land, strangers devour 
it in your presence, and it is desola'e, as over- 
thrown by strangers. 

8 And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage 
in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucum- 
bers, as a II besieged city. 

9 " Except the Lord of hosts had left unto 
us a very small remnant, we should have been 
" as Sodom, and we should have been like unto 
Gomorrah. 

10 Hear the word of the Lord, ye p rulers 
of Sodom ; give ear '^ unto the law of our God, 
ye people of Gomorrah : 

1 1 To what purpose is the ' multitude of your 
sacrifices unto me ? saith the Lord : I am full 
of the burnt-offerings of rams, and the fat of fed 
beasts ; and I ' delight not in the blood of bul- 
lock.s, or of lambs, or of he-goats. 

12 When ye come to appear before me, 
who hath * required this at your hand to tread 
my courts ? 

13 Bring no more "vain oblations: incense is 
an abomination unto me ; the new moons and sab-

14 Your new moons and your appointed

they shall be as ^ white as snow ; though they gRev. i, 
be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. ^*' 

19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat 
the good of the land : 

20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be de- 
voured with the sword : for the ^ mouth of the h Titus 1,2.

stretched-forth f necks and ^wanton eyes, walk-

1 7 Therefore the Lord will smite with a *= scab

2 *• In that day shall the ® Branch of the Lord 
be ^ beauti^ful and glorious, and the fruit of the 
earth shall be excellent and comely for them 
that are ° escaped of Israel. 

3 And it shall come to pass, that he that is 
left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, 
shall be called " holy, eveji every one that is 
' written among the living in Jerusalem : 

4 When the Lord shall have washed away 
the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have 
purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst 
thereof, by the ^ spirit of judgment, and by the 
spirit of burning. 

5 And the Lord will create upon every dwell- 
ing-place of mount Zion, and upon her assem- 
blies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining 
of a flaming fire by night : for upon all the 
glory shall be ' a defence. 

6 And there shall be a tabernacle for a sha- 
dow in the day-tim.e from the heat, and for " a 
place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and 
from ° rain.

severe judgment: 8His judgments upon covetousness, 
11 upon lasciviousness, 13 upon impiety, 20 and upon 
injustice. 26 The executioners of God's judgments. 

"OW will I sing to my ^ well-beloved a song 
of my beloved touching his ''vineyard. 
My well-beloved hath a vineyard in a very 
fruitful hill : 

2 And he fenced it, and gathered out the 
stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest 
vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and 
also made a wine-press therein : and he *= looked 
that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought 
forth "^ wild grapes. 

3 And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and 
men of Judah, ^ judge, I pray you, betwixt me 
and my vineyard. 

4 What could have been done more to my 
vineyard ^ that I have not done in it ? wherefore, 
when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, 
brought it forth wild grapes ? 

5 And now, go to ; I will tell you what I will 
do to my vineyard : I will ^ take away the hedge 
thereof, and it shall be eaten up ; and break 
down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden 
down : 

6 x\nd I will lay it '' waste : it shall not be 
' pruned nor digged : but there shall come up 
briers and thorns : 1 will also command the 
clouds that they rain no rain upon it.

build with hcAvn stones ; the ^ sycamores are cut

17 Therefore the Lord shall have ' no joy in

' an hypocrite and an evil-doer, and every mouth 
speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not

and in their streets, every one shall howl, weep-

the armed soldiers of Moab shall cry out ; *= his , 
life shall be grievous unto him. 

5 My heart shall *■ cry out for Moab ; his fu-

late : for the hay is withered away, the grass 
faileth, there is no green thing. 

7 ThereCore the abundance they have gotten, 
and that which they have laid up, shall they 
carry away to the brook of the 'willows.

CHAPTER XVI. 

1 Moab is exhorted to yield obedience to Christ's king- 
dom. 6 Moab is threatened for her pride. 9 The 
prophet bewaileth her. 12 The judgment of Moab. 

SEND ye the " lamb to the *" ruler of the land 
from Sela to the wilderness, unto the mount 
of the daughter of Zion. 

2 For it shall be, that as a •= wandering bird 
cast out of the nest, so the daughters of Moab 
shall be at the fords of Arnon, 

3 Take counsel, execute judgment, make thy 
shadow as the night in the midst of the noon- 
day ; hide the '' outcasts, ^ bewray not him that 
wandereth. 

4 Let mine outcasts ^ dwell with thee, Moab : 
be thou a covert to them from the face of the 
spoiler : for the extortioner is at an end, the 
spoiler ceaseth, the oppressors are consumed out 
of the land. 

5 And in mercy shall the throne be establish- 
ed ; and he shall ^ sit upon it in truth in the ta- 
bernacle of David, judging and seeking ''judg- 
ment, and hasting righteousness. 

6 We have heard of the pride of Moab ; he is 
' very proud : even of his haughtiness, and his 
pride, and his wrath : but his "lies shall not be so. 

7 Therefore shall Moab hoAvl for Moab, every 
one shall howl : for the ' foundations of Kir-hare- 
seth shall ye mourn ; surely they are stricken. 

8 For the fields of Heshbon " languish, and 
the vine of Sibmah : the lords of the heathen 
have broken down the principal plants thereof, 
they are come even unto Jazer, they wandered 



through the wilderness ; her branches are stretch- 
ed out, they are gone over the sea : 

9 Therefore I will ° bewail with the weep- 
ing of Jazer the vine of Sibmah : I will water 
thee with my tears, O Heshbon, and Elealeh ; 
for the shouting for thy summer-fruits, and for 
thy harvest, is fallen. 

10 And ° gladness is taken away, and joy 
out of the plentiful field ; and in the vineyards 
there shall be no singing, neither shall there be 
shouting : the treaders shall tread out no wine 
in their presses ; I have made their vintage- 
shouting to cease. 

1 1 Wherefore my bowels shall sound like an 
p harp for Moab, and mine inward parts for 
Kir-haresh. 

12 And it shall "^ come to pass, when it is 
seen that Moab is weary on the high place, that 
he shall come to his sanctuary ■■ to pray ; but he 
shall ^ not prevail. 

13 This is the word that the Lord hath spo- 
ken concerning Moab since that time. 

14 But now the Lord hath spoken, saying, 
* Within three years, as the years of an " hire- 
ling, and the glory of Moab shall be contemned, 
with all that great multitude ; and the remnant 
shall be very small and feeble.

-^ mascus is taken away from being a city, 
and it shall be a ruinous heap.

shall be for flocks which shall lie down, and 
none shall •= make them afraid. 

3 The fortress shall also cease from Ephraim, 
and the kingdom from Damascus, and the rem- 
nant of Syria : they shall be "^ as the glory of the 
children of Israel, saith the Lord of hosts. 

4 And in that day it shall come to pass, that 
the glory of Jacob shall be made ^ thin, and the 
f fatness of his flesh shall wax lean. 

5 And it shall be as when the harvest-man 
^ gathereth the corn, and reapeth the ears with 
his arm ; and it shall be as he that gathereth 
ears in the valley of Rephaim. 

6 Yet '" gleaning-grapes shall be ' left in it, as 
the shaking of an olive-tree, two or three ber- 
ries in the top of the uppermost bough, four or 
five in the outmost fruitful branches thereof, 
saith the Lord God of Israel. 

7 At that day shall a man ^ look to his Maker, 
and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One 
of Israel. 

8 And he shall not look to the ' altars, the 
work of his hands, neither shall respect that

18 And it shall come to pass, tliat he who

the pit shall be taken in the snare : for the 
^ windows from on high are open, and the

earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved 
exceedingly. 

20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a 
drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage ; 
and the transgression thereof shall be heavy 
upon it ; and it shall fall, and ' not rise again. 

21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that 
the Lord shall punish the host of the ^ high 
ones that are on high, and the • kings of the 
earth upon the earth. 

22 And they shall be ° gathered together as

CHAPTER XXV. 

1 The prophet praiseth God for his judgments, 6 for 
his savins: benefits, 9 and for his victorious salvation. 

/^ LORD, thou art my God ; I will " exalt 
^^ thee, I will jjraise thy name : for thou hast 
done ^ wonderful things ; thy counsels of old are 
faithfulness and truth. 

2 For thou hast made of a "= city an "^ heap ; 
of a defcnced city a ruin : a palace of strangers 
to be no city ; it shall never be built. 

3 Therefore shall the strong people ^ glorify 
thee, the city of the ^ terrible nations shall fear 
thee. 

4 For thou hast been a strength to the poor, 
a strength to the needy in his distress, a ^ refuge 
from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when 
the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against 
the wall. 

5 Thou shalt bring down the noise of stran- 
gers as the heat in a dry place ; even the heat 
with the shadow of a cloud : the branch of the 
*" terrible ones shall be brought low. 

6 And in this ' mountain shall the Lord of 
hosts make unto ^- all people a feast of fat things, 
a feast of wines on the lees ; of fat things full 
of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined. 

7 And he will destroy in this mountain the 
face of the ' covering cast over all people, and 
the vail that is spread over all nations. 



8 He will " swallow up death in victory ; and christ 
the Lord God will wipe away tears from off cw.m. 
all faces ; and the ° rebuke of his people shall ^-'■'v''-^ 
he take away from off all the earth : for the 13, iT^' 
Lord hath spoken it. l^^"''- '^' 

9 And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is "i P'^'-'i- 
° our God ; we have waited for him, and he will o'l Tim. 5., 
save us : this is the Lord ; we have ^ A\'aited for p"^Titus2, 
him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation. '^• 

10 For in this mountain shall the hand of the 
Lord rest, and JMoab shall be trodden down 

"i under him, even as straw is trodden down for q -Mai. 4, 3. 
the dunghill. 

1 1 And he shall "■ spread forth his hands in the '"^s. no,2. 
midst of them, as he that swimmeth spreadeth 

forth his hands to swim ; and he shall bring 

down their ^ pride together with the spoils of ^ James 4. 

their hands. 

12 And the fortress of the high fort of thy 

^ walls shall he bring down, lay low, and bring j^^^jo^* 
to the ground, even to the dust. 

CHAPTER XXVI. 

1 A song inciting to confidence in God, 5 for his judg- 
ments, 12 and for his favour to his people. 20 An 
exhortation to wait on God. 



IN " that day shall this song be sung in the land 
of Judah ; We have a '' strong city : salvation 
will God appoint for " walls and bulwarks. 

2 Open ye the gates, that the '' righteous na- 
tion which " kecpeth the truth may enter in. 

3 Thou wilt keep him in '' perfect peace. 
whose mind is ^ stayed on ihee; because he trust- 
eth in thee. 

4 '" Trust ye in the Lord for ever : for in 
the Lord JEHOVAH w everlasting strength. 

5 For he bringeth down them that dwell on 
high ; the lofty city he layeth it low : he layeth 
it low, even to the ground ; he bringeth it even 
to the dust. 

6 The foot shall tread it down, even the ' feet 
of the poor and the steps of the needy. 

7 The ^vay of the just 7.S "uprightness : thou, 
most upright, dost ' weigh the path of the just. 

8 Yea, in "the way of thy judgments, O Lord, 
have we waited for thee ; the desire of our soul 
is to " thy name, and to the remembrance of 
thee, 

9 With my soul have I desired thee in ° the 
night ; yea, with my spirit within me Avill I seek 
thee early: for when thy judgments are in the 
earth, the inhabitants of the world will ^ learn 
righteousness. 

10 Let 1 favour be shewed to the wicked, yet 
will he not learn righteousness : in the land of 
uprightness will he deal ' unjustly, and will not 
behold the majesty of the Lord. 

1 1 Lord, ivhen thy hand is lifted up, they will 
= not see : but they ' shall see, and be ashamed

6 He shall cause them that come of Jacob to 
^ take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and 
' fill the face of the world with fruit. 

7 Hath he ""smitten him, "as he smote those 
that smote him ? or is he slain according to the L^hS^' 
slaughter of them that are slain by him? 

8 ° In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou 
wilt debate with it : he ■' stayeth his rough wind 
in the day of the east wind. 

9 By this, therefore, shall the iniquity of Jacob 
be "> purged ; and this is all the fruit to take 
away his sin; when he maketh all the stones Ueb. 12,9, 
of the altar as chalk-stones that are beaten in ^°' 
sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up. 

10 Yet the defenced city shall be desolate, and 
the habitation forsaken, and left like a wilder- 
ness : there shall the calf feed, and there shall 
he lie down, and consume the branches thereof. 

1 1 When the boughs thereof are withered, 
they shall be broken off: the women come and 

set them •■ on fire ; for it is a people of ' no un- r Mat. 3,

3 Then came forth unto him Eliakim, Hilkiah's 
son, which ivas over the house, and Shebna the V%%C' 
scribe, and Joah, Asaph's son, the recorder. 

4 And Rabshakeh said unto them. Say ye 
now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the ^ great kin?, ePs.69,4. 
the king of Assyria, '^What confidence is this 23. ' 
wherein thou trustest? fNeh.2,i9.

10 And am I now come ^ up without the pch- 10, 5 
Lord against this land to destroy it ? ^ The q^sKjngs 
Lord said unto me. Go up against this land, and 

J destroy it. 

\ 11 Then said Eliakim, and Shebna, and 
Joah, unto Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, unto 
thy servants in the Syrian language ; for we 
understand it : and speak not to us in the Jews' 
language, in the ears of the people that are on 
the wall. 

12 But Rabshakeh said. Hath my master sent 
me to thy master and to thee, to speak these 
words ? hath he not sent me to the men that sit 
upon the wall, that they may "" eat their 
dung and drink their own piss with you ? 

13 Then Rabshakeh stood, and 'cried 
a loud voice in the Jews' language, and 
Hear ye the words of the great king, the 
of Assyria : 

14 Thus saith the king. Let not Hezekiah 
deceive you ; for he ' shall not be able to deliver 
you.

ing, * The Lord will deliver us. Hath any of 
the " gods of the nations delivered his land out 
of the hand of the king of Assyria ? 

19 Where are the gods of Hamath and Ar- 
pad ? where are the gods of Sepharvaim ? and 
have they delivered Samaria out of my hand 

20 Who are they " among all the gods of these 
lands that have delivered their land out of my 
hand, that the Lord should deliver Jerusalem 
out of my hand ? 

21 But they "^ held their peace, and answered 
him not a word : for the kinjr's commandment 
was, saymg. Answer him not. 

22 Then came Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, 
that was over the household, and Shebna the 
scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph, the recorder, 
to Hezekiah with their ^ clothes rent, and told 
him the words of Rabshakeh. 

CHAPTER XXXVH. 

1 Hezekiah mourning, sendetii to Isaiah to pray for them. 
6 Isaiah comforteth them. 8 Sennacherib going to 
encounter Tirhakah, sendeth a blasphemous letter to 
Hezekiah. 15 Hezekiah's prayer. 21 Isaiah's pro- 
phecy of the pride and destruction of Sennacherib, and 
the good of Zion. 36 An angel slayeth the Assyrians. 
38 Sennacherib is slain at Nineveh by his own sons. 

\ ND it came to pass, when king Hezekiah 
-^^*- heard it, that he rent his clothes, and co- 
vered himself with sackcloth, and ^ went into 
the house of the Lord. 

2 And he sent Eliakim, who ivas over the 
household, and Shebna the scribe, and the el- 
ders of the priests covered with sackcloth, ''unto 
Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz. 

3 And they said unto him. Thus saith Heze- 
kiah, This day is a day of "^ trouble, and of re- 
buke, and of blasphemy : for the children are 
come to the birth, and there is not strength to 
brin*; forth. 

4 It may be the Lord thy "^ God will hear the 
words of Kabshakeh, ^^hom the king of Assyria 
his master hath sent to ^ reproach the living 
God, and will reprove the words which the 
Lord tliy God hath ^ heard : wherefore ^ lift 
up thy prayer for the *" remnant that is left. 

5 So the servants of king Hezekiah came to 
Isaiah. 

6 And Isaiah said unto them. Thus shall ye 
say unto your master, Tims saith the Lord, Be 
not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, 



-A 

t 



Sennacherib's blasphemous 

wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria 
have ' blasphemed me. 

7 Behold, I will send a blast upon him ; and 
he shall hear a rumour, and '' return to his own 
land ; and I will cause him to fall by the 'sword 
in his own land. 

8 So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king 
of Assyria warring against Libnah : for he had 
heard that he was departed from " Lachish. 

9 And he " heard say concerning Tirhakah 
king of Ethiopia, He is come forth to make 
war with thee : and when he heard it, he sent 
messengers to Hezekiah, saying, 

10 Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of 
Judah, saying. Let not thy God in whom thou 
°trustest deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall 
not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria. 

1 1 Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of 
Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying 
them utterly ; and shalt thou be delivered ? 

12 Have the gods of the nations delivered 
them AA'hich my fathers have destroyed, as Go- 
zan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children 
of Eden which were in Telassar ? 

13 Where is the kino; of Hamath, and the 
king of Arpad, and tiie king of the city of Seph- 
arvaim, Hena, and Ivah ? 

14 And Hezekiah received the letter from 
the hand of the messengers, and read it : and 
Hezekiah went up unto the house of the Lord, 
and spread it p before the Lord. 

15 And Hezekiah prayed unto the Lord, 
saying, 

16 O 1 Lord of hosts, God of Israel, ■■ that 
dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the 
God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of 
the earth ; thou hast made heaven and earth. 

17 " Incline thine ear, O Lord, and hear; 
open thine eyes, O Lord, and see ; and hear 
all the Avords of Sennacherib, Avhich hath sent 
to reproach the living God. 

1 u Of a truth. Lord, the kings of Assyria have 
laid Avaste all the nations, and their countries, 

19 And have cast their gods into the 'fire ; 
for they were no gods, but the " Avork of men's 
hands, Avood and stone ; therefore they have 
destroyed them. 

20 Now, therefore, O Lord our God, saA'e 
us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the 
earth ^ may knoAv that thou art the Lord, even 
thou only. 

21 >' Then Isaiah, the son of Amoz, sent unto 
Hezekiah, saying. Thus saith the Lord God of 
Israel, Whereas thou hast prayed to me against 
Sennaclierib king of Assyria : 

22 This is the Avord AA^hich the Lord hath 
spoken concerning him, The H'irgin, the daugh- 
ter of Zion. hath despised thee, and laughed

thou recover me, and make me to live. ( 

17 Beliold, for peace I had great bitterness; ) 
but thou hast in love to my soul delivered it ^ 
from the pit of corruption : for thou hast cast i 
all my sins "" behind thy back. \ 

18 For the ^ grave cannot praise thee ; death ] 
cannot celebrate thee : they that go down into 
the pit cannot hope for thy truth. 

19 The '■ living, the living, he shall praise 
thee, as I do this day ; the * father to the chil-

-^^ Baladan king of Babvlon, sent letters and f 

a present to Hezekiah : for he had heard that he ) 

had been sick, and was recovered. \ 

2 And Hezekiah was ** glad of them, and j! 
shewed them the house of liis precious things, i 
the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the j 
precious ointment, and all the house of his ar- J 
mour, and all that was found in his treasures : ( 
there was " nothinjj in his house, nor in all his t 
dominion, that Hezekiah shewed them not. } 

3 Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king ' 
Hezekiah, and said unto him, "^ What said these J 
men ? and from whence came they unto thee ? J 
And Hezekiah said, They are come from a ^ far ^ 
country unto me, even from Babylon. ][

him the way of understanding ? 

15 Behold, the nations are as a drop of a

16 And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor 
the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt-offering. 

17 All nations before him are '° as nothing ; 
and they are counted to him less than nothing, 
and " vanity. 

18 •* To whom then will ye liken God.? or 
what likeness will ye compare unto him ? 

19 The ^ workman meketh a graven image, 
and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, 
and casteth silver chains. 

20 He that is so impoverished, that he hath 
no oblation, chooseth a tree that will not rot : 
he seeketh unto him a cunning ' workman to 
prepare a graven image, that shall not be moved. 

21 Have ye not known ? have ye not heard ? 
hath it not been s told you from the beginning ? 
have ye not understood from the foundations of 
the earth ? 

22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the 
earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grass- 
hoppers; that ''stretcheth out the heavens as a 
curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to 
dwell in; 

23 That bringeth the 'princes to nothing: he 
maketh the judges of the earth as vanity. 

24 Yea, they shall not be planted ; yea, they 
shall not be sown ; yea, their stock shall not 
take root in the earth : and he shall also ^ blow

him that smote the anvil, saying. It is ready for

8 But thou, Israel, art my ° servant, Jacob 
whom I have p chosen, the seed of Abraham my 
•1 friend. 

9 Thou whom I have ■■ taken from the ends of

10 Fear thou not ; for I am " with thee ; be 
not dismayed, for I am thy God : I will ''strength-

thee with the right hand of my righteousness. 

1 1 Behold, all they that were incensed against 
thee shall be ^ ashamed and confounded : they 
shall be as nothing ; and they that strive with 
thee shall perish. 

12 Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find 
them, even them that ^- contended with thee : 
they that war against thee sliall be as nothing, 
and as a thing of ^ nought. 

13 For I the Lord thy God will hold thy

19 I will plant in the "^ wilderness the cedar, }

20 That they may "" see and know, and con-

they are all of them snared in holes, and they <

23 Who among you will give ear to this ? who

24 Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to 
the robbers ? did not " the Lord, he against whom 
we ° have sinned ? for they would not walk in his 
ways, neither were they obedient unto his law. 

25 Therefore he hath poured upon him the 
fury of his anger, and the strength of battle : 

and it hath set him on fire round about, yet he 
'^ knew not ; and it burned him, yet he laid it 
not to heart.

He appealeth to the people for witness of his omnipo-

22 He reproveth the people as inexcusable.

or to 
hast thou brought forth ? 

1 1 Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of 
Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come 
concerning my sons ; and concerning the work 
of my hands "■ command ye me. 

12 I have made the earth, 'and created man up- Josh.io,i4v 
on it : I, even my hands, have stretched out the ^yfohnh^^' 
heavens, and all their host have I commanded. 

13 ' I have raised him up in righteousness, and 
I will direct all his ways : he shall build my city, 
and he shall let go my captives, not for " price 
nor reward, saith the Lord of hosts. 

14 Thus saith the Lord, The labour of Egypt, 
and merchandise of Ethiopia, and of the Sabe- 
ans, men of stature, shall 'come over ^ unto \J'\T^'^ 
thee, and they shall be thine: they shall come ch.'co,'i4. 
after thee ; in chains they shall come over, and u!'"^'^' 
they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make pl^li^l 
Supplication unto thee, saying, Surely God is in 23. 
thee, and there is none else ; there is no God. 

15 Verily, thou art a God that ^ hidest thyself, 
O God of Israel, the Saviour. 

16 They shall be ashamed, and also con- 
founded, all of them : they shall go to confusion 
together that are makers of f idols. 

17 But Israel shall be saved in the Lord with 
an " everlasting salvation : ye shall not be asham- 
ed nor confounded world without end. 

18 For thus saith the Lord that created the 
heavens, God himself that formed the earth and 

, and hidden riches of secret places, that \ made it, he hath established it, he created it not 
mayest *^know that I the Lord which call { in vain, he formed it to be "^ inhabited ; I am the L^®"- ^' 



the earth by myself; 

25 That frustrateth the tokens of the '^liars, and i 
maketh diviners mad ; that turneth wise men \ 
backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish ; ) 

26 That ^ confirmeth the word of his servant, \ 
and performeth the counsel of his messengers ; 
that saith to Jerusalem, Thou sh^lt be inhabited ; 
and to the cities of Judah, Ye shall be built, and 
I will raise up the decayed places thereof ; 

27 That saith to the Meep, Be dry, and I will 
dry up thj' rivers : 

28 That saith of Cyrus, He is my shepherd, 
and shall perform all my pleasure : even saying 
to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built ; and to the 
temple, Thy foundation shall be laid. 

CHAPTER XLV. 

1 God calleth Cyrus for his church's sake. 5 By his 
omnipotency he challengeth obedience • 20 He con- 
vinceth the idols of vanity, by his saving power. 

THUS saith the Lord to his * anointed, to 
Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to 
'' subdue nations before him ; and I will loose the 
loins of kings, to open before him the two-leaved 
"gates ; and the gates shall not be shut : 

2 I will go before thee, and make the crooked 
places straight; I will break in pieces the ''gates 
of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron : 

3 And I will give thee the " treasures of dark- 
ness 

thou mayest 
thee by thy name, am the God of Israel. 

4 For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel 
mine ^ elect, I have even called thee by thy 
name : I have surnamed thee, though thou hast 

bch.43, 12. h jjQ|. j^nown me. 

5 I «w the Lord, and there is none else, there 
is no God besides me : ' I girded thee, though 
thou hast not known me ; 

6 That they may know from the ^ rising of the 
sun, and from the west, that there is none besides 
me : I am the Lord, and there is none else. 

7 I form the light, and create darkness ; I 
make ' peace, and create " evil : I the Lord do 
all these things. 

8 Drop down, ye ° heavens, from above, and 
let the skies pour down ° righteousness : let the 
earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, 
and let righteousness spring up together. I the 
Lord have created it. 

9 Wo unto him that "^ striveth with his Maker ! 
Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the 
earth. Shall the "^ clay say to him that fashion- 
eth it, What makest thou ? or thy work, He 
hath no hands .''

snow, from heaven, and returneth not thither, | 
but " watereth the earth, and maketh it bring \ 
forth and bud, that it may give ^ seed to the \ 

""cor.^gj" sower, and bread to the eater ; \ 

1 1 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of \ 
my mouth : it shall not ^ return unto me void ; I 
but it shall accomplish that which I please, and | 
it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. 

12 For 3'e shall " go out with joy, and be led 
aPs.96,11. forth with peace : "the mountains and the hills 

siiall break forth before you into singing, and 
all the trees of the field shall clap thei?- hands. 

13 Instead of the ''thorn shall come up the 
fir-tree, and instead of tlie brier shall come up

4 For thus saith the Lord unto the ^ eunuchs > 
that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things / 
that '' please me, and take hold of my covenant ; | 

5 Even unto them will I give in mine ' house, / 
and within my walls, a place and a name '' better i 
than of sons and of daughters : I will give them \ 
an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off. * 

6 Also the sons of the stranger that 'join j

1 The glorious God will be sen'ed in hamble sincerity. 
5 He comforteth the humble with the marvellous ge-

church. 15 God's severe judgments against the wick- 
ed. 19 The Gentiles shall have an holy church, 24 
and see the damnation of the wicked. 

npHUS saith the Lord, The * heaven is my 
-*- throne, and the earth is my footstool : 
•^ where is the house that ye build unto me ? and 
where is the place of my rest ? 

2 For all those things hath mine hand made, 
and all those things have been, saith the Lord : 
but to this man will I look, even to him that is 
poor and of a ' contrite spirit, and '^ trembleth at 
my word. 

3 He that killeth an * o.x is as if he slew a 
man ; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off 
a dog's neck ; he that offereth an oblation, as if 
he offered swine's blood ; he that burneth in- 
cense, as if he blessed an idol : yea, they have 
chosen their own ways, and their ^ soul delight- 
eth in their abominations. 

4 I also will choose their ^ delusions, and will 
bring their fears upon them ; because when I 
called, none did ansu er ; when I spake, they 
did not hear : but they did evil before mine 
eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not. 

5 Hear the word of the Lord, ye that trem- 
l le at his word ; Your '' brethren that ' hated 
you, that ''cast you out for my name's sake, said. 
Let the Lord be ' glorified : but he shall ^ ap- |

CHAPTER L 

1 The time, 3 and the calhng of Jeremiah. 11 His pro- 
phetical visions of an almond rod, and a seething-pot. 
15 His heavy message against Judah. 17 God en- 
courageth him with his promise of assistance. 

THE ''words of Jeremiah the son of '' Hilki- 
ah, of the priests that were in " Anathoth, 
in the land of Benjamin : 

2 To whom the word of the Lord ^ came in 
the days of ^ Josiah the son of Amon king of 
Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. 

3 It came also in the davs of Jehoiakim the 
son of Josiah king of Judah, unto the || end of 
the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah 
king of Judah, unto the carrying away of Jeru- 
salem captive in the fifth month. 

4 Then the word of the Lord came unto me, 
saying, 

5 Before I ^ formed thee in the belly s I knew 
thee ; and before thou camest forth out of the 
womb 1 '' sanctified thee ; and I ordained thee 
a prophet unto the nations. 

6 Then said I, ' Ah, Lord God ! behold, ^ I 
cannot speak ; for I am a ' child. 

7 But the Lord said unto me. Say not, I am 
a child : for thou shalt go to all that I shall 
" send thee, and ° whatsoever I command thee 
thou shalt speak. 

8 ° Be not afraid of their faces : for p I am 
with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord. 

9 Then the Lord put forth his hand, and 
1 touched my mouth : and the Lord said unto 
me. Behold, 1 have "■ put my words in thy mouth. 

10 See, I have this day ' set thee over the 
nations, and over the kingdoms, to root out, 
and' to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw 
down, to build, and to plant. 

11 Moreover, the word of the Lord came 
unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou ? 
And I said, I see a * rod of an " almond-tree. 

12 Then said the Lord unto me. Thou hast 
^ well seen : for I will ^ hasten my word to 
perform it. 

13 And the word of the Lord came unto me 
rne second time, saying. What seest thou ? And 



I said, I see a '^ seething-pot, and the face there- 
of is toward the " north. 

14 Then the Lord' said unto me. Out of the 
north an ^ evil shall break forth upon all the in- 
habitants of the land. 

15 For, lo, I will "^call all the families of the 
kingdoms of the north, saith the .Lord ; and 
they shall come, and they shall ^ set every one 
his throne at the entering of the gates of Jeru- 
salem, and against all the walls thereof round 
about, and against all the cities of Judah. 

16 And I will utter my judgments ^against 
them touching all their wickedness, ^ who have 
forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other 
gods, and worshipped the works of their own 
hands. 

17 Thou therefore s gird up thy loins, and 
arise, and speak unto them all that I command 
thee : be not dismayed at their faces, lest I 
'' confound thee before them. 

18 For, behold, I have made thee this day a 
' defenced city, and an iron pillar, and brasen 
walls, against the whole ^ land ; against the kings 
of Judah, against the princes thereof, against the 
priests th-ereof, and against the people of the land. 

19 And they shall ' fight against thee, but 
they shall " not prevail against thee ; for I am 
with thee, saith the Lord, to deliver thee. 

CHAPTER II. 

1 God having shewed his former kindness, expostulateth 
with the Jews their causeless revolt, 9 beyond any ex- 
ample. 14 They are the causes of their own calamities. 

WOREOVER, the word of the Lord came 
-L'-^ to me, saying, 

2 Go, and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, say- 
ing. Thus saith the Lord, I remember nhee, aPs.79, a. 
the '' kindness of thy youth, the " love of thine ^^'■'^^- 1^'

6 Neither 'said they. Where is the Lord \ ly a right seed : how then art thou turned into

under every green tree, thou wanderest, play-

21 Yet I had ' planted thee a noble vine, whol-

through 



a 
land of deserts, and of pits; through a land of

a land that no man '" passed through, and where 
no man dwelt ? 

7 And I brought you into a ° plentiful country, 
to eat the fruit thereof, and the goodness there- 
of: but when ye entered, ye " defiled my land, 
and made mine heritage an abomination. < 

8 The ^ priests said not. Where is the Lord ? J 
and ihey that '' handle the law ' knew me not : \ 
the pastors also transgressed against me, and the ( 
prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after t 
things that do ' not profit. * 

9 Wherefore I will yet 'plead with you, { 
saith the Lord, and with your children's chil- 
dren will I plead. 

10 For pass over the "isles of Chittim, and 
see ; and send unto ' Kedar, and consider dili-

CHAPTER W 



1 God calleth Israel by his promise. 3 He exhorteth Ju- \ 
dah to repentance by fearful judgments. 19 A griev- \ 
ous lamentation for the miseries of Judah. { 

IF thou wilt return, * O Israel, saith the Lord, } 
return ^ unto me ; and if thou wilt put away c 
thine ''abominations out of my sight, then shaft } 
thou ^ not remove. > 

2 And thou ihalt ' swear, the Lord liveth, in 
truth, in judgment, and in righteousness ; and 
the nations shall bless themselves in him, and 
in him shall they ^glory. 

3 For thus saith the Lord to the men of Ju- 
gHoseaio, dah and Jerusalem, ° Break up your fallow 

ground, and ^ sow not among thorns. 

4 ' Circumcise yourselves to the Lord, and 
take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men 
of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem ; lest '' my 
fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can 
quench it, because of the evil of your doings. 

3 Declare ye in Judah, and publish in Jeru- 
salem; and say, 'Blow ye the trumpet in the 
land : cry, gather together, and say. Assemble 
yourselves, and let us go into the defenced 
cities. 

6 Set up the standard toward Zion : f retire, 
stay not ; for I will bring evil from the north, 
and a great destruction. 

7 " The lion is come up from his thicket, and 
° the destroyer of the Gentiles is on his way ; 
he is gone forth from his place to make thy land 
"desolate : and thy cities shall be laid waste 
without an inhabitant.

and howl ; for the fierce anger of the Lord is

7 For I earnestly protested unto your fathers, 
in the day that I brought them up out of the 
land of Egypt, even unto this day, ^ rising early 
and protesting, saying, Obey my voice. 

8 Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, 
but walked every one in the ' imagination of 
their evil heart : therefore I will bring upon 
them all the words of this covenant which I com- 
manded them to do : but they did them not. 

9 And the Lord said unto me, ^ A conspiracy 
is found among the men of Judah, and among 
the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 

10 They are turned back to the iniquities ^ of 
their forefathers, which refused to hear my 
words ; and the}'^ went " after other gods to serve 
them : the house of Israel and the house of Ju- 
dah have broken my covenant, which I made 
with their fathers. 

1 1 Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold, I 
will bring " evil upon them, which they shall 
not be able to ° escape ; and though they shall 
cry unto me, I will p not hearken unto them. 

12 Then shall the cities of Judah, and inha- 
bitants of Jerusalem, ^ go and cry unto the gods 
unto whom they offer incense : but they shall not 
save them at all in the time of their trouble. 

13 For according to the '' number of thy cities 
were thy gods, O J udah ; and according to the 
number of the streets of Jerusalem have ye set 
up altars to that ^ shameful thing, even altars to 
burn incense unto Baal. 

14 Therefore * pray not thou for this people, 
neither lift up a cry or prayer for them : for I 
will not hear them in the time that they cry unto 
me for their trouble. 

13 What hath my beloved "to do in mine 
house, seeing she hath wrought lewdness ^ with 
many, and the ^ holy flesh is passed from thee ? 
when thou doest evil, then thou ^rejoicest. 

16 The Lord called thy name, *A green 
olive-tree, fair, and of goodly fruit ; with the 
noise of a great tumult he hath kindled fire upon 
it, and the branches of it are broken. 

17 For the Lord of hosts that ''planted thee 
hath pronounced evil against thee, for the evil of 
the house of Israel, and of the house of Judah, 
which they have done against themselves, to pro- 
voke me to anger, in offering incense unto Baal. 

18 And the Lord hath given me "^ knowledge 
of it, and I know it: then thou shewedst me 
their doings. 

19 But I ivas like ''a lamb, or an ox, that is 
brought to the slaughter ; and I knew not that 
they had ^ devised devices against me, saying, 
Let us destroy the tree with the fruit thereof, 
and let us cut him off from the land of the living, 
that his name may be 'no more remembered. 

20 But, O Lord of hosts, thatjudgest righte- 



^ ously, that ^ triest the reins and the heart, let me 

\ see thy vengeance on them ; for unto thee have 

i I revealed ^ my cause. 

\ 21 Therefore thus saith the Lord of the 
men of ' Anathoth, that seek thy life, saying, 
^ Prophesy not in the name of the Lord, that 
thou die not by our hand : 

22 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts. 
Behold, I will punish them ; the young men shall 
die by the sword, their sons and their daughters 
shall die by famine ; 

23 And there shall be ' no remnant of them, 
for I will bring evil upon the men of Anathoth, 
even the year of " their visitation. 

CHAPTER XII. 

1 Jeremiah complaining of the wicked's prosperity, by 
faith seeth their ruin. 6 God admonisheth him of his 
brethren's treachery against him, 7 and lamenteth his 
heritage. 14 He promiseth to the penitent a return 
from captivity. 

IGHTEOUS ^ art thou, O Lord, when I 
plead with thee ; yet let me talk with thee 
of thy judgments : Wherefore doth the way of 
the wicked ^ prosper ? wherefore are all they 
happy that deal very treacherously ? 

2 Thou hast planted them ; yea, they have 
taken root : they grow ; yea, they bring forth 
fruit : thou art " near in their mouth, and far 
from their reins. 

3 But thou, O Lord, *• knowest me ; thou 
hast seen me, and tried mine heart ® toward 
thee ; pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, 
and prepare them for the ' day of slaughter. 

4 How long shall the s land mourn, and the 
herbs of every field wither, for the '' wickedness 
of them that dwell therein ? the beasts are con- 
sumed, and the birds ; because they said. He 
shall ' not see our last end. 

5 If thou hast run with the footmen, and they 
have wearied thee, then how canst thou ^ con- 
tend with horses ? and if in the land of peace, 
ivherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then 
how wilt thou do in the ' swelling of Jordan ? 

6 For even thy " brethren, and the house of 
thy father, even they have dealt treacherously 
with thee ; yea, they have ° called a multitude 
after thee : believe them not, though they speak 
° fair words unto thee. 

7 I have forsaken p mine house, I have left 
mine heritage ; I have given the dearly-beloved 
of my soul into the hand of her enemies. 

8 Mine heritage is unto me as ^ a lion in the 
forest ; it crieth out against me : therefore have 
I hated it. 

9 Mine heritage is unto me as ' a speckled 
bird ; the birds round about are against her ; 
come ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, 
^ come to devour.

1 Jeremiah reproving the Jews' disobedience to the pro-

after that the destruction of Babylon. 15 Under the 
type of a cup of wine, he foresheweth the destruction 
of all nations. 34 The howling of the shepherds. 

THE word that came to Jeremiah concern- 
ing all the people of Judah, in the "" fourth 
year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Ju- 
dah, that was the first year of Nebuchadrezzar 
king of Babylon ; 

2 The which Jeremiah the prophet spake 
unto ''all the people of Judah, and to all the 
inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, 

3 From the " thirteenth year of Josiah the son 
of Amon king of Judah, even unto this day, 
(that is the three and twentieth year,) the word 
of the Lord hath come unto me, and I have 
spoken unto you, ^ rising early and speaking ; 
but ye have not hearkened. 

4 And the Lord hath sent unto you all his 
' servants the prophets, rising early and sending 
them, ; but ye have 'not hearkened, nor inclined 
your ear to hear. 

5 They said, ' Turn ye again now every one 
from his evil way, and from the evil of your 
doings, and ''dwell in the land that the Lord 
hath {liven unto you and to your fathers for 
ever and ever : 

6 And go not after 'other gods to serve them, 
and to worshij) them, and '' provoke me not to 
anger with the works of your hands ; and I will 
do you no hurt. 

7 Yet ye have not hearkened unto me, saith 
the Lord ; that ye might provoke me to anger 
with the works of your hands ' to your own hurt. 

8 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, 
Because ye have not heard my words, 

9 Behold, I will send and take '"all the fami- 
lies of the north, saith the Lord, and Nebuchad- 
rezzar the king cf Babylon " my servant, and 
will bring them against this land, and ° against 
the inhabitants thereof, and against all these na- 
tions round about, and will utterly destroy them, 
and make them an astonishment, and an hissing 
and perpetual desolations. 

10 Moreover, I will take from them ^ the 
voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the 
voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the 
bride, the sound of the '' millstones, and the 
light of the candle. 

11 And this whole land shall be a desolation, 
and an astonishment ; and these nations shall 
serve the king of Babylon "'seventy years.

and will make it ^ perpetual desolations. 

13 And I will bring upon that land all my 
words which I have pronounced against it, even 
all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah 
hath prophesied against all the nations. 

14 For "many nations and great kings shall 
serve themselves of them also: and I will M-e- x Mat. 7, 2.

according to the works of their own hands. 

15 For thus saith the Lord God of Israel 

unto me. Take the ^wine-cup of his fury at my yRov.u,

4 And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith 



JEREMIAH. He is arraigned and acquitted. 

I the Lord, If ye will ^ not hearken to me, to 
walk in my law which I have set before you, 

5 To hearken to the words of my servants 
the prophets, whom I sent unto you, both 
^ rising up early, and sending them, but ye have 
not hearkened ; 

6 Then will I make ^this house like Shiloh, gch.7, ii 
and will make this city *" a curse to all the nations 
of the earth. 

7 So the ' priests, and the prophets, and all the 
people, heard Jeremiah speaking these words in 
the house of the Lord. 

8 Now it came to pass, when Jeremiah had 
made an end of speaking all that the Lord had 
commanded him to speak unto all the people, 
that the priests, and the prophets, and ^ all the 
people, took him, saying. Thou shalt surely ' die. 

9 Why hast thou prophesied in the name of 
the Lord, saying, This house shall be " like Shi- 
loh, and this city shall be desolate without an 
inhabitant ? And all the people were gathered 
" against Jeremiah in the house of the Lord. 

10 When the princes of Judah heard these 
things, then they came up from the king's house 
unto the house of the Lord, and sat down in the 
" entry of the ^ new gate of the Lord's house. 

1 1 Then spake the "^ priests and the prophets i^s, 35.' 
unto the princes, and to all the people, saying, 29. ^'' ' 
This man is ' worthy to die ; for he hath pro- 
phesied against this city, as ye have heard with 
your ears. 

12 Then spake Jeremiah unto all the princes, 
and to all the people, saying. The Lord ' sent l^isj' '^ 
me to prophesy against this house, and against 
this city, all the words that ye have heard. 

13 Therefore now * amend your ways and 
your doings, and obey the voice of the Lord 
your God ; and the Lord will repent him of the 
evil that he hath pronounced against you. 

14 As for me, behold, "lam in your hand; do "ch.38,5 
with me "" as seemeth good and meet unto you : 

15 But know ye for certain, that, if ye put 
me to death, ye shall surely bring ^ innocent 
blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and 
upon the inhabitants thereof : for of a truth the 
Lord hath sent me unto you, to speak all these 
words in your ears. 

16 ' Then said the '^ princes and all the people ^^^"-^ 
unto the priests and to the prophets. This man \Sa^.^, 
is not worthy to die ; for he hath spoken to us in 
the name of the Lord our God. 

17 Then rose up certain of the '' elders of the 
land, and spake to all the assembly of the peo- 
ple, saying, 

18 Micah the " Morashite prophesied in the j Micah 1,

Zedekiah's captivity foretold : 

give this city into the hand of the king of Baby- 
lon, and he shall burn it with fir??. 

3 And thou shalt not escape out of his hand, 
but shalt surely be taken, and delivered into his 
hand ; and thine eyes shall behold the eyes of the 
king of Babylon, and he shall speak with thee 
■* mouth to mouth, and thou shalt go to Babylon. > 

4 Yet hear the word of the Lord, O Zede- |! 
kiah king of Judah ; Thus saith the Lord of 1^ 
thee, Thou shalt ' not die by the sword ; 

5 But thou shalt die in peace : and with the 
^burnings of thy fathers, the former kings which 
were before thee, so shall they burn odours for 

gch.22,18. thee; and they will ^lament thee, saying, Ah, 
lord ! for I have pronounced the word, saith 
the Lord. 

6 Then Jeremiah the prophet spake all these 
h2Sam.i2, words uuto "^ Zcdekiah king of Judah in Jeru- 
salem, 

7 When the king of Babylon's army fought ) 
against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of ' 
Judah that were left, against 'Lachish, and 
against Azekah : for these •■ defenced cities re- || 
mained of the cities of Judah. [ 

8 This is the word that came unto Jeremiah \ 
from the Lord, after that the king Zedekiah had 
t made a covenant with all the people which icere 
at Jerusalem, to proclaim 'liberty unto them ; 

8 That every man should let his man-servant, jj 
ana every man his maid-servant, being an He- ! 
brew or an Hebrewess, go free ; that none 
"• should serve himself of them, to loit, of a Jew 
"his brother. 

10 Now, when all the princes, and all the 
people which had entered into the covenant, 
heard that every one should let his man-servant, 
and every one his maid-servant, go free, that 
none should serve themselves of them any more ; 
then they obeyed, and let them go. 

11 But "afterwards they turned, and caused 
chtp.' 37,"^! the servants, and the handmaids, whom they had 
p2ci.r. let go free, to return, and ''brought them into 
fehXs- sul)jection for servants and for handmaids. 
2Pef'2^ i2 Therefore tlie word of the Lord came to 

Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, 

13 Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, I 
made a covenant with your fathers in the day 
that I brought them forth out 'of the land of 
Eirypt, out of the house of bondmen, saying, 

14 'At the end of seven years, let ye go every 
man his brother an Hebrew, which hath been 
• sold unto thee ; and, when he hath served thee 
six years, thou shalt let him go free from thee : 
but your fathers hearkened not unto me, neither 
inclined their ear. 

15 And ye were 'now turned, and had done 
riirht in my sight, in proclaiming liberty every 
man to his neighbour : and ye had made a

and caused every man his servant, and every 
man his handmaid, whom he had set at liberty 
at their pleasure, to return, and brought them 
into subjection, to be unto you for servants and 
for handmaids. 

17 Therefore thus saith the Lord, Ye have 
not hearkened unto me, in proclaiming liberty 
every one to his brother, and every man to his 
neighbour : behold, I ''proclaim a liberty for you, 
saith the Lord, to the sword, to the pestilence, 
and to the famine ; and I will make you to be 
"■removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.

the words of the covenant which they had made 
before me, when they " cut the calf in twain, 
and passed between the parts thereof, 

19 The princes of Judah, and the princes of ^af g/' 
Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the ''priests, and all 
the people of the land, which passed between 
the parts of the calf; 

20 I will even give them into the hand of 
their enemies, and into the hand of them that 
seek their life ; and their " dead bodies shall be 
for meat unto the fowls of the heaven, and to 
the beasts of the earth. 

21 And Zedekiah king of Judah, and his 
princes, will I give into the hand of their ene- 
mies, and into the hand of them that seek their 
life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon's 
army, which are '' gone up from you. 

22 Behold, 'I will command, saith the Lord, 
and cause them to return to this city; and they 
shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it 
with fire : and I will make the cities of Judah a 
desolation without an inhabitant.

8 Thus have we " obeyed the voice of Jonadab 
the son of Rechab, our father, in all that he hath 
charged us, to drink no wine all our days, we, 
our wives, our sons, nor our daughters ; 

9 Nor to build houses for us to dwell in ; 
P neither have we vineyard, nor field, nor seed : 

10 But we have dwelt in tents, and have 
obeyed, and done according to all that Jonadab 
our father commanded us. 

11 But i* came to pass, when Nebuchadrez- 
zar king of Babylon came up into the land, that 
we said. Come, and let us go to Jerusalem for fear 
of the army of the Chaldeans, and for fear of the 
army of the Syrians : so we dwell at Jerusalem. 

12 Then came the word of the Lord unto 
Jeremiah, saying, 

13 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of 
Israel, Go and tell the men of Judah, and the in- 
habitants of Jerusalem, Will ""ye not receive in- 
struction to hearken to my words ? saith the Lord. 

14 The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, 
that he commanded his sons not to drink wine, 
are 'performed; for unto this day they drink 
none, but obey their father's commandment : not- 
withstanding ' I have spoken unto you, rising ear- 
ly and speaking ; but ye hearkened not unto me. 

15 I have sent also unto you all my servants 
the prophets, rising up early and sending them, 
saying, ' Return ye now every man from his 
evil way, and amend your doings, and go not 
after other gods to serve them, and ye shall 
" dwell in the land which I have given to you 
and to your fathers ; but ye have not inclined 
your ear, nor hearkened unto me. 

16 Because the sons of Jonadab the son of 
Rechab have performed the commandment of 
their father, which he commanded them ; but 
this people hath not hearkened unto me : 

17 Therefore thus saith the Lord God of 
hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will bring up- 
on Judah, and upon all the inhabitants of Jeru-

1 Jeremiah causeth Baruch to write his prophecy, 5 8. 
and publicly to read it. 11 The princes having in-

roll. 17 Jeremiah denounceth his judgment. 32 
Baruch writeth a new copy. 

ND it came to pass, in the 'fourth year of ach.25, l 
Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Ju- ^^^'^•

4 Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of 
Neriah : and Baruch ' wrote from the mouth of ^^^^- *> 
Jeremiah all the words of the Lord, which he ^'erse is.^ 
had spoken unto him, upon a roll of a book. Heb. ii',27! 

5 And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, 

I am "^shut up ; I cannot go into the house of JNam. 19, 
the Lord : 

6 Therefore go thou, and read in the roll, 
which thoii hast written from my mouth, the 
words of the Lord, in the ears of the people, in 
the Lord's house upon the ^ fasting-day : and 
also thou shalt read them in the ears of all Ju-

all the people that came from the cities of Ju- 
dah unto Jerusalem. 

10 Then read Baruch in the book the words 
of Jeremiah in the house of the Lord, in the 
'chamber of Gemariah the son of Shaphan "the 
scribe, in the ° higher court, at the entry of the 
"new sate of the Lord's house, in the ears of 
all the people. 

1 1 AVhen jMichaiah the son of Gemariah, the 
son of Shaphan, had heard out of the book all 
the words of the Lord, 

12 Then he went down into the king's house, 
into the '' scribe's chamber, and, lo, all the 
princes sat there, even Elishama the scribe, and 
Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan 
the son of Achbor, and Gemariah the son of 
Shaphan, and Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, 
and all the princes. 

13 Then Michaiah ''declared unto them all 
the words that he had heard, when Baruch read 
the book in the ears of the people. 

14 Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the 
son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of 
Cushi, unto Baruch, saying, Take in thine hand 
the roll wherein thou hast read in the ears of the 
people, and come. So Baruch the son of Neriah 
'took the roll in his hand, and came unto them. 

15 And they said unto him. Sit down now, 
and read it in our ears. So Baruch read it 'in 
their ears. 

16 Now it came to pass, when they had heard 
all the words, they were 'afraid both one and 
other, and said unto Baruch, We will surely tell 
the king of all these words. 

17 And they asked Baruch, saying, "Tell us 
now. How didst thou write all these words at 
his mouth .'' 

18 Then Baruch answered them. He pro- 
nounced all these words unto me with his mouth, 
and I ' wrote them with ink in the book. 

19 Then said the princes unto Baruch, Go, 
hide thee, '' thou and Jeremiah, and let no man 
know where ye be. 

20 And they went in to the king into the 
court, but they ^ laid up the roll in the chamber 
of.Elishama the scribe, and told all the words in 
the ears of the king. 

21 So the king sent Jehudi to fetch the roll ; 
and he took it out of Elishama the scribe's 
chamber : and Jehudi read it in the ears of the 
kins, and in the ears of all the princes which 
stood beside the king. 

22 Now the king sat in the * winter-house, 



on the hearth, until all the roll was consumed 
in the fire that icas on the hearth. 

24 Yet they were not afraid, nor 'rent their 
garments, neither the king, nor any of his ser- 
vants that heard all these words. 

25 Nevertheless, Elnathan, and Delaiah and 
Gemariah, had ^ made intercession to the king 
that he would not burn the roll ; but he would 
not hear them. 

26 But the king commanded Jerahmeel the 
son of Hammelech, and Seraiah the son of 
Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, 'to 
take Baruch the scribe, and Jeremiah the pro- 
phet : but the Lord ^hid them. 

27 Then the word of the Lord came to Jere- 
miah, (^ after that the king had burnt the roll, 
and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth 
of Jeremiah,) saying, 

28 *" Take thee again another roll, and write in 
it all the former words that were in the first roll, 
which Jehoiakim the king of Judah hath burnt. 

29 And thou slialt say to Jehoiakim king of 
Judah, Thus saith the Lord, Thou hast burnt 
this roll, saying, ' ^Vhy hast thou written therein, 
saying. The king of Babylon shall '' certainly 
come and destroy this land, and shall cause to 
cease from thence man and beast .'' 

30 Therefore thus saith the Lord of Jehoia- 
kim king of Judah, He shall have 'none to sit 
upon the throne of David ; and his dead body 
shall be cast out in the day to the heat, and in 
the night to the frost. 

31 And I will ° punish him, and his seed, and 
his servants, for their iniquity ; and I will bring 
upon them, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusa- 
lem, and upon the men of Judah, all the evil 
that I have pronounced against them : but they 
hearkened not. 

32 Then took Jeremiah another roll, and 
gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah ; 
who wrote therein, from the " mouth of Jeremi- 
ah, all the words of the book which Jehoiakim 
king of Judah had burnt in the fire : and there 
were added besides unto them many like words. 

CHAPTER XXXVIL 

1 The Egyptians having raised the siege of the Chal- 
deans, king Zedekiah sendeth to Jeremiah to pray for 
the people. 6 Jeremiah prophesieth the Chaldeans' 
certain return and victory. 1 1 He is taken for a fugi- 
tive, beaten, and put in prison. 16 He assureth Zede- 
kiah of the captivity. 13 Entreating for his liberty, he 
obtaineth some favour.

8 And the Chaldeans shall come again, and

9 Thus saith the Lord, ' Deceive not your-

10 For though ye had smitten the whole

them, ^yet should they rise up every man in his 
tent, and burn this city with fire. 

1 1 And it came to pass, that when the army i 
of the Chaldeans was broken up from Jerusa- \ 
lem for fear of Pharaoh's army, 

12 Then Jeremiah went forth out of Jerusa-

CHAPTER XXXVIII. 

Jeremiah, by a false suggestion, is put into the dungeon 
of Malchiah. 7 Ebed-melech, by suit, getteth him 
some enlargement. 14 Upon secret conference he 
counselleth the king, by yielding to save his life. 24 
By the king's instructions he concealeth the conference 
from the princes. 

HEN Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and 
Gedaliah the son of Pashur, and Jucal the 
son of Shelemiah, and Pashur the son of Malchi- 
ah, heard ^ the words that Jeremiah had spoken 
^ unto all the people, saying, 
I 2 Thus saith the Lord, " He that remaineth 
in this city shall die by the sword, by the famine, 
and by the pestilence : but he that goeth forth 
to the Chaldeans shall live ; for he shall have 
■^his life for a prey, and shall live. 

3 Thus saith the Lord, This city shall surely 
be ^ given into the hand of the king of Babylon's 
army, which shall t;;ke it. 

4 Therefore the 'princes said unto the king. 
We beseech thee, let this man be ^ put to death ; 
for thus he ^ weakeneth the hands of the men of 
war that remain in this city, and the hands of all 
the people, in speaking such words unto them :

and went into the house of the king under the

cords. And Jeremiah did so. 

13 So they drew up Jeremiah with cords, and 
took him up out of the dungeon : and Jeremiah 
remained in the court of the ' prison. 

14 Then Zedekiah the king sent, and "took 
Jeremiah the prophet unto him into the 'third 
entry that is in the house of the Lord : and the 
king said unto Jeremiah, I will ask thee -a 
thing; " hide nothing from me. 

15 Then Jeremiah said unto Zedekiah, If I 
declare it unto thee, wik thou not surely ^put 
me to death ? and if I give thee counsel, wilt i 
thou ''■ not hearken unto me ? \ 

16 So the kins sware secretly unto Jeremiah, ] 
saying. As the Lord livcth, that made us this 
soul, 1 will not put thee to death, neither will I 
give thee into the hand of these men that seek 
thy life. 

17 Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah, Thus 
saith the Lord, the God of hosts, the God of 
Israel, If thou wilt assuredly "go forth unto the 
king of Babylon's princes, then thy soul shall 
live, and this city shall not be burnt with fire ; 
and thou shalt live, and thine house: 

18 But if thou wilt not go forth to the king of

27 Then came all the princes unto Jeremiah, 
and asked him : and he told them "accoidine; to 
all these words that the king had commanded. 
So they left off speaking with him : for the mat- 
ter was not perceived. 

28 So Jeremiah ° abode in the court of the 
prison until the day that Jerusalem was taken 
and he was there when Jerusalem was taken.

8 And the Chaldeans burnt the king's house,

9 Then Nebuzar-adan, the captain of the 
guard, carried away captive into Babylon the 
remnant of the people that remained in the city, 
and those that lell away, that "' fell to him, with 
the rest of the people that remained. 

10 But Nebuzar-adan, the captain of the 
guard, "left of the poor of the people, which had 
nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them 
vineyards and fields at the same time.

12 Take him, and look well to him, and ''do

unto ' Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of 
Shaphan, that he should carry 'him home : so 
he dwelt among the people. 

15 IT Now the word of the Lord came unto 
Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of 
the prison, saying, 

16 Go and ^ speak to Ebed-melech the Ethio- 
pian, saying. Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the 
God of Israel, Behold, I will bring my words up- 
on this city for evil, and not for good ; and they 
shall be accomplished in that day " before thee. 

17 But I will "deliver thee in that day, saith 
the Lord ; and thou shalt not be given into the 
hand of the men of whom thou art afraid. 

18 For I will surely deliver thee, and thou 
shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be 
for a prey unto thee: because thou hast ''put

Jeremiah released out of prison 

rusalem and Judah, which were carried away 
captive unto Babylon. 

2 And the captain of the guard took Jere- 
miah, and said unto him, The Lord thy God 
hath "pronounced this evil upon this place. 

3 Now the Lord hath brought it, and done 
according a-s he hath said : because ye have ^ sin- 

i ned against the Lord, and have not obeyed his 
i voice, therefore this thing is come upon you. 

i4 And now, behold, I loose thee this day from 
the chains which loere upon "thine hand. If it e Acts 12,7. 
seem good unto thee to come with me into Ba- 
j bylon, come, and I will Hook well unto thee; fch.s9,ii, 
but if it seem ill unto thee to come with me into Heb. 13, 5. 
Babylon, forbear: behold, ^all the land is be- rJv'."i'2M 
fore thee: whither it seemeth good and conve- &Gen.i3,9 
nient for thee to go, thither go. 

5 Now, while he was not yet gone back, he 
said, Go back also to Gedaliah the son of Ahi- 
kam, the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Ba- 
bylon hath made governor over all the cities of 
Judah, and dwell with him ''among the people ; hch.31,14 
'or go wheresoever it seemeth convenient unto iNeh.2,6. 
thee to go. So the captain of the guard gave l^'^'^]\l[ 
i ^ him victuals and ' a reward, and let him go. Mat 6, 33.

j of Ahikam, to '"Mizpah, and dwelt whh him td^^^X

^ had committed unto him men, and women, and 
children, and of the poor of the land, of them 
that were not carried away captive to Babylon ; 

8 Then they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, 

even "Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Joha- oisa.26,10

that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son

of the king, even ten men, with him, came unto 
Gedaliaii the son of Ahikam, to Mizpah ; and 
there they did " eat bread together in Mizpah.

3 Ishmael also slew 'all the Jews that were 
with him, even with Gedaliah at Mizpah, and 
the Chaldeans that were found there, and the 
men of war. < 

4 And it came to pass, the second day after \ 
he had slain Gedaliah, and no man knew it^ \ 

5 That there came certain from ^ Shechem, 
from ^Shiloh, and from Samaria, even fourscore 
men, having their '' beards shaven, and their

remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzar-adan the 
captain of the guard had committed to Gedaliah

14 So all the people that Ishmael had carried p^. 124,6

from the least even to the greatest, ^ came near, \ 

2 And said unto Jeremiah the prophet, Let, \ 
we beseech thee, our supplication be accepted 
before thee, and " pray for us unto the Lord 
thy God, even for all this remnant ; (for we are 
left hut ^ a few of many, as thine eyes do behold 
us;) 

3 That the Lord thy God rnay shew us ^ the 
way wherein we may walk, and the thing that 
we may Mo. 

4 Then Jeremiah the prophet said unto them 
I have heard you ; behold, I will pray unto the J 
Lord your God according to your words ; and J 
it shall come to pass, that ° Avhatsoever thing the i 
Lord shall answer you, I will declare it unto } 
you ; I will '' keep nothing back from you. ' 

5 Then they said to Jeremiah, The Lord be j 
a ' true and faithful witness between us, if we do > 
not even according to all things for the which > 
the Lord thy God shall send thee to us. | 

6 Whether it he ''good, or whether it he evil, ^ 
we will obey the voice of the Lord our God, { 
to whom we send thee ; that it may be ' well 
with us, when we obey the voice of the Lord 
our God. 

7 11 And it came to pass, '" after ten days, that 
the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah. 

8 Then called he Johanan the son of Kareah, 
and all the captains of the forces which ivere 
with him, and all the people, from the " least 
even to the greatest, 

9 And said unto them. Thus saith ° the Lord, 
the God of Israel, unto whom ye sent me to 
present your supplication before him ; 

10 If ye will still abide in this land, then will 
I ^ build you, and not pull you down ; and I will 
plant you, and '' not pluck you up : for I ' repent 
me of the evil that I have done unto you. 

11 ' Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of 
whom ye are afraid ; be not afraid of him, saith 
the Lord : for I am ' with you to save you, and 
to deliver you from his hand. 

12 And I will shew mercies unto you, that 
" he may have mercy upon you, and cause you 
to return to your own land.

CHAPTER XLIV. 

1 Jeremiah expresseth the desolation of Judah for their 
idolatry. 1 i He prophesieth their destruction who 
commit idolatry in Egypt. 15 The obstinacy of the 
Jews. 20 Jeremiah threateneth them for the same, 
29 and for a sign prophesieth the destruction of Egypt.

in"^ all the Jews which dwell in the land 
of Eirypt, which dwell at * Migdol, and at ^ Tab- | 
panhes, and at ' Noph, and in the country of | 
'' Pathros, saying, \ 

2 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of \ 
Israel, Ye have seen all the evil that I have 
broiiirht upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities 
of Judah; and, behold, this day they ore 'a 
desolation, and no man dwelleth therein ; 

3 Because of their wickedness which they 
have committed, ^ to provoke me to anger, in 
that they went to '^ burn incense, and to serve 
other sods, whom they knew not, neither they, 
you, nor your fathers. 



you, and before your fathers 

1 1 H Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, 
the God of Israel, Behold, I will 'set my face '•Amos9,4. 
against you for evil, and to cut off all Judah. 

12 And I will take the remnant of Judah, 
that have 'set their faces to go into the land of sch.42, 15 
Egypt to sojourn there, and they shall all be con- 
sumed, a7id fall in the land of Egypt ; they shall 
even be consumed by the sword and by the fa- 
mine : they shall die, from the least even unto the 
greatest, by the sword and by the famine ; and 
they shall be 'an e.xecration, and an astonish- *i^\^%\ 

I ment, and a curse, and a reproach. 
\ 13 For I will t punish them that dwell in the 
I land of E^ypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, by 
the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence : 

14 So that none of the remnant of Judah, 
which are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn 
there, f shall escape or remain, that they should 
return into the land of Judah, to the which they 
have a desire to return to dwell there ; for none 
shall return but such as shall escape.

21 The incense that ye burnt in the cities of 
Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, ye, and 
your fathers, your kings, and your princes, and 
the people of the land, did not the Lord '' re- 
member them, and came it not into his mind ? 

22 So that the Lord could no ' longer bear, 
because of the evil of your doings, and because 
of the abominations which ye have committed ; 

therefore is your land a desolation, and an as- 
tonishment, and a curse, without an inhabitant, 
as at this day. 

23 Because you have burnt incense, and be- 
cause ye have sinned against the Lord, and 
have not obeyed the voice of the Lord, nor 
walked in his law, nor in his statutes, nor in his 
testimonies ; therefore this evil is happened unto 
jou, as at this day.

CHAPTER I. 

1 The miserable estate of Jerusalem by reason of her 
sin : 12 She complaineth of her grief, 18 and confess- 
eth God's judgment to be righteous. 

OW doth the * city sit solitary that was 
full of people! hoiv is she become as a 
widow ! she that ivas great among the nations, 
and ^ princess among the provinces^ hoiv is she 
become - tributary ! 

2 She '^ weepeth sore in the night, and her 
tears are on her cheeks ; among ^ all her lovers 
she hath none to comfort her: all her friends 
have dealt treacherously with her ; they are be- 
come her enemies. 

3 Judah *■ is gone into captivity, because of 
affliction, and because of great servitude ; she 
2 dwelleth among the heathen, she findeth no 
rest : all her persecutors overtook her between 
the ^ straits. 

4 ' The ways of Zion do mourn, because none 
come to the solemn feasts : all her gates are 
desolate ; ^ her priests sigh, her virgins are af- 
flicted, and she is in bitterness. 

5 Her adversaries are the ' chief, her enemies 
prosper ; for the Lord hath afflicted her for the 
" multitude of her transgressions : her children 
are gone into captivity before the enemy. 

6 And from the daushter ol Zion ° all her 
beauty is departed : her princes are become like 
harts that find ° no pasture ; and they are gone 
without strength before the pursuer. 

7 Jerusalem remembered in the days of her 
affliction, and of her miseries, all her p pleasant 
things that she had in the days of old, when her 
people fell into the hand of the enemy, and none 
did help her : the adversaries saw her, and did 
1 mock at her sabbaths. 

8 Jerusalem hath "■ grievously sinned ; there- 
fore she is removed : all that honoured her de- 
spise her, because they have seen her ' naked- 
ness ; yea, she sigheth, and turneth backward. 

9 Her ^fflthiness is in her skirts ; she "remem- 
bereth not her last end ; therefore she came 
down wonderfully : she had no comforter. O 
Lord, behold my affliction, for the enemy hath 
^ magnified himself. 

10 The adversary hath spread out his hand 
upon all her pleasant things : for she hath seen 
that the ^ heathen entered into her sanctuary, 
whom thou didst command that they should 
'■ not enter into thy congregation. 

1 1 All her people sigh, they seek " bread ; 
they have given their pleasant things for meat 
to relieve the soul : see, O Lord, and consider ; 
for I am become ^ vik. 

12 /s it nothing to you, all ye that = pass by ? 



behold, and see if there be any sorrow like un- 
to my sorrow, which is done unto me, where- 
with the Lord hath afflicted me in the day of 




his fierce anger 



13 From '' above hath he sent fire into my 
bones, and it prevaileth against them : he hath 
spread * a net for my feet ; he hath turned

e Ezek. 12, 

me back : he hath made me desolate and faint 20! 



all the day. 

14 The ' yoke of my transgressions is bound 
by his hand ; they are ^ wreathed, and come up 
upon my neck ; he hath made my strength to 
fall ; the Lord hath delivered me into their 
hands, from ivhom I am not able to rise up. 

15 The Lord hath trodden under foot all my 
'' mighty me?i in the midst of me ; he hath called 
an assembly against me to ' crush my young 
men : the Lord hath trodden the virgin, the 
daughter of Judah, as ^ in a wine-press. 

16 For these things I weep : ' mine eye, mine 
eye runneth down with water, because the 
" comforter that should relieve my soul is far 
from me ; my children are desolate, because 
the enemy " prevailed. 

1 7 Zion ° spreadeth forth her hands, and there 
IS none to comfort her : the Lord hath com- 
manded concerning Jacob, that his adversaries 
should he round about him : Jerusalem is p as a 
menstruous woman among them. 

18 The Lord ^is righteous; for I have rebel- 
led against his 'commandment: hear, I pray you, 
all people, and behold my sorrow ; my ' virgins 
and my young men are gone into captivity. 

19 1 called for my lovers, hut they * deceived 
me ; my " priests and mine elders gave up the 
ghost in the city, while they sought their meat 
to relieve their souls. 

20 Behold, O Lord, for I am in distress ; my 
bowels are ^ troubled : mine heart is turned with- 
in me ; for I have grievously rebelled : ^ abroad 
the sword bereaveth, at home there is as death. 

21 They have heard that I sigh ; there is 
none to comfort me: all mine enemies have heard 
of my trouble ; they ^ are glad that thou hast 
done it : thou wilt bring ^ the day that thou 
hast called, and they shall be ''like unto me. 

22 " Let all their wickedness come before 
thee ; and do unto them as thou hast done unto 
me for all my transgressions : for my sighs are 
many, and my heart is faint.

hewaileth her pitiful estate .• 

59 O Lord, thou hast seen my wrong ; judge i 
thou my '' cause. *■ 

60 Thou hast seen all their 'vengeance, and 
all tiieir imaghiations against me. 

61 Thou hast heard their ' reproach, O Lord, 
and all theix imaginations against me ; 

62 The 'lips of those that rose up against 
me, and their device against me all the day. 

63 Behold their "sitting down, and their 
rising up ; I am their music. 

64 " Render unto them a recompence, O 
Lord, according to the work of their hands. 

65 Give them sorrow of heart, thy curse unto 
them. 

&Q Persecute and destroy them in anger from 
''under the heavens of the Lord. 
CHAPTER IV. 

1 Zion bewaileth her pitiful estate : 13 She confesseth 
her sins. 21 Edom is threatened. 22 Zion is comforted. 

HOW is the gold become dim ! how is the 
most fine gold changed ! the stones of 
the sanctuary are ^poured out in the top of 
every street. 

2 The precious sons of Zion, comparable to 
fine gold, how are they esteemed ** as earthen 
pitchers, the work of the hands of the potter ! 

3 Even the sea-monsters draw out the breast, 
they give suck to their ' young ones : the daugh- 
ter of my people is become cruel, like the ostrich- 
es in the wilderness. 

4 The tongue of the sucking child cleavcth 
to the roof of his mouth for thirst ; the youn^ 
children ^ ask bread, and no men breaketh it 
unto them. 

5 They that did feed delicately are desolate 
in the streets ; they that were brought up in scar- 
let embrace ' dunghills. 

6 For the punishment of the iniquity of the 
daughter of my people is greater ^than the pun- 
ishment of the sin of Sodom, that was overthrown 
as in a moment, and no hands stayed on her. 

7 Her *=' Nazarites were purer than snow, they 
were whiter than milk, they were more ruddy in 
body than rubies, their polishing loas of sapphire : 

8 Their visage is '' blacker than a coal ; they are 
not known in the streets : their skin cleaveth to 
their bones ; it is withered, it is become like a stick. 

9 They that he slain with the sword are bet- 
ter than they that he slain with hunger : for these 
' pine away, '' stricken through for want of the 
fruits of the field. 

10 The hands of the ' pitiful women have "" sod- 
den their own children, they were their meat in 
the destruction of the daughter of my people. 

11 The Lord hath accomplished his fury; 
he hath "poured out his fierce anger, and hath 
" kindled a fire in Zion, and it hath devoured 
the foundations thereof.

13 For the '' sins of her prophets, and the ini-

so that men could not touch their garments. 

15 They cried unto them, 'Depart ye ; it is \^^^-^^'

fled away and wandered, "they said among the uDeut.28,

CHAPTER L 

1 The time of Ezekiel's prophecy at Chebar : 4 His 
vision of four chenibims, 15 of the four wheels, 26 
and of the glory of GOD. 

OW it came to pass in the thirtieth year, 
in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the 
month, as I was among the captives by the river 
of Chebar, that the * heavens were opened, and 
I saw ^ visions of God. 

2 In the fifth day of the month, (which was 
the fifth year of king Jehoiachin's captivity,) 

3 The word of the Lord " came expressly 
unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the 
land of the "^ Chaldeans, by the river Chebar ; 
and the ^ hand of the Lord was there upon him. 

4 And I ^ looked, and, behold, ^ a whirlwind 
came out of ^ the north, a great cloud, and a fire 
infolding itself, and a ' brightness ivas about it, 
and out of the midst thereof, as the colour of 
amber, out of the midst of the fire : 

b Also out of the "^ midst thereof c«/»e the like- 
ness of ' four living creatures. And this ivas their 
appearance ; they had the likeness of a man. 

6 And every one had four faces, and every 
one had four " wings. 

7 And their feet were " straight feet ; and the 
sole of their feet ivas like the sole of a ° calf's 
foot ; and they sparkled like the colour of 
f burnished brass. 

8 And they had the "J hands of a man "■ under 
their wings, on their four sides ; and they four 
had their faces and their wings. 

9 Their wings ivere 'joined one to another ; 
they * turned not when they went ; they went 
every one " straight forward. 

10 As for the likeness of their faces, they 
four had the face of ^ a man, and the face of 
y a lion on the right side ; and they four had 
the face of an '^ ox on the left side ; they four 
also had the face of ' an eagle. 



11 Thus were their faces: and their wings 
were stretched upward ; two wings of every one 
were joined one to another, and two covered 
their bodies. 

] 2 And they went every one straight forward: 
whither the ^ spirit was to go, they went ; and 
they turned not when they went. 

13 As for the likeness of the living creatures, 
their appearance ivas like *= burning coals of fire, 
and like the appearance of lamps : "^ it wen t up and 
down among the living creatures; and the fire 
was bright,and out of the fire went forth lightning. 

14 And the living creatures ^ ran and ' return- 
ed as the appearance of a flash of lightning. 

15 Now, as I beheld the living creatures, be- 
hold, s one wheel upon the ^ earth by the living 
creatures, with his four faces. 

16 The appearance ' of the wheels and their 
work was like unto the colour of a beryl ; and 
they four had one likeness : and their appear- 
ance and their work loas as it were a wheel in 
the middle of a wheel. 

17 When they went, they went upon their four 
sides ; and they turned not when they went. 

18 As for their rings, they were so ^ high, 
that they were dreadful ; and their rings were 
' full of eyes round about them four. 

19 And when the living creatures went, the 
wheels went "^ by them ; and when the living 
creatures were lifted up from the earth, the 
" wheels were lifted up. 

20 Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they 
went, thither was their spirit to go ; and the 
wheels were lifted up over against them : for the 
spirit of the living creature ° was in the wheels. 

21 When those went, these went ; and when 
those stood, these stood ; and when those were 
lifted up from the earth, the M^heels were lifted 
up over against them : for p the spirit of the liv- 
ing creature was in the wheels.

3 And say, Thus saith the Lord God unto 
Jerusalem, Thy "birth and thy nativity is oi 
the land of Canaan ; thy father was an Amorite, 
and thy mother an Hittite. 

4 And as for thy nativity, in the day thou 
wast "born, thy navel was not cut, neither wast 
thou washed in water to supple thee: thou wast 
not •* salted at all, nor swaddled at all. 

5 None eye pitied thee, to do any of these un- 
to thee, to have compassion upon thee ; but thou 
wast cast out in the open field, to the " loathing 
of thy person, in the day that thou wast born. 

6 And when I passed by thee, and saw thee 
polluted in thine own ^ blood, I said unto thee, 
when thou wast in thy blood. Live; yea, I said 
unto thee, when thou wast in thy blood, ^Live. 

7 I have caused thee to ^ multiply as the bud 
of the field, and thou hast increased and waxen 
great, and thou art come to excellent orna- 

. ments: % * breasts are fashioned, and thine hair 
is grown, whereas thou wast ^ naked and bare. 

8 Now when I passed by thee, and looked 
upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of 
t love ; and I spread my skirt over thee, and co- 
vered thy nakedness : yea, I sware unto thee, 
and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the 
Lord God, and thou becamest ' mine. 

9 Then ■" washed I thee with water ; yea, I 
throughly washed away thy blood from thee, 
and 1 " anointed thee with oil. 

10 I clothed thee also with "broidered work, 
and P shod thee with badgers' skin, and I girded 
thee about with fine linen, and I ^ covered thee 
with silk. 

1 1 I decked thee also with ornaments, and I 
put bracelets upon thine hands, and ^ a chain on 
thy neck. 

12 And 1 put a jewel on thy forehead, and 
ear-rings in thine ears, and ' a beautiful crown 
upon thine head. 

13 Thus wast thou * decked with gold and 
silver ; and thy raiment was of fine linen, and 
silk, and broidered work : thou didst eat fine 
flour, and honey, and oil ; and thou wast ex- 
ceeding " beautiful, and thou didst prosper into 
a kingdom. 

14 And thy ^ renown went forth among the 
heathen for thy beauty: for it was perfect 
through my comeliness, which ^ 1 had put upon 
thee, saith the Lord God. 

15 ^But thou didst trust in thine own beauty, 
and ^ playedst the harlot because of thy renown, 
and *> pouredst out thy fornications on every one 
that passed by ; his it was. 

16 And of thy garments thou didst take, and 
deckedst thy "= high places with divers colours, 
and playedst the harlot thereupon : the like 
things shall not come, neither shall it be so. 



17 Thou hast also ^ taken thy fair jewels ;/ 
my gold and of my silver, which I had given 
thee, and madest to thyself images of men, and 
didst commit whoredom with them : 

18 And tookest thy broidered garments, and 
coveredst them : and thou hast set mine * oil and 
mine ^ incense before them. 

19 My meat also which I gave thee, fine 
flour, and oil, and honey, wherewith 1 fed thee, 
thou hast even set it before them for a sweet sa- 
vour: and thus it was, saith the Lord God. 

20 Moreover, thou hast taken thy sons and 
thy daughters, whom thou hast ^ borne unto me, 
and these hast thou " sacrificed unto them to be de- 
voured. Is r/twof thy whoredoms a small matter, 

21 That thou hast slain my children, and de- 
livered them to cause them ' to pass through the 
fire for them ? 

22 And in all thine abominations and thy 
whoredoms thou hast "not remembered the days 
of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, 
and wast polluted in thy blood. 

23 And it came to pass, after all thy wicked- 
ness. (' wo, wo unto thee ! saith the Lord God,) 

24 That thou hast also built unto thee " an 
eminent place, and hast made thee an high place 
in evcrv street. 

2.5 thou hast built thy high place at every 
- head of the way, and hast made °thy beauty to 
be abhorred, and hast opened thy feet to every one 
that passed by, and multiplied thy whoredoms. 

26 Thou hast also committed fornication 
with the P Egyptians thy neighbours, great of 
flesh , and hast increased thy whoredoms, to 
provoke me to anger. 

27 Behold, therefore, 1 have stretched out my 
hand over thee, and have diminished thine or- 
dinary /oo(/, and delivered thee unto the will of 
them that hate thee, the daughters of the Philis- 
tines, which are -5 ashamed of thy 'lewd way. 

28 Thou hast played the whore also with the 
' Assyrians, because thou wast unsatiable ; yea, 
thou hast played the harlot with them, and yet 
couldest not be satisfied. 

29 Thou hast, moreover, multiplied thy forni- 
cation in the land of Canaan unto * Chaldea, 
and yet thou wast not satisfied herewith. 

30 How " weak is thine heart, saith the Lord 
God, seeing thou doest all these things, the 
^ work of an imperious whorish woman ; 

31 In that thou buildest thine eminent place 
in the head of every way, and makest thine high 
place in every street ; and hast not been as an 
y harlot, in that thou scornest hire ; 

32 But as a wife that committeth adultery, 
whichi'akQih 'strangers ^instead of her husband! 

33 They give gifts to all whores ; but thou 
givesi thy gifts to all Mhy lovers, and hirest

God^s justice in punishing : 

2 ^ What mean ye, that ye use this proverb 
concerning the land of Israel, saying, ^ The fa- 
thers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's 
teeth are set on edge ? 

^ As I live, saith the Lord God, ye shall not 
have occasion any more to use this proverb in 
Israel. 

4 Behold, all souls are mine ; "= as the soul of 
the father, so also the soul of the son is mine : 
the soul '^ that sinneth, it shall ^ die. 

5 But if a man be ^ just, and do ^ that which 
is lawful and right, 

6 And hath '' not eaten upon the mountains, 
neither hath ' lifted up his eyes to the idols of the 
house of Israel, neither hath '' defiled his neigh- 
bour's wife, neither hath come near to a men- 
struous woman, 

7 And hath not ' oppressed any, but hath restor- 
ed to the debtor his " pledge, hath "^ spoiled none 
by violence, hath given his ° bread to the hungry, 
and hath covered the naked with a garment ; 

8 He that hath not given forth upon p usury, 
neither hath taken any increase, that hath "J with- 
drawn his hand from iniquity, hath •■ executed 
true judgment between man and man, 

9 Hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept 
my judgments, to 'deal truly; he is just, he 
shall surely live, saith the Lord God. 

10 If he beget a son that is a robber, * a shed- 
der of blood, and that doeth the like to any one 
of these things, 

11 And that doeth not any of those duties, 
but even hath eaten upon the mountains, and 
defiled his neighbour's wife, 

12 Hath oppressed the poor and needy, hath 
spoiled by violence, hath not restored the 
pledge, and hath lifted up his eyes to the idols, 
hath committed " abomination, 

13 Hath given forth upon usury, and hath 
taken increase : shall he then live ? he shall not 
live : he hath done all these abominations ; he 
shall surely *die, his ^ blood shall be upon him. 

14 Now, lo, if he ' beget a son that * seeth all 
his father's sins which he hath done, and " con- 
sidereth, and "= doeth not such like, 

15 That hath not eaten upon the mountains, 
neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of 
the house of Israel, hath not defiled his neigh- 
bour's wife, 

16 Neither hath oppressed any, hath not 
withholden the pledge, neither hath spoiled by 
violence, but hath given his bread to the hungry, 
and hath covered the naked with a garment, 

17 Thai hath taken off his hand from the 
poor, that hath not received usury nor increase, 
hath executed my judgments, hath walked in 
my statutes ; he shall not die for the iniquity of 
his father, he shall surely live.

EZEKIEL. His ways are equal. 

^ 18 As for his father, because he "^ cruelly op- 
^ pressed, spoiled his brother by violence, and did 
} that which is not good among his people, lo, 
^ even he shall die in his iniquity. 

19 Yet say ye, Why ? doth not the son bear 
the * iniquity of the father ? When the son hath 
done that which is lawful and right, and hath 
kept all my statutes, and hath done them, he 
shall surely live. 

20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. ' The 
son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, 
neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the 
son ; the ^ righteousness of the righteous shall 
be upon him, and the ^ wickedness of the wick- 
ed shall be upon him. 

21 But if the wicked will ' turn from all his 
sins that he hath committed, and keep all my 
statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, 
he shall surely Jive, he' shall not die. 

22 All his transgressions that he hath com- 
mitted, they shall not be ^ mentioned unto him : 
' in his righteousness that he hath done he shall 
live. 

23 Have I any "pleasure at all that the wick- 
ed should die ? saith the Lord God ; and not 
that he should return from his ways, and live .? 

24 But when " the righteous turneth away n Mat. 23, 
from his righteousness, and ° committeth ini- nike is, 9 
quity, and doeth according to all the abomina- 
tions that the wicked man doeth, shall he live ? 
All his P righteousness that he hath done shall 
not be mentioned : in his trespass, that he hath 
trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, 
in them shall he die. 

25 Yet 'I ye say. The way of the Lord is not ?4^'''- ^' 
equal. Hear now, O house of Israel, *■ Is not J^^"™-^' 
my way equal ? are not ' your ways unequal ? 

26 When a righteous man turneth away from 
his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and 
dieth in them ; for his iniquity that he hath done, 
shall he die. 

27 Again, when the wicked man turneth 
away from his wickedness that he hath com- 
mitted, and doeth that which is lawful and 
right, he shall f save his soul alive. 

28 Because he * considereth, and turneth 
away from all his transgressions that he hath 
committed, he shall surely live, he shall not 
die. 

29 Yet saith the house of Israel, The way of 
the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, are not 
my ways equal ? are not your ways unequal ? 

30 Therefore I will "judge you, O house of "<=''• '.s.

ll Kings e ^vhelps amoug young lions. 
f2'chr.36, 3 And she brought up ^ one of her whelps: it 
'■ became a young lion, and it learned to catch 

the prey ; it devoured men. 

4 The nations also heard of him ; he was 
taken in their pit, and they brought him with 
chains unto the land of Egypt. 

5 Now, when she saw tliat she had ^ waited, 
and her hope was lost, then she took '' another 
of her whelps, and made him a young lion. 

6 And he went up and down among the lions, 
he became a young lion, and learned to catch 
the prey, ' and devoured men. 

7 And he knew their ^ desolate palaces, and 
he laid waste their cities ; and the land was de- 
solate, and the fulness thereof, by the noise 
of his ' roaring. 

8 Then the " nations set against him on eve- 
ry side from the provinces, and spread their 
net over him : he was taken in their pit. 

9 And they put him in ward in chains, and 
II brought him to the king of Babylon ; they 
brought him into holds, that his voice should no 
more be heard upon the mountains of Israel. 

10 Thy mother is like ° a vine in thy blood, 
planted by the waters : she was fruitful, and 
full of branches, by reason of many waters. 

1 1 And she had ° strong rods for the sceptres 
of them that bare rule, and her stature was ex- 
alted among the thick branches, and she p ap- 
peared in her height with the multitude of her 
branches. 

12 But she was *» plucked up in fury, she was 
cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried 
up her fruit ; her strong rods were broken and 
withered, ' the fire consumed them. 

13 And now she is planted in 'the wilderness, 
in a dry and thirsty ground. 

14 And ' fire is gone out of a rod of her 
branches, which hath devoured her fruit, so 
that she hath " no strong rod to he a sceptre to 
rule. This is a lamentation, and shall be for

thou judge them ? ^ cause them to know the abo-

God, ' In the day when I chose Israel, and lifted 
up mine hand unto the ^ seed of the house of Ja-

flowing with milk and honey, which is the 
'' glory of all lands ; 

7 Then said I unto them. Cast ye avv'ay every

not yourselves with the idols of Egypt : I am

8 But they rebelled against me, and would 
° not hearken unto me : they did not every man

did they forsake the idols of Egypt : then I said,

EZEKIEL. The kingdom oj Christ 

a prophet .^ upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and 



dom of Christ. 
ND the word of 



th( 



Lord came unto me, 
saying, 

2 Son of man, prophesy against the ^ shepherds 
of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, Thus 
saith the Lord God unto the shepherds. Wo be to 
the shepherds of Israel tliat do feed ''themselves! 
should not the shepherds feed the ■= flocks ? 

3 Ye eat the "^ fat, and ye clothe you with the 
wool, ye ^ kill them that are fed : hut ye feed 
not the flock. 

4 The diseased have ye not strengthened, 
neither have ye healed tJiat which was sick, 
neither have ye bound up that ivhich ivas bro- 
ken, neither have ye brought again that which 
was driven away, neither have ye sought that 
which was ^ lost ; but with ^ force and with 
cruelty have ye ruled them. 

5 And they were scattered, because there is 
^ no shepherd : and they became meat to all the 
beasts of the field when they were scattered. 

6 My sheep ' wandered through all the 
mountains, and upon every high hill : yea, my 
flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth, 
and none did ^ search or seek after them. 

7 Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of 
the Lord ; 

8 ^5 I live, saith the Lord God, surety be- 
cause my fljck became a prey, and my flock be- 
came meat to every beast of the field, because 
there was no shepherd, neither did my • shep- 
herds search for my flock, but the shepherds fed 
themselves, and fed not my flock : 

9 Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the Avord 
of the Lord ; 

10 Thus saith the Lord God, Behold, " I am 
against the shepherds ; and I will ° require my 
flock at their hand, and cause them to cease 
from feeding the flock ; neither shall the shep- 
herds feed themselves any more : for I will de- 
liver my flock from their mouth, that they may 
not be meat for them. 

11 For thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I, 
even I, will both " search my sheep, and seek 
them out. 

12 p As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in 
the day that he is among his sheep that are scat- 
tered ; so will I seek out my sheep, and will de- 
liver them out of all places where they have been 
scattered in the i cloudy and dark day. 

13 And I will bring them out from the people, 
and gather them from the countries, and will 
bring them to their ' own land, and feed them 




in all the inhabited places of the country. 

14 I will feed them ' in a good pasture, and 
upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold 
be: there shall they lie in a good fold, andm a -f"'-'"^' 

> fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains ~ ■ 
} of Israel. j'i 

15 1 will feed my flock, and I will cause them 
to * lie down, saith the Lord God. 

16 1 will seek that which was lost, and bring 
again that which was driven away, and will bind 
up that which was broken, and will strengthen 
that which was sick : but I will destroy " the fat 
and the strong; I will feed them with ^judgment. 

1 7 And as for you, O my flock, thus saith the 
Lord God, Behold, I judge between cattle and 
cattle, between the rams and the >' he-goats

but ye must foul the residue with your feet.? 

19 And as for my flock, they eat that which 
ye have trodden with your feet ; and they drink 
that which ye have fouled with your feet. 

20 Therefore, thus saith the Lord God unto 
them, Behold, I, even I, will judge between the 
fat cattle and between the lean cattle. 

21 Because ye have thrust with side and with 
shoulder, and pushed all the diseased with your 
horns, till ye have scattered them abroad ; 

22 Therefore will I save my fleck, and they 
shall no more be a prey ; and I will judge be- 
tween cattle and cattle.

The judgment of mount Seir for their hatred of Israel. 

IVrOREOVER, the word of the Lord came 
-L"-^ unto me, saying, 

2 Son of man, * set thy face against ^ mount 
Seir, and " prophesy against it, 

3 And say unto it. Thus saith the Lord God, 
Behold, O mount Seir, I am "^ against thee, and 
I v>'ill stretch out mine hand against thee, and 
I will make thee most desolate. 

4 1 will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt 
e Ps. 9, 16. be desolate ; and thou shalt ® know that 1 am 

the Lord. 

5 Because thou hast had ^ a perpetual hatred, 
and hast ^ shed the blood of ihn children of Israel

calamity, in the time //i«fi/ieir iniquity /taf/ an end: 

6 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord God, 
I will '' prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall 
pursue thee : sith thou hast 
even blood shall pursue thee. 

7 Thus will I make mount Seir most deso- 
late, and cut off from it him that " passeth out, 
and him that returneth. 

8 And I will ' fill his mountains with his slain 
mew .• in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy 
rivers, shall they fall that are slain with the sword. 

9 I will make thee "^ perpetual desolations, 
and thy cities shall " not return ; and ye shall 
know that I am the Lord.

CHAPTER XXXVL 

1 The land of Israel is comforted, both by destruction of

12 Yea, I will cause "^ men to walk upon you, 
even m v people Israel ; and they shall possess thee, 
and thou shalt be their inheritance, and thou 
shalt "■ no more henceforth bereave them of men. 

13 Thus saith the Lord God, Because they 
say unto you, Thou land ^ devourest up men, 
and hast bereaved thy nations ; 

14 Therefore thou shalt devour men no more, 
neither ' bereave thy nations any more, saith the 
Lord God. 

15 Neither will I cause men to hear in thee 
the shame of the heathen any more, neither shalt 
thou bear " the reproach of the people any more, 
neither shalt thou cause thy nations to fall any 
more, saith the Lord God. 

16 H Moreover, the word of the Lord came 
unto me, saying, 

17 Sonof man, when the house of Israel dwelt 
in their own land, they "^ defiled it by their own 
way, and by their doings : their way w^as before 
me y as the uncleanncss of a removed woman. 

18 Wherefore I ^ poured my fury upon them 
for the "" blood that they had shed upon the land, 
and for their f idols wherewith they had polluted it: 

19 And ''I scattered them among the heathen, 
and they were dispersed through the countries : 
according to their way, and according to their 
doings, I judged them. 

20 And when they entered unto the heathen, 
whither they went, they profaned " my holy 
name, when they said to them, "^ These are the 
people of the Lord, and are gone forth oat of 
his land. 

21 But I had pity "^ for mine holy name, which 
the house of Israel had profaned among the 
heathen, whither they went. 

22 Therefore say unto the house of Israel, 
Thus saith the Lord God, I do not this ''for 
your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy 
name's sake, which ye have profaned among 
the heathen, whither ye went. 

23 And I will ^ sanctify my great name which 
was profaned among the heathen, which ye 
have profaned in the midst of them ; and the 
heathen shall know that I am the Lord, saith 
the Lord God, when I shall be sanctified in you 
before their eves. 

24 For I will '' take you from among the hea- 
then, and gather you out of all countries, and 
will ' bring you into your own land. 

25 Then will I ^ sprinkle clean water upon 
you, and ye shall be clean : from all your ^ filthi- 
ness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. 

26 "Anew heart also will I give you, and a 
new spirit wdll I put within you ; and I will take 
away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I 
will give you an heart of flesh. 

27 And I will put my Spirit within you, and 




EZEKIEL. The resurrection of d'^y hones. 

° cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall 
keep my judgments, and do them. 

28 And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave 
to your fathers ; and ye shall be ° my people, 
and I will be your God. 

29 I will also p save you from all your un- 
cleannesses; and I will "^ call for the corn, and 
will increase it, and lay no famine upon you. 

30 And I will ■■ multiply the fruit of the tree, 
and the increase of the field, that ye shall receive 
no more reproach of famine among the heathen. 

31 = Then shall ye remember your own evil 
ways, and your doings that were not good, and 
shall * loathe yourselves in your OAvn sight, for 
your iniquities, and for your abominations. 

32 " Not for your sakes do I this, saith the 
Lord God, be it known unto you: be ashamed 
and confounded for your own ways, O house 
of Israel. 

33 Thus saith the Lord God, In the day 
that I shall have cleansed you from all your ini- 
quities, I will also cause you to -'^ dwell in the 
cities, and the wastes shall be builded. 

3-4 And the desolate land shall be ^ tilled, 
whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all that 
passed by. 

Sb And ^ they shall say. This land that was 
desolate is become like the * garden of Eden ; 
and the waste, and desolate, and ruined cities, 
are become fenced, and are inhabited. 

36 Then the heathen, that are left round 
about you, shall ^ know that I the Lord build the 
ruined j?/ace5, and plant that that was desolate : I 
the Lord have " spoken it, and I will do it. 

37 Thus saith the Lord God, I will yet for 
this be "^ inquired of by the house of Israel to do 
it for them ; I will increase them ^ with men 
like a flock. 

38 As the ^ holy flock, as the flock of Jerusa- 
lem in her solemn feasts, so shall the waste 
cities be filled with flocks of men ; and they shall 
know that I «m the Lord.

brought me into the " chamber that was over 
against the separate place, and which was be- 
fore the building toward the north. 

2 Before the length of an hundred cubits was 
the north door, and the breadth was fifty cubits. 

3 Over against the twenty cubits which were

A FTERWARD he brought me to the gate, 
■^^^ even the gate that looketh toward the east : 

2 And, behold, * the glory of the God of Is- 
rael came from the way of the east ; and his 
*> voice was like a noise of many waters : and 
the " earth shined with his glory. 

.3 And it ivas '' according to the appearance of 
the vision which I saw, even according to the vi- 
sion that I saw when I came ^ to destroy the city ; 
and the visions were like the vision that I saw by 
the river Chebar ; and I fell upon my face. 

4 And the glory of the Loud came into the 
house, by the way of the gate whose f pro.spect 
is toward the east. 

5 So the ^ spirit took mc up, and brought me 
into the inner court ; and, behold, the glory of 
the Lord filled the house. 

6 And I heard him speaking unto me out of 
the house ; and the man stood by me. 

7 And he said unto me, Son of man, the 
place of s my throne, and the place of the soles of 
my feet, where 1 will ^ dwell in the midst of the 
children of Israel for ever, and my holy name, 
shall the house of Israel ' no more defile, nei-

nor by the carcases of their kings in their high 
places ; 

8 In their setting of their ^ threshold by my 
thresholds, and their post by my posts, and the 
wall between me and them ; they have even de- 
filed my holy name by their abominations that 
they have committed : wherefore I have con- 
sumed them in mine anger. 

9 ' Now let them put away their whoredom, 
and the carcases of their kings, far from me, and 
I will dwell in the midst of them for ever.

to the lower settle shall be two cubits, and the 
breadth one cubit ; and from the lesser settle 
even to the greater settle shall be four cubits, and 
the breadth one cubit. 

15 So the altar shall he four cubits ; and from

saith the Lord God, These are the ordinances 
of the ahar in the day when they shall make it, 
to offer burnt-offerings thereon, and to sprinkle 
blood thereon. 

19 And thou shalt give to the priests the Le-

Lord God, a young bullock for * a sin-offering. t2 Cor.s,

22 And on the second day thou shalt oficr a 
kid of the goats without blemish for a sin-offer-

rflHEN he brought me back the way of the 
-*- gate of the outward sanctuary, which look- 
eth toward the east, and it was shut. 

2 Then said the Lord unto me. This gate 
shall be ^ shut, it shall not be opened, and no 
man shall enter in by it ; because the Lord, the 
God of Israel, ''hath entered in by it, therefore 
it shall be shut. 

3 It is for the " prince ; the prince, he shall sit 
in it to "■ eat bread before the Lord : he shall 
enter by the way of the porch of that gate, 
and shall go out by the way of the same. 

4 Then brought he me the way of the north 
gate before the house : and I looked, and, be- 
hold, the glory of the Lord filled the house of 
the Lord ; and I fell upon my face. 

5 And the Lord said unto me, Son of man, 
® mark well, and behold with thine eyes, and 
hear with thine ears, all that I say unto thee 
concerning all the ordinances of the house of 
the Lord, and all the laws thereof; and mark 
well the entering in of the house, with every 
going forth of the sanctuary. 

6 And thou shalt say to the ^ rebellious, even 
to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God, 
O ye house of Israel, let it ^ suffice you of all 
your abominations, 

7 In that ye have brought into my sanctuary, 
^ strangers, uncircumcised in ' heart, and uncir- 
cumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to pol- 
lute it, even my house, when ye offer ^ my bread, 
the fat and the blood, and they have broken my 
covenant, because of all your abominations. 

8 And ye have not kept the ' charge of mine 
holy things : but ye have set keepers of my 
charge in my sanctuary for yourselves. 

9 Thus saith the Lord God, " No stranger, 
uncircumcised in heart, nor uncircumcised in 
flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any 
stranger that is among the children of Israel. 

10 And the ° Levites that are gone away far 
from me, when Israel went astray, which went 
astray away from me after their idols; they shall 
even " bear their iniquity.

CHAPTER 1. 

1 Jehoiakim's captivity. 3 Ashpenaz taketh Daniel, Ha- 
naniah, Mishael, and Azariah. 8 They refusing the 
king's portion, do prosper with pulse and water. 17 
Their excellency in wisdom. 

IN the * third year of the reign of Jehoiakim 
king of Judah came '' Nebuchadnezzar king 
of Babylon unto " Jerusalem, and besieged it. 

2 And the Lord ''gave Jehoiakim king of Ju- ^ 
dah into his hand, with * part of the vessels of the ( 
' house of God, which he carried into the land of \ 
Shinar, to the house of his god ; and he brought f 
the vessels into the ^ treasure-house of his god. f 

3 And the king spake unto Ashpenaz the > 
master of his ennuchs, that he should ^ bring / 
certain of the children of Israel, and of the i 
' king's seed, and of the princes ; \ 

4 Children in whom was no blemish, but J 
^ well-favoured, and ' skilful in all wisdom, and ( 
cunning in knowledge, and understanding sci- f 
ence, and such as had " ability in them ° to stand ^ 
in the king's palace, and whom they might teach / 
the ° learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans. J 

5 And the king appointed them a p daily provi- > 
sion of the king's meat, and of the wine which he J 
drank: so nourishing them i three years, that at ^ 
the end thereof they might stand before the king. ' 

6 Now among these were of the ' children of \ 
Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah ; < 

7 Unto whom the prince of the eunuchs ^ gave f 
names : for he gave unto Daniel, the name of > 
Belteshazzar ; and to Hananiah, of Shadrach ; j 
and to Mishael, of Mcshach ; and to Azariah, ' 
of Abed-nego. { 

8 But Daniel ' purposed in his heart that he \ 
would not " defile himself with the portion of the \ 
king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank : 
therefore he requested of the prince of the eu- 
nuchs that he might not defile himself. 

9 Now God had brought Daniel ^ into favour 
and tender love with the prince of the eunuchs. 

10 And the prince of the eunuchs ^ said unto 



Daniel, * I fear my lord the king, who hath ap- 
pointed your meat and your drink : for why 
should he see your faces worse liking than the 
children which are of your sort ? then shall ye 
make me ^ endanger my head to the king ? 

1 1 Then ^ said Daniel to Melzar, whom the 
prince of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Ha- 
naniah, Mishael, and Azariah, 

12 Prove thy servants, I beseech thee ■= ten 
days ; and let them give us "" pulse to eat, and 
water to drink. 

13 Then let our countenances be looked upon 
before thee, and the countenance of the children 
that eat of the portion of the king's meat ; and 
as thou seest, ^ deal with thy servants. 

14 So ' he consented to them in this matter, 
and proved them ten days. 

15 And at the end often days their counte- 
nances appeared ^ fairer and fatter in flesh than 
all the children which did eat the portion of the 
king's meat. 

16 Thus Melzar ^ took away the portion of 
their meat, and the wine that they should drink, 
and gave them pulse. 

17 As for these four children, 'God gave them 
knowledge and skill in all " learning and wis- 
dom : and Daniel had understanding in all ' vi- 
sions and dreams. 

18 Now, at the "end of the days that the 
king had said he should bring them in, then the 
prince of the eunuchs brought them in before 
Nebuchadnezzar. 

19 And the king " communed with them : 
and among them all was found none like Daniel, 
Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah : therefore 
stood they before the king. 

20 And in all matters of wisdom and under- 
standing, that the king inquired of them, he 
found them f ten times better than all the magi- 
cians and astrologers that were in all his realm. 

21 And Daniel continued e?;6« unto the ° first 
year of king Cyrus.

13 Then Nebuchadnezzar, in his ^ rage and 
fury, commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, 
and Abed-nego. Then they " brought these men 
before the king. 

14 Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said unto 
them, "^ Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and

ship the golden image which I have set up ?

16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, ^ an- 
swered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, 
'' we are not careful to answer thee ' in this matter. 

17 If it be so, our God, whom we serve, ^ is 
able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace ; 
and 'he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.

19 Then was Nebuchadnezzar P full of fury, 



accused for not worshipping the image. 

and the form of his visage was changed against 
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego : therefore 
he spake, and commanded that they should heat 
the furnace one '^ seven times more than it was

21 Then these men were bound in their coats, 
their hosen, and their hats, and their other gar-

22 Therefore, because the king's command-

5 I saw a dream which made me afraid, and 
the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my

6 Therefore made I ' a decree to bring in all

7 Then came in the magicians, the astrologers, 
the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers : and I told

me the visions of my dream that I have seen,

thereof to thine enemies.

9 Wherefore king Darius * signed the writing 
and the decree. 

10 Now when Daniel " knew that the writing 
was signed, he went into his house ; and, his 
^ windows being open in his chamber ^ toward 
Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his "^ knees three 
times a-day, and prayed, " and gave thanks be- 
fore his God, ^ as he did aforetime. 

11 Then these men assembled, and *= found 
Daniel praying and making supplication before 
his God. 

12 "^ Then they came near, and spake before 
the king concerning the king's decree ; Hast 
thou not signed a decree, that every man that 
shall ask a petition of any god or man within 
thirty days, save of thee, O king, shall be cast 
into the den of lions ? The king answered and 
said, * The thing is true, according to the law of 
the Medes and Persians, which akereth not. 

13 Then answered they, and said before the 
king. That Daniel, which is of the ^ children of 
the captivity of Judah, ^legardeth not thee, O 
king, nor the decree that thou hast signed, but 
maketh his petition three times a-day. 

14 Then the king, when he heard these words, 
was sore displeased with himself, and ^ set his 
heart on Daniel to deliver him ; and he laboured 
' till the going down of the sun to deliver him. 

15 Then these men assembled unto the king, 
and said unto the king. Know, O king, that the 
^ law of the Medes and Persians is, That no de- 
cree nor statute which the king establisheth may 
be changed. 

16 ' Then the king commanded, and they 
brought Daniel, and ° cast him into the den of 
lions. Now the king spake and said unto Daniel, 
" Thy God, whom thou servest ° continually, he 
will deliver thee. 

1 7 And P a stone was brought, and laid upon 
the mouth of the den ; and the king sealed it 
with his own signet, and with the signet of his 
lords, that the purpose might not be ^ changed 
concerning Daniel. 

18 Then the king "■ went to his palace, and 
passed the night ^ fasting : neither were instru- 
ments of music brought before him ; and his 
* sleep went from him. 

19 Then the king arose " very early in the 
morning, and went in haste unto the den of lions.

22 My God bath sent his ^ angel, and * hath 
shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt 
me : forasmuch as ^ before him innocency was 
found in me ; and also " before thee, O king, 
have I done no hurt. 

23 Then was the king '^ exceeding glad for him, ^ Ex. i8, 9 
and commanded that they should take Daniel 

up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out 

of the den, and * no manner of hurt was found e.Tonah2, 

upon him, because he ^ believed in his God. f Hcb. ii,

and they '' cast the^a into the den of lions, them, 
their ' children, and their wives ; and the lions 
had the mastery of them, and brake all their 
bones in pieces or ever they came at the bottom 

of the den.

head upon his bed : then he " wrote the dream, 
•^ and told the sum of the matters.

3 And '^four great beasts ^came up from the fch.2,31.

wings : I beheld till the wings thereof were 
plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and 

' made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's i Jer. 51,

eveii till the beast was slain, and his body de- 
stroyed, and given to the * burning flame. 

12 As concerning the host of the beasts, they 
had their ^ dominion taken away : yet their lives 
were '' prolonged for a season and time. 

13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, 5 
07ie like the ' Son of man came with the clouds ; 
of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, > 
'' and they brought him near before him. ^ 

14 And there was given him 'dominion, and ^ 
glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, ^ 
and languages, should serve him : his dominion ' 
is an everlasting dominion, which shall not * 
pass away, and his kingdom that which shall t 
not be destroyed. J 

15 I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the Jl 
midst of my body, and the visions of my head J 
troubled me. 

16 1"° came near unto one of them that stood 
by, and " asked him the truth of all this. So he 
told me, and ° made me know the interpretation * 
of the things. t 

17 These great beasts, which are four, are > 
four P kings, which shall i arise out of the earth. ^ 

18 But the saints of the Mo.st High shall take i 
^^'3% the kingdom, and 'possess the kingdom for ever, J

was true, but the time appointed was ^ long : 
and he *= understood the thing, and had under- 
standing of the vision. 

2 In those days I Daniel was '' mourning 
three full weeks. 

3 I ate no ^pleasant bread, neither came flesh 
nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint my- 
self at all, ''till three whole weeks were fulfilled. 

4 And in the four and twentieth day of the 
s first month, as I was by the side of the great 
river, which is ^ Hiddekel ; 

5 Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and, 
behold, " a certain man ^ clothed in linen, whose 
loins ivere girded with fine gold of Uphaz : 

6 His body also ivas like the beryl, and his 
' face as the appearance of lightning, and his 
eyes as lam.ps of fire, and his arms and his feet 
like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of 
his words, like the voice of a multitude. 

7 And I Daniel "' alone saw the vision : for 
the men that were with me saw not the vision ; 
but a great quaking fell upon them, so that they 
° fled to hide themselves. 

8 Therefore I was left alone, and saw this 
great vision, and there remained ° no strength in 
me : for my comeliness was turned in me into 
corruption, and I retained no strength. 

9 P Yet heard I the voice of his words : and 
when I heard the voice of his words, then was I 
in a deep sleep on my face, and my face ^ to- 
ward the ground. 

10 And, behold, an hand "■ touched me, which 
set me upon my knees and upon the palms of 
my hands : 

11 And he said unto me, O Daniel, ^ a man 
greatly beloved, understand the words that I 
speak unto thee, and ' stand upright : for unto 
thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken 
this word unto me, I stood trembling. 

12 Then said he unto me, " Fear not, Daniel; 
for ^ from the first day that thou didst set thine 
heart to understand, and to chasten thyself be- 
fore thy God, thy words were heard, and I am 
come for thy words. 

13 But the y prince of the kingdom of Persia 
^ withstood me one and twenty days : but, lo, 
' Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help 
me ; and I remained there with the kings of Persia. 

14 Now I am come to make thee understand 
what shall befall thy people in the " latter days : 
for yet the vision is for many days. 

15 And when he had spoken such words unto 
me, I set my face toward the ground, and I be- 
came dumb. 

16 And, behold, one like the similitude of 
the sons of men " touched my lips: then I open- 
ed my mouth and spake, and said unto him that 
stood before me^ O my lord, '^ by the vision my

forth, lo, the prince of Grecia shall come.

Romans. 

\ LSO I, in the first year of Darius the Mede, 
-'-^ even ^ I, stood to confirm and to strength- 
en him. 

2 And now will I shew thee the truth. Be- 
hold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Per- 
sia ; and the fourth shall be far richer than they 
all : and by his strength ^ through his riches he 
shall stir up all against the realm of " Grecia. 

3 And '^ a mighty king shall stand up, that 
shall rule with ^ great dominion, and do accord- 
ing to his will. 

4 And when he shall ^ stand up, his kingdom 
shall be broken, and shall be ^ divided toward 
the four winds of heaven ; and '' not to his pos- 
terity, nor according to his dominion which he 
ruled : for his kingdom shall be plucked up, 
even for others ' besides those. 

5 And the king of the south shall be strong, 
and one of his princes ; and he shall be ^ strong 
above him, and have dominion ; his dominion 
shall be a great dominion. 

6 And in the end of years they shall join 
themselves together ; for the king's daughter of 
the south shall come to the king of the north to 
make an agreement : but she shall ' not retain 
the power of the arm ; neither shall he stand, 
nor his arm ; but she shall be given up, and they 
that brought her, and he that begat her, and he 
that strengthened her in these times.

strength of his whole kingdom, and upright ones

the daughter of women, ^ corrupting her ; but 
she shall not stand on /(/.9 6i(/e, neither be for him.

'' isles, and shall take many ; but a prince ' for

by him to cease ; without his own reproach he 
shall cause it ^ io turn upon him.

fall, and ' not be found. 

20 Then shall stand up in his estate a raiser 
of taxes in the glory of the kingdom : but 
within few days he shall be destroyed, neither 
in anger nor in battle.

1 God's judgments against the priests, the people, and \ 
the princes of Israel, for their manifold sins, 15 until ) 
they repent. ( 

HEAR ye this, * priests ; and hearken, ye ' 
house of Israel ; and give ye ear, O house > 
of the king; for judgment is toward you, be- } 
cause ye have been " a snare on Mizpah, and { 
a net spread upon Tabor. J 

2 And the revolters are "= profound to make \ 
slauoliter, though I have been '^ a rebuker of 
them all 

3 I know Ephraim, and Israel is * not hid 
from me : fur now, O Ephraim, thou commit- 
test ^ \\ horedom, and Israel is defiled. 

4 They will ^ not frame their doings to turn 
unto their God : for the spirit of whoredoms is 
in the midst of them, and they have not known 
the Lord. 

5 And the pride of Israel doth "^ testify to his 
face : therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in 
their iniquity ; Judah also shall fail with them. 

6 They shall go with their flocks and with 
their herds to seek the Lord; but they shall 'not 
find /(//«; he hath withdrawn himself from them. 

7 They have dealt treacherously against the 
Lord ; for they have begotten " strange chil- 
dren : now shall ' a month devour them with 
their portions. 

8 ■" Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, and the 
trumpet in Ramah : cry aloud at " Beth-aven, 
after thee, O Benjamin. 

9 Ephraim shall be desolate in the ° day of 
rebuke : among the tribes of Israel have I made 
known that which shall p surely be. 

10 The princes of Judah were like them that 
remove the "^ bound : therefore I will pour out 
my wrath upon them like water. 

1 1 Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judg- 
ment, because he willingly walked after the 
'commandment. 

12 Therefore will I he unto Ephraim as 'a 
moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness. 

13 When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Ju- 
dah saw his ' wound, then went Ephraim to the 
"Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb : yet could 
he not heal you, nor cure you of your wound. 

14 For I icill he unto Ephraim as ^ a lion, 
and as a young lion to the house of Judah : I, 
even I, will tear and go away ; I will take 
away, and none shall rescue him. 

15 I will go and return to my place till 
they y acknowledge their offence, and seek 
my face ; in their affliction they will ^ seek 
me early.

CHAPTER VI. 

1 An exhortation to repentance. 4 A complaint of their 

untowardness and iniquity. 
/^ O^IE, and ^ let us return unto the Lord : ^.Ezek.se, 
^^ for he hath torn, and he will heal us: he ch'.5,i5. 
hath smitten, and he will bind us up. 

2 " After two days will he revive us ; in the ^} Cor- 
third day he will raise us up, and we shall *= live cUa.'so, 
in his sight. ^° 

3 Then shall we know, ?/we " follow on to ^^^^^t- ^•^' 
know the Lord : his Agoing forth is prepared as eProv.4, 
the morning ; and he shall come unto us as the 2Cor. 3, 
rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth. ^^■ 

4 O E])hraim, ^ what shall I do unto thee ? O [[f^e V' 
Judah, what shall I do unto thee ? for your 42. 
goodness is as^a morning cloud, and as the f^^^"^^' 
early dew it goeth awav. 

5 Therefore have I '' hewed them by the pro- h Jer. 23, 
phets ; I have slain them by the words of my 
mouth : and thy judgments are as the light that 

brth. 

6 For I desired mercy, and 'not sacrifice; 'j|*=»'-9» 
and the '' knowlcdjie of God more than burnt- kjohni?, 
offerings. 

7 But thev, like men. have ' transgressed the L^"*^^'' 
covenant : "there have thev dealt treaciierously m Ezra 9 
against me. 

8 Gilead is "a city of them that work ini- "5' 2^'°^* 
quity, and is polluted with blood. 

9 And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so 

the "company of priests murder in the way by °*^^-^'^' 
consent : for they commit lewdness. 

10 I have seen ''an horrible thing in the ^o"^"'^' 
house of Israel : there is the whoredom ot ♦ 
Epiiraim, Israel is defiled. 

1 1 Also, O Judah, he hath set "an harvest for J R^'- ^'^ 
thee, ^vhen 1 Returned the captivity of my people. > Zeph.s 

CHAPTER VII. 

1 A reproof of manifold sins. 1 1 God's wrath against 
the people for their hypocrisy. 

WHEN I would have =■ healed Israel, then 9/"'^'' 
the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, 
and the wickedness of Samaria : for they com- 
mit falsehood ; and the ^ thief cometh in, and \^°^^ 1° 
the troop of robbers spoileth without : 

2 And they consider not in their hearts that 

'I remember all their wickedness: now their <^ •f^''- 1'''' ••

12 When they shall go, I will spread my ^ net

13 Wo unto them ! for they have fled from

15 Though I have ^ bound and strengthen

-^ * herdmen of '^ Tekoa, which he saw con- 
cerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of 
Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of 
Joash king of Israel, two years before the 
"= earthquake. 

2 And he said, "^ The Lord will ^ roar from 
Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem ; and 
the habitations of the shepherds shall mourn, 
and the top of Carmel shall v/ither. 

3 Thus saith the Lord, For ^ three trans- 
gressions of Damascus, and for ^four, I will 
not turn away the punishment thereof; because 
they '' have threshed Gilead with threshing-in- 
struments of iron : 

4 But ' I will send a fire into the house of 
Hazael, which shall devour the palaces of Ben- 
had ad. 

5 I will break also the ^ bar of Damascus, and 
cut off the inhabitant from the plain of Aven, 
and him that holdeth the sceptre from the house 
of Eden: and the people of Syria shall go into 
captivity unto Kir, sailh the Lord. 

6 H Thus saith the Lord, For three trans- 
gressions of Gaza, and for four, I will not turn 
away the punishment thereof: because they ' car- 
ried away captive the whole captivity, to deli- 
vei them up to Edom : 

7 But I will send ° a fire on the wall of Gaza, 
which shall devour the palaces thereof: 

8 And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ash- 
dod, and him that holdeth the sceptre from Ash- 
kelon ; and I will ° turn mine hand against Ek- 
ron : and the ° remnant of the Philistines shall 
perish, saith the Lord God. 

9 T[ Thus saith the Lord, For three transgres- 
sions of Tyrus, and for four, I will not turn 
away the punishment thereof; because they de- 
livered up the whole captivity p to Edom, and 
remembered not the "^ brotherly covenant : 

10 But I will send a fire on ' the wall of Ty- 
rus, which shall devour the palaces thereof. 

11 H Thus saith the Lord, For three trans- 
gressions of Edom, and for four, I will not turn 
away the punishment thereof; because he did 
' pursue his brother with the sword, and did cast 
off all pity, and his anger did tear perpetually, 
and kept his wrath for ever : 

12 But I will s-^nd a fire upon * Teman, which 
shall devour the palaces of Bozrah. 

13 H Thus saith the Lord, For three trans- 
gressions of the children of Ammon, and for 



four, I will not turn away the punishment there- 
of ; because they have " ripped up the women 
with child of Gilead, that they might '^ enlarge 
their border : 

14 But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Kab- 
bah, and it shall devour the palaces thereof, with 
y shouting in the day of battle, with a tempest 
in the day of the whirlwind : 

15 And their ^ king shall go into captivity, 
he and his princes together, saith the Lord. 

CHAPTER II. 

1 God's wrath against Moab, 4 upon Judah, 6 and upon 
Israel. 9 God complaineth of their unthankfulness. 

^|"^HUS saith the Lord, For three transgres- 
-^ sions of Moab, and for four, I will not turn 
away the punishment thereof; because he burned 
the " bones of the king of Edom into lime ; 

2 But ^ I witl^send a fire upon Moab, and it 
shall devour the palaces of Kirioth ; and Moab 
shall die " with tumult, with shouting, and wkh 
the sound of the trumpet : 

3 And I will cut off the '^ judge from the midst 
thereof, and will slay all the princes thereof 
with him, saith the Lord. 

4 H Thus saith the Lord, For three transgres- 
sions of Judah, and for four, I will not turn away 
the punishment thereof; because they have de- 
spised "^the law of the Lord, and have not kept 
his commandments, and their lies caused them to 
err, after the which ^ their fathers have walked ; 

5 But I will send a fire upon Judah, and it 
shall devour the ^ palaces of Jerusalem. 

6 H Thus saith the Lord, For three trans- 
gressions of ^ Israel, and for four, I will not 
turn away the punishment thereof; because they 
' sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for 
a pair of shoes ; 

7 That ^ pant after the du.st of the earth on 
the head of the poor, and turn aside the way of 
the meek ; and a ' man and his father will go in 
unto the smne maid, to " profane my holy name : 

8 And they lay themselves down u])on clothes 
laid to pledge °by every altar, and they drink the 
wine of the condemned in the house of their god. 

9 Yet ° destroyed I the Amorite before them, 
whose P height was like the height of the cedars, 
and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed 
his 1 fruit from above, and his roots from beneath. 

10 Also I brought you up from the land of 
Egypt, and "" led you forty years through the 
wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite. 

1 1 And I raised up of your sons for ^ pro- 
phets, and of your young men for Nazarites. 
* Is it not even thus, O ye children of Israel ? 
saith the Lord. 

12 But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink ,

CHAPTER V. 

A lamentation for Israel. 4 An exhortation to repent- 
21 God rejecteth their hypocritical service. 

EAR ye this word which I take up against 

you, even * a lamentation, O house of Israel. 

The ^ virgin of Israel is fallen ; she shall 

more rise : she is forsaken upon her land ; 

there is none to raise her up. 

3 For thus saith the Lord God, The city that 
went out by a thousand shall leave an hundred, 
and that which went forth by an hundred shall 
leave ten, to the house of Israel. 

4 For thus saith the Lord unto the house of 
Israel, '^ Seek ye me, and ye shall ® live. 

5 ^ But seek not Beth-el, nor enter into Gil- 
gal, and pass not to Beer-sheba : for Gilgal 
shall surely go into captivity, and Beth-el shall 
come to nought. 

6 Seek the Lord, and ye shall live ; lest he 
break out like ^ fire in the house of Joseph, and 
devour?^, and there be none to quench itin Beth-el. 

7 "^ Ye who turn judgment to ' w-ormwood, 
and leave off righteousness in the earth, 

8 Seek him that maketh the seven ^ stars and 
Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the 
morning, and maketh the day dark with night: 
that ' calleth for the waters of the sea, and pour- 
eth them out upon the face of the earth : The 
Lord is his name : 

9 That strengtheneth the " spoiled against 
the strong, so that the spoiled shall come against 
the fortress. 

10 They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, 
and they abhor him that " speaketh uprightly. 

1 1 Forasmuch, therefore, as ° your treading 
is upon the poor, and ye take from him bur- 
dens of wheat ; ye have built houses of hewn 
stone, but ye shall p not dwell in them ; ye have 
planted pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not 

fha' ^2 ^i' ^^"^^ ^vme of them. 
- ' 12 For '^ I know your manifold transgressions 

and your mighty sins : they afflict the just, they 
take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the 
gate ^rom their right. 

13 Therefore the 'prudent shall keep silence 
in that time ; for it is " an evil time

^Alas! alas! and they shall call the husband- yJ^'-s-^

brightness in it ? 

21^1 hate, I despise your feast-days, and I 
will not smell in your solemn assemblies. 

22 Though ye offer me burnt-offerings, and 

your meat-offerings, I will ''not accept ?Aem; fisa. 66, s 
neither will I regard the peace-offerings of your 
fat beasts. 

23 Take thou away from me the noise of thy 
songs ; for I will not hear the ^ melody of thy viols. 

24 But let judgment run down as waters, and 
righteousness "^ as a mighty stream. 

25 Have ye offered ' unto me sacrifices and 
offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house Ezek.24, 
of Israel.? ''•''• 

26 But ye have borne the tabernacle of your ^ 2 Kings 
■^ Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of Ac'ts7i42

1 The judgments of the grasshoppers, 4 and of the fire, 
are diverted by the prayer of Amos. 7 By a wall and 
a plumb-line is signified the rejection of Israel. 10 
Amaziah complaineth of Amos. 14 Amos shevveth 
his calling, 16 and Amaziah's judgment. 

^I^HUS hath the Lord God shewed unto me; 



and, behold, he formed * grasshoppers in

made ''an end of eating the grass of the land, then 
I said, •= O Lord G )d, forgive, I beseech thee ;

1 The certainty of the desolation. 11 The restoring of 
the tabernacle of David. 

I SAW the Lord standing upon the ^ altar : 
and he said. Smite the lintel of the door, 
that the posts may shake : and cut them in the 
head, all of them ; and I will slay the last of 
them with the sword : he that fleeth of them 
shall '' not flee away ; and he that escapeth of J 
them shall not be delivered. > 

2 Though they " dig into hell, thence shall ] 
mine hand take them ; though they climb up J 



to heaven, thence will 

3 And though they "^ hide themselves in the 
top of Carmel, I will search and take them out 
thence ; and though they be hid ^ from my sight 
in the bottom of the sea, thence will I command 
the serpent, and he shall bite them : 

4 And though they go into captivity before 
their enemies, thence will I ""command the sword, fDeut 
and it shall slay them : and I will set mine eyes 
upon them sfor evil, and not for good. 

5 And the Lord God of hosts is he that 
^ toucheth the land, and it shall melt, and all 
that dwell therein shall mourn ; and it shall 
rise up wholly like a flood, and shall be drown- 
ed, as by the flood of Egypt. 

\ 6 [t is he that buildeth his ' stories in the 

( heaven, and hath founded his ^ troop in the ii Gen. 2,1 

\ earth ; he that calleth for the waters of the sea, 

\ and poureth them out upon the face of the 

f earth ; The Lord is his name. 

J 7 Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians 

^ ' unto me, O children of Israel ? saith the Lord. 

^ Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of 

^ Egypt, and the Philistines from Caphtor, and 

^ the Syrians from Kir ? 

^ 8 Behold, " the eyes of the Lord God are 

' upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it

also make gardens, and eat tho fruit of them.

1 The destruction of Edom, 3 for their pride, 10 and for 
their wrong unto Jacob. 17 The salvation and victo- 
ry of Jacob. 

THE vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the 
Lord God concerning Edom, * We have 
heard a rumour from the Lord, and an ambas- 
sador is sent among the heathen, ^ Arise ye, and 
let us rise up against her in battle. 

2 Behold, I have made thee " small among 
the heathen : thou art greatly despised. 

3 The pride of thine heart hath '^ deceived 
thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, 
whose habitation /6- high ; that ^ saith in his heart, 
Who shall bring me down to the ground ? 

4 Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, 
and though thou set thy ^ nest among the 
stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the 
Lord. 

5 ^ If thieves came to thee, if robbers by 
night, (how art thou cut off!) would they not 
have stolen till they had enough ? if the grape- 
gatherers came to thee, would they *" not leave 
some grapes ? 

6 How are the || things of Esau searched out ! 
hoiv are his hidden things sought up ! 

7 All the men of thy ' confederacy have brought 
thee even to the border : the men that were at 
peace with thee have "^ deceived thee, aiid pre- 
vailed against thee ; they that eat thy bread 
have laid a wound under thee : there is none 
understanding in him. 

8 Shall I not in that day, saith the Lord, 
even destroy ' the wise men out of Edom, and 
understanding out of the mount of Esau ? 

9 And thy "" mighty men, O Teman, shall be 
dismayed, to the end that every one of the mount 
of Esau may be cut off by slaughter. 

10 For thy ° violence against thy brother 
•Jacob, shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt 
be cut off ° for ever. 

_ 1 1 In the day that thou stoodest on the other 
side, in the day that the p strangers carried away 
captive his forces, and foreigners entered into 
his gates, and i cast lots upon Jerusalem, even 
thou wast as one of them. 

12 But thou shouldest not have ' looked on 



the day of thy brother, in the day that he became 
a stranger; neither shouldest thou have 're- 
joiced over the children of Judah in the day of 
their destruction ; neither shouldest thou have 
spoken proudly in the day of distress. 

13 Thou shouldest ' not have entered into 
the gate of my people in the day of their calami- 
ty ; yea, thou shouldest not have looked on 
their affliction in the day of their calamity, nor 
have laid hands on their substance in the day 
of their calamity : 

14 Neither shouldest thou have stood in the 
crossway, to cut off those of his that did escape ; 
neither shouldest thou have delivered up those 
of his that did remain in the day of distress. 

15 For the " day of the Lord is near upon 
all the heathen : * as thou hast done, it shall be 
done unto thee ; thy reward shall return upon 
thine own head. 

16 For as ^ ye have drunk upon my holy 
mountain, so shall all the heathen drink con- 
tinually ; yea, they shall drink, and they shall 
' swallow down, and they shall be as though 
they haa not been. 

17 But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, 
and there shall be holiness ; and the house of 
Jacob * shall possess their possessions. 

18 And the ^ house of Jacob shall be a fire, 
and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house 
of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in 
them, and devour them ; and there shall not be 
any remaining of the house of Esau : for the 
Lord hath spoken it. 

19 And they of the south shall possess the 
•= mount of Esau ; and they of the plain the Phi- 
listines : and they shall possess the fields of 
Ephraim, and the fields of Samaria ; and Ben- 
jamin shall possess Gilead. 

20 And the captivity of this host of the chil- 
dren of Israel shall possess that of tha Canaan- 
ites, even unto Zarephath ; and the captivity of 
Jerusalem, '^ which is in Sepharad, shall possess 
the cities of the south. 

21 And ^ saviours shall come up on mount 
Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and "^the 
kingdom shall be the Lord's.

CHAPTER I. 

1 Jonah sent to Nineveh, fleeth to Tarshish : 4 He is 
hewrayed by a tempest, 11 thrown into the sea, 17 and 
swallowed by a fish. 

"OW the word of the Lord came ^ unto Jo- 
nah, the son of Amittai, sayhig, 

2 Arise, go to Nineveh, *■ that great city, and 
cry against it ; for their wickedness is come up 
' before me. 

3 But Jonah rose up ''to flee unto Tarshish 
^from the presence of the Lord, and went down 
to Joppa ; and he found a ship going to Tar- 
shish : so he paid the fare thereof, and went 
down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish 
from the presence of the Lord. 

4 But the Lord ^ sent out a great wind into 
the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in tlie 
sea, so that the ship was like to be broken. 

5 Then the mariners were afraid, and cried 
every man s unto his god, and *" cast forth the 
wares that ivere'ui the ship into the sea, to lighten 
it of them : but Jonah was gone down into the 
sides of the ship ; and he lay, and was ' fast asleep. 

6 So the shipmaster came to him, and said 
unto him, '' What meanest thou, O sleeper ? 
arise, * call upon thy God, if so be that God will 
think upon us, that we perish not. 

7 And they said every one to his fellow. 
Come, and let us "■ cast lots, that we may know 
for whose cause this evil is upon us. So they 
cast lots, and the lot" fell upon Jonah. 

8 Then said they unto him, ° Tell us, we pray 
thee, for whose cause this evil is upon us. What 
is P thine occupation ? and whence comest 
thou ? what is thy country.'' and of what people 
art thou ? 

9 And he said unto them, I "^ «ot an Hebrew ; 
and "■ I fear the Lord, the God of heaven, which 
hath made the sea and the dry land. 

10 Then were the men exceedingly ^afraid, 
and said unto him, Why hast * thou done this ? 
(for the men knew that he fled from the presence 
of the Lord, because he had told them.) 

1 1 Then said they unto him, " What shall we 
do unto thee, that the sea may be calm unto us.'' 
(for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous.) 

12 And he said unto them, "" Take me up, and 
cast me forth into the sea ; so shall the sea be 
calm unto you : for I know that ^ for my sake 
this great tempest is upon you. 

13 Nevertheless, the men M'owed hard to bring 
it to the land ; but they ^ could not: for the sea 
wrought, and was tempestuous against them. 

14 Wherefore they cried unto the Lord, and 
said, We beseech thee, O Lord, we beseech 
thee, let us not perish for th

lay not upon us innocent blood : for thou, O 
Lord, hast done ^ as it pleased thee. 

15 So they took up Jonah, and ''cast him forth 
into the sea; and the sea *= ceased from her raging. 

16 Then the men ^ feared the Lord exceed- 
ingly, and *■ offered a sacrifice unto the Lord, 
and made vows. 

17 Now the Lord had s prepared a great 
fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in 
the belly of the fish three days and ^ three nights. 

CHAPTER II. 

1 The prayer of Jonah : 10 He i.« delivered from the fish. 
rfflHEN Jonah prayed unto the Lord his God 
-fi- ^ out of the fish's bellv, 

2 And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction 
unto the Lord, and he ^ heard me; out of the 
belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice. 

3 For thou hadst cast *= me into the deep, in 
the midst of the seas ; and the floods "^ compass- 
ed me about : all thy billows and thy waves 
passed over me. 

4 Then ^ I said, I am cast out of thy sight ; 
yet 1 will ^ look again toward thy holy temple. 

5 The s waters compassed me about even to 
the soul : the depth closed me round about, the 
weeds were wrapped about my head. 

6 I went down to the bottoms of the moun- 
tains ; the earth with her bars ivas about me for 

ever : '' yet hast thou brought up my life from ^j'^^n. 22, 
corruption, O Lord my God. 

7 When my soul fainted within me ' I re- 
membered the Lord ; and my prayer came in 
unto thee, into thine holy temple. 

8 They that observe lying vanities ^ forsake 
their own mercy. 

9 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice 
of ^ thanksgiving ; I will pay that that I have 
vowed. Salvation is of the Lord. 

10 And the Lord "spake unto the fish, and 
it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land. 

CHAPTER III. 

1 Jonah sent again, preacheth to the Ninevites. 5 Upon 
their repentance, 10 God repenteth. 

\ ND the word of the Lord came unto Jonah 
-^^ the "second time, saying, 

2 Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and 
preach unto it the preaching ^ that I bid thee. 

3 So Jonah arose, and ° went unto Nineveh, 
according to the word of the Lord. (Now 
Nineveh was an exceeding great city, of three 
days' journey.) 

4 And Jonan began to enter into the city a 
day's journey ; and he cried, and said, ''Yet forty 
days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown. 

5 So the ^people of Nineveh believed God, 
and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from

CHAPTER III. 

1 The cruelty of the princes. 5 The falsehood of the 
prophets. 8 The security of them both. 

ND I said. Hear, I pray you, O heads of 
Jacob, and ye princes of the house of 
Israel ; Is it not " for you to know judgment ? 

2 Who ^ hate the good, and love the evil ; 
who •= pluck off their skin from off them, and 
their flesh from off their bones ; 

3 Who also "^ eat the flesh of my people, and ^Ps. 14,4. 
flay their skin from off them ; and they break " ' ' 
their bones, and chop them in pieces as for the 

pot, and as flesh within the caldron. 

4 Then shall they ^ cry unto the Lord, but eProv. i, 
he will not hear them ; he will even hide his isa. ii, 5. 
face from them at that time, as they have be- 
haved themselves ill in their doings. 

5 Thus saith the Lord concerning the pro- 
phets that make my people err, that ^ bite with 
their teeth, and cry. Peace : and he that ^ put- 
teth not into their mouths, they even prepare Ezek. 13 
war against him : ^^■ 

6 Therefore '' night s^a//6e unto you, that ye l^ek^il^' 
shall not have a vision ; and it shall be dark unto 22. &'i3,'3. 
you, that ye shall not divine; and the sun shall ' 

go down over the prophets, and the day shall 
be dark over them. 

7 Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the 
diviners confounded ; yea, they shall all cover 

their ' lips : for there is no ^ answer of God. j Mai. 2,8

of the Lord, and of judgment, and of might, to 's"'*^^' 
declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Is- isa. so, t. 
rael his sin. 

9 Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house 
of Jacob, and princes of the house of Israel, that 
abhor judgment, and pervert all equity.

CHArTER I. 

The majesty of God ia goodness to his people, and 
severity against his enemies. 

^T^HE burden of * Nineveh. The book of the 
-'- vision of Nahum the Elkoshite. 

2 God is "jealous, and the Lord revenjeth : 
the Lord reven^eth, and is furious: the Lord 
will take vengeance on his adveisaries, and he 
reserveth tcraih for his enemies. 

3 The Lord is" slow to an^er, and £:reat in 
poAver, and will not at all acquit (he wicked: the 
Lord hath his way in the w hirlwind and in the 
storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet. 

4 He "^ rebu keth the sea, and maketh it dry, and 
drieth up all the rivers: Bashan languisheth, and 
Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon lanjuisheth. 

5 The * mountains quake at him, and the hills 
melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, 
yea, ^ the world, and all that dwell therein. 

6 « Who can stand before his indignation .' 
and who can abide in the fierceness of his 
anser .' his fury is '' poured out like fire, and the 
rocks are thrown down by him. 

7 The Lord is ' good, a strons: hold in the 
day of trouble : and he ^ knoweth them that 
trust in him. 

8 'But MWh an over-rurming flood he Avill 
make an utter end of the place thereof, and 
darkness shall pursue his enemies. 

9 What do ye ■" imagine against the Lord .' 
he will make an utter end: aflliciion shall not 
rise up the second time. 

10 For while they he "folden together as 
thorns, and while they are drunken as drunkards, 
they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry. 

1 1 There is one come out of thee that ima^in- 
eth evil against the Lord, a "wicked counsellor. 



12 Thus saith the Lord, Though they he 

p quiet, and likewise many, yet thus shall they be i^^^^- ^^' 

cut down, when he shall pass through. Though 

I have '^ afilictcd thee, I will afflict thee ""no more. S-^*"- "^ 

13 For now will I ' break his yoke from oflf risa.eo, 
thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder. Rev. 10,6. 

14 And the Lord hath ' ^iven a command- l^^**^'' 
ment concerning thee, ?/taf no moreof thy "name '^-a. 13,3 
be sown: out of the house of thv gods will I cut uPro.l'o, 
off the graven imaje, and the molten image ; I ' 

will make thy grave : for thou art vile. 

15 Behold upon the ^mountains the feet of ^^^- '°' 
him that brinseth ^ sood tidings, that publisheth -^Z"-^' 
peace! O Judah, keep thy solemn feasts, per- ^rseii. 
form thy vows : for the wicked shall no more 

pass through thee : he is utterlv cut off.

2 For the Lord hath turned away ' the ex- ^^^■^' 
cellencv of Jacob, as the excellencv of Israel : 

for the '^ emptiers have emptied them out, and ^^^- ^' 
marred their vine branches. Rev. 13,

CHAPTER I. 

1 Unto Habakkuk, complaiaing of the iniquity of the land, 
5 is shewed the fearful vengeance by the Chaldeans : 
12 He complaineth that vengeance should be executed 
by them who are far worse. 

^ I ^ HE burden which Habakkuk the prophet 
-*- did ^see. 

2 O Lord, '' how long shall I cry, and thou 
wilt ' not hear ! even cry out unto thee of vio- 
lence, and thou wilt not save ! 

3 Why dost thou '^ shew me iniquity, and 
cause mc to behold grievance .'' for spoiling and 
violence are before me : and there are that raise 
up strife and contention. 

4 Therefore the law is ^slacked, and judg- 
ment doth never go forth : for the wicked doth 
' compass about the righteous; ^ therefore wrong 
judgment proceedeth. 

5 1[ Behold ye among the heathen, and re- 
gard, and wonder marvellously; for 1 will '' work 
a work in your days, ichich ye will ' not believe, 
though it be told you. 

6 For, lo, I raise up the '' Chaldeans, that bit- 
ter and ' hasty nation, which shall march through 
the breadth of the land, to possess the dwelling- 
places that are not theirs. 

7 They are terrible and dreadful : their judg- 
ment and their dignity shall proceed of them- 
selves. 

8 Their horses also are swifter than the leo- 
pards, and are more fierce than the '" evening 
wolves : and their horsemen shall spread them- 
selves, and their horsemen shall come from far ; 
they shall fly as the " eagle that hasteth to eat. 

9 They shall come all for violence : their 
faces shall sup up as the °east wind, and they 
shall gather the captivity as the sand. 

10 And they shall scoff f' at the kings, and the 
princes shall be a scorn unto them : they shall 
deride every strong hold ; for they shall "J heap 
dust, and take it. 

1 1 Then shall ' his mind change, and he shall 
pass over, and offend, imputing this his power 
unto his god. 

12 Art thou not from everlasting, O Lord 
my God, mine Holy One .'' we shall = not die. O 
Lord, thou hast ordained 'them for judgment; 
and, O mighty God, thou hast established them 
for correction. 

13 Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, 
and canst not look on iniquity : wherefore look- 
est thou upon them that " deal treacherously, 
and boldest thy tongue when the wicked * de- 
voureth the man that is more righteous than he ? 

14 And makestmen as the fishes of the sea, as 
the creeping things, that have ^ no ruler over them.'^ 



13 They take up all of them with the ' angle, 
they catch them in their net, and gather them in 
their drag ; therefore they rejoice and are glad. 

1 6 Therefore they ^ sacrifice unto theii- net, and 
burn incense unto their drag; because by them 
their "^ portion is fat, and their meat plenteous. 

17 Shall they therefore empty their net, and 
not spare continually to "^ slay the nations ? 

CHAPTER n. 

I Unto Habakkuk waiting for an answer, is shewed that 
he must wait by faith. 5 The judgment upon the Chal- 
deans for insatiableness, 9 for covetousness, 12 for 
cruelt}', 13 for drunkenness, 18 and for idolatry. 

1" WILL stand upon my " watch, and set me 
-'- upon the tower, and will watch to see what 
he will say |j unto me, and what I shall answer 
when I am reproved. 

2 And the Lord answered me, and said, 
Write the vision, and make it plain upon ^ ta- 
bles, that he m;iy run that readeth it. 

3 For the vision is yet for " an appointed time, 
but at the end it shall speak, and not lie : though 
it tarry, wait for it ; because it will surely '^come, 
it will not tarry. 

4 Behold, his soul ivhichis * lifted up is not up- 
right in him : but the 'just shall live by his faith. 

5 Yea also, because he transgresseth ^ by wine, 
he is a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who 
'' enlargeth his desire as hell, and is as death, and 
cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all 
nations, and heapeth unto him all people : 

6 Sliallnot all these take up 'a parable against 
him, and a taunting proverb against him, and 
say, ^V'o to him that increaseth that which is not 
his ! how long ? and to him that ladeth himself 
*= with thick clay ! 

7 Shall they not rise up ' suddenly that shall 
bite thee, and awake that shall vex thee, and 
thou shalt be for booties unto them ? 

8 Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all 
the remnant of the people shall spoil thee ; be- 
cause of men's blood, and ^or the "violence of 
the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein. 

9 Wo to him that ° coveteth an evil covetous- 
ness to his house, that he may set his ° nest on 
high, that he may be delivered from the power 
of evil ! 

10 Thou hast consulted p shame to thy house 
by cutting off many people, and hast sinned 
against thy soul. 

11 For the stone shall cry out of the wall, 
and the beam out of the tim.ber shall answer it. 

12 Wo to him that buildeth a town with 
blood, and stablisheth a city by iniquity ! 

13 Behold, is it not of the Lord of hosts that 
the people shall labour in the "J very fire, and the

CHAPTER I. 

God's severe judgment against Judah for divers sins. 

THE ^ word of the Lord which came unto 
Zephaniah the son of Cushi, the son of Ge- 
daliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hizkiah, 
in the days of Josiah the son of Amon king of 
Judah. 

2 I will utterly '^ consume all things from off 
the land, saith the Lord. 

3 I will consume ''man and beast; I will con- 
sume the fowls of the heaven, and the fishes of ) 
the sea ; and the '^ stumbling-blocks with the > 
wicked ; and I will cut off man from off the S 
land, saith the Lord. ) 

4 I will also stretch out mine hand upon Ju- \ 
dab, and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem ; j 
and 1 will cut off the remnant of *Baal from i 
this place, and the name of the Chemarims with ^ 
the priests ; \ 

5 And them that worship the host of heaven t 
upon the house-tops; and them that worship i 
and that ^swear by the Lord, and that swear / 
by Malcham ; ^ 

6 And them that are « turned back from the ^ 
Lord ; and those that have '' not sought the J 
Lord, nor inrpiircd for him. * 

7 ' Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord ^ 
Goo ; for the day of the Lord is at hand : for t 
the Lord hath prepared *" a sacrifice, he hath f 
bid his jjuests. > 

8 And it shall come to pass in the day of i 
the Lord's sacrifice, that I will punish the \ 



the day of the Lord : the mighty man shall cry 
there bitterly. 

15 " That day is a day of wrath, a day of 
trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and de- 
solation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a 
day of clouds and thick darkness, 

16 A day of the '^ trumpet and alarm against 
the fenced cities, and against the high towers. 

17 And I will bring distress upon men, that 
they shall walk like ^ blind men, because they 
have sinned against the Lord : and their blood 
shall be "■ poured out as dust, and their flesh as 
the dun":. 

18 Neither their silver nor their gold shall 
* be able to deliver them in the day of the 
Lord's wrath ; but the whole land shall be de- 
voured by the fire of his Jealousy : for he shall 
make even a '' speedy riddance of all them that 
dwell in tlie land.

10 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith ^

CHAPTER I. ; 

Zechariah exhorteth to repentance. 7 The vision of 
the horses. 12 At the prayer of the angel comfortable 
promises are made to Jerusalem. 18 The vision of ( 
the four horns, and the four carpenters. i 

N the ^ eighth month, in the second year of t 
Darius, came the word of the Lord unto ,» 
Zechariah, the son of ''Berechiah, the son of \ 
Iddo the prophet, saying, ' 

2 The Lord hath been "= sore displeased with \ 
your fathers. i 

3 Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith ' 
the Lord of hosts, Turn ye unto me, saith the «• 
Lord of hosts, and '^ I will turn unto you, saith «• 
the Lord of hosts. t 

4 Be ye not " as your fathers, unto whom the \ 
former prophets have cried, saying. Thus saith i 
the Lord of hosts. Turn ye now from your evil ) 
ways, and ^'om your evil doings : but they did 
not hear, nor hearken unto me, saith the Lord. 

5 Your fathers, '^ where are they.'' and the 
prophets, do they live for ever ? 

6 But my words and my statutes, which I 
commanded my servants the prophets, did they 
not ^take hold of your fathers? and they return- 
ed, and said. Like as the Lord of hosts thought 
to do unto us, according to our ways, and ac- 
cording to our doings, ^ so hath he dealt with us. ' 

7 H Upon the four and twentieth day of the * 



eleventh month, v/hich is the month Sebat, in 
the second year of Darius, came the word of 
the Lord unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, 
the son of Iddo the prophet, saying, 

8 I saw by night, and, behold, ' a man riding 



upon ^ a red horse, and he stood among the ' myr- 
tle-trees that were in the bottom ; and behind 
him were there red horses, speckled, and white. 

9 Then said I, O my lord, " what are these ? 
And the angel that talked with me said unto me, 
I will shew thee what these he. 

10 And the man that stood among the myrtle- 
trees answered and said, These are they whom 
the Lord hath "sent to walk to and fro through 
the earth. 

1 1 And they answered the angel of the Lord 
that stood among the myrtle-trees, and said, We 
have "walked to and fro through the earth, and, 
behold, all the earth Psitteth still, and is at rest. 

12 Then the 'J angel of the Lord answered 
and said, O Lord of hosts, ""how long wilt 
thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the 
cities of Judah, against which thou hast had 
indignation these ' threescore and ten years ? 

13 And the Lord answered the angel that 
talked with me loith * good words, and com- 
fortable words. 

14 So the angel that communed with me said 
unto me. Cry thou, saying, Thus saith the 
Lord of hosts, I am "jealous for Jerusalem and 
for Zion with a great jealousy. 

15 And I am ^very sore displeased with the 
heathen that are at ease : for 1 was but a little 
displeased, and they ^ helped forward the af- 
fliction. 

16 Therefore thus saith the Lord, "■ I am re- 
turned to Jerusalem with mercies : ^ my house 
shall be built in it, saith the Lord of hosts, and a 
line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem^.

CHAPTER I. 

1 Malachi complaineth of Israel's unkindness, 6 of their 
irreligiousness, 12 and profaneness. 

THE burden of the word of the Lord to 
^ Israel by Malachi. 

2 I have ^ loved you, saith the Lord : yet 
ye say, " Wherein hast thou '' loved us ? Was 
not Esau Jacob's brother.? saith the Lord: yet 
I loved Jacob, 

3 And I ^ hated Esau, and laid •■ his moun- 
tains and his heritage waste for the dragons of 
the wilderness. 

4 Whereas Edom saith, We are ^ impover- 
ished, but '' we will return and build the deso- 
late places; thus saith the Lord of hosts. They 
shall build, but I will throw down ; and they 
shall call them, The ' border of wickedness, 
and, The people against whom the Lord hath 
indignation for ever. 

5 And ^ your eyes shall see, and ye shall say, 
The Lord will be ' magnified from the border 
of Israel. 

6 A son ° honoureth his father, and a ser- 
vant his master : if then I 6e a ° father, where is 
mine honour ? and if I 6e a master, where is my 
fear ? saith the Lord of hosts unto you, ° O 
priests, that despise my name. And ye say, 
Wherein p have we despised thy name ? 

7 Ye offer *> polluted bread upon mine altar ; and 
ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee ? In that 
ye say, "^The table of the Lord is contemptible. 

8 And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, ' is it 
not evil ? and if ye offer the ' lame and sick, is 
it not evil ? offer it now unto thy governor : will 
he be pleased with thee, or accept thy person ? 
saith the Lord of hosts. 

9 And now, " I pray you, beseech God that 
he will be gracious unto us : this hath been by 
your means : will he ^ regard your person ? saith 
the Lord of hosts. 

10 Who is there even among you that would 
shut the doors ybr nought? neither do ye kindle 
fire y on mine altar for nought. I have ^ no plea- 
sure in you, saith the Lord of hosts, neither 
will I accept an offering at your hand. 

11 For fVom the rising of the sun, even unto 
the going down of the same, my name shall he 
great ^ among the Gentiles ; and '' in every place 
incense shall he offered unto my name, and a 
pure offering : for my name shall he great among 
the heathen, saith the Lord of hosts. 

12 But "^ ye have profaned it, in that ye say. 
The table of the Lord is ^ polluted ; and the 
fruit thereof, even his meat, is contemptible. 



13 Ye said also, Behold, what a ^ weariness 
is it ! and ye have snuffed at it, saith the Lord 
of hosts : and ye brought that which ivas torn, 
and the lame, and the sick ; thus ye brought an 
offering : should I accept this of your hand ? 
saith the Lord. 

14 But cursed he the ' deceiver, which hath 
in his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth 
unto the Lord a corrupt thing: for I am a great 
^King, saith the Lord of hosts, and my name 
is dreadful among the heathen. 

CHAPTER II. 

1 He sharply reproveth the priests for neglecting their 
covenant ; 1 1 and the people for idolatry, 14 for adul- 
tery, 17 and for infidelity. 

AND now, O ye * priests, this commandment 
is for you. 
2 If ye will ^ not hear, and if ye will not lay 
it to heart, to *= give glory unto my name, saith 
the Lord of hosts, I will even send a curse upon 




j yo" 



and will '^ 



curse your blessings ;

have cursed them already, because ye do not 
lay it to heart. 

3 Behold, I will corrupt ^ your seed, and ePs.37,2a 
*■ spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of 
your solemn feasts, and one shall take you away 
with it. 

4 And ye shall ^ know that I have sent this g isa. 26, 
commandment unto you, that ^ my covenant h Num. 1,5 
might be with Levi, saith the Lord of hosts. 

5 My covenant was with him ' of life and 
peace ; and I gave them to him for the fear 
wherewith he feared me, and was ^ afraid be- 
fore my name. 

6 The ' law of truth was in his mouth, and 
° iniquity was not found in his lips : he walked 
with me in peace and equity, and did " turn 
many away from iniquity. 

7 For the priest's ° lips should keep know- 
ledge, and they should p seek the law at his 
mouth : for he is the messenger of the Lord 
of hosts. 

8 But ye are '' departed out of the way ; ye 
have caused many to stumble ' at the law ; ye 
have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the 
Lord of hosts. 

9 Therefore have I also made you ' contempt- 
ible and base before all the people, according 
as ye have not kept my ways, but have been 
^ partial in the law. 

10 Have we not all "one father.? hath not one 
God created us? why do we deal ^ treacherous- 
ly every man against his brother, by profaning 
the covenant of our fathers ?

CHAPTER I. 

1 Josias bis charge to the priests and Levites. 7 A great passover 
is kept. 32 His death is much lamented. 34 His successors. 53 
The temple, city, and people are destroyed. 56 The rest are 
carried unto Babylon. 

AND Josias held the ^ feast of the passover in Je- 
rusalem unto his Lord, and offered the passover 
'' the fourteenth day of the first month ; 

2 Having set the priests according to their daily 
courses, being arrayed in long garments, in the temple 
of the Lord. 

3 And he spake unto the Levites, the holy ministers 
of Israel, that they should hallow themselves unto the 
Lord, to set the holy ark of the Lord in the house 
that king Solomon the son of David had built : 

4 And said, Ye shall no more bear the ark upon 
your shoulders : now therefore sei-ve the Lord your 
God, and minister unto his people Israel, and prepare 
yuii ' after your families and kindreds, 

5 According as David the king of Israel prescribed, 
and according to the magnificence of Solomon his 
son : and standing in the temple according to the se- 
veral dignity of the families of you the Levites, who 
minister in the presence of your brethren the children 
of Israel, 

6 Offer the passover in order, and make ready the 
sacrifices for your brethren, and keep the passover 
according to the commandment of the Lord, which 
was given unto ]\Ioses. 

7 ''And unto the people that was found there Josias 
gave thirty thousand lambs and kids, and three thou- 
sand calves : these things were given of the king's al- 
lowance, according as he promised to the people, to 
the priests, and to the Levites. 

8 And Helkias, Zacharias, and || Syelus, the go- 
vernors of the temple, gave to the priests for the pass- 
over two thousand and six hundred sheep, and three 
hundred calves. ' 

9 And Jeconias, and Samaias, and Nathanael his 
brother, and Assabias, and Ochiel, and Joram, cap- 
tains over thousands, gave to the Levites for the pass- 
over five thousand sheep, and || seven hundred calves. 

10 And when these things were done, the priests 
and Levites having the imleavened bread, stood in 
very comely order according to the kindreds, 

11 And according to the several dignities of the 
fathers before the people, to offer to the Lord, as it is 
written in the book of Moses : ^ and thus did they in 
the morning. 

12 And they roasted the passover with fire, as ap- 
pertaineth : as for the sacrifices, they sod them in brass 
pots, and pans, || with a good savour, 

13 And set them before all the people: and after- 
ward diey prepared for themselves, and for the priests 
their brethren, the sons of Aaron. 

14 For the priests offered the fat until night: '"and 
the Levites prepared for themselves, and the priests 
their brethren, the sons of Aaron. 

15 The holy singers also, the sons of Asaph, were 
in their order, according to the appointment fe' of Da- 



vid, to wit, Asaph, Zacharias, and Jeduthun, who was 
•" of the king's retinue. 

16 Moreover, the porters were at every gate ; it 
was not lawful for any to go from his ordinary ser- 
vice : for their brethren the Levites prepared for them. 

17 ' Thus were the things that belonged to the sa- 
crifices of the Lord accomplished in that day, that 
they might hold the passover, 

18 And ofler sacrifices upon the altar of the Lord, 
according to the commandment of king Josias. 

19 So the children of Israel which were present 
^ held the passover at that time, and the feast of sweet 
bread seven days. 

20 ' And such a passover was not kept in Israel 
since the time of the prophet Samuel. 

21 Yea, all the kings of Israel held not such a pass- 
over as Josias, and the priests, and the Levites, and 
the. Jews, held with all Israel that were found dwelling 
at Jerusalem. 

22 " In the eighteenth 3'ear of the reign of Josias 
was this passover kept. 

23 And tile works of Josias were upright before 
his Lord, with an heart full of godliness. 

24 As for the things that came to pass in his time, 
they were written in former times, concerning those 
that sinned, and {| did wickedly against the Lord 
above all people and kingdoms, and how they grieved 
him |] exceedingly, so that the words of the Lord rose 
up against Israel. 

25 " Now after all these acts of Josias it came to 
pass, that Pharaoh the king of Egypt came to raise 
war at Carchamis upon Euphrates : and Josias went 
out against him. 

26 ° But the king of Eg}^pl sent to him, saying, 
What have I to do with thee, O king of Judea ^ 

27 I am not sent out from the Lord God against 
thee ; for my war is upon Euphrates : and now the 
Lord is with me, yea, the Lord is with me hasting me 
forward : depart from me, and be not against the Lord. 

28 P Howbeit Josias did not turn back his chariot 
from him, but undertook to fight with him, not regard- 
ing the words of the prophet Jeremy, spoken by the 
mouth of the Lord : 

29 ' But joined battle with him in the plain of Me- 
giddo, and the princes came against king Josias. 

30 Then said the king unto his servants. Carry me 
away out of the battle ; for I am very weak. And 
immediately his servants took him away out of the 
batde. 

31 Then gat he up upon his second chariot ; and 
being brought back to Jerusalem died, "" and was bu- 
ried in his father's sepulchre. 

32 ' And in all Jewry they mourned for Joslus, yea, 
Jeremy liie prophet lamented for Josias. and the chief 
men with the women made lamentation for him unto 
this day : and this V.'HS given out for an ordinance to 
be done continually in aiJ the nation of Israel.

17 To king Artaxerxes our lord, Thy servants 
Rathumus the story-writer, and Semellius the scribe, 
and the rest of their council, and tlie judges that are 
in Celosyria and Phenice. 

18 Be it now known to the lord the king, that the 
Jews that are come up from you to us, being come into 
Jerusalem (tliat rebellious and wicked city) do build 
the market-places, and repair the walls of it, and do 
lay the foundation of the temple. 

19 Now if this city and the walls thereof be made 
up again, ' they will not only refuse to give tribute, but 
also rebel against kings. 

20 And forasmuch as the things pertaining to the 
temple are now in hand, we think it meet not to ne- 
glect such a matter, 

21 But to speak unto our lord the king, to the in- 
tent tliat, if it be thy pleasure, it may be sought out in 
the books of tliy fathers : 

22 '' And thou slialt find in the chronicles what is 
written concerning these things, and slialt understand 
that that city was rebellious, troubhngboth kings and 
cities : 

23 And that the Jews were rebellious, and raised 
always wars therein ; for the which cause even this city 
was made desolate. 

24 Wherefore now we do declare unto thee, (O lord 
the kinsr) that if this city be built again, and the walls 
thereof set up anew, thou slialt from henceforth have no 
passage into Celosyria and Phenice.

and to the reft that were in commission, and d« ellers 
in Samaria, and S^ria, and Phenice, after this manner; 

2G I have read the epistle which ye ha\e sent unto 
me ; therefore I commanded to make diligent search, 
and it hath been found, that that city was from the be- 
ginning practising against kings; 

27 Ajid the men therein were given to rebellion and 
war : "" and that mighty kings and fierce were in Jeru-

23 Now therefore I have commanded to hinder those 
men from building the city, and heed to be taken that 
there be no more done in it;

were in commission with them, removing in haste to- 
wards Jerusalem with a troop of horsemen, and || a

^ into his bed-chamber, and slept, and soon after awaked.

i that kept the king's bod} , spake one to another ;

great gifts, and great things in token of victory :

gold, and an head-tire of fine linen, and a chain about

7 And he shall sit next to Darius, because of his 
wisdom, and shall be called Darius his cousin. 

8 And then ever}' one wTote his sentence, sealed it,

give him the writings ; and of whose side the king and

and from that time to this being still a build- ^

21 Now therefore, if it seem good unto the king, 
let search be made among the || records of ^ king Cyrus : 

22 And if it be found that the building of the house 
of the Lord at Jerusalem, hath been done with the 
consent of king Cyrus, and if our lord the king be so 
minded, let him signify unto us thereof. 

23 ^ Then commanded king Darius to seek among ^ 
the records at Babylon : and so at Ecbatana, the pa- ^ 
lace, w hich is in the country of Media, there was found i 

jl Or, place, a || roU wherein these things were recorded. \ 

cEzTra'iji. ^"^ "I" ^'^^ ^^'^^ J^'^*' °*' ^'^^ reign of Cyrus, king ^ 
Cyrus commanded that the house of the Lord at Jeru- J 
salem should be built again, where they do sacrifice 
with continual fire : 

25 Whose height shall be sixty cubits, and the 
breadth sixt}' cubits, with three rows of hewn stones, 
and one row of new wood of that country ; and the 
expenses thereof to be given out of the house of king 
Cyrus : 

26 ^ And that the holy vessels of the house of the 
Lord, both of gold and silver, that Nabuchodonosor 
took out of the house at Jerusalem, and brought to 
Babylon, should be restored to the house at Jerusalem, 
and be set in the place where they were before. 

27 And also he commanded that Sisinnes the go- 
vernor of Syria and Phenice, and Sathrabuzanes, and 
their companions, and those which were appointed 
rulers in Syria and Phenice, should be careful not to 
meddle with the place, but suffer ^ Zorobabel, the 
servant of the Lord, and governor of Judea, and t]]e | 
elders of the Jews, to build the house of the Lord in ( 
that place. } 

28 I have commanded also to have it built up \ 
whole again ; and that they look diligently ^ to help { 
those that be of the captivity of the Jews, till the 
house of the Lord be finished : 

29 And out of the tribute of Celosyria, and Phenice, 
a portion carefully to be given these men, for the sa- 
crifices of the Lord, that is, to Zorobabel the gover- 
nor, for bullocks, and rams, and lambs ; 

30 And also corn, salt, wine, and oil, and that con- 
tinually every year without further question, accord- i 
ing as the priests that be in Jerusalem shall signify to ^ 
be daily spent : ^ 

31 That II offerings may be made to the most high i 
God, s for the king, and for his children, and that / 
they may pray for their lives, ■ 

32 And he commanded '' that whosoever should 
transgress, yea, or make light of any thing afore spo- 
ken or written, out of his own house should a tree be 
taken, and he thereon be hanged, and all his goods 
seized for the king. 

33 The Lord therefore, whose name is there call- 
ed upon, utterly destroy every king and nation, that 
stretcheth out his hand to hinder or endamage that 
house of the Lord in Jerusalem. 

34 I Darius the king have ordained that according 
unto these things it be done with ' diligence.

1 Esdras is commanded to reprove the people. 24 God threateneth 
to cast them ofi", 35 and to give their bouses to a people of more 
grace than they. 

THE second book of the prophet " Esdras, the 
son of Saraias, the son of Azarias, the son of 
Helchias, the son of j| Sadamias, the son of Sadoc, 
the son of Achitob, 

2 The son of Achias, the son of Phinees, the son 
of Heli, the son of Amarias, the son of Aziei, the son 
of Marimoth, the son of Arna, the son of Ozias, the 
son of Borith, the son of Abisei, the son of Phinees, 
the son of Eleazai", 

3 The son of '' Aaron, of the tribe of Levi ; which 
was captive in the land of the Medes, in the reign of 
•^ Artaxerxes king of the Persians. 

4 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 

5 Go thy way, and ^ shew my people their sinful 
deeds, and their children their wickedness which they 
have done against me ; ® that they may tell their chil- 
dren's children : 

6 Because the sins of their fathers are increased in 
them : for they have forgotten me, and have offered 
unto strange gods. 

7 Am not I even he that brought them out of the 
land of Egypt, from the house of bondage f but they 
have provoked me unto wrath, and despised my 
counsels. 

8 Pull thou off then the hair of thy head, and cast 
all evil upon them, ^ for they have not been obedient 
unto my law, but it is a rebellious people. } 



9 s How long shall I forbear them unto whom I 
have done so much good ? 

10 Many kings have I destroyed for their sakes j 
'^ Pharaoh with his servants, and all his power have I 
smitten down. 

11 'All the nations have I destroyed before them, 
and in the east I have scattered the people of two pro- 
vinces, even of ^ Tyrus and Sidon, and have slain all 
their enemies. 

12 Speak thou therefore unto them, saying. Thus 
saith the Lord, 

13 ^ I led you through the sea, and in the begin- 
ning gave you a large and safe || passage : " I gave 
3-0U Moses for a leader, and Aaron for a priest. 

14 n I gave you light in a pillar of fire, and great 
wonders have I done among you ; yet have ye for- 
gotten me, saith the Lord. 

15 Thus saith the Almighty Lord, The ° quails 
were as a token to you ; I gave you tents for your 
safeguard : nevertheless ye murmured there, 

16 And triumphed not in my name for the destruc- 
tion of your enemies, but ever to this day do ye yet 
P murmur. 

17 Where are the benefits that I have done for 
you .'' When ye were hungry and thirsty in the wil- 
derness, 1 did )'e not cry unto me, 

18 Saying, Why hast thou brought us into this 
wilderness to kill us ? ""it had been better for us to have 
served the Egyptians, than to die in this wilderness. 

19 Then had I pity upon your mournings, and 
gave vou manna to eat ; ^ so ye did eat angels' bread.

them from among thy number. 

27 Be not weary : for when the day of trouble and 
heaviness conieth, others shall weep and be sorrowful, 
^ but thou shah be merry, and have abundance. 

28 The heathen shall envy tiiee, but they shall be 
able to do nothing against thee, saith the Lord. 

29 My hands shall cover thee, so that thy children 
shall not see hell. 

30 ' Be joyful, O thou mother, with thy children; 
for I will deliver thee, saith the Lord. 

31 Remember thy children that sleep, " for I shall 
bring them out of the sides of the earth, and shew 
mercy unto them : for I am merciful, saith the Lord 
Almight3'. , 

32 Embrace thy childrea until I come, and \\ shew } 
mercy unto them : for ^ my wells run over, and my 
grace shall not fail. 

33 I Esdras received a charge of the Lord upon 
the mount Oreb, that I should go unto Israel ; but 
when 1 came unto them, they set me at naught, and 
despised the commandment of the Lord. 

34 .And therefore I say unto you, ^ O ye heathen, 
that hear and understand. Look for your Shepherd, 
he shall give you everlasting rest ; for he is nigh at 
hand, that shall come i>3 ^ the end of the world. 

35 Be ready to the rew ard of the kingdom, for the 
'^ everlasting light shall shine upon you for evermore. 

36 Flee the shadow of this world, receive the joy- 
fulness of your glory : '' I testify my Saviour openly. 

37 O receive the •= gift that is given you, and be 
glad, giving thanks unto him that hath called you to 
the heavenly kingdom. 

38 Arise up and stand, behold the number of those 
that be sealed \\ in the feast of the Lord ; 

39 Which are departed from the sliadow of the world, 
and have received*^ glorious garments of the Lord. 

40 Take thy number, O Sion, and f shut up those 
of thine that are clothed in " white, which have fulfd-

46 Then said I unto the angel, What young per- 
son is it that crowneth them, and giveth them palms 
in their hands ? 

47 So he answered and said unto me, ^ It is the 
Son of God, whom they have confessed in the world. 
Then began I greatly to commend them that stood so 
stiffly for the name of the Lord. 

48 Then the ' angel said unto me. Go thy way, l verse 44, 
^ and tell my people what manner of things, and how 

will require ^ great wonders of the Lord thy God thou hast seen, 
' CHAPTER III. 

Esdras is trouLled, 13 and acknowledgetli the sins of the people : 
28 yet complaineth that the heatlicn were lords over them, being 
more wicked than they. 

N the thirtieth year after ^ the ruin of the city, 1 was 
in Babylon, and lay troubled upon my bed, and 
my thoughts came up over my heart : 

2 For I saw the ^ desolation of Sion, and the 
wealth of them that dwelt at Babylon. 

3 And *= my spirit was sore moved, so that I began c Job 32, 8, 
to speak words full of fear to the Most High, and said, ^^• 

4 O Lord, who bearest rule, thou spakest at the 
beginning, when thou didst plant the earth (and that 
thyself alone) and commandedst the people, 

5 •* And gavest a body unto Adam without soul, d Gen. 2, 7 
which was the workmanship of thine hands, and didst 
breathe into him the breath of life, ^ and he was made e l Cor. 15, 
living before thee. '^^' 

6 And "^thou leddest him into paradise, which thy f Gen. 2,8. 
right hand had planted, before ever the earth came 
forward. 

7 And unto him thou gavest commandment to love 
thy way : which he transgressed, a-nd immediately 
thou s appointedst death in him Imd in his genera- gGenCr 
tions, of whom came nations, tribes, people, and kin- 
dreds, out of number. 

8 ^ And every people walked after their own will, ^,^^"-^> 
and did wonderful things before thee, and despised 
thy commandments. 

9 ' And again in process of time thou broughtest i Gen. 7,10. 
the flood upon those that dwelt in the world, '' and de- 
stroyedst them. 

10 And it came to pass in every of them, that as 
death was to Adam, so was the flood to these.

niovedsl the whole world, and madest the 
depths to tremble, and troubledst the men of that age, 

19 And thy glory went through four gates, of" fire, 
and of"' earthquake, and of wind, and of cold ; that 
thou mightest give the law unto the seed of Jacob, 
[I and diligence unto the generation of Israel. 

20 And yet tookest thou not away from them a 
wicked heart, that thy law might bring forth fruit in 
them. 

21 For the first Adam bearing a wicked heart, 
^ transgressed, and was overcome ; ^' and so be all they 
that are born of him. 

22 Thus infirmity was made permanent; and the 
law (also) in the heart of the people with the malignity 
of the root ; so that the good departed away, and the 
evil abode still. 

23 So tiie times passed away, and the years were 
brought to an end : ^ then didst thou raise tiiee up a 
servant, called David : 

24 * Whom thou commandedst to build a city unto 
thy name, and to ofl'er incense and oblations unto thee 
therein. 

25 When tiiis was done many years, then they that 
inhabited the city forsook thee, 

26 And in all things did even as ** Adam and all 
his generations had done : for they also had a wicked 
heart : 

27 ^ And so thou gavest thy city over into tlie hands 
of thine enemies. 

28 Are their deeds then any better that inliabit 
Babylon, that they should tiicrefore have the dominion 
over Sion .'' 

29 For when I came thidier, and had seen impieties 
without nuuiber, then my soul saw many evil-doers in 
this thirtieth year, so that my heart failed me. 

30 '^ F.)r I have seen Imw thou suflerest them sin- 
ning, and hast spared wicked doers : "^ and hast de- 
stroyed th}' people, and hast preserved thine enemies, 
and hast not signified it. 

31 il I do not remember how this way may be left : 
Are they then of Babylon better than they of Sion ? 

32 ^ Or is Uiere any other people that knowetli thee 
besides Israel ^ or what generation hath so believed 
thy covenants as Jacob .'' 

33 And yet their reward appeareth not, ^ and their 
labour hatli no fruit : for I iiave gone here and there 
throiigli the heathen, and I see that they || flow in 
wealth, and think not upon thy commandMients. 

34 Weigh tliou tlierefore our wickedness now in the 
balance, and theirs also tiiat dwell in the world; and 
so shall thy name no where be found but in Israel. 

35 Or when was it tiiat they '' which dwell upon the 
earth have not sinned in tliy sight.'' or what people 
hath so kept tliy counnandments .'' 

36 Thou sir.ilt find that ' Israel by name hath kept 
thy precepts; but not tlie heathen. 

CHAPTER IV. 

1 The angel declareth the ignorance of Esdras in God's judgments, 
13 and adviseth him not to meddle with tilings above his reach. 
23 Nevertheless Esdras asketh divers questions, and receiveth an- 
swers to them. 

AND the " angel that was sent unto me, whose 
name was Uriel, gave me an answer, 

2 And said, Thy heart lialli gone too far in this 
world, and '' tliinkest thou to comprehend the way of 
the Most High.? 

3 Then said I, Yea, mv lord And he answered

me, and said, I am sent to shew thee three ways, and 
to set forth three similitudes before thee : 

4 Whereof if thou canst declare me one, ■= I will cPs. 32,8 
shew thee also the way that thou desirest to see, and 

I shall shew thee from whence the wicked heart t'ometh 

5 And I said, Tell on, my lord. Then said he un- 
to me. Go thy way, weigh me the weight of the fire, 
or measure me the blast of the wind, or call me again 
the da}^ that is past. 

6 Then answered I and said, ** What man is able to j,^^*^!'^;, 
do that, that thou shouldest ask such things of me i* ' 

7 And he said unto me, If I should ask thee how ^^^^.10' 
great dwellings are in the ^ midst of the sea, or how 
many springs are in the beginning of the deep, or how 
many springs are above the firmament, or which are 

the outgoings of paradise : 

8 Peradventure thou wouldesl say unto me, '^I never f See Rom. 
went down into the deep, nor as yei into hell, neither ^'^'^''^^ 
did I ever climb up into heaven. 

9 Nevertheless now have I asked thee but only of 
the fire and wind, and of the day wherethrough thou 
hast passed, and of things from which thou canst not 

be separated, ^ and yet canst thou give me no answer f Ps.73, 
of tliem. Pro. 30, 2, 

10 He said moreover unto me, Thine own things, 
and such as are grown up with thee, canst thou not 
know ; 

11 How should thy vessel then be able to compre- 
hend the way of the '' Highest, and the world being h Luke 1, 
now outwardly corrupted, to understand the || corrup- 
tion tliat is evident in my sight .'' 

12 Then said I unto him, It were better that we 
were not at all, than that we should live still in wick- 
edness, and to suflcr, ' and not to know wherefore. 

13 He answered me, and said, I went into a forest ' 

into a plain, ''and the trees took counsel, k Judges 9 

14 And said, Come, let us go and make war against 2 Chr.25 
the sea, that it may depart away before us, and that 18. 

we may make us more woods. 

15 The floods of the sea also in like manner took 
counsel, and said. Come, let us go up and subdue the 
woods of the plain, that there also we may make us 
another country. 

16 The thought of the wood was in 'vain, for the I See Jer. 
fire came and consumed it. ' ' 

17 The thought of the floods of the sea came like- 
wise to nought,'" for the sand stood up and stopped them, m Job 38, 

18 If thou wert judge now betwixt these two, whom " 
wouldest thou begin to justify .'' or whom wouldest 
thou condemn .'' 

19 I answered and said. Verily it is a foolish 
thought that they both have devised, for || the ground 
is given unto the wood, and the sea also hath his place 
to bear his || floods. 

20 Then answered he me, and said, Thou hast 
given a riglit judgment, " but why judgest thou not ",'^2r'23' 
thyself also .f" 

21 For like as || the ground is given unto the wood, 
and the sea to his floods : even so they that dwell up- 
on the earth may understand nothing but that which ^^^^ 

is upon the earth ; " and he that dwelleth above the 9. ^"' ' 
heavens may only understand the things diat are above -^o!;" 3. 31.

hasteth fast to pass awaj^, 

27 And " cannot comprehend the things that are 
promised to the righteous in time to come : ^ for this 
world is full of unrighteousness and infirmities. 

28 But as concerning the things whereof thou ask- 
est me, I will tell thee ; for the evil is sown, but the 
destruction thereof is not yet come. 

29 If therefore that which is sown be not turned 
upside down, and if the place where the evil is sown pass 
not away, then cannot it come that is sown with good. 

30 ^For the grain of evil seed hath been sown in 
the heart of Adam from the beginning, and how much 
ungodliness hath it brought up unto this time .'' and 
how much shall it yet bring forth until the || time of 
threshing come i 

31 Ponder now by thyself, how great fruit of wick- 
edness ^ the grain of evil seed hath brought forth. 

32 And when the ears shall be cut down, which are 
without number, how great a floor shall they fill .'* 

33 Then I answered and said. How, and when 
shall these things come to pass .'' wherefore are our 
years ^ iew and evil ^ 

34 And he answered me, saying, Do not thou hasten 
above the Most ^ High : for thy haste is in vain to 
be above him, for thou hast much exceeded. 

35 Did not the souls also of the righteous ask ques- 
tion of these things in their chambers, saying, How 
long shall I hope on this fashion ^ when cometh the 
fruit of the floor of our reward ^ 

36 And unto these things || Uriel the archangel 
gave them answer, and said. Even when the number 
of seeds is filled in you : for he hath weighed the 
world in the balance. 

37 By measure hath he measured *^ the times, and 
by number hath he numbered the times ; and he doth 
not move nor stir them, until the said measure be ful- 
filled. 

38 Then answered I and said, O Lord that bear- 
est rule, even we all are full of impiety. 

39 '' And for our sakes peradventure it is that the 
floors of the righteous are not filled, because of the sins 
of them that dwell upon the earth. 

40 So he answered me, and said. Go thy way to a 
woman with child, and ask of her when she hath ful- 
filled her nine months, " if her womb may keep the 
birth any longer within her. 

41 Then said I, No, Lord, that can she not. And 
he said unto me. In the grave the chambers of souls 
are like the womb of a woman : 

42 For like as a woman that travaileth maketh 



haste to escape the necessity of the travail : "^even so 
do these places haste to deliver those things that are 
committed unto them.

19 Then said I unto him, Go thy ways from me, 
and come not nigii me. And he heard what I said, 
and went from me. 

20 And so I fasted seven days, mourning and 
weeping, like as " Uriel the angel commanded me. 

21 And after seven days so it was, that the thoughts 
of my heart were very grievous unto me again, 

22 And my soul recovered the spirit of understand- 
ing, and I began to talk with the Most High again, 

23 And said, O Lord that bearest rule, of every 
wood of ° the earth, and of all the trees thereof, thou 
hast chosen thee ° one only vine : 

24 And of all lands of the whole world thou hast 
chosen thee one pit : and of all the flowers thereof 
one lily : 

25 And of all the depths of the sea thou hast filled 
thee one river : and of ail builded cities thou hast hal- 
lowed ^ Sion unto thyself: 

2G And of all the fowls that are created thou hast 
named thee one dove : and of all the cattle that are 
made thou hast provided thee one sheep : 



labour to comprehend the way of the Most High, and 
to seek out part of his judgment. 

35 And he said unto me, * Thou canst not. And I * Job "i' 
•said. Wherefore, Lord.'' whereunto was I born then.'' 

or why was not my mother's womb then my grave, 
that I might not have seen the travail of Jacob, and 
the wearisome toil of the stock of Israel.'' 

36 And he said unto me, " Number me the things u See Job 
that are not yet come, gather me together the drops 
tliat are scattered abroad, make me the flowers green 
again that are withered, 

37 Open me the places that are closed, and bring 
me forth the winds that in them are shut up, shew me 
the image of a voice : and then I will declare to thee 
the thing that thou labourest to know. 

3S And I said, ^ O Lord that bearest rule, who averse 23 
may know these things, ^' but he that hath not his 
dwelling with men ^ 

39 As for me, I am ^ unwise: how may I then zPro.30,2. 
speak of these tilings whereof thou askest me.'' 

40 Then said he unto me. Like as thou canst do 
none of these things that I have spoken of, even so 

^ canst thou not find out my judgment, or in the end aPs. 77,19 
the love that I have promised unto my people. 

41 And I said, Behold, O Lord, yet art thou 

''nigh unto them that be reserved till the end: and bPs.34,18. 
\\ hat shall they do that have been before me, or we 
that be now, or they that shall come after us .'' 

42 And he said unto me, I will liken my judgment 
unto a ring: like as there is no slackness of the last, 
even so there is no swiftness of the first. 

43 So I answered and said, "^ Couldest thou not « Ps. 115,3 
make those that have been made, and be now, and Daniel 4j 
that are for to come, at once ; that thou 
shew thy judgment the sooner i 

44 Then answered he me, and said, The creature 
may not haste above the maker ; neither may the 
world hold them at once that shall be created therein. 

45 And I said. As thou hast said unto thy servant, 
that thou which '' ffivest life to all, hast given life at d Acts 17, 
once to the creature that thou hast created, and the 27' 
creature bare it : even so it might now also bear them 
that now be present at once.

or ever the ^ inventions of them that now sin were 
turned, before they were ^ sealed that have gathered 
faith for a treasure : 

6 Then did I consider these things, and they all 
were made through me alone, and through none other: 
'' by me also they shall be ended, and by none other. 

7 Then answered I and said. What shall be the 
parting asunder of the times : or when shall be the 
end of the first, and the beginning of it that followeth ? 

8 And he said unto me, From Abraham unto Isaac, 
when Jacob and Esau were born of him, ' Jacob's 
hand held || first the heel of Esau. 

9 For Esau is the end of the world, and Jacob is 
the beginning of it that followeth. 

10 The hand of man is betwixt the heel and the 
hand : ^ other question, Esdras, ask thou not. 

1 1 IT I answered then and said, ' O Lord that bear- 
est rule, if I have found favour in thy sight, 

12 I beseech thee, shew thy servant the end of thy 
tokens, whereof thou shewedst me part the last night. 

13 So he answered and said unto me. Stand up 
upon thy feet, and hear a mighty sounding voice. 

14 And it shall be as it were a great || motion; 
but the place where thou standest shall not be moved. 

15 And therefore when it speaketh be not afraid:

1 6 And why ? because the speech of these things 
trembleth and is moved : for it knoweth that the end 
of these things must be ° changed. 

17 And it happened that when I had heard it I 
stood Vip upon my feet, and hearkened, and behold, 
there was a voice that spake, and the sjound of it was 
" like the sound of many waters. 

18 And it said. Behold, the days come, that I will

20 And when the world, that shall begin to vanish 
away, shall be || finished, then will 1 shew these to- 
kens-: •■ the books shall be opened before the firma- 
ment, and they shall see all together. 

21 And the children of a year old shall speak with 
their voices, the women with child shall bring forth 
* untimely children of three or four months old, and 
they shall live, and be raised up. 

22 And suddenly shall the sown places appear un- 
sown, the fidl storehouses shall suddenly be found 
empty : 

23 ' And the trumpet shall give a sound, which when 1 1 Cor. 15 
every man heareth, " they shall be suddenly afraid. 

24 At that time shall " friends fight one against an- 
other like enemies, and the earth shall stand in fear with 
those that dwell therein, the springs of the fountains 
shall stand still, and in three hours they shall not run. 

25 Whosoever remaineth from all these that I have 
told thee shall escape, and see my salvation, and the 
end of your world. 

26 And the men that are received shall see it, who 
have not tasted death from their birth : and the heart 
of the inhabitant shall be ^ changed, and turned into 
another meaning. 

27 For evil shall be put out, and deceit shall be 
quenched. 

28 As for faith it shall flourish, ^ corruption shall 
be overcome, and the truth which hath been so long 
without fruit shall be declared. 

29 And when he talked with me, behold, I looked 
by little and little upon him before whom I stood. 

30 And these words said he unto me ; I am come 
to shew thee the " time of the night to come. 

31 If thou wilt pray yet more, and fast seven days 
again, I shall tell thee greater things || by day than I 
have heard. 

32 For thy voice is heard before the Most High : 
for the Mighty hath seen thy righteous dealing, he 
hath seen also thy chastity, which thou hast had ever 
since thy youth. 

33 And therefore hath he sent me ^ to shew thee all ^ ^'^ b ' 
these things, and to say unto thee, " Be of good com- c Isa. 40, l 
fort, and fear not. 

34 And hasten not with the times that are past, to 
think vain things, that thou mayest not hasten from 
the latter times. 

35 And it came to pass after this, that I wept again, 
'' and fasted seven days in like manner, that I might 
fulfil the three weeks which he told me. 

36 And in the eighth night was my heart vexed 
within me again, and I began to speak before the 
Most High. 

37 * For my spirit was greatly set on fire, and my "^ Ps. 39, 3 
soul was in distress. 

38 And I said, O Lord, thou spakest from the be- 
ginning of the creation, even the first day, and saidst 
thus, f Let heaven and earth be made ; and e thy 
word was a perfect work. 

39 And then was the spirit, and darkness and si- 
lence were on every side ; '' the sound of man's voice ^ ^^"- ^> ^ 
was not yet formed. 

40 Then commandedst thou a fair ' light to come i Gen. 1, 3.

43 For as soon as thy word went forth, tlie work 
was made. 

44 For immediately there was ° great and innume- 
rable fruit, and many and diverse pleasures for the 
taste, and flowers of unchangeable colour, and odours 
of wonderful smell : and this was done the third da}'. 

45 ■= Upon the fourth day thou commandedst that 
the sun should shine, and the moon give her light, and 
the stars should be in order : 

46 And gavest then a charge to do p service unto 
man that was to be made. 

47 Upon the fifth day thou saidst unto the seventh 
part, "< where the waters were gathered, that it should 
bring fortii living creatures, fowls and fishes : and so 
it came to pass. 

48 For the dumb water and without life brought 
forth living things "■ at the commandment of God, that 
all people might praise thy wondrous works. 

49 Then didst thou ordain two living creatures, the 
II Bdiemoih, oiic thou callcdst || Euoch, and the other * Leviathan; 
^°^^\}^i 50 And didst separate the one from the other : for 

s Job 41, 1. , , 'ill 1 

the seventli part, namely, where the water was gather- 
ed together, might not hold them both. 

51 Unto Enoch thou gavest one part, which was 
dried up the tlilrd da}-, that he should dwell in the 

tPs. 30, 10. same part, wherein are a ' thousand hills : 

52 " But unto Eicvlathan thou gavest the seventh 
part, namely, the moist ; and hast kept him to be de- 
voured of whom thou wilt, and when. 

53 " Upon the sixth day thou gavest commandment 
unto the earth, that before thee It should bring forth 
beasts, catde, and creeping things ; 

54 And after these, ^ Adam also, whom thou madest 

* lord of all thy creatures : of him come we all, and 
the people also whom thou hast chosen, 

55 All this have I spoken before thee, O Lord, be- 
cause thou madest the world for our sakes. ( 

56 As for the other people which also come of ^ 
Adam, thou hast said that they are nothing, but be } 
like unto spittle : and hast likened the abundance of i 
them unto " a drop that falleth from a vessel. J 

57 And now, O Lord, behold, these heathen, which } 
have ever been reputed as nothing, have bogun to be i 
lords over us, and to devour us. i 

58 But we thy people, ^ whom thou hast called thy i 
first-born, thy only-begotten, and thy fervent lover, \

18 Nevertheless, •" the righteous shall suffer strait mPs. 34,

20 For there be many that perish in this life, because 
they despise the laAv of God that is set before them.

44 Intemperance is at an end, infidelity is cut off, } 
righteousness is grown, and truth is sprung up. i 

45 '' Then shall no man be able to save him that \ 
is destroyed, nor to oppress him that hath gotten the ) 
victory. t 

46 I answered then and said, ' This is my first and \ 
last saying, that it had been better not to have given ( 
the earth unto Adam : or else, when it was given him, ) 
to have restrained him from sinning. i 

47 For what profit is it for men now in this pre- > 
sent time to live in heaviness, and after death to look i 
for punishment .'' J 

48 O thou Adam, what hast thou done .'' for though ^ 
it was "' thou that sinned, thou art not fallen alo.e, i 
but we all that come of thee. \ 

49 " For what profit is it unto us, if there be pro- ( 



the 
world would not continue widi them that inherit therein. 

68 " And he pardonedi ; for if he did not so of his 
goodness, that they which have committed iniquities 
might be eased of them, the ten thousandth part of 
men should not remain living. 

69 And being judge, "^ if he should not forgive 
them that are || cured with his word, and put out the 
multitude of || contentions, 

70 There should be very few left peradventure in 
an innumerable multitude.

4 So answered I and said, Swallow then do%vn, O i

5 For thou hast agreed to giA e ear, and art wil- ' 
ling to prophesy : for thou hast no longer space than > 
'^ only to live. \ 

6 O Lord, if thou suffer not thy servant, that we ^ 
may pray before thee, and || thou give us seed unto t 
our heart, and culture to our understanding, that \ 
there may come fruit of it ; how shall each man live ( 
that is corrupt, who beareth the place of a man ^ > 

7 For thou art ^ alone, ^ and we all one workman- ) 
ship of thine hands, like as thou hast said. \ 

8 ^ For II when the body is fashioned now in the i 
mother's womb, and thou givest it members, thy crea- ^ 
turc is preserved in fire and water, and nine months i 
doth thy workmanship endure thy creature which > 
is created in her, \ 

9 But that which keepeth and is kept shall both be ( 
preserved : and when the time cometli, the womb pre- > 

II, served deliverelh up the things that '' grew in it. 

10 For thou hast commanded out of the parts of 
the body, that is to say, out of ilie breasts, milk to be 
given, which is the fruit of the breasts. 

1 1 That the thing which is fashioned may be 
nourished for a time, till thou disposes! it to thy

and nurturedst it in thy law.

13 And thou shalt mortify it as tiiy creature,

k. lob 10,8. so great '' labour was fashioned, it is an easy thing to t 
Ts. 139, 14. ]jg ordained by thy commandment, that the thing i 

which was made might be preserved. X 

15 Now therefore, Lord, I will speak; touching (

for Jacob, for whose sake I am troubled ; (

myself and for them : for I see the falls of us lliat i 
dwell in the land. ' 

IS But I have heard the swiftness of the judge ^ 
which is to come. 

• 19 Therefore hear my voice, and understand my 
words, and I shall speak before thee. This is the ) 
beginning of the words of" Esdras, before he was ta- \ 
ken up : and I said, 

20 O Lord, thou that dwellest in everlastingness 
which beholdest from above things in the heaven and 
in the air ; 

21 Whose throne is inestimable ; Avhose glory may J 
"^m^w.' "^^ ^^ comprehended ; ^ before whom the hosts of \ 
Daniel 7, angels Stand with trembhng. 



25 For while I live I will speak, 
have understanding I will answer. 

26 O ' look not upon the sins of thy people 
on them which serve thee in truth. 

27 Regard not the wicked inventions of the hea- 
then, but the desire of those that keep thy testimonies 
in afflictions. 

23 Think not upon those that have walked feign- 
edly before thee : but ' remember them, which accord- 
ing to thy will have known thy fear. 

29 Let it not be thy will to destroy them which 
have lived like beasts ; but to look upon them that 
have clearly taught thy law. 

30 Take thou no indignation at them which are 
deemed " worse than beasts ; but love them that al- 
ways put their trust in thy righteousness and glory. 

31 For we and our fathers i| do languish of such 
diseases : but because of us sinners thou shalt be call- 
ed merciful. 

32 For if thou || hast a desire to have mercy upon 
us, thou shalt be called merciful, to us namely, ^ that 
have no works of righteousness. 

33 For the just, which have many good works 
laid up w ith thee, shall out of their o\^ n deeds receive 
reward. 

34 For what is man, that thou shouldest take ■" dis- 
'( pleasure at him ? or what is a corruptible generation, 

that thou shouldest be so bitter towards it .^ 

35 " For in truth there is no man among them that »' KingsS 
be born, but he hath dealt wickedly ; and among the 2 Chron. 6 
faithful there is none which hath not done amiss. ^6. 

36 For in this, O Lord, thy '' righteousness 
thy goodness s^iall be declared, if thou be merciful unto 
them which have not the || confidence of good works. 

37 Then answered he me, and said. Some things 
hast thou spoken aright, and according unto thy 
words it shall be. 

33 For indeed I will not think on the disposition 
of them which have sinned "^before death, before judg- 
ment, before destruction :

47 For thou "* comest far short that thou should- 
€St be able to love my creature more than I : but I 
have oft-times drawn nigh unto thee, and unto it, but 
never to '.he unrighteous. 

48 In this also thou art marvellous before the Most 
High : 

49 In that thou hast " humbled thyself, as it be- 
cometh thee, and hast not judged thyself worthy to be 
much glorified among the righteous. 

50 For many great miseries shall be done to them 
that in the ° latter time shall dwell in the world, be- 
cause they have walked I'n great pride. 

51 But understand thou for thyself, and seek out 
the glory for such as be like thee. 

52 For unto you is paradise p opened, the tree of 
life is planted, the time to coine is prepared, plenteous- 
ness is made ready, a city is builded, and rest is al- 
lowed, yea, perfect goodness and wisdom. 

53 The root of evil is sealed up from you, weak- 
ness and the moth is hid from you, and corruption is 
fled into || hell to be forgotten ; 

54 Sorrows are passed, and in the end is shewed 
the treasure of ^ immortalit}^ 

55 And therefore ask thou no more "■ questions con- 
ceraing the multitude of them that perish. 

56 For when they had taken liberty, they despised 
the Most High, thought scorn of his law, and forsook 
his ways. 

57 Moreover they have trodden down his righteous, 

58 And ^ said in their heart, that there is no God ; 
yea, and that knowing they must die. 

59 For as the things aforesaid shall receive you, so 
thirst and pain are prepared for them : for it was not 
his will ' that men should come to nought 

60 But they which be created have 
name of him that made them, and were 
unto hizii which prepared life for them. 

61 And therefore is my judgment " now at hand. 

62 These things have I not shewed unto all men, 
but unto thee, and a few like thee. Then answered I 
and said, 

63 Behold, O Lord, now hast thou shewed me the 
multitude of the wonders, which thou wilt begin to do 
in the last times : ^ but at what time, thou hast not 
shewed me. 

CHAPTER IX. 

7 Who shall be saved, and who not. 19 All the world is now cor- 
rupted ; 22 yet God doth save a few. 33 Ht complaineth that 
those perish which keep God's law; 38 and seeth a woman la- 
menting in a field. 

HE answered me then, and said. Measure thou 
the time diligently in itself; and when thou < 
^ seest part of the signs past, which I have told thee ^ 
before, i 

2 Then shalt thou understand, that it is the very \ 
same time, wljcrein the Highest will begin to visit the < 
world which he made. > 

3 Therefore when there shall be seen '' earthquakes j 
and uproars of the people in the world : f 

4 Then shalt thou well understand, that the Most i 
High spake of those things *= from the days that were J 
before thee, even from the beginning.

able to escape by his works, and by faith, whereby 
ye have believed, 

8 Shall be " preserved from the said perils, and shall "= ' P<^'- '- 
see my salvation in my land, and within my borders : 
for I have sanctified them for me from the beginning. 

9 Then || shall they be in pitiful case, which now 
have abused my ways : and they that have cast them 
away despitefully shall dwell '^in torments. 

10 For such as in their life have received benefits, 
and have not known me ; 

1 1 And they that have loathed my law, while they 
had 3'et liberty, and when as jet place of repentance 
was open unto them, understood not, but despised it ; 

12 s The same must know it after death by pain. 

13 And therefore be thou not curious how the un- 
godly shall be punished, and when : ^ but inquire 
how the righteous shall be saved, whose the world is, 
and for whom the world is created. 

14 Then answered I, and said, 

15 I have said before, and now do speak, and will 
speak it also hereafter, ' that there be many more of \^^^[- ^' 
them which perish, than of them which shall be saved : 

16 Like as a wave is greater than a drop. 

17 And he answered me, saying, Like as the field 
is, so is also the seed ; as the flowers be, such are the 
colours also ; such as the workman is, such also is the 
work ; and as the husbandman is himself, so is his 
husbandry also : for it was the time of the world. 

18 '' II And now when I prepared the world which 
was not yet made, even for them to dwell in that now 
live, no man spake against me. 

19 For then every one obeyed: || but now the 
manners of them which are created in this world that come,-u-iien i 
is made are corrupted by a perpetual seed, and by a paring the 
law which is unsearchable rid themselves. l""^'''' ^^ 

20 So I considered the world, and behold, there the woM^" 
was peril because of the devices that were come into it. '""""at/e, 

',_ , ,. , ,, , ooth now 

21 And I saw, and spared it greatly, and have kept and then tht 
me a || grape of the cluster, and a plant of a great people, """^'"^'s '/ 

22 Let the multitude perish then, which was born '^aZdedwere 
in vain ; and let my || grape be kept, and my plant ; ^"^^^^'^^^/^ 
for with great labour have I made it perfect. 

23 Nevertheless, if thou wilt cease yet seven daj's 
more (but thou shalt not fast in them, 

24 But go into a field of flowers, where no house 
is builded, and eat only the flowers of the field; taste K.'ri^W. 
no flesh, drink no wine, but eat flowers only ;) 

25 And pray unto the ' 
will 1 come and talk with thee. 

26 So I went my way into the field which is called 
Ardath, ™ like as he commanded me; and there I sat m verse 24^ 
among the flowers, and did eat of the herbs of the 

field, and the meat of the same satisfied me. 

27 After seven days I sat upon the grass, and my 
heart was vexed within me, " like as befin-c : 

28 And I opened my mouth, and began to talk be- 
fore the Most High, and said, 

29 O Lord, thou that shewest thyself unto us, thou 

wast ° shewed unto our fathers in the wilderness, in a ° ^^- '^'^' 
place where no man || treadeth, in a barren place, D,rat'.4, 12.

31 For behold, I sow my law in 3011, and it 
shall bring fruit in you, and ye shall be honoured 
m It for ever. 

32 But our fathers, which received the law, kept 
it not, and observed not thy ordinances : and though 
the fruit of thy law did not perish, neither could it, 
for it was thine ; 

33 Yet they that received it '' perished, because 
they kept not the thing that was sown in them. 

34 And lo, it is a custom, when the ground hath 
received seed, or the sea a ship, or an}' vessel meat or 
drink, that, that being perished wherein it was sown 
or cast into, 

35 Tliat thing also which was sown, or cast there- 
in, or received, dodi perish, and remaineth not with 
us : but with us it hath not happened so. 

36 For we that have received the law ■" perish by 
sin, and our heart also which receiveth it. 

37 Notwitiistanding, ' the law perisheth not, but 
remaineth in his force. 

33 And wiien I spake these things ' in my heart, I 
looked back with mine e^es, and upon the right side 
I saw a " woman, and behold, she mourned and wept 
with a loud \ oice, and was much grieved in heart, and 
her clothes were rent, and she had ashes upon her head. 

39 Then let I my thoughts go that I was in, and 
turned me unto her, 

4r And said unto her, ^ Wiierefore wcepest thou .'' 
why art tliou so grieved in thy mind ? 

41 And she said unto mc. Sir, let me alone, tiiat I 
may bewail myself, and add unto my sorrow, for I 
am sore ve.xed in my mind, and brought very low. 

42 And I said unto her, What aileth thee .'' tell me. 

43 She said unto me, I thy servant have been bar- 
ren, and had no child, though I had an husband thir- 
ty years. 

44 And tliose thirty years I did nothing else '' day 
and night, and every hour, but make my pra3er to 
the Highest. 

45 After thirty years God heard me, thine hand- 
maid, looked upon my misery, considered my trouble, 
^ and gave me c jon : and I was very " glad of him, 
so was my husband also, and all my neighbours : and 
we gave great honour unto the Almighty. 

46 And I nourished him with great travail. 

47 So when lie grew up, and came to the time that 
he should have a wife, ^ 1 made a feast. 

CHAPTER X. 

6 He comfortelh the woman in the field. 27 She vanislieth away, 
and a city a|)pparcth in her place. 40 The angel declareth these 
visions in the field. 

AND it so came to pass, that when my son was 
entered into his wedding "^ chamber, he fell down, 
and died. 

2 Then we all overthrew the lights, and all my 
II neighbours rose up to comfort me : so I took my 
rest unto the second day at night. 

3 And it came to pass, when they had all left off 
to comfort me, to tiie end I might be quiet ; then rose 
I up by night, and fled, and came hither into this field, 
as thou seest. 

4 And I do now purpose not to return into the 
city, but here to stay, '^ and neitiier to eat nor drink, 
but continnai'y to mourn and to fast until 1 die. 

5 Then left 1 the || meditations wherein 1 was. and 
spake to her in anger, saying, 



6 Thou foolish woman aroove all other, seest thou 
not our mourning, and what happeneth unto us.'' 

7 How that Sion "^ our mother is full of all heavi- 
ness, and much humbled, mourning very si^re f 

8 And now, seeing we all mourn and are ** sad, for 
we are all in heaviness, art thou grieved for one son .'' 

9 For ask the eartii, and slic shall tell thee, that it 
is she which ougiit to mourn for the fall of so many 
that grow upon her. 

10 For ^ out of her came all at the first, and out of 
her shall all others come, and behold, they walk al- 
most all into destruction, and a multitude of them is 
utterh' II rooted out. 

11 WIio then should make more mourning than 
she tliat hath lost so great a multitude; and not thou, 
which art sorry but for one .'' 

12 But if thou safest un,to me. My lamentation is 
not like the earth's, because I have lost the fruit of 
my womb, which ^ I brought forth with pains, and 
bare with sorrows ; 

13 II But the earth not so : for the multitude present 
in it, according to the course of the earth, is gone, as 
it came : 

14 Tiien say I unto thee. Like as thou hast brought 
forth with labour ; even so the earth also hath given 
iter fruit, namely, man, ever since the beginning unto 
him tliat made her. 

15 Now therefore keep th}- sorrow to th3self, and 
bear with a good courage that which hath befallen thee. 

16 For if thou shah ^ ackno\\ ledge the determina- 
tion of God to be just, thou shah both receive thy son 
in time, and shalt be commended among women. 

17 Go thy way then into the cit}' to thine husband, 

18 And she said unto me, Tiiat will I not do: I 
will not go into the city, '' but here will I die. 

1 9 So I proceeded to speak furtiier unto her, and said, 

20 Do not so, but be counselled by me : for how 
many are the adversities of Sion.'' be comforted in 
regard of the sorrow of Jerusalem. 

21 For thou seest that ' our sanctuary is laid waste, 
our altar broken down, our temple destroyed ; 

22 Our psaltery is laid on the ground, our song is 
put to silence, our rejoicing is at an end, tlie light of our 
candlestick is put out, the ark of our covenant is 
spoiled, our holy things are defiled, and the name that 
is called upon us is almost profaned : our children 
are put to shame, our priests are burnt, our Lcvites 
are gone into captivity, our virgins are defiled, and 
our wives ravished ; our righteous men carried away, 
our little ones destroyed, our young men are brought 
in bondage, and our strong men are become weak ; 

23 And, which is the greatest of all, the seal of 
Sion hath now lost her '' honour ; for she is delivered 
into the hands of them that hate us. 

24 And therefore shake off thy great heaviness, 
and put away the multitude of sorrows, that the 
Mighty may be merciful unto thee again, and the 
Highest shall give thee rest and ease from thy labour. 

25 And it came to pass, while I was talking with 
her, behold, ' her face upon a sudden sinned exceed- 
ingly, and her countenance glistered, so that 1 was 
afraid of her, and mused what it might be. 

26 And behold, suddenly she made a great try, 
very fearful : so that the "" earth shook at the noise of 
the woman. 

27 And I looked, and behold, the woman appeared

I ch. 11,23. 22 And whereas thou sawest ' three heads resting,

they shall have the dominion of the earth, 

24 And of those that dwell therein, with much op-

25 For these are they that shall accomplish his

26 And whereas thou sawest that the great head

46 Then dwelt they there until the latter time; and 
now when they shall begin to come, 

47 The Highest shall ^ stay the springs of the eRev. 16

sawest thou the multitude with peace.

they that are found within my borders.

me this : Wlierefore have I seen the man coming up

EHOLD

mouth, saith the Lord 

2 And cause them to be written in paper : for they 
are faithful and true. 

3 "^ Fear not the imaginations against thee ; let 
not the incredulity of them trouble thee, that speak 
against thee. 

4 For all the unfaithful shall die "= in their unfaith- 
fulness. 

5 Behold, saith the Lord, I will bring "^ plagues upon 
the world ; the sword, famine, death, and destruction. 

6 For wickedness hath exceedingly polluted the 
whole eartl), and their hurtful works are fulfilled. 

7 Therefore saith the Lord, 
8^1 will hold my tongue no more as touching their 

wickedness, which they profanely commit, neither 
will I suffer them in those things in which the}' wick- 
edly exercise themselves : behold, the ^ innocent and 
righteous blood crieth unto me, and the souls of the 
just complain continually. 

9 And therefore, saith the Lord, I will surely 
avenge them, and receive unto me all the innocent 
blood from among them. 

10 Behold, my people is ^led as a flock to the 
Acts 8, 32. slaughter : I will not sufler them now to dwell in the 

land of Egypt : 

11 But I will bring them with a mighty hand and 
a stretched-out arm, and '' smite Egypt with plagues, 
as before, and will destroy all the land thereof. 

12 Egypt shall mourn, and the foundation of it 
shall be smitten with the plague and punishment that 
God shall bring upon it. 

13 They that till the ground shall mourn: for 
their seeds shall fail through the blasting and hail, 
and with a fearful constellation. 

14 ' Wo to the world, and them that dwell therein! 

15 For the sword and their destruction draweth 
nigh, '' and one people shall stand up to fight against 
another, and swords in their hands. 

16 For there shall be sedition among men, and in- 
vading one another; they shall not regard their kings 
nor princes, and the course of their actions shall stand 
in their power. 

17 A man shall desire to go into a city, ' and shall 
not be able. 

18 For because of their pride the cities shall be 
troubled, the houses shall be destroyed, and men shall 
be afraid. 

19 ™ A man shall have no pity upon his neighbour, 
but shall destroy their houses with the sword, and 
spoil their goods, because of the lack of bread, and 
for great tribulation. 

20 Behold, saith God, I will call together all the 
kings of the earth to reverence me, " which are from 
the rising of the sun, from the south, from the east, 
and Libanus ; to turn themselves one against an-

all they which hear them may fear and tremble. ' 

30 Also the Carmanians raging in wrath shall go 
forth as the wild boars of the wood, and with great 
power shall they come, and join battle with them, and 
shall waste a portion of the land of the Assyrians. 

31 And then shall the "dragons have the upper averse 29. 
hand, remembering their nature ; and if they shall 
turn themselves, conspiring together in great power 
to persecute them,

enemy besiege them, and consume some of them, and 
in their host shall be fear and dread, * and strife

35 Hear now these things, and understand them,

36 Behold the word of the Lord, receive it : be-

II verse 8. 37 Behold, the " plagues draw nigh, and are not slack. 

38 As A\ hen a woman witli child in the ninth month 
bringelh forth her son, within two or three hours of t 
her birth great pains compass her womb, which pains, t 
when the child cometh forth, they slack not a moment: j 

39 Even so shall not the plagues be slack to come ) 
x^vcrsesis, upon the earth, and the world shall mourn, * and sor- 
rows shall come upon it on every side. 

40 O my people, hear my w ord : make you ready 
to the battle, and in those evils be even ^ as pilgrims 
upon the earth. 

41 He that selleth, let him be as he that fleeth 
away : and he that buyeth, as one that will lose : 

42 He that occupielh merchandise, as he that hath 
no profit by it : and he that buildeth, as he that shall 
not dwell therein : 

43 He that soweth, as if he should not reap : so 
also he that planteth the vineyard, as he that shall 
not gather the grapes : 

44 ^ They that marry, as they that shall get no 
children : and they that marry not, as the widowers. 

45 And therefore they that labour, labour in vain : 

46 " For strangers shall reap their fruits, and spoil 
their goods, overthrow their houses, ^ and take their 
children captives, for in captivity and famine shall 
they get children. 

47 And they that occupy their merchandise with 
robbery, the more they deck their cities, their houses, 
their possessions, and their own persons : 

48 The more will I be angry with them for their 
sin, saith the Lord. 

49 Like as a whore envieth a right honest and vir- 
tuous woman : 

50 So shall righteousness hate iniquity, when she 
deckcth herself, and shall accuse her to her face, 
when he cometh that shall defend him that diligently 
" searclieth out every sin upon earth. 

51 And therefore be ye not like thereunto, nor to 
the works thereof. 

52 For yet a little, and iniquity shall be taken away 
out oftheearth,and righteousness shall reign amongyou. 

53 Let not the sinner say '' that he hath not sinned : 
for God shall burn coalsof fire upon his head, which saith 
before the Lord God and his glory, I have not sinned.

54 Behold, the Lord knoweth all the works of men, 
" their imaginations^ their thoughts, and their hearts : e Luke 16, 

55 Which spake but the word. Let the earth be ^^" 
made ; ' and it was made : Let the heaven be made ; f Gen. 1, 1 
and it was created. 

56 In his word were the stars made, and he know- 
eth the s number of them. g Ps. 14"?, 

57 He searcheth the deep, and the treasures thereof; *' 
he hath measured the sea, and what it containeth. 

58 He hath shut the sea in the midst of the waters, 
and with his word hath he ''hanged the earth upon h Job 26, 7. 
the waters. 

59 He spreadeth out the heavens like a vault ; upon 
the waters hath he founded it. 

60 In ' the desert hath he made springs of water, and ' Isa. 41, 
pools upon the tops of the mountains, that the floods 19] ' 
might pour down from the high rocks to w ater the earth. 

61 '' He made man, and put his heart in the midst of kGen. 2,7, 
the body, and gave him breath, life, and understanding. 

62 Yea, and the ' Spirit of Almighty God, which iGen. 1,2 
made all things, "' and searcheth out all hidden things ni 1 Cor.2, 
in the secrets of the earth, ^^' 

63 Surely he knoweth 30ur inventions, and what 

ye think in your hearts, even them that sin, "and n Job 34, 
would hide their sin. 

64 Therefore hath the Lord exactly searched out 
all your works, and he will put you all to shame. 

65 And when your sins are brought forth, ye shall 
be ashamed before men, and your own sins shall be 
your accusers in that day. 

66 What will ye do .'' ° or how will ye hide 
sins before God and his angels.'' 

67 Behold, ^ God himself is the judge, fear him . 
leave ofi" from your sins, and forget your iniquities, to ' 
meddle no more with them for ever : so shall God 
lead you forth, and deliver 30U from all trouble. 

68 For behold, the burning wrath of a great mul- 
titude is kindled over you, and the^- shall take away 
certain of 30U, and feed you, || being idle, with things lOr, beivg 
oflered unto idols. nmbktore 

69 And they that consent unto them shall be had 
in derision and in reproach, and trodden under foot. 

70 '' For there shall be in every place, and in the q Acts 21, 
next cities, a great insurrection upon those that fear 
the Lord. 

71 The3' shall be like mad men, sparing none, but 
still spoiling and destroying those that fear the Lord. 

72 For they shall waste and take away their goods, 
and cast them out of their houses. 

73 Then shall they be known who are my chosen ; 
' and the3' shall be tried as the gold in the fire. 

74 Hear, O 36 my beloved, saith the Lord: be- 
hold, the days of trouble are at hand, but I will de- 
liver you from the same. 

75 'Be ye not afraid, neither doubt; for God is isa.41,10.

Tobit's stock, and devotion in his youth : 9 His marriage, 10 and 
captivity : 13 His preferment, 16 alms and charity in burying the 
dead, ly for which he is accused and fleelh, 22 and after return- 
eth to Xinevc. 

' I ^HE bock of the j| u-ords of Tobit, son of Tobiel, 
_M_ tlie son of Ananiel, tlie sou of Aduel, the son 
of Gabael, of the seed of Asael, of the tribe "^ of 
I^ephthrdi ; 

2 Who in the time of ''Enemessar king- of the 
Assyrians was led captive out of Thisbe. which is at 
the right hand of that cit3-, v.hich is called || properij' 
Xephthaii in Galilee above Aser. 

3 I Tobit have walked all the days of my life in 
the wa\' of truth and justice, and I did raanv alms- 
deeds to mj- brethren, and m^" nation, who came v,ith 
me to jXineve, into the land of the Assyrians. 

4 And when I was in mine own country', in the land 
of Israel, being but3-oung-, "^ all the tribe of Xephthali 
m}" father fell from the house of Jerusalem, '^ which 
was chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, that all the 
tribes should sacrifice there, where the temple of the 
habitation of the Most High was consecrated and 
built for all ages. 

5 Now all the tribes which together revolted, and 
the house of my father Nephthali, sacrificed || unto the 
^ heifer Baal. " 

6 But I alone went often to Jerusalem at the feasts, 
as it was ordained unto all the people of Israel bv an 
everlasting decree, 'having the first-fruits and tenths 
of increase, with that which was first shorn ; and them 
gave I at the altar to the priests the children of Aaron. 

7 The first tenth part of all increase I gave to the 
sons of II Aaron, who ministered at Jerusalem : an- 
other tenth part I sold awa}-, and went, and spent it 
ever\' year at Jerusalem : 

8 And the third I gave unto them to whom it was 
meet, ^ as Debora my father's mother had command- 
ed me, because I was left an orphan bv rav father. 

9 Furthermore, when I was come to the acre of a 
man, I married Anna of mine '' own kindred, and of 
her I begat Tobias. 

10 And when we were carried away captives to 
Nineve, all my brethren and those that were of my 
kindred did eat of the ' bread of the Gentiles. 

11 But I kept f myself from eating; 

12 Because I remembered God with all my heart. 

13 And the [Most High gave me grace and favour 
before Enemessar, so that I was his f purveyor. 

14 And I went into Media, and left in trust with 
Gabael, the brother of Gabrias, || at Rages, a citj" of 
Media, ten talents of silver. 

15 Now when Enemessar was dead, Sennacherib 
liis son reigned in his stead ; f whose estate was trou- 
bled, that 1 could not go into [Media. 

16 And in the time of Enemessar I gave many 
alms to my brethren, "^ and gave my bread to the 
hungry, 

IT And my clothes to the naked : and if I saw any 
of my nation dead, or cast || about the walls of Ni- 
neve, I buried him. 

13 And if the king Sennacherib had slain any, 
when he was come, and ' lied from Judea, I buried 
them privily; for in his wrath he killed many; but 



the bodies were not found, when they were sought for 
of the king. 

19 And when one of the Ninevites went and com- 
plained of me to the king, that I buried them, and hid 
myself; understanding that I was sought for to be put 

to death, ™I withdrew mjself for fear. niMat 10 

20 Then all my goods were forcibh" taken away, "'' 
neither was there any thing left me, besides m}' wife 
Anna and my son Tobias. 

21 And there passed not five and fifty days before 

two of his sons "* killed him, and they fled into the n -Kings

CHAPTER II. 

1 Tobit leaveth his meat to bury the dead, 10 and becometh blind. 
1 1 His wife taketh in work to get her living. 14 Her husband 
and she fall out about a kid. 

OW when I was come home acain, and ^ my 

wife Anna was restored unto me, with my son 

Tobias, in the feast of Pentecost, which is ^ the holy 

feast of the seven weeks, there was a good dinner 

prepared me, in the which I sat down to eat. 

2 And when I saw abundance of meat, I said to 
my son, Go and bring what '^ poor man soever thou 
shah find out of our brethren, who is mindful of the 
Lord ; and lo, I tarry for thee. 

3 But he came again, and said. Father, one of our 
nation is strangled, and is cast out in the market-place. 

4 Then before I had tasted of any meat, I started 
up, and took him up into a room until the going down 
of the sun. 

5 Then I returned, and washed myself, and ate 
my meat in heaviness, 

6 Remembering that prophec\- of ° Amos, as he 
said. Your feasts shall be turned into mourning, and 
all vour mirth into lamentation. 

7 Therefore I wept : and after the going down of 
the sun I went ^ and made a grave, and buried him. 

S But m\' neighbours mocked me, and said, This 
man is not \et afraid to be put to death for this mat- 
ter : ' who fled away ; and yet lo, he burieth the 
dead again. 

9 The same night also I returned from the burial, 
and slept by the wall of my court-yard, ^ being pol- 
luted, and my face was uncovered : 

10 And I knew not that there were || sparrows in 
the wall, and mine eyes being open, the sparrows 
muted warm dung into mine eyes, and ]| a whiteness 
came in mine eyes; and I went to the physicians, but 
they helped me not : moreover, Achiacharus did nou- 
rish me, until I went into Elymais. 

11 And m}' wife Anna ji did take women's works 
to do. 

12 And when she had sent ;; them home to the 
owners, they paid her wages, and gave her also be- 
sides a kid.

12 Beware of all '' whoredom, my son, and chiefly j^ 1 xhess 
take a wife, of the seed of thy fathers, and take not a ■i, 3. 

' strange woman to wife, which is not of thy father's 1 Neh. 13, 
tribe : for we are the children of the prophets, Noe, ^^- ^^• 
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob : remember, my son, that 
our fathers from the beginning, even that they all 
married wives of their own kindred, and were blessed 
in their children, and their seed shall inherit the land. 

13 Now therefore, my son, love "Uhy brethren, mRom. 9, 
and despise not in thy heart thy brethren, the sons \^^l^{ 17 
and daughters of thy people, in not taking a wife of 

them : for in pride is destruction and mtich trouble, 
and in lewdness is decay and great want : for lewd- 
ness is the mother of famine.

14 Let not the" wages of any man, which hath '

will; now therefore, my son, remember my command- ) 
ments, neither let them be put out of thy mind. ^ 

20 And now I signify this to thee, that " I commit- \

thou hast much wealth, if thou ^ fear God, and depart ^

3 Then he gave him the hand-writing, and said ^ 
unto him. Seek thee a man which may go with thee, ^ 
while I yet live, and I will give him wages : and go f 
and receive the money. ^ 

4 Therefore when he went to seek a man, he found 
Raphael that was an angel. 

5 But he knew not ; and he said unto him. Canst 
thou go with me to "^ Rages ? and knowest thou those 
places well ? 

6 To whom the angel said, I will go with thee, 
and I know the way well : for I have lodged with our 
brother ^ Gabael. 

7 Then Tobias said unto him. Tarry for me, till I 
tell my father. 

8 Then he said unto him. Go, and tarry not. So 
he went in and said to his father. Behold, I have 
found one which will go with me. Then he said, Call 
him unto me, that I may know of what tribe he is, 
and whether he be a trusty man to go with thee. 

9 So he called him, and he came in, and they * sa- 
luted one another. 

10 Then Tobit said unto him, Brother, shew me 
of what tribe and family thou art. 

11 To whom he said. Dost thou seek for a tribe 
or family, or an hired man to go with thy son ? Then 
Tobit said unto him, "^I would know, brother, thy 
kindred and name. 

12 Then he said, I am Azarias, the son of Ananias 
the great, and of thy brethren. 



TOBIT. Apocrypha. 

13 Then Tobit said, Thou ai*: uelcome, brother; 
be not now angry with me, because I have inquired 
to know thy tribe and thy family ; for thou art my 
brother, of an honest and good stock : for I know 
Ananias and Jonathas, sons of that great Samaias, as 
we s went together to Jerusalem to worship, and of- g ch. 1,6. 
fered the first-born, and the tenths of the fruits : and 
they were not seduced ^ with the error of our bre- h ch. 1 4, 
thren : my brother, thou art of a good stock. ' ^• 

14 But tell me, 'what wages shall I give thee.? "Sec verse 
wilt thou a drachm a day, and things necessary, as to 
mine own son ? 

15 Yea, moreover, if ye return safe, I will add 
something to thy wages. 

IG So they were well pleased. Then said he to 
Tobias, Prepare thyself for the journey, ''and God k See Gen 
send you a good journey. And when his son had ^' ^^" 
prepared all things for the journey, his father said, 
Go thou with this man, and God, which dwelleth in 
heaven, prosper your journey, and the 'angel of God IF^-^^' 
keep you company. So they went forth both, and 
the 3'oung man's dog with them. 

17 But™ Anna his mother wept, and said to To- ™<^h. l, 9 
bit. Why hast thou sent away our son ? is he not the 
staff of our hand, in going in and out before us .'' 

18 II Be not greedy to add money to money, but \\Ot,letnot

19 II For that which the Lord hath given us to live iethe'cf-

21 For the good angel will keep him company, tZit^-^'

22 Then she made an end of weeping. 

CHAPTER VI. 

4 The angel biddeth Tobias to take the liver, heart, and gall out of 
a fish, 10 and to marry Sara the daughter of Raguel : 16 and 
teacheth how to drive the wicked spirit away. 

ND as they went on their journey, they came in

5 So the young man did as the a-ngel commanded 
him ; and when they had roasted the fish, they did 
eat it : then they both went on their way, till they 
drew near to "^ Ecbatane. <= ^^- 3, ^^ 

6 Then the young man said to the angel. Brother 
''Azarias, to what use is the heart and the liver and dch.fi, 12. 
the gall of the fish ? 

7 And he said unto him. Touching the heart and 
the liver, if a devil or an evil spirit trouble any, we 
must make a smoke thereof before the man or the wo- 
man, and the party shall be no more vexed, 

8 As for the gall, it is good to anoint a man that e ch. 2, 10

10 The angel said to the young man, Brother, to- 

ch.3,7. day we shall lodge with ''Raguel, who is thy cousin ;

hear me, and I will speak to her father ; and when 
we return from Rages we will celebrate the marriage : 
for I know that Raguel cannot marry her to another 
according to the law of IMoses, but he shall be guilty 
of death, because the right of inheritance doth rather 
appertain to thee than to any other. 

13 Then the young man answered the angel, I

wherefore I also fear lest I die, and bring my father's 
and my mother's life, because of me, to the grave with 
sorrow : for they have no other son to bury them. 
mch.4, 12, 15 Then the angel said unto him, ""Dost thou not 
remember the precepts which thy father gave thee, 
that thou shouldest marry a wife of thine own kin- 
dred ? wherefore hear me, O my brother ; for she 
shall be given thee to wife ; and make thou no reck-

should not depart till ° the fourteen days of the mar-

21 And then he should take the half of his goods, 
and go in safety to his father ; and should have the 
rest when I and my wife be dead. 

CHAPTER IX. 

1 Tobias sendeth the angel unto Gabael for the money: 6 The an-

THEN Tobias called ® Raphael, and said unto him, 
2 Brother Azarias, take with thee a servant, and 
two camels, and go to '^ Rages of Media, to Gabael, and 
bring me the money, and bring him to the wedding. 

3 For Raguel hath sworn that I shall not depart. 

4 But my father counteth the days ; and if I tarry 
long, he will be very sorry. 

5 So Raphael went out, and lodged with "= Gabael, 
and gave him the hand-writing : who brought fortli 
bags which were sealed up, and gave them to him. 

6 And early in the morning they went forth both 
together, and came to the wedding : and |1 Tobias

NOW Tobit his father °- counted every day : and 
when the days of the journey were expired, and 
they came not, 

2 Then Tobit said, Are they detained .'' or is Gabael 
dead, and there is no man to give him the money ^ 

3 Therefore he was very sorry. 

4 Then his wife said unto him, My son is dead, 
seeing he stayeth long ; and she began to bewail him, 
and said, 

5 Kow ^ I care for nothing, my son, since 1 have

FTER these things Tobias ^ went his way,

years : " and he gave alms, and he || increased in the 
fear of the Lord God, and praised him.

take thy children ; for behold, I am aged, and am 
ready to depart out of this life. 

4 Go into Media, my son, for I surely believe those 
things which "^ Jonas the prophet spake of Nineve, 
that it shall be overthrown ; and that for a time peace

shall lie scattered in the earth from that good land :

5 ^ And that again God will have mercy on them, 
and bring them again into llie land, v/here they shall 
build a temple, ^ but not like to the first, until the 
time of that age be fulfilled ; and afterward they sliall 
return from all places of their captivity, and build up 
Jerusalem gloriously, and the house of God shall be

him up, how out of light he brought him into dark- 
ness, and how he rewarded him again : yet Achia- 
charus was II saved, but the other had his reward : 
for he went down into darkness. || Manasses gave 
alms, and escaped the snares of death || which they 
had set for him : but Aman fell into the snare, and 
perished. 

11 Wherefore now, my son, ' consider what alms 
doeth, and how righteousness doth deliver. When he 
had said these things, he gave up the ghost in tht

Medes in Ecbatane, 

2 And built in Ecbatane "^ walls round about of 
stones hewn three cubits broad and six cubits long, 
and made the height of the wall seventy cubits, and 
the breadth thereof fifty cubits : 

3 And set the towers thereof upon the gates of it, 
an hundred cubits high, and the breadth thereof in 
the foundation threescore cubits: 

4 And he made the gates thereof, even gates that 
were raised tc the he'ght of seventy cubits, and the 
breadtli of them was fo.ty cubits, for the going forth of 
bis mighty armies, and for the setting in array of his 
footmen :

17 And while they sinned not before their God, 
they prospered, because the God 'that hateth iniquity 
was with them. 

IS " But when they departed from the way which 
he appointed them, they were destroyed in many bat-

20 Now therefore, my lord and governor, * if there

1 Holofernes besiegeth Bethulia, 7 and stoppeth the waterfrom them. 
22 Thoy faint and murmur against the governors, 30 who promise 
to yield witliin five days. 

HE next day Holofernes commanded all his army, 
and all his people which were come to take his 
ach 6, 14. part, thax they should remove their camp against* Be- 
thulia, to take aforehand the ascents of the hill-coun- 
try, and to make war against the children of Israel. 

2 Then their strong men removed their camps in 
b See ch. that day, and the army of the men of war was ^ an 
^' '' hundred and seventy thousand footmen, and twelve 

thousand horsemen, besides the baggage, and other men 
that were afoot among them, a vei-y great multitude. 

3 And they camped in the valley near unto Bethu- 
cch. 6, n. lia, ' by the fountain, and they spread themselves in 

brea 1th || over Dothaim even to Belmaim, and in 
length fi-om Bethulia unto j Cyaraon, which is over 
against Esdraelom. 

4 Now the children of Israel, when they saw the 
multitude of them, were greatly troubled, and said 
every one to his neighbour, ^ Now will these men lick 
up the face of the earth ; for neither the high moun- 
tains, nor the valleys, nor the hills, are able to bear 
their weight. 

5 Then every man took up his weapons of war, 
and when they had kindled fires upon their towers, 

eHab.2, 1. they remained and * watched all that night. 

6 But in the second day Holofernes brought forth 
all his horsemen in the sight of the children of Israel 
which were in Bethulia ; 

7 And viewed ^ the passages up to the city, and 
came to ^ the fountains of their waters, and took them, 
and set garrisons of men of war over them, and he 
himself removed towards his people. 

8 Then came unto him all the chief of the children 
of Esau, and all the governors of the people of Moab, 
and the captains of the sea-coast, and said, 

9 Let our lord now hear a word, that there be not 
an overthrow in thine army.

of the mountain : 

13 For all the inhabitants of Bethulia have their 

v.-ater thence : '' so shall diirst kill them, and they shall kEx. 17,3 
give up their city, and we and our people shall go up 
to the tops of the mountains that are near, and will 
camp upon them, to watch that none go out of the city. 

14 So they and their wives and their children shall 

be consumed ' with famine, and before the sword come ' Ex. 16, 3 
against them, they shall be overthrown in the streets 
where they dwell. 

15 Thus shall thou render them an evil reward; 
because they ""■ rebelled, and " met not thy person mch. 2, ii. 
peaceably. 

16 And these words pleased Holofernes and all his 
servants, and he appointed to do as they had spoken. 

17 So the camp of the children of Ammon departed, 
and with them five thousand of the Assyrians, and 

they pitched in the valley, and ° took the waters, and » verse 12 
the fountains of the waters of the children of Israel. 

18 Then the children of Esau went up with the 
children of Ammon, and camped in the hill-country 

over against p Dothaim : and they sent some of them P verse 3 
towards the south, and towards the east, over against 
Ekrebel, which is near unto Chusi, that is upon the 
brook Mochmur ; and the rest of the arm}' of the As- 
syrians camped in the plain, and ^ covered the face of ^ ~^- ^' ''■ 
the whole land ; and their tents and carriages were 
pitched to a ver}' great multitude. 

19 Then the '' children of Israel cried unto the Lord \^^- '*' 
their God, because their heart failed, for all their ene- 
mies had compassed them round about, and there was 
no way to escape out from among them. 

20 Thus all the company of Assur remained about 
them, both their footmen, chariots, and horsemen, four 
and thirty days, ^ so that all their vessels of water fail- 
ed all the inhabitants of Bethulia. 

21 And the || cisterns were emptied, and they had 
not water to drink their fill for one day ; for they gave 
them drink by measure. 

22 Therefore their young children were out of heart, 

and their women ' and young men fainted for thirst, tisa. 40,30 
and fell down in the streets of the city, and by the pas- 
sages of the gates, and there was no longer any 
strength in them. 

23 Then all the people assembled to " Ozias, and " ^h- 6, 15. 
to the chief of the city, both young men, and women, 

and children, and cried with a loud voice, and said 
before all the elders, 

24 God be ^ judge between us and you: for ye :s£x.5,2l 
have done us great injury, ^ in that ye have not re- y 'h- ^> i

25 For now we have no helper : ''■ but God hath

26 Now therefore call them unto you, and deliver 
the whole city for a spoil to the people of Holofernes,

governors for their promise to yield, 17 and adviseth them to 
trust in God. 28 They excuse their promise. 33 She promiselh 
to do soinelliing for tiieni. 

NOW at that time Judith heard thereof, ^^ hich was 
the daughter of ^ Merari, the son of Ox, the son 
of Joseph, the son of Oziel, the son of Elcia, the son 
of Ananias, the son of Gideon, the son of Raphaim, 
the son of Acitho, the son of Eliu, the son of Eliab, 

the son of NathanaeJ, the son of || Saraael, the son of 5 

Salasadai, the son of Israel. J 

2 And Manasscs was her husband, of her tribe and '

3 For "^ as he stood overseeing tiiem that bound ^ 
sheaves in the field, the heat came upon his head, and ^

upon them. 

8 And there was none that gave her an ill word ; 
for she feared God greatly. 

9 Now when she heard ' the evil words of the peo- ( 
pic against the governor, that they fainted for lack of (* 
water ; for Judith had heard all ^ the words tiiat ^ 
Ozias iiad spoken unto them, and that he had sworn to ( 
deliver the city unto the Assyrians after five days ; f 

10 Tlien slie sent her waiting-woman, that had the ^

them. Hear me now, O 3'C governors of the inhabit- (

right, touching this i

13 And now try the Lord Almighty, but 3'e shall

14 For ye cannot find the depth of the heart of

made all these things, and know his mind, or comore- Roni. 11,

Lord our God to anger. 

15 For if he will not help us within these five days, 

" he hath power to defend us when he will, even every n Dan. 4,

16 Do not II bind the counsels of the Lord our 11 Or, en-

17 Therefore let us p wait for salvation of hiin, and P Gen. 49,

19 For the wliich cause our fathers were given to ^'5 j ' '

20 But we know none other God, therefore •■ we rPs. 125, 1. 
trust that he will not despise us, nor any of our nation. 

21 For if we be taken so, all Judea shall lie waste, 

' and our sanctuary siiall be spoiled; and he will re- sPs.74, 7. 
quire the profanation thereof at our mouth. 

22 And the || slaughter of our brethren, and the 11 Or,/ear.

Gentiles, wheresoever we shall be in bondage; ' and t Dcut. 28, 
we shall be an oflence and a reproach to all them that 
possess us. 

23 For our servitude shall not be directed to favour : 
but the Lord our God shall turn it to dishonour. 

24 Now therefore, O brethren, let us shew an ex- 
ample to our brethren, because their hearts depend 

upon us, " and the sanctuary, and the house, and the " verse 21

25 Moreover, let us give thanks to the Lord our

1 Judith humbleth herself, 2 and prayelh God to jirosper her pur- 
pose against the enemies of his sanctuary. 

THEN Judith * fell upon her face, and put ashes 
upon her head, and uncovered the sackcloth 
wherewith she was clothed ; and about the time ^ that 
the incense of that evening was offered in Jerusalem, 
in the house of the Lord, Judith cried with a loud 
voice, and said, 

2 O Lord God of my father "^ Simeon, to whom 
thou gavest a sword to take vengeance of the stran- 
gers, who loosened the girdle of a maid to defile her, 
and discovered the thigh to her shame, and polluted 
her virginity to her reproach ; "^ for thou saidst. It 
shall not be so ; and yet they did so : 

3 Wherefore thou gavest their rulers to be slain, so 
that they dyed their bed in blood, being deceived, and 
smotest the servants with their lords, and the lords 
upon their thrones ; 

4 * And hast given their wives for a prey, and their 
daughters to be captives, and all their spoils to be di- 
vided among thy dear children ; which were moved 
with thy zeal, and abhorred ' the pollution of their 
blood, and called upon thee for aid : O God, O my 
God, hear me also s a widow. 

5 For thou hast wrought not only those things, but 
also the things which fell out before and which en- 
sued after ; thou hast thought u-pon the things which 
are now, and which are to come. 

6 Yea, ^ what things thou didst determine were 
ready at hand, and said, Lo, we are here : for all thy 
ways are prepared, and thy judgments are in thy 
foreknowledge. \ 

7 For, behold, the Assyrians ' are multiplied in their \ 
power ; they are exalted with horse and man ; they 
glory in the strength of their footmen ; they trust in 
shield and spear, and bow and sling; and know not 
that thou art the Lord that breakest the battles : the 
Lord is thy name. 

8 Throw down their strength in thy power, and 
bring down their force in thy wrath : '^ for they have 
purposed to defile thy sanctuary, and to pollute the 
tabernacle where thy glorious name resteth, and to 
cast down with the sword the horn of thy altar. 

9 Behold their pride, and send thy wrath upon 
their heads : give into mine hand, vvliich am a widow, 
the power tliat I have conceived. 

10 ' Smite by the deceit of my lips the servant with 
the prince, and the prince witli tlie servant : break 
down their stateliness by the hand of a woman.

afflicted, an helper of the oppressed, an upholder of 11&-I6, a 
the weak, a protector of the forlorn, a saviour of them ^°' ^' 
that are without hope. 

12 I pray thee, I pray thee, " O God of my father, n Gen. 32,

3 Judith doth set forth herself. 10 She and her maid go forth into 
the camp. 17 The watch take and conduct her to Holofernes. 

OW after that she had ceased ^ to cry unto the a ch. 9, . 
God of Israel, and had made an end of all these 
words, 

2 She rose where she had fallen down, and called 

^ her maid, and went down into the house, in the b ch. 8, 33 
which she abode in the sabbath-days, and in her 
feast-days. 

3 And pulled off "^ the sackcloth which she had on, cch. 8, 5. 
and put offtlie garments of her widowhood, and wash- 
ed hei- body all over with water, and anointed herself 
with precious ointment, and braided the hair of her 
head, and put on a f tire upon it, and put on her gar- 
ments of gladness, wherewith she was clad during the 
life of'' Manasses her husband. 

4 And she took sandals upon her feet, and ^ put 
about her her bracelets, and her chains, and her rings, 
and her ear-rings, and all her ornaments, and decked 
herself bravely, to allure the eyes of all men that should 
see her. 

b Then she gave her maid a bottle of wine, and a 
cruse of oil, and filled a bag with parched corn, and 
lumps of figs, and with fine bread ; so she || folded 
all these things together, and laid them upon her. 

6 Thus they went forth to the gate of the city of 
Bethulia, and found standing there "^ Ozias, and the fch. 8, 35 
ancients of the city, Chabris and Charmis. 

7 And when they sa.w her, that her countenance 

was altered, ^ and her apparel was changed, they S'^^"® 3- 
wondered at her beauty very greatly, and said unto her, 

8 The God, ^ the God of our fathers, give thee fa- 
vour, and accomplish thine enterprises to the glory of 
the children of Israel, and to the exaltation of Jerusa- 
lem. Then they worshipped God. 

9 And she said unto them, Command the gates of 
the city to be opened unto me, that I may go forth to 
accomplish the things whereof 3'e have spoken with 
me. So they commanded the young men to open 
unto her, as she had spoken. 

10 And when they had done so, Judith went out. 
she, and her maid with her ; and the men of the city 
looked after her, until she was gone down the moun- 
tain, ' and till she had passed the valley, and could > ch. 6, li. 
see her no more. 

1 1 Thus they went straight forth in the valley : 
and the first watch of the '' Assyrians met her,

camp : for her coming was noised among the tents,

2 Now therefore, if thy people *= that dwelleth in

2 Judith will not eat of Holofernes' meat. 7 She tarrieth three daj's i 

in the camp, and every night went forth to pray. 13 Bagoas i 

moveth her to be merry with Holofernes, 20 who for joy of her ( 

company drank much. { 

THEN he commanded to bring her in where his ) 

plate was set ; and bade that they should pre- i 

a Dan. 1,5. pare for her * of his ov/n meats, and that she should \ 

drink of his own wine. \ 

2 And Judith said, I *" will not eat thereof, lest ( 
there be an offence : but provision shall be made for i 
me of the things that I have brought. ^ 

3 Then Holofernes said unto her. If thy provision ( 
should fail, how should we give thee tlte like.'' for ^ 
there be none with us of "^ thy nation. ^ 

4 Then said Judith unto him, As thy soul liveth, ( 
my lord, thine handmaid shall not spend those things } 
that 1 have, before the Lord work by mine hand the ^ 
things that he hath determined. f 

5 Then "^ the servants of Holofernes brought her ^ 

into the tent, and she slept till midnight, and she arose i 

..,,., ... ^ 



when it was towards the morning watch, 

6 And sent to Holofernes, saying, Let my lord now 
c(h.i!,i7. command that thine handmaid ^ may go forth unto 

prajer. 

7 Then Holofernes commanded his guard that they 
should not stay her : thus she abode in the camp three 
days, and went out in the night into ^ the valley of ) 
Bethulia, and washed herself in a fountain of water 
by the camp. 

8 And when she came out, she besought the Lord 
God of Israel to direct her way to the raising up of 
the children of her people. 

9 So she came in clean, and remained in the tent, 
until she did eat her meat at evening. 

10 And in the fourth day Holofernes made a feast 
to ^ his own servants only, and called none of the of- 
ficers to the banquet. 

11 Then said he to Bagoas the eunuch, who had 
charge over all that he had. Go now, and persuade ^ 

hth.io, 12. this "^ Hebrew woman which is with thee, that she J 



come unto us, and eat and drink with us. 

12 For lo, it will be a shame for our person, if we 
I cii 11, 21. shall let i such a woman go, not having had her com- 
pany ; for if we draw her not unto us, she will laugh ^ 
us to scorn. 

13 Then went Bagoas from the presence of Holo- 
k ch. 11, 1, femes, and came to her, and he said, ^ Let not this fair 

damsel fear to come to my lord, and to be honoured 
in his presence, and drink wine, and be merry with ^ 
us, and be made this day as one of the daughters of ^

pleaseth him I will do speedily, and it shall be my joy 
unto the day of my death. 

15 So she arose, ° and decked herself with her ap- 
parel, and all her women's attire, and her maid went 
and laid soft skins on the ground for her over against 
Holofernes, which she had received of ° Bagoas for oversell 
her daily use, that she might sit and eat upon them. 

16 Now when Juditii came in and sat down., Holo- 
fernes' heart was ravished with her, and his mind was 
moved, and he desired greatly her company ; for he 
waited a time to deceive her, from the day that he had 
seen her. 

17 Then said Holofernes unto her, Drink now, 
P and be merry with us. 

18 So Judith sdd, I will drink now, my lord, be- 
cause my life is magnified in me this day more than 
all the days since I was born. 

19 Then she took and ate and drank before him 
what 1 her maid had prepared. 

20 And Holofernes took great delight in her, and 
drank much more wine than he had drunk at any 
time in one day "■ since he was born. 

CHAPTER XHI. 

2 Judith is left alone witii Holofernes in his tent. 4 She prayeth 
God to give her strength. 7 She cutteth off his head while he 
slept, 10 and returneth with it to Bethulia. 17 They seeing it, 
commend her. 

NOW when the evening was come, " his servants a ch. 12, 
made haste to depart, and Bagoas shut his tent ^^' 
without, and dismissed the waiters from the presence 
of his lord ; and they went to their beds : for they 
were all weary, because the feast had been long. 

2 And Judith was left alone in the tent, and Holo- 
fernes lying along upon his bed : for he was filled

3 Now Judith had commanded her maid to stand 31,20.26. 
without her bed-chamber, and to wait for her coming 

forth, as she did daily : for she said she would go 

forth "^ to her prayers, and she spake to Bagoas ac- cch. 12,6 

cording to the same purpose. 

4 So all went forth, and none was left in the bed- 
chamber, neither little nor great. Then Judith, stand- 
ing by his bed, said "^ in her heart, O Lord God of all d 1 Sam. 1 
power, look at this present upon the works of mine 

hands for ^ the exaltation of Jerusalem. 

5 For now is the time to help thine inheritance, and 
to execute mine enterprises to the destruction of the 
enemies which are risen against us. 

6 Then she came to the pillar of the bed which 
was at Holofernes' head, and took down his fauchion 
from thence, 

7 And approached to his bed, and took hold of 
the hair of his head, and said, '' Strengthen me, O 
Lord God of Israel, this day. 

8 s And she smote twice upon his neck with all her gsee Judg 
might, and she took away his head from him. 

9 And tumbled his body down from the bed, and 
pulled down the canopy from the pillars, and anon 
after she went forth, and gave Holofernes' head to 
'' her maid ; 

10 And she put it in her bag of meat : so they 
twain went togedier according to their custom unto 
prayer : and when they passed the camp, they com- 
passed ' the valley, and went up the mountain of Be- 
thulia, and came to the gates thereof 

11 Then said Judith afar off to the watchmen '' at kch. 10,1

they made haste to go down to the gate of their city,

great, for it was strange unto them that she was come : 
so they opened the gate, and received them, and made 
a fire for a light, and stood round about them. 

14 Tlien she said to them with a loud voice, ""Praise,

14 Then went in Bagoas, and knocked at the door 
of the tent ; for he thought that he had slept with 
Judith. 

15 But because none answered, "^ he opened it, and m Judges 
went into the bed-chamber, and found him cast upon ' ^' 
the floor dead, " and his head was taken from him. n ch. 13, 8- 

IG II Therefore he cried with a loud voice, with n Tlien. 
weeping, and sighing, and a mighty cry, ° and rent o Job 1,20 
his garments. 

17 After, he went into die tent where Judith lodg- 
ed : and when he found her not, he leaped out to the 
people, and cried, 

18 P These slaves have dealt treacherously; one p ch. 10, 
woman of the Hebrews hath brought shame upon the '9- 
house of king Nabuchodonosor : for behold, Holofer- 
nes lieth upon the ground without a head. 

19 When '' the captains of the Assyrian army heard 
these words, "" they rent their coats, and their minds 
were wonderfully troubled, and there was a cry and 
a very great noise throughout the camp.

dren of Israel, every one that was a warrior among 
them, rushed out upon them. 

4 Then sent " Ozias to Betoraasthem, and to Bebai, 
and Chobai, and Cola, and to all the coasts of Israel, 
such as should tell the things that 'N^ere done, and 
that all should '' rush forth upon their enemies to de- 
stroy them. 

5 Now when the children of Israel heard it, they 
all fell upon them with one consent, and slew them 
unto * Chobai : likewise also they that came from Je- 
rusalem, and from all the hill-country, (for men had 
told them what things were done in the camp of their 
enemies,) and they that were In Galaad, and In Gali- 
lee, ||chased them with a great slaughter, until they 
were passed Damascus and the borders thereof 

6 And the residue, that dwelt in Bethuiia, fell upon 
the camp of Assur, ^ and spoiled them, and were great- 
ly enriched. 

7 And the children oflsrael that returned from the 
slaughter, had that which remained ; and the villages 
and the cities, that were in the mountains and in the plain, 
= gat many spoils : for the multitude was very great. 

8 Then ** Joacim tiie high priest, and ' the ancients 
of the chlldi'en oflsrael that dwelt in Jerusalem, came 
to behold the good things that God had shewed to Is- 
rael, and to see Judith, and to salute her. 

9 And when they came unto her, they blessed her 
with one accord, and said unto her, Thou art the 
^ exaltation of Jerusalem, thou art the great glory of 
Israel, thou art the great rejoicing of our nation : 

10 Thou hast done all these things by thine hand : 
thou hast done much good to Israel, and God is 
pleased therewith : ' blessed be thou of the Almighty 
Lord for evermore. And all the people said, So be it. 

1 1 And the people "" spoiled the camp the space of 
thirty days : and they gave unto Judith Holofernes' 
tent, and all his plate, and beds, and vessels, and all 
his stufi": and she took it, and laid it on her mule; 
and made ready her carts, and laid them thereon. 

12 Then all the women of Israel ran together to 
see her, and blessed her, and made a dance among 
them for her : and she took " branches in her hand, 
and gave also to the women that were with her. 

13 And they put ° a garland of olive upon her and 
her maid that was with her, and she went before all 
the people In the dance, leading all the women : and 
all the men of Israel followed in their armour with 
garlands, and with songs In their months. 

CHAPTER XVI. 

I The song of Judith. 19 She dedicatetli the stuff of Holofernes. 
23 She dieth at Bethuiia, a widow of great honour. 24 All Israel 
lament her death. 

''rflHEN Judith began to sing this thanksgiving In 
-I- all Israel, and all the people sang after her 

II this song of praise. 

2 And Judith said, Begin unto my God with tim- 
brels, sing unto my Lord with cymbals : tune unto him 
a II new psalm : exalt him, and call upon his name. 

3 For God breaketh the battles : for among the 
camps in the midst of the people he hath delivered me 
out of the hands of them that persetuted me. 

4 Assur came out of the mountains from the north, 
he came with ten thousands of his army, the ^ multi- 
tude whereof ■= stopped the torrents, and their horse- 
men have covered the hills. 

5 He bragged that he would burn up my borders, 



J VD [TH. Apocrypha 

and kill my young men with the sword, and dash the 
sucking children against the ground, and make mine 
infants as a prey, and my virgins as a spoil. 

6 But the Almighty •* Lord hath disappointed them dPs. 33, 
b}' the hand of a woman. ' ' 

7 For the mighty one did not fall by the young men, 
neither did tlie sons of the Titans smite him, nor high 
giants set upon him : but Judith the daughter of Merari 
weakened him with the beauty of her countenance. 

8 For " she put off the garment of her widowhood e ch. lo, 3 
for the exaltation of those that were oppressed in Is- **■ 
rael, and anointed her face with ointment, and bound 
her hair in a f tire, and took a linen garment to de- t Gr.miire. 
ceive him. 

9 tier sandals ravished his eyes, •" her beauty took f verse?, 
his mind prisoner, and the fauchion passed through 
his neck. 

10 The Persians quaked at her boldness, and the 
Medes were || daunted at her hardiness. II Or, con- 

1 1 Then my afflicted shouted for joy, and my weak ' 
ones cried aloud; but || they were astonished : ^ these \\The^ssy- 
lifted up their voices, but they were overthrown. gTh'u 

12 The sons of the damsels have pierced them 19. ^15^2. 
through, and wounded them as fugitives' children : 
they perished by the battle of the Lord. 

13 I will sing unto the Lord || a new song: O \\pr,asong 
Lord, thou art great and glorious, wonderful In fersTi^' 
strength, and Invincible. 

14 Let all creatures serve thee ; '' for thou spakest, h Ps. 33, C. 
and they were made, thou didst send forth thy spirit, ^' 
and It created them, and there Is none that can resist 
thy voice. 

15 For ' the mountains shall be moved from their iPs. 46, 2. 
fou.ndations with the waters, the rocks shall melt as 
wax at thv presence : '' vet thou art merciful to them k Gen. 18, 

*i * r Ti 26.28,29. 

that fear thee. 32. ' 

16 For all sacrifice is too little for a sweet savour 
unto thee, and all the fat is not sufficient for thy burnt- 
oflerlng : but he that feareth the Lord is great at all 
times. 

17 Wo to the nations that rise up against my kin- 
dred ! the Lord Almighty will take vengeance of 
them in the day of judgment, In putting ' fire and ilsa. 66, 
worms in their flesh; and they shall feel them, and jyi^rkg 44 
weep for ever. 

18 Now as soon as they entered into Jerusalem, 
they worshipped the Lord ; and as soon as the peo- 
ple *" were purified, they offered their burnt-oiTerlngs, m Mai. 3, 
and their free-offerings, and their gifts. 

19 " Judith also dedicated all the stufi' of Holofer- nch. 15,11 
nes, which the people had given her, and gave the 
canopy, which slie had taken out of his bed-chamber, 
tor a gift unto the Lord, 

20 So the people continued feasting in Jerusalem 
before the sanctuary for the space of three months, 
and Judith remained with them. 

21 After this time every one returned to his own • 
inheritance, and Judith went to Bethuiia, and remain- 
ed in her own possession, and was In her time ° hon- oj Sam. 2 
ourable in all the countiy. 

22 And many desired her, but none p knew her all 
the days of her life, after that Manasses her husband 
was dead, and was gathered to his people.

Part of the Tenth Chapter after the Greek. 

Mardoclieus remembereth and expoundeth iiis dream of the river 
and the two dragons. 

THEN Mardocheus said, " God hath done these 
things. 
5 For I remember a dream which I saw concern- 
ing tiiese matters, and nothing thereof hath failed. 

G "^ A litde fountain became a river, and there was 
light, and the sun, and much water : this river is Es- 
ther, whom the king married, and made queen. 

7 And the two dragons are I and Aman. 

8 And the nations were those that were assembled 
to destroy the name of the Jews : 

9 And my nation is this Israel, which cried to God, 
^ and were saved : for the Lord hath saved his peo- 
ple, and tlie Lord hath delivered us from all those 
evils, '' and God hath wrought signs and great won- 
ders, which have not been done among the Gentiles. 

10 Therefore hath he made * two lots, one for the 
people of God, and another for all the Gentiles. 

11 And these two lots came at tlie hour, and time, 
and day of judgment, before God among all nations. 

12 So God i-emembered his people, and justified 
his inheritance. 

13 Th-erefore those days shall be untc them in "^the 
month Adar, the fourteenth and fifteenth day of the 
same month, with an assembly, and joy, and with 
gladness before God, according to the generations for 
ever among his people. 

CHAPTER XI. 

3 The stock and quality of Mardoclieus: 6 he dreameth of two dra- 
gons coming forth to fight, 10 and of a little fountain which be- 
came a great water. 

IN die fourtii year of the reign of Ptolemeus and 
Cleopatra, Dositheus, who said he was a priest 
and Levite, and Ptolemeus his son, brought this epis- 
tle of Phurim, which they said was the same, and that 
Lysimachus the son of Ptolemeus, that was in Jerusa- 
lem, had interpreted it. 

2 In the second year of the reign of '^ Artaxerxes 
the great, in the first day of die month Nisan, '' Mar- 
docheus the son of Jairus, the son of Semel, the son 
of Cisai of the tribe of Benjamin, "^ had a dream ; 

3 Who was a Jew, and dwelt in the city of Susa, a 
great man, being a servitor in the king's court. 

4 He was also one of the captives, which Nabu- 
chodonosor the king of Babylon carried from Jerusalem 
with Jechonias king of Judea ; and this was his dream. 

5 Behold, a noise of a tumult, with thunder, and 
earthquakes, and uproar in the land : 

6 And behold, "^ two great dragons came forth 
ready to fight, aiiid their cry was great. 



10,6 



7 And at their cry all nations were prepared to 
battle, that they might fight against "^ the righteous | P^- ^'S' 
people. Isa. 26, 2. 

8 And lo a day of "^ darkness and obscurity, tribu- <" Joel 2, 2 
lation and anguish, affliction and great uproar, upon 

the earth. 

9 And the whole righteous nation was troubled, 
fearing their own evils, and were ready to perish. 

10 Then they cried unto God, and upon their cry, 

^ as it were from a little fountain, was made a great gch. io,G. 
flood, even much water. 

11 '' Tiie liglit and the sun rose up, and tlie lowl)^ 
were exalted, and devoured tlie glorious. 

■ 12 Now wliPii i\Iardoclieus, who had seen this 
dream, and what God had determined to do, was 
awake, he bare tliis dream in mind, and until night by 
all means was desirous to know it. 

CHAPTER XII. 

2 The conspiracy of the two eunuchs is discovered by Mardocheus, 
5 for wliicli he is entertained by the iiing, and rewarded. 

AND ]\Iardocheus took his rest in the court '^ with 
Gabatha and Tharra, the two eunuchs of the 
king, and keepers of the palace. 

2 *' And he heard their devices, and searched out 
their purposes, and learned that they were about to 
lay hands upon Artaxerxes the king ; and so he cer- 
tified the king of them. 

3 Then the king examined the two eunuchs, and 
after that diey had confessed it, " they were strangled. 

4 And the king made a record of these things, and 
Mardocheus also wrote thereof. 

5 So the king commanded Mardocheus to serve in 
the court, ** and for this he rewarded hiiTi. 

6 Howbeit "Aman the son of Amadathus the Aga- 
gite, who was in great honour with the king, sought 
to molest Mardocheus and his people because of the 
two eunuchs of the king. 

CHAPTER XIII. 

1 The copy of the king's letters to destroy the Jews. 8 The prayer 
of Manlocheus for them. 

THE copy of the letters was this : The great 
king Artaxerxes writeth these things to the prin- 
ces and governors that are under him from '' India 
unto Ethiopia, in an hundred and seven and twenty 
provinces. 

2 After that I became lord ^ over many nations, ^ ^^^^*- ^'^ 
and had dominion over the whole world, not lifted up 
with presumption of my authority, but carrying my- 
self always with equity and mildness, I purposed to 
settle my subjects continually in a quiet life, and mak- 
ing my kingdom |] peaceable, and open for passage II Or, miu

to the uimost coasts, to renew peace which is desired 
of all men, 

3 Now when I asked my counsellors how this might 
be brought to pass, *= Aman that excelled in wisdom 
among us, and was approved for his constant good 
will and steadfast fidelity,'' and had the honour of the 
second place in the kingdom, 

4 Declared unto us, that in all nations throughout 
the world there was scattered " a certain malicious 
people, that had laws contrary to all nations, and 
continually despised the commandinents of kings, so 
as the uniting of our kingdoms, honourably intended 
b}' us, cannot || go forward. 

5 Seeing then we understand that this people alone 
is continually in opposition unto all men, difleringin the 
strange manner of their laws, and evil-affected to our 
state, ^ working all the reischief they can, that our 
kingdom may not be firmly established : 

6 Therefore have we commanded, that all they that 
are signified in writing unto you by Aman, who is 
ordained over the affairs, and is || next unto us, shall 
all with their wives and children be utterly destroyed 
by the sword of their enemies, without all mercy and 
pity, the fourteenth day of the twelfth month ^ Adar 
of this present year : 

7 That they who of old and now also are malicious, 
may in one day Avitli violence go into the grave, and 
so ever hereafter cause our affairs to be well settled, 
and with<)ut trouble. 

8 Thei Mardocheus ^ thought upon all the works 
of the Lord, and made his prayer unto him, 

9 Saying, O Lord, Lord, the King Almighty : for 
the whole world ' is in thy power, and if thou hast ap- 
pointed to save Israel, there is no man that can gain- 
say thee : 

10 For thou hast made heaven and earth, and all 
the wondrous things under the heaven. 

11 Thou art Lord of all things, and there is no 
man that can resist thee, which art the Lord. 

12 Thou knowest all things, and thou knowest. 
Lord, ** that it was neither in contempt nor pride, nor 
for any desire of glory, that I did not bow down to 
proud Aman. 

13 For ' I could have been content with good will 
for the salvation of Israel to kiss the soles of his feet. 

14 But I did this, that I might not prefer the glory 
of man above the glory of God : neither will I wor- 
ship any but thee, O God, neither will I do it in pride. 

15 And now, O Lord God and King, " spare thy 
people : for their eyes are upon us to bring us to 
nought ; yea, they desire to destroy the inheritance, 
that hath been thine from the beginning. 

16 Despise not " the portion which thou hast de- 
livered out of Egypt for thine own self. 

17 Hear my prayer, and be merciful unto thine in- 
heritance : turn our sorrow into joy, that we may live, 
O Lord, ° and praise thy name : and || destroy not the 
mouths of them that praise thee, O Lord. 

18 All Israel in like manner cried most f earnestly 
unto the Lord, because their death was before their 
eyes. 

CHAPTER XIV. 

Tiie prayer of rjueen Esther for herself, and her people. 

QUEEN Esther also, being in fear of death, " re- 
' sorted unto the Lord : 
2 ^ And laid away her glorious apparel, and put on 



^ the garments of anguish and mourning : and instead 
5 of precious ointments, she covered her head with ashes 
^ and dung, and she humbled her body greatly, and all 
f the places of her joy she filled with her torn hair. 

3 And " she prayed unto the Lord God of Israel, 'ch. 13,3 
saying, O my Lord, thou only art our King : help me, 
desolate woman, which have no helper but thee : 

4 ''■ For my danger is in mine hand. 

5 ^ From my youth up I have heard in the tribe of 
my family, that thou, O Lord, tookest Israel from 

^ among all people, and our fathers from all their pre- 
decessors, for a perpetual inheritance, and thou hast

performed whatsoever thou didst promise them 

6 And now we have sinned before thee : therefore 
hast thou given us into the hands of our enemies, 

7 Because we worshipped their gods : O Lord, 
thou art righteous. 

8 Nevertheless it satisfieth them not, that we are in 
bitter captivity : but they have stricken hands with 
their idols, 

9 That they will abolish the thing ^ that thou with fPs. 78,a 
thy mouth hast ordained, and destroy ^ thine inherit- 



^ ance, and stop the mouth of them that praise thee, and 
f quench the glory of thy house, and of thine altar, 
^ 10 And open the mouths of the heathen "^ to set 
^ forth the praises of the f idols, and to magnifj' a flesh- 
^ ly king for ever. 

> 1 1 O Lord, give not thy sceptre unto them that 
' f be nothing, and let them not laugh at our fall ; but 
turn their device upon themselves, and make him an 
example, that hath begun this against us. 

12 ' Remember, O Lord, make thyself known in 
time of our aflliction, and give me boldness, O King 
} of the II nations, and Lord of all power. 
J 13 Give me eloquent speech in my mouth before 
^ the lion : turn his heart to hate him that fighteth 
f against us, that there may be an end of him, and of 
i all that are like-minded to him : 
^ 14 But deliver us with thine hand, and help me that 
^ '' am desolate, and which have no other helper but thee. 

15 Thou knowest all things, O Lord; thou know- 
est ' that I hate the glory of the unrighteous, and ab- 
hor the bed of the uncircumcised, and of f all the 
heathen. 

16 Thou knowest my necessity: fori abhor the 
sign of my f high estate, which is upon mine head in 
the days wherein I shew myself, and that I abhor it 
as a menstruous rag, and that I wear it not when I 
am I private by myself. 

17 And that, tliine handinaid hath not eaten at 
" Aman's table, and that I have not greatly esteemed 
the king's feast, nor drunk the wine of the drink-of- 
ferings. 

18 Neither had thine handmaid any joy since the 
day f that I was brought hither to this present, " but 

i in thee, O Lord God of Abraham. 

19 O thou mighty God above all, hear the voice of 
the " forlorn, and deliver us out of the hands of the 
mischievous, and deliver me out of my fear.

CHAPTER I. 

2 To whom vjuvi shevveth himself, 4 and wisdom herself. 6 An evil 
speaker cannot lir hid. 12 We procure our own destruction: 13 
For God created noi uoath. 

OVE " rig-liteousiicss, ye that be judges of the 
earth : think of the i^urd vith a good (heart,) 
and in simplicity of heart seek hirn. 

2 For he will be found of them ^ tliat tempt him 
not ; and sheweth himself unto such as do not "^ dis- 
trust him. 

3 For froward thoughts separate from God : and 
his power, when it is tried, |1 reproveth the unwise. 

4 For into a malicious sou! wisdom shall not enter; 
nor dwell in the body that is subject unto sin. 

5 "^ For the holy spirit of discipline will flee deceit, 
and remove from thoughts that are without under- 
standing, and II will not abide when unrighteousness 
comtth in. 

6 For wisdom is a *^ loving spirit ; and will not ac- 
quit a blasphemer of his || words : for God is witness 
of his reins, and a true beholder of his heart, and a 
hearer of his tongue. 

7 For the Spirit of the Lord filleth the world : and 
that which || containeth all things, hath knowledge of 
the voice. 

8 Therefore he that speaketh unrighteous things 
^ cannot be hid : neither shall vengeance, when it 
punisheth, pass by him. 

9 For inquisition shall be made into the counsels 
of the ungodly : and the sound of his words shall 
come unto the Lord for the || manifestation of his 
wicked deeds. 

10 For the ear of jealousy heareth all things : and 
the noise of murinurings is not hid. 

11 Therefore beware of ^ murmuring, which is un- 
profitable ; and refrain your tongue from backbiting : 
for there is no word so secret, that shall go for nought : 
and tlie mouth that || belieth, sla^eth the soul. 

12 Seek not death in the error of your life : and 
pull not upon yourselves ^ destruction with the works 
of your hands. 

13 For God made not death: 'neither hath he 
pleasure in the destruction of the living. 

14 For ^ he created all things, that they might 
have their being : and the generations of the world 
were healthful ; and there is no poison of destruction 
in them, nor the kingdom of death upon the earth : 

15 (For righteousness is immortal :) 

16 ' But ungodly men with their works and words 
called it to them : for when they thought to have it 
their friend, they consumed to nought, and made a 
covenant with it, because they are worthy to take 
part with it. 

CHAPTER IL 

1 The wicked think this life short, 5 and of no other after this. 6 
Therefore they will take tlieir pleasure in this, 10 and conspire 
against the just. 21 What that is which doth blind them. 

FOR the ungodly said, reasoning with themselves, 

but not aright, ^ Our life is short and tedious, \ 

•" and in the death of a man there is no remedj;^ : nei- ( 

ther was there any man known to have returned from t 

the grave. i 

2 For we are born at all adventure : and we shall ' 

be hereafter as though we had never been : for the ^ 



breath in our nostrils is as smoke, and a little spark ui 
the moving of our heart : 

3 Wliich being extinguuished, *= our body shall be 
turned ".no ashes, and our spirit shall vanish as the 
II soft air, 

4 And our name shall be forgotten in time, and no 
man shall have our works in remembrance, and our 
life shall pass away as the trace of a cloud, and shall 
be dispersed as the mist that is driven away with the 
beams of the sun, and || overcome with the heat thereof. 

5 '^ For our time is a very shadow that passeth

II it is fast sealed, so that no man cometh again. 

6 Come on therefore, let us enjoy the good things 
^ that are present : and let us |j speedily use the crea- 
tures like as in youth. 

7 Let us fill ourselves with costly wine and oint- 
ments : and let no flower of the spring pass by us : 

8 Let us crown ourselves with rose-buds, ^ before 
they be withered. 

9 Let none of us go without his part of our || vo- 
luptuousness : let us leave tokens of our joyfulness in 
every place : s for this is our portion, and our lot is 
this. 

10 ^ Let us oppress the poor righteous man, let us 
not spare the widow, nor reverence the ancient gray 
hairs of the aged. 

11 Let our strength be the law of justice : for that 
which is feeble is found to be nothing worth. 

12 Therefore ' let us lie in wait for the righteous; 
because he is not for our turn, and he is clean contra- 
ry to our doings : he upbraideth us with our oflTending 
the law, and objecteth to our infamy the transgres- 
sions of our education. 

13 "" He professeth to have the knowledge of God : 
and he calleth himself the child of the Lord. 

14 He was made to ' reprove our thoughts. 

15 ""He is grievous unto us even to behold: for 
his life is not like other men's, his ways are of ano- 
ther fashion. 

16 We are esteemed of him as || counterfeits: he 
abstaineth from our ways as from filthiness : he pro- 
nounceth " the end of the just to be blessed, and mak- 
eth his boast that God is his father. 

17 Let us see if his words be true : and let us prove 
what shall happen in the end of him. 

18 For if the just man be the " son of God, he will 
help him, and deliver him from the hand of his enemies. 

19 Let us P examine him with despitefulness and 
torture, that we may know his meekness, and prove 
his patience. 

20 Let us condemn him with a shameful d'eath : for 
by his own saying he shall be respected. 

21 Sucli things they did imagine, i and were de- 
ceived : for their own wickedness hatli blinded them. 

22 As for the mysteries of God, '' they knew them 
not : neither hoped they for the wages of righteous- 
ness, nor f discerned a reward for blameless souls. 

23 For God created man to be immortal, and made 
him to be an ' image of his own eternity. 

24 • Nevertheless, through envy of the devil came 
death into the world ; and they that do hold of his 
side do find it.

yet is their •= hope full of immortality. 

5 And having been a little chastised, they shall be 
greatly |1 rewarded : for God '' proved them, and 
found them !| worthy for himself. 

6 * As gold in the furnace hath he tried them, and 
received them as a burnt-offering. 

7 And in the time of their visitation, ^ they shall

S They f shall judge the nations, and have dominion 
over tiie people, and their Lord shall reign for ever. 

9 Tliey that put their trust in him shall understand 
the truth : || and such as be faithful in love shall abide 
with him : for grace and mercy is to his saints, and ) 
he hath care for his elect. i 

10 But the ^ ungodly shall be punished according / 
to their own imaginations, which have neglected the J 
righteous, and forsaken the Lord. ' 

11 For whoso despisedi wisdom and nurture, he is 5 
miserable, and their hope is vain, ' their labours un- i

1 All men have their beginning and end alike. S He preferred wis-

which he had. 22 The praise of wisdom. 

JT MYSELF also am a mortal man, like to all, 
-* and the oSspring of him * tliat was first made of

2 And in my mother's womb was fashioned to be

with sleep. 1^^ 

3 -Vnd when I was bom, I drew in the common air, 
and fell upon the earth, which is of Like nature, and xhe 
first voice which I uttered was crjinff, as aU others do. 

4 I was nursed in '^ swaddling-clothes, and that 
with cares. 

5 For there is no king that had any odier 
ning of birth. 

6 ''For all men have one entrance into life, and 
the like soing oat- 

7 * Wherefore I prayed, and understancfing was 
given me : I called upon God, and the spirit of wis- 
dom came to me. 

8 I preferred her before sceptres and thrones, and 
esteemed riches nothing in comparison of her. 

9 Neither compared I unto her any f precious stone, 
because all gold in respect of her is as a litde sand, 
and silver shall be counted as clay f-efore her. 

10 I loved her above health and beauty, and chose 
to have her instead of light : for the light that cometh 
from her never goeth out. 

\ 1 ^ All good things together came to me with her, 
and innumerable riches in her hands. 

12 And I rejoiced in ttitm alL because wisdom 
goeth before them : and I knew not that she was the 
mother of them.

being CO nmiended for the gifts that come from learning. 

15 II God hath granted me to speak as I would, and 
to conceive as is meet for the things that J are given 
me : because it is he that leadeth Bnto wisdom, and 
directeth the wise. 

16 For in his hand are both we and our words; 
' all wisdom also, and knowledge of vworkmanship. 

17 For he hath given me certain knowIedg:e of the 
thincs that are, namelv, to know how '' the world was 
made, and the operation of die elements : 

13 The beginning, ending, and midst of the rimes : 
the alterations of the turnings of the sun, and ' the

19 The '' circuits of years, and the positions of stars : 

20 The natures of living creatures, and the furies 
of wild beasts : the violence of winds, and the reason- 
ings of men : the diversities of plants, and the virtues 
of roots : 

21 And all such things as are ' either secret or mani-

22 For wisdom, which is the worker of all things, 
taught me : for in her is an understanding spirit,

4 For she b || priTy to the m^eries oFthe know-

OGOD of my fathers, and Lord of mercy, ^ who 
hast made all things Avith thy word, 

2 And ordained man through thy wisdom, that he 
should '^ have dominion over the creatures which thou 
hast made, 

3 And order the world according to equitj- and 
righteousness, and execute judgment with an upright 
lieart : 

4 Give '^ me wisdom, that sitteth by tii}^ throne; 
and reject me not from among thy children : 

5 For I "^ thy seiwant, and son of thine handmaid, 
am a feeble pei-son, and of a short time, and too young 
for the understanding of judgment and laws. 

6 For though a man be never so perfect among 
the children of men, yet if thy wisdom be not with 
him, he shall be nothing regarded. 

7 Thou hast chosen me to be a " king of thy peo- 
ple, and a judge of thy sons and daughters : 

8 Thou hast commanded me to ^ build a temple 
upon th}' holy mount, and an altar in the city wherein 
thou dwellest, a resemblance of the holy tabernacle, 
which thou hast prepared from the beginning. 

9 And " wisdom was with thee : which knoweth thy 
works, '' and was present when thou madest the world, 
and knew what was acceptable in thy sight, and right 
in thy commandments. 

100 send her out of thy holy heavens, and from 
the throne of thy glory, that being present she may 
labour with me, that I may know what is pleasing 
unto thee. 

1 1 For she knoweth and understandeth all things, 
and she shall lead me soberly in my doings, and pre- 
serve me || in her power. 

12 So shall my works be acceptable, and then shall 
I judge thy people righteously, and be worthy to sit 
in my father's seat.

of God ? or who can think what the will of the Lord is .''

CHAPTER X. 

1 What wisdom did for Adam, 4 Noe, 5 Abraham. 6 Lot, and 
against the five cities, 10 for Jacob, 13 Joseph, 16 Moses, 17 and 
the Israelitf s. 

SHE preserved '' the first-formed father of the 
world, that was created alone, and brought him 
out of his fall, 

2 And ^ gave him power to rule all things. 

3 "^ But when the unrighteous went away froin her 
in his anger, he perished also in the fury wherewith 
he murdered his brother. 

4 For whose cause the earth "* being drowned with 
the flood, wisdom again preserved it, ^and directed the 
course of the righteous in a piece of wood of small value. 

5 Moreover, ^ the nations in their \a icked conspira- 
cy being confounded, she found out the righteous, and 
preserved hira blameless unto God, and » kept him 
strong jl against his tender compassion towards his son. 

6 When the ungodly perished, '' she delivered the 
righteous man, who fled from the fijre which fell down 
upon f the ' five cities. 

7 Of whose wickedness even to this day the waste 
land that smoketh is a testimony, and plants hearing 
fruit that never come to ripeness : and a "^ standing 
pillar of salt is a monument of an unbelieving soul. 

8 For regarding not wisdom, thej' gat not only 
this hurt, that they knew not the things wliich were 
good ; but also left behkid them to the world a memo- 
rial of their foolishness : so that in the things wherein 
they ofiended they could not so much as be hid. 

9 But wisdom delivered from pain those that at- 
tended upon her. 

10 ' When the righteous fled from his brother's 
wrath, she guided him in right patiis, shewed him the 
kingdom of God, and gave him knowledge of holy 
things, made him rich in his travels, and multiplied 
thefniit of his labours. 

11 "' Li the covetousness of such as oppressed him 
she stood by him, and made him rich. 

12 She defended him from his enemies, and kept 
him safe from those that lay in wait, " and in a sore 
conflict she gave him the victory ; that he might know- 
that godliness is stronger than all. 

13 ° When the righteous was sold, she forsook him 
not, but delivered hira from sin : she went down with 
him into the pit, 

14 And left him not in bonds, till she brought him 
the sceptre of the kingdom, and || power against 
those tiiat oppressed him : as for them that had ac- 
cused him, slie shewed them to be liars, and gave him 
perpetual glory.

5 Tbe Egj-ptians were punished, and the Israelites reserved, in the 
same thing. 15 They were plagued by the same things wherein 
they sinned. 20 God could have destroyed them otherwise, 23 
but he is merciful to all. 

HE prospered their works in the hand of* the 
holy prophet. 

2 ^ They went througli the wilderness that was not 
inhabited, and pitched tents in places where there lay 
no way. 

3 "^ Tiie\- stood against their enemies, and 
avenged of their adversaries. 

4 When t!iey were thirsty, tliey called upon thee, 
d Ex. 17,6. J and water was given them out of the flinty rock, and 

their tliirst was quenched out of the hard stone. 

5 For b}- what things their enemies were punished, 
by the same they in their need were benefited. 

6 For instead of a fountain of a perpetual running 
e E.X. 7, 17. ri\'r * troubled with foul blood, 

7 For a manifest reproof of that commandment, 
""whereby the infants were slain, thou gavest unto 
them abundance of water by a means which they 
hoped not for : 

8 Declaring by that thirst then ^ how thou hadst 
punished tiieir adversaries. 

9 For when they were tried, albeit but in mercy 
chastised, the}' knew how the ungodly were judged in 
wrath and tormented, thirsting in another manner 
than the just. 

10 For these thou didst admonish and try, '■' as a 
father : but the other, as a severe king, thou didst coa- 
demn and punish. 

1 1 Whether they were absent or present, they were 
vexed alike. 

12 For a double grief came upon them, and a 
groaning for the remembrance of things past. 

13 For when they heard by their own punishments 
the other to be benefited, they || had some feeling of 
the Lord. 

14 For whom they rejected with scorn, when he 
was long before thrown out at the casting fortii of the 
infants, him in the end, when they saw what came to 
pass, they admired. 

15 But for ' the foolish devices of their wickedness, 
wherewith being deceived they worsiiipped serpents 
void of reason, and vile beasts, thou didst send a mul- 
titude of unreasonable beasts upon them for vengeance; 

16 That they might know, that ^ wherewithal a 
man sinneth by the same also shall he be punished.

13 For neither is there any God but thou that 
' careth for all, to whom thou mightest shew that thy 
judgment is not unright. 

14 "^ Neither shall king or tyrant be able to set his 
face against thee for any of whom thou hast punished. 

15 Forsomuch then as thou art righteous thyself, 
thou orderest all things righteously : ' thinking it not 
agreeable with thy power to condemn him that hath 
not deserved to be punished. 

16 For thy power is the beginning of righteous- 
ness, and because thou art the Lord of all, ™ it maketh 
thee to be gracious unto all. 

17 For when men will not believe that thou art of 
\\Or,j}erfect. a || full power, thou shewest thy strength, and among 

them that know it thou makest their boldness manifest. 

18 But thou, mastering thy power, judgest with 
equity, and orderest us with great favour : " for thou 
mayest use power when thou wilt. 

19 But by such works hast thou taught thy peo- 
o Mat. 5, 7. pie that the just man should be ° merciful, and hast 

made thy children to be of a good hope that thou 
givest repentance for sins, 

20 For if thou didst punish the enemies of thy 
children, and the condemned to death, with such de- 
liberation, giving them time and place, whereby they i 
might be delivered from their malice: ) 

21 With how great circumspection didst thou judge \ 
pPs^!05,8, thine own sons, p unto whose fathers thou hast sworn, ( 

and made covenants of good promises.^ i 

22 Therefore, 'i whereas thou dost chasten us, tliou ) 
scourgest our enemies a thousand times more, to the j 
intent that, when we judge we should carefully think 
of thy goodness, and when we ourselves are judged, 
we should look for mercy. ^ 

23 Wherefore, whereas men have lived. dissolutely ) 
and unrighteously, thou hast tormented them with i 
their own || abominations. \ 

24 ■" For they went astray very far in the ways of \ 
Rora. 1,23. error, and' held them for gods, which even among the 

beasts of their enemies were despised, being deceived, 
as children of no understanding. 

25 Therefore unto them, as to children without the 
s Pro. 1,26. use of reason, thou didst send a judgment to *mock 

them. 

26 But they that would not be reformed by that 
correction, wherein he dallied with them, shall feel a 

t Rom. 2, 2. 'judgment worthy of God. 

27 For, look, for what things they grudged, when 
they were punished, that is, for them whom they 
thought to be gods ; [now] being punished in them, 
when they saw it, they acknowledged him to be the 
true God, whom before they denied " to know ; and 
therefore came extreme damnation upon them.

2 For verily desire of gain devised || tht^t, and the 
workman built it by his skill. 

3 But thy providence, O Father, governeth it : for 
thou hast ^ made a way in the sea, and a safe path in 
the waves ; 

4 Shewing that thou canst save from all danger : 
*" yea, though a man went to sea without art. 

5 Nevertheless thou wouldest not that the works of 
thy wisdom should be idle, and therefore do men com- 
mit their lives to a small piece of wood, and passing 
the rough sea in a weak vessel are saved. 

6 •= For in the old time also, when the proud giants 
perished, the hope of the world, governed by thy hand, 
•^ escaped in a weak vessel, and left to all ages a seed 
of generation. 

7 For blessed is the wood whereby righteousness 
cometh. 

8 But* that which is made with hands is cursed, as 
well it, as he that made it : he, because he made it ; 
and it, because being corruptible, it was called god. 

9 ^ For the ungodly and his ungodliness are both 
alike hateful unto God. 

10 For ^ that which is made shall be punished to- 
gether with him that made it. 

1 1 Therefore even || upon the idols of the Gentiles 
shall there be a visitation : because in the creature of 
God they are become an abomination, and ^ f stum- 
Hal.. 2, 18. blinpr-blocks to the souls of men, and a 11 snare to the

feet of the unwise. 

12 For the devising of idols was the beginning of 
sjiiritual fornication, and the invention of them the 
corruption of life. 

13 For neither were they from ' the beginning, nei- 
ther shall tliey be for ever. 

14 For by the vain-glory of men they entered into the 
world, and therefore shall they come shortly to an end. 

15 For a father afflicted with untimely mourning, 
kcb 13, 13. when he hath made '' an image of his child soon taken 

away, now honoured him as a god, which was then a 
dead man, and delivered to those that were under him

his visage from far, and made an express image of a 
king "* whom they honoured, to the end that by this 
their forwardness they might flatter him that was ab- 
sent, as if he were present. 

IS Also the singular diligence of" the artificer did 
help to set forward the Ignorant to more superstition.

earth, and his Hfe of less value than clay : 

11 Forasmuch as he knew not his Maker, and him 
that inspired into him an active soul, ' and breathed 
in a living spirit. 

12 But they counted our life a pastime, and our 
f time here a market for gain : for, say they, we must 
be getting every way, though it be by evil means. 

13 II For this man, that of earthly matter maketh 
^ brittle vessels and graven images, knoweth himself 
to oflend above all others. 

14 And all the enemies of thy people, that hold 
them in subjection, are most foolish, and are more 
miserable than very babes. 

15 For they counted all the idols of the heathen to 
be gods : which neither have the use of eyes to see, 
nor noses to draw || breath, nor ears to hear, nor fin- 
gers of hands to handle ; and as for their feet, they 
are slow to go. 

16 For ' man made them, and he that borrowed 
his own spirit fashioned them : but no man can make 
a god like unto himself. 

17 For being mortal, he worketh *" a dead thing 
with wicked hands : for he himself is better than the 
things which he worshippeth : whereas he lived once, 
but they never. 

18 Yea, they worshipped those " beasts also that 
are most hateful : for being compared together, some 
are worse than others. 

19 Neither are they beautiful, so much as 1o be de- 
sired in respect of beasts : but they went without the 
praise of God and his blessing. 

CHAPTER XVI. 

2 God gave strange meat to his people, to stir up their appetite, and 
vile beasts to their enemies, to take it from them : 5 He .stung 
them witn his serpents, 12 but soon healed them by his word only. 
17 The creatures altered their nature to pleasure God's people, 
and to offend their enemies. 

=^rpHEREFORE by the like were they punished 
JL worthily, and by the multitude of beasts ^ tor- 
mented. 

2 Instead of which punishment, dealing graciously 
with thine own people, thou preparedst for them meat 
of a strange taste, even *^ quails to stir up their appetite : 

3 To the end that they, desiring food, might, '' for 
the ugly sight of the beasts sent among them, loathe 
even that which they must needs desire ; but these, 
sufiering penury for a short space, might be made 
partakers of a strange taste. 

4 For it was requisite, that upon them exercising 
tyranny should come penury, which they could not 
avoid : but to these it should only be shewed how 
their enemies were tormented. 

5 For when the horrible fierceness of beasts came 
upon II these, and they perished with the ^ stings of 
crooked serpents, thy wrath endured not for ever : 

6 But they were troubled for a small season, that 
they might be admonished, having a ^ sign of salva- 
tion, to put them in remembrance of the command- 
ment of thy law. 

7 For he that turned himself towards it was not 
saved by the thing that he saw, but by thee, s that art 
the Saviour of all. 

8 And in this thou madest thine enemies confess, 
that it is thou who deliverest from all evil :

killed, neither was there found any remedy for their 
life : for they were worthy to be punished by such. 

10 But thy sons not tke very teeth of venomous 
dragons overcame : for thy mercy was ever by them, 
' and healed them. 

1 1 For they were f pricked, that they should re- 
member thy words : and were quickly saved, that not 
falling into deep forgetfulness, they might be || con- 
tinually mindful of thy goodness. 

12 For it was neither herb, nor mollifying plaster 
that restored them to health : but thy word, O Lord, 
which healeth all things. 

13 For thou hast pov/er of life and death: thou 
^ leadest to the gates of hell, and bringest up again. 

14 A man indeed killeth through his malice : and 
the spirit, when it is gone forth, returneth not ; ' nei- 
ther the soul received up cometh again. 

15 But it is not possible to escape thine hand. 

16 ■" For the ungodly, that denied to know thee, y Ex. 9,23. 
were scourged by the strength of thine arm : with °^ • ' • 
strange rains, hails, and showers, were they perse- 
cuted, that they could not avoid ; and through fire 

were they consumed. 

17 For, which is most to be wondered at, the fire 
had more force in the water, that quencheth all things : 

for the world " fighteth for the righteous. 20^"^^' ^' 

18 For some time the flame was mitigated, that it Rev. 12,16. 
might not burn up " the beasts that were sent against och.ll,l7, 
the ungodly ; but themselves might see and perceive '^" 

that they were persecuted with the judgment of God. 

19 And at another time it burneth even in the 
midst of water above the power of fire, that it might 
destroy the fruits of an unjust land. 

20 '' Instead whereof thou feddest thine own people P Ex. le, 
with angels' food, and didst send them from heaven Num.11 7

21 For thy 1 || sustenance declared thy sweetness |j[J"dg.6,4

22 ■■ But snow and ice endured the fire, and melted 
not, that they might know that fire burning in the 
hail, and sparkling in the rain, did destroy the fruits 
of the enemies. 

23 But this again did even forget his own strength 
that * the righteous might be nourished. . 

24 For the creature that serveth thee, who art the ' 
Maker, increaseth his strength against the unrighteous 
for their punishment, and abateth his strength for the 
benefit of such as put their trust in thee. 

25 Therefore even then was it altered into all 
II fashions, and was obedient to thy grace, that nour- 
isheth all things, according to the desire of || them 
that had need • 

26 That thy children, O Lord, whom thou lovest, 

might know, that * it is not the growing of fruits that iP^"*A^ 
nourisheth man : but that it is thy word, which pre- ^ • ' ' 
serveth them that put their trust in thee. 

27 For that which was not destroyed of the fire, " be- 
ing warmed with a little sun-beam, soon melted away : 

23 That it might be known, " that we must pre- 
vent the sun to give thee thanks, and at the day- 130, 6.

them with heavy countenances. J 

5 No power of the fire might give them light : 
** neither could the bright flames of the stars endure to 
lighten that horrible night. 

6 Only there appeared unto them a fire kindled of 
itself, very dreadful : for being much terrified, they 
thought the things which they saw to be worse tlvan 
the sight they saw not. 

7 - As for the illusions of art magic, they were put 
down, and their vaunting in wisdom was reproved ( 
with disgrace. ( 

8 For they that promised to drive away terrors and ^ 
troubles from a sick soul, were sick themselves of fear, ( 
worthy to be laughed at. 

9 For though no terrible thing did fear them ; yet 
being scared ^ with beasts that passed by, and hissing 
of serpents, 

10 They died for fear, || denying that they saw the 
air, which could of no side be avoided. 

11 For wickedness, condennied by her own wit- 
Dan. 5,0. ness, s is very timorous, and being pressed with con- 
science, alwa3S forecasteth grievous things. 

12 For fear is nothing else but a betraying of the J 
succours which reason ofi'ereth. ( 

13 And the expectation from within, being less, f 
» counteth the ignorance more than the cause which f 

bringeth the torment. ( 

14 But they sleeping the same sleep that night, f 
\\ which was indeed intolerable, and which came upon > 

'jg ' them out of the botton)s of inevitable hell, ( 

15 Were partly vexed with '' monstrous apparitions, \ 
and partly fainted, ' their heart failing them : for a 
sudden fear, and not looked for, came upon them. 

IG So then whosoever there fell down was straitly 
kept, shut up in a prison without iron bars. 

17 For whether he were husbandman, or shepherd, 
II Or, desert, or a labourer in the || field, he was overtaken, and en- 
dured that necessit}', which could not be avoided : for 

k2Peter2, they were all bound with '' one chain of darkness. 

18 Whether it were a whistling wind, or a melo- 
dious noise of birds among the spreading branches, or 
a pleasing fall of water running violently, 

19 Or a II terrible sound of stones cast down, or a 
running that could not be seen of skipping beasts, or 
a roaring voice of ' most savage wild beasts, or a re- 

"TvJ,^' I'ou'iding echo from the hollow mountains; '"these

grievous than the darkness. 

CHAPTER XVIII. 

4 ■\\Tiy Egypt was punished wilh darkness, 5 and with the death of 
their children. 18 They themselves saw the cause thereof 20 
God also plagued his own people. 21 By what means that plague 
was stayed. 

NEVERTHELESS thy saints had a very great 
^ light, whose voice they hearing, and not see- a Ex. lo 
ing their shape, because they also had not suflered the 
same things, they counted them "^ happy. 

2 But for that they did not hurt them now, of whom 
they had been wronged before, the}' thanked them, and 
besought them pardon for that they had been enemies. 

3 "^ Instead whereof thou gavest them a burning cEx. 13,21 
pillar of fire, both to be a gxiide of the unknown jour- p^ '78^4 
ney, and an harmless sun to entertain them honourably. & ioa,'39. 

4 For they were worthy to be deprived of light, 

and imprisoned in darkness, who had kept thy '' sons d Ex. 4, 22 

shut up, by whom the jj uncorrupt light of the law was ^q,. ,„^o^. 

to be given unto the world. rupilbk. 

5 * And when they had determined to slay the e Ex. 1,16 
babes of the saints, "^ one child being cast forth, and fEx. 2, 2. 
saved, to reprove them, thou tookest away the multi- 
tude of their children, and destroyedst them altogether 

in a mighty water. 

6 s Of that night were our fathers certified afore, gEx. 11,4, 
that assuredly knowing unto what oaths they had giv- ^' 

en credence, they might afterward be of good cheer. 

7 So of thy people was accepted both ''the salva- h Ex. 15,2 
tion of the righteous, and ' destruction of the enemies, i Ex. 15, 4. 

8 For wherewith thou didst punish our adversaries, 
b}- the same thou didst glorify us, whom thou hadst 
called. 

9 '' For the righteous children of good men did sa- 
crifice secretly, and with one consent made jj a holy 
law, that the saints should be alike partakers of the "auto/God. 
same good and evil, the fathers now singing out the "ee Psfso, 
songs of praise. ^■ 

10 But on the other side there sounded an ill-ac 
cording cry of the enemies, ' and a lamentable noise lEx. 12,30 
was carried abroad for children that were bewailed. 

11 '" The master and the servant were punished af- 
ter one manner ; and like as the king, so suffered the 
common person. 

12 So they all together " had innumerable dead n Ex. 12, 
with one kind of death : neither were the living suffi- •^'^• 
cient to bury them : for in one moment the noblest 
offspring of them was destroyed. 

13 For whereas they would not believe any thing 

by reason of " the enchantments ; upon the destruction o Ex. 7, n 
of the first-born, they acknowledged this people to be 
the sons of God. 

14 For while all things were in quiet silence, and 
that night was in the midst of her swift course, 

15 Thine Almighty word leaped down from hea- 
ven out of thy royal throne, as a fierce p man of war pEx. 15, .^, 
into the midst of a land of destruction, 

16 And brought thine unfeigned commandment as 
a sharp sword, and standing up filled all things with 
death ; and it touched the heaven, but it stood upon 
the earth. 

17 •) Then suddenly || visions of horrible dreams 
troubled tliem sore, and terrors came upon them un- 
locked for.

18 And one thrown here, and another there, half ^ 
dead, shewed the cause of his death. 

19 For the dreams that troubled them did "■ fore- 
shew this, lest they should perish, and not know why 
they were afflicted. 

20 Yea, the tasting of death touched the righteous 
also, and there was a destruction of the * multitude in 
the wilderness : but ' the wrath endured not long. 

21 For then the blameless man made haste, and 
stood forth to defend them ; and bringing the shield 
of his proper ministry, even prayer, and the propitia- 
tion of incense, set himself against the wrath, and so 
brought the calamity to an end, declaring that he was 
thy servant. 

22 So he overcame the destroyer, not with strength ^ 
of body, nor force of arms, but with a word subdued 
he him that punished, " alleging the oaths and cove- 
nants made with the fathers. 

23 For when the dead were now fallen down by 
heaps one upon another, ^ standing between, he stay- 
ed the wrath, and || parted the way to the living. 

24 ^ For in the long garment was the whole world, ^ 
and in the four rows of the stones was the glory of the ^ 
fathers graven, and thj' Majesty upon the diadem of ^ 
his head. / 

25 Unto these the destroyer gave place, and was \ 
afraid of them : for it was enough that they only tast- ( 
ed of '^ the wrath. \

AS for the ungodly, ^ wrath came upon them with- * 

out mercy unto the end : for he knew before \ 

what they would do ; ^ 

2 How that having given them leave to depart, and j 
b Ex. 14, 6. sent them hastily away, ^ they would repent, and pur- ^ 

sue them. ^ 

3 For whilst they were *^ yet mourning and making i 
lamentation at the graves of the dead, they added J 
another foolish device, and pursued them as fugitives, t 
whom they had || entreated to be gone. } 

4 For the destiny, whereof they were worthy, drew ^ 
them unto this end, and made them forget the things ^ 
that had already happened, that they might fulfil the ) 
punishment which was wanting to their torments : ^ 

5 And that thy people might pass ^ a wonderful i 
way . but they might find a strange death. ) 

6 For ^ the whole creature in his proper kind was ' 
fashioned again anew, serving the peculiar command- 5 
inents that were giv«n unto them, that thy children \ 
might be kept without hurt : ^ 

7 As namely, ^ a cloud shadowing the camp ; and i 
where water stood before, dry land appeared ; and jl

out of the Red Sea ^ a way without impediment; and ffPs.78, 13 
out of the violent stream a green field : 

8 Wherethrough all the people went that were de- 
fended with thy hand, seeing thy marvellous strange 
wonders. 

9 For they went at large like horses, and leaped 
like lambs, praising thee, O Lord, who hadst de- 
livered them. 

10 For they were yet mindful of the things that 
were done while they sojourned in the strange land, 
how the ground brought forth || flies instead of cattle, 
and how '' the river cast up a multitude of frogs in- 
stead of fishes. 

11 But afterward they saw a new generation of 
fowls, when, being led with their appetite, they ask- 
ed delicate meats. 

12 For quails came up unto them from the sea, for 
their || contentment. 

13 And punishments came upon the sinners, not 
without former signs by the force of thunders : for 
they suffered justly according to their own wicked- 
ness, insomucii as tiiey used a moi-e hard and hateful 
behaviour towards strangers. 

14 For ' tlie Sodomites did not receive those, whom '^|°- '^' 
they knew not wiien they came: but these brought ' 
friends into bondage, that had well deserved of them. 

15 And not only so, but peradventure some respect 
shall be had of those, because they used strangers not 
friendly : 

16 But these very grievously afflicted them, whom 
they had received with feastings, and were already 
made partakers of the same laws with them. 

17 Therefore even wltli blindness were these strick- 
en, '' as those were at the doors of the righteous man : 
when, being compassed about with horrible great dark- 
ness, every one sought the passage of his own doors. 

18 For the elements were changed f in themselves t Gv.by 
by a kind of harmony, like as, in a psaltery, notes ''™""'^*- 
change the name of the tune, and yet are always 
sounds ; which may well be perceived by the sight of 

the things that have been done. 

19 ' For earthy things were turned into watery, 
and the things that before swam in the water, now 
went upon the ground. 

20 "' The fire had power in the water, forgetting mch. 16, 
his own virtue : and the water forgat his own quench- 
ing nature. 

21 On the other side, the flames wasted not the flesh 
of the corruptible living things, though they walked 
therein ; " neither melted they the icy kind of heaven- 
ly meat, that was of nature apt to melt. 

22 For in all things, O Lord, thou didst » magnify '^^^- '48, 
thy people, and glorify them, neither didst thou light- 
ly regard them : but didst assist them in every time

THE WISDOM OF JESUS THE SON OF SIRACH, 

ECCLESIASTICUS. 



A Prologue made by an uncertain Author. 

THIS Jesus was the son of Sirach, and grandchild to Jesus of the same name with him : this man therefore iWed 
in the latter times, after the people had been led away captive, and caHed home again, and almost after all the 
prophets. Now his grandfather Jesus, as he himself witnesseth, was a man of great diligence and wisdom among the 
Hebrews, who did not only gather the grave and short sentences of wise men, that had been before him, but himself 
also uttered some of his own^, full of much understanding and wisdom. When as therefore the first Jesus died, leav- 
ing this book almost || perfected, Sirach his son receiving it after him, left it to his own son Jesus, who having gotten 
it into his hands, compiled it all orderly into one volume, and called it Wisdom, entitling it both by his own name, his 
father's name, and his grandfather's ; alluring the hearer by the very name of AVisdom to have a greater love to the 
s'udy of this book. It containeth therefore wise sayings, dark sentences, and parables, and certain particular ancient 
godly stories of men that pleased God ; also his prayer and song ; moreover, what benefits God had vouchsafed his 
people, and what plagues he had heaped upon their enemies. This Jesus did imitate Solomon, and was no less fa- 
mous for wisdom and learning, both being indeed a man of great learning, and so reputed also.

The Prologue of the Wisdom of Jesus, the son of Sirach. 

WHEREAS many and great things have been delivered unto us by the law and the prophets, and by others that have 
followed their steps, for the which things Israel ought to be commended for learning and wisdom ; and whereof 
not only the readers must needs become skilful themselves, but also they that desire to learn be able to profit them 
which are || without, both by speaking and writing: my grandfather Jesus, when he had much given himself to the 
reading of the law, and the prophets, and other books of our fathers, and had gotten therein good judgment, was 
drawn on also himself to write something pertaining to learning and wisdom ; to the intent that those which are de- 
sirous to learn, and are addicted to these things, might piofit much more in living according to the law. Wherefore 
let me entreat you to read it with favour and attention, and to pardon us, wherein we may seem to come short of some 
words which we have laboured to interpret. For the same things uttered in Hebrew, and translated into another 
tongue, have not the same force in them : and not only these things, but the law itself, and the 1 prophets, and the fGr. poo- 
rest of the books, have no small || diflerence, when they are spoken in their own language. For in the eight and M'^"'!*- 
thirtieth year coming into Egypt, when Euergetes was king, and continuing there some time, I found a || book of no \\0\;heti. vf 
small learning : therefore I thought it most necessary for mc to bestow some diligence and travail to interpret it ; '-""""'if 
using great watchfulness and skill in that space to bring the book to an end, and set it forth for them also, which in a 
strange country are willing to learn, being prepared before in manners to live after the law.

wisdom ; and her ways are everlasting commandments. 

6 ^ To whom hath the root of wisdom been reveal- 
ed .'* or who hath known her wise counsels.'' 

7 [Unto whom hath the knowledge of wisdom been 
made manifest .'* and who hath understood h.er great 
experience .''] 

8 There is " one wise and greatly to be feared, the J 
Lord sitting upon his throne. ( 

9 He created her, and saw her, and numbered her, ^ 
and poured her out upon all his works. ( 

10 She is with all llesh according to his gift, "^ and ^ 
he hath given her to them that love him. ^ 

11 The fear of the Lord is honour, and glory-, and ^ 
gladness, and a crown of rejoicing. ' 

12 The fear of the Lord maketh a merry heart, / 
and giveth joy, and gladness, and a long life. J 

13 Whoso fearcth the Lord, it shall go well with f 
liim at the last, and he || shall find favour in the day ^ 
of his death, ' 



14 ^ To fear the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: 
and it was created with the faithful in the womb. 

15 She hath built an everlasting foundation with 
men, and she shall continue ^ with their seed. 

16 To fear the Lord is fulness of wisdom, and fill- 
eth men with her fruits. 

17 She filleth all their house with things desirable, 
and the garners with her increase. 

18 The fear of the Lord is ' a crown of wisdom, 
making peace and perfect health to flourish ; both 
which are the gifts of God : and it enlargeth their re- 
joicing that love him. 

19 Wisdom raineth down skill and knowledge of 
understanding, and exalteth them to honour that hold 
her fast. 

20 The root of wisdom is ^ to fear the Lord, and 
the branches thereof are long life. 

21 The fear of the Lord driveth away sins : and 
where it is present, it turnetli away wrath, 

22 A furious man cannot (| be justified ; for the 
swa}' of his fury shall be his destruction. 

23 ' A patient man will bear for a time, and after- 
ward joy shall spring up unto him. 

24 He will hide his words for a time, and the lips 
of many shall declare his wisdom. 

25 The parables of knowledge are in the trea- 
sures of wisdom : but godliness is an abomination to 
a sinner. 

26 If thou desire wisdom, keep the commandments, 
"' and the Lord shall give her unto thee. 

27 For the fear of the Lord is wisdom and instruc- 
tion : and faith and meekness are his delight

3 Riches are not comely for a niggard : and what 
should an envious man do with money ?

5 He that is evil to himself, to whom will he be 
good .'' he shall not take pleasure in his goods. 

6 There is none worse than he that envieth him- 
self; and this is a recompence of his wickedness. 

7 And if he doeth good, he doeth it unwillingly ; 
and at the last he will declare his wickedness. 

8 '^ The envious man hath a wicked eye ; he turn- 
eth away his face, and despiseth men. 

9 A * covetous man's eye is not satisfied with his 
portion ; and the iniquity of the wicked drieth up his soul.

niggard at his table.

thyself, and give the Lord his due offering.

3 With ^ the bread of understanding shall she feed

5 '^ She shall exalt him above his neighbours, and in 
the midst of the congregation shall she open his mouth. 

6 He shall find joy and a crown of gladness, and 
she shall cause him to inherit '^ an everlasting name. 

7 But foolish men shall not attain unto her, and 
sinners shall not see her. 

8 For she is far from pride, and men that are liars 
cannot remember her.

17,21. 2j. 2 Trust not thou in their life, neidier respect their 
multitude : for one tiiat is Just is better dian a thousand; 
and belter it is to die without children, than to have 
them that are ungodly. 

4 For by one that hath understanding shall the city 
ii Or, tribe, be replenished : but the || kindred of the wicked shall 

speedily become desolate. 

5 Many such things have I seen \\ith mine eyes, 
and mine oar hath heard greater things than these. 

G '' In the congregation of the ungodly shall a fire be 
kindled ; and in a rebellious nation wratii || is set on fire. 

7 He was not pacified towards the " old giants who 
fell away in the strength of their foolishness. 

8 ** Neither spared he the place where Lot sojourn- 
ed, but abhorred them for their pride. 

9 He pitied not the people of perdition, who were 
taken away in their sins : 

10 *■ Nor the si.x iuuidred thousand footmen, who 
were gathered together in the hardness of their hearts. 

1 1 And if there be one stift-nccked among the peo- 
pje, it is marvel if he escape unpunished : for "^ mercy 
and wradi are with him ; he is mighty to forgive, and 
to pour out displeasure. 

12 As his mercy is great, so is his correction also : 
lie judgeth a man according to his works. 

13 The sinner shall not escape with his spoils : and 
g James 1, s the patience of the godly shall not be frustrate. 

14 Make way for every work of mercy : for every 
man shall find according to his works.

20 No heart can think upon these things worthily :

1 How God created and furnished man. 14 Avoid all sin : 19 for 
God seeth all things. 25 Turn to him while thou livest. 

THE Lord ^ created man of the earth, and turned 
him into it again. 

2 He gave them ^ few da3'S, and a short time, and 
power also over tlie things therein. 

3 He endued them with strength by themselves, 
and " made them according to his image, 

4 And put the fear || of man upon all flesh, ^ and 
gave him dominion over beasts and fowls. 

5 [They received the use of the five operations of 
the Lord, and in the sixth place he imparted them un- 
derstanding, and in the seventh speech, an interpreter 
of tiie cogitations thereof.] 

6 Counsel, and a tongue, and eyes, ears, and a 
heart, gave he them to understand. 

7 Withal he filled them with the knowledge of un- 
derstanding, and shewed them " good and evil. 

8 He set his eye upon their hearts, that he might 
shew them the greatness of his works. 

9 He gave them to glcry in his marvellous acts for 
evei-, ' that they might declare his works with under- 
standing. 

10 And ^ the elect shall praise his holy name. 

1 1 Resides this, he gave them knowledge, and the 
law of life for an iieritage. 

12 He made an '' everlasting covenant with them, 
and shewed them his judgments. 

13 Their eyes saw the majesty of his glory, and 
their ears heard iiis glorious voice. 

14 And he said unto them. Beware of all unright- 
eousness ; and he ' gave every man commandment 
concerning his neighbour. 

15 Their ways are ever before him, and shall not 
be hid from his eyes. 

16 '' Every man from his youth is given to evil ; 
neither could they make to themselves fleshly hearts 
for stony. 

17 For ' in the division of the nations of the whole 
earth, he set a "' ruler over every people ; but ° Israel 
is the Lord's portion : 

18 Whom, "being his first-born, he nourisheth with 
discipline, and, giving him the light of his love, doth 
not forsake him. 

19 Tlierefore all their works are as the sun before 
him, and his eyes are continually upon their ways. 

20 1' None of their unrighteous deeds are hid from 
him, but all their sins are liefore the Lord. 

21 But the Lord being gracious, and knowing his 
workmanship, neither left nor forsook them, but 
spared tliem.

SLOTHFUL man is compared to a filthy stone, aProv.6,6

2 A slothful man is compared to the filth of a dung-

her husband : but she that liveth dishonestly is her 
father's heaviness. 

5 She that is bold dishonoureth both her father and 
her husband, but they both shall despise her. 

6 A tale out of season [is as] music in mourning : but 
'' stripes and correction of wisdom are never out of time. 

7 Whoso teacheth a fool is as one that glueth a pot- 
sherd together, and as be that waketh one from a

8 He that telleth a tale to a fool speaketh to one in 
a slumber : when he hath told his tale, he will say, 
^ What is the matter .''

and weep for the fool, for he wanteth understanding : 
make little weeping for the dead, for he is at rest : but 
the life of the fool is worse than death. 

12 '■ Seven days do men mourn for him that is dead ; 
but for a fool and an ungodly man all the days of his life. 

13 Talk not much with a fool, and go not to him

OLORD, ^ Father and Governor of all my whole 
life, '' leave me not to their counsels, and let me 
not fall by them. 

2 Who will set scourges over my thoughts, and the 
discipline of wisdom over mine heart.'' that they spare 
me not for mine ignorances, and it pass not by ni}' sins : 

3 Lest mine ignorances increase, and my sins 
abound to my destruction, and I fall before mine ad-

hope is far from thy m°-cy. 

4 "^ O Lord, Father and God of my life, give me 
not a proud look, but turn away from thy servants al- 
ways 11 a haughty mind. 

5 Turn away from me vain hopes and concupis- 
cence, and thou slialt hold him up that is desirous al- 
ways to ser\e tiice. 

G "^ Let not the greediness of the belly nor lust of 
the flesh take hold of me ; and give not over me thy 
servant into an impudent mind. 

7 Hear, O ye children, the discipline of the mouth : 
he that keepetli it shall never be taken in his lips. 

8 Tiie sinner shall be left in his foolishness : both 
the evil speaker and the proud shall fall thereby. 

9 * Accustom not thy mouth to swearing ; neither 
use thyself to the naming of the Holy One. 

10 For as a servant that is continually beaten shall 
not be without a blue mark: so he that sweareth and 
nameth God continually shall not be ^ faultless. 

1 1 A man that useth much swearintr shall be filled 
with iniquity, and tlie plague shall never depart from 
his house : if he shall offend, his sin shall be upon him : 
and if he acknowledge not his sin, he maketh a dou- 
ble offence : and if he swear in vain, he shall not be 
f innocent, but his house shall be full of calamities. 

12 There is a word ^ that is clothed about with 
death : God *■ grant that it be not found in the heri- 
tage of Jacob ; for all such things shall be far from 
the godly, and they shall not wallow in their sins. 

13 Use not thy mouth to intemperate swearing, for 
therein is the word of sin. 

14 Remember thy father and thy mother, when 
thou sittest among great men. Be not forgetful be- 
fore them, and so thou by thy custom become a fool, 
and wish that thou liadst not been born, ' and curse 
tlie day of thy nativity.

13 The grace of a wifedelighteth her husband, and 
her discretion will fatten his bones. 

14 A silent and loving woman is a gift of the 
'^See^ProT. Lord ; ' and there is notliing so much worth as a mind 

well instructed. 

15 A shamefaced and a faithful woman is a double

through all the field, sow it with diine own seed, trust- 
ing in the goodness of thy stock. 

21 So thy race which thou leavest ' shall be mag-

22 An harlot shall be accounted as {| spittle, but a 
married woman is a tower against death to her husband. 

23 A wicked woman is given as a portion to a 
wicked man : but a godly woman is given to him that

24 A dishonest woman contemneth shame : " but

25 A shameless woman shall be accounted " as a 
dog; but she tliat is shamefaced will fear the Lord. 

26 A woman ° that honoureth her husband shall be 
judged wise of all; but she that dishonoureth him in 
her pride shall be counted ungodly of all. 

27 A loud cr3ing woman and a scold shall be 
sought out to drive away the enemies. 

23 P There be two things that grieve m}' heart ; and 
the third maketh me angry : a man of war that suffer- 
eth poverty; '• and men of understanding that are not 
set by ; *■ and one that returneth from righteousness to

and before his friends he shall rejoice of him. 

4 Though his father die, yet he is as though he 
were not dead : for he hath left one behind him that is 
like himself. 

5 While he lived, he •= saw and rejoiced in him : 
and when he died, he was not sorrowful. 

6 He left beliind him an avenger against his ene- 
mies, and one that shall '' requite kindness to his friends. 

7 He tiiat maketh too much of his son shall bind 
up his wounds ; and his bowels will be troubled at 
every cry. 

8 An iiorse not broken becomeih headstrong : and 
a child left to liimself will be wilful. 

9 "^ Cocker thy child, and he shall make thee || afraid: 
play with iiim, and he will bring thee to heaviness. 

10 Laugh not witli him, lest tliou have sorrow with 
him, and lest thou gnash thy teeth in the end. 

1 1 ^ Give him no liberty in his youdi, and wink not 
at his follies. 

12 Bow down his neck while he is young, and 
beat him on the sides while he is a child, lest he wax 
stubborn, and be disobedient unto thee, ^ and so bring 
sorrow to thine heart. 

13 ^ Chastise thy son, and hold him to labour, lest 
his lewd behaviour be an ofl'ence unto thee. 

14 Better is the poor, being sound and strong of con- 
stitution, than a rich man that is afflicted in his body.

gold, and a strong body above infinite wealth. 

IG There is no riches above a sound body, and no 
joy above the joy of the heart.

sickness.

secuted of the Lord. 

20 He seeth with his eyes and groaneth, ' as an

3 A man of understanding trusteth in the law ; and 
the law is faithful unto him, || as an oracle. 

4 Prepare what to sa}', and so thou shalt be heard ; 
and bind up instruction, and then make answer.

8 By the knowledge of the Lord they were distin-

9 Some of them hath he made high days, and hal-

10 And all men are from the ground, and ^ Adam ^''''•'^j g_

11 In much knowledge the Lord hath divided

12 " Some of them hath he blessed and exalted, and .f '^""^ ^'

14 ' Good is set against evil, and life against death : i peut. 20

24 Fodder, a wand, and burdens, are for the ass ;

idleness teacheth much evil.

3 The vision of dreams is tlie resemblance of one

4 '^ Of an unclean tiling what can be cleansed .'' and 
from tiiat thing which is false what truth can come.'' 

5 ^ Divinations, and soothsayings, and dreams, are 
vain : and tlie heart fancieih, as a woman's heart in

6 If they be not sent from the jMost High in thy

\ defraudeth him thereof is a man of blood. 

22 He that taketh away his neighbour's living 
slayeth him ; and he that ° defraudeth the labourer of 
his hire is a blood-shedder.

not after thee. 

3 '^ Lift up thy hand \\ against the strange nations,

thee, that there is no God but onh thou, O God. 

6 Shew new signs, and make other strange won- 
ders : glorify thy hand and thy right arm, that they 
may set forth thy wondrous works. 

7 Raise up indignation, ^ and pour out wrath : 
take away the adversary, and destroy the enemy. 

8 ' Z\Iake the time short, remember the j covenant, 
and let them declare thy wonderful v. orks. 

9 Let him that escapeth be consumed by the rage of 
the fire ; and let them perish that oppress the people. 

10 Smite in sunder the heads of the rulers of the 
heathen, that say, There is none other but we. 

11 ^ Gather all the tribes of Jacob totrether, and 
inherit thou them, as from the beginninjr. 

12 Lord, have mercy upon the people that is 
called bj" thy name, and upon Israel, ^ whom thou 
hast named thy first-born. 

13 O be merciful imto Jerusalem, thy holy city, 
the place of thy rest. 

14 Fill Sion || with thine unspeakable oracles, and 
thy people with thy glory. 

15 Give testimony unto those that thou hast pos- 
sessed from the beginning, and raise up jj prophets 
that have been in thy name. 

16 Reward them that Wcdt for thee, and ' let thy 
prophets be found faithful.

CH.\PTER XXXVII. 

1 How to know friends and counsellors. 12 The discret'.on and wis- 
dom of a godly man bicsseth him. 27 Learn to refrain thine appetite. 

^ ERTl friend saith, I am his friend also, but there 

is a friend ^ which is onU' a friend in name. 

2 Is it not a grief unto death, ^ when a companion 
and friend is turned to an enemy .' 

3 O wicked imagination, whence camest thou in to 
cover the earth with deceit .' 

4 "^ There is a companion, which rejoiceth in the 
prosperity of a friend, but in the time of trouble wiU 
be acrainst him. 

.5 There is a companion, ■which lielpeth his friend for 
thebelly, and taketh up the buckler \\ against the enemy. 

6 Forget not tliy friend in thy mind, and be not 
unmindl'ul of liim in thy riches. 

7 Every counsellor estolleth counsel; but there is 
some that counselleth for himself. 

5 '^ Beware of a counsellor, and know before || what 
need he hath ; for he will counsel for himself; lest he 
cast the lot upon thee, 

9 And say unto thee. Thy way is good : and after- 
ward he stand on the other side, to see what shall be- 
fall thee. 

10 Consult not with one that suspecteth thee : and 
hide thy counsel from such as envy thee. 

11 ^NTeither consult with a woman touching lier of 
whom she is ^jealous: neither with a coward in mat- 
ters of war ; nor with a merchant concerning ex- 
change; nor with a bujer of selling; nor with an en- 
vious man of thankfulness ; nor with an unmerciful 
man touching kindness ; nor witli the slothful for any 
work ; nor with an hireling for a 3'ear of finishing 
work ; nor with an idle servant of much business : 
' hearken not unto these in any matter of counsel. 

12 = But be continually with a godly man, whom 
thou knowest to keep the commandments of the Lord, 
whose mind is according to thy mind, and will sor- 
row with thee, if thou shall miscarry. 

13 And let the counsel of thine own heart stand : 
for there is no man more faithful unto thee than it. 

14 For a man's mind is sometime wont to tell him 
more than seven watchmen, that sit above in an high 
tower. 

15 And ^ above all this pray to the Most High, 
that he will direct thy way in truth. 

16 Let reason go before every enterprise, and 
counsel before every action. 

1 7 The countenance is a sign of changing of the heart. 

18 Four manner of things appear : 'good and evil, life 
and death : but the tongue ruleth over them continually. 

19 There is one that is wise and teacheth many, 
and \et is unprofitable to himself. 

20' There is one that sheweth wisdom in words, 
and is hated : he shall be destitute of all 1| food. 

21 "^ For grace is not given him from the Lord ; 
because he is deprived of all wisdom. 

22 Another is wise to himself; and the fiaits of 
understanding are commendable in his mouth.

for thy heaviness. 

18 For of heaviness cometh death, and the heavi- 
ness of tiie ' heart breaketh strength. 



19 In affliction also sorrow remaineth : and the life 
of the poor is the curse of the heart. 

20 "^ Take no heaviness to heart : drive it away, 
and remember the last end. 

21 Forget it not, for there is no turning again : 
tliou shall not do him good, but hurt thyself. 

22 Remember II my judgment: for tliine also shall 
be so ; yesterday for me, and to-day for thee. 

23 ' When the dead is " at rest, let his remem- 
brance rest; and be comforted for him, when his 
spirit is departed from him. 

24 The wisdom of a learned man cometh by op- 
portunitv of leisure : and he that hath little business 
shall become wise. 

25 How can he get wisdom that holdeth the plow, 
and that glorleth in the goad, that driveth oxen, and is 
occupied in their labours, and whose talk isf of bullocks.'' 

26 " He glveth his mind to make furrows ; and is 
diligent to give the kine fodder. 

27 So every carpenter and workmaster, that la- 
bouredi niaht and day : and they that cut and grave 
seals, and are diligent to make great variety, and 
give tiiemselves to counterfeit imagery, and watch to 
finish a work : 

28 The smith also sitting by the anvil, and consid- 
ering ° the iron work, the vapour of the fire wastelh 
his llesh, and lie fighteth with tlie heat of the furnace: 
the noise of the hammer and the anvil is ever in his 
ears, and his eyes look still upon the pattern of the 
thing that he maketh ; he setteih his mind to finish his 
work, and watcheth to polish it perfectly : 

29 So doth the p potter sitting at his work, and turn- 
ing the wiieel about with his feet, who is always care- 
fulh" set at his work, and maketh all his work by number; 

30 He fashloneth the clay with his arm, and || bow- 
elh down his strength before his feet ; he applleth 
himself to lead it over; and he is diligent to make 
clean liie furnace : 

31 All these trust to their hands : and every one is 
wi^e in his work. 

32 Without these cannot a city be inhabited : and they 
shall not dwell where tiiey will, nor go up and down. 

33 Tiiey shall not be sought for in public council, 
nor sit high '^ in the congregation : the\- shall not sit 
on the judges' seat, nor understand the sentence of judg- 
ment : the\' cannot declare justice and judgment ; and 
they shall not be found where parables are spoken. 

34 But they will maintain the state of the world, 
and [all] their desire is in the work of their "" craft.

8 There be of them, that have left '' a name behind 
them, that their praises might be ^ reported. 

9 And some there be, which have no memorial ; 
^ who are perished, as though tliey had never been ; 
and are become as though tliey had never been born ; 
and their children after them. 

10 But these were merciful men, whose righteous- 
ness hath not been forgotten. 

11 With their seed shall continually remain a good 
inheritance, ^ and their children are within tlie covenant. 

12 Tlieir seed standeth fast, and their children || for 
their sakes. 

13 Their seed shall remain for ever, and their glory 
shall not be blotted out. 

14 Tlicir bodies are buried '' in peace; but their 
name liveth for evermore. 

15 ' The people will tell of their wisdom, and the 
congregation will shew forth their praise. 

16 '' Enoch pleased the Lord, and was translated, 
being an example of repentance to all generations. 

17 ' Noah was found perfect and righteous; in the 
time of wrath he was taken in e.vchange [for the 
world ;] therefore was he left as a remnant unto the 
earlli, when tiie flood came. 

18 An "' everlasting covenant was made with hiin, 
that all flesli should perish no more by the flood. 

19 Abraiiam was a " great father of many people : 
in glory was there none like unto him ; 

20 Wiio kept the law of the Most High, and was in 
covenant with him : he established the covenant in " his 
flesh ; and «iien he was proverl, lie was found faithful. 

21 Therefore he assured him by an p oath, that he 
would bless the nations in his seed, and that he would 
multiply hiu) as the dust of the earth, and e.valt his seed 
as the stars, and cause tliein to inherit from sea to sea, 
and from the river unto the utmost part of the land. 

22 •• With Isaac did he establish likewise [for Abra- 
ham his father's sake] the blessing of all men, and the 
covenant, 

23 And made it rest upon the head of "■ Jacob. He 
acknowledged liim in his blessing, and gave him an 
heritage, and divided his portions ; among the twelve 
tribes did lie part them. 

CHAPTER XLV. 

1 The praise of Moses, 6 of Aaron, 2.S and of PLinees. 

AND lie brought out of iiim a merciful man, which 
found favour in the sight of all flesh, even " Moses, 
beloved of God and men, whose memorial is blessed. 

2 He made him like to the glorious saints, and 
magnified him, ^ so that his enemies stood in fear 
of him. 

3 By his words he caused the wonders to cease, and 
he made him "^ glorious in the sight of kings, and gave 
him a commandment for his people, and shewed him 
part of his glor}'. 

4 He sanctified him in his faithfulness ^ and meek- 
ness, and chose him out of all men. 

5 He made him to hear his voice, and brought him 
into the dark cloud, and * gave him commandments 
before his face, even tiie law of life and knowledge, 
that he might teach Jacob his ' covenants, and Is- 
rael his judgments. 

6 He ^ exalted Aaron, an holy man like unto him, 
even his brother, of tiie tribe of Levi. 

7 An everlasting covenant he made with him, and 
gave him the priesthood among the people ; f he beau- 



tified him with comely ornaments, and clothed him 
with a robe of glory. 

8 He put upon him perfect glory; and strengthen- 
ed him with f rich garments, with breeches, with a 
long robe, and the ephod. 

9 And he compassed him with pomegranates, and 
with many golden bells round about, that as he went 
there might be a '' sound, and a noise made that might 
be heard in the temple, for a memorial to the children 
of his people ; 

10 With an holy garment, with gold, and blue silk, 
and purple, the work of the embroiderer, with a breast- 
plate of judgment, and with ' Urim and Thummim ; 

1 1 With twisted scarlet, the work of the cunning 
workman, with precious stones graven like seals, and 
set in gold, the work of the jeweller, with a writing 
engraved for a memorial, '' after the number of the 
tribes of Israel. 

12 He set a crown of gold upon the mitre, ' wherein 
was engra\ ed Holiness, an ornament of honour, a cost- 
ly work, the desires of the e}es, goodly and beautiful. 

1 3 Before him there were none such, neither did 
ever any stranger put tlicin on, but only his children 
and hi>: children's children perpetually. 

14 Their sacrifices shall be wholly consumed "" every 
day twice coniinuall}'. 

15 " Moses consecrated him, and anointed him with 
holy oil : this was appointed unto him by an everlast- 
ing covenant, and to his seed, so long as the heavens 
should remain, that they should minister unto him, 
and execute the oflice of the priesthood, and bless the 
people in his name. 

IG " He chose him out of all men living to ofler sa- 
crifice to the Lord, incense, and a sweet savour, for a 
memorial, to make reconciliation for his people. 

17 '' Me gave unto liim his commandments, and au- 
thority in the statutes of judgments, that he should teach 
Jacob the testimonies, and inform Israel in his laws. 

IS '' Strangers conspired together against him, and 
maligned him in the wilderness, even the men that 
were of Dathan's and Abiron's side, and the congrega- 
tion of Core, with fury and wrath. 

19 This the Lord saw, and it displeased him, "■ and 
in his wrathful indignation were they consumed: he 
did wonders upon them, to consume them with the 
fiery flame. 

20 * But he made Aaron more honourable, and 
gave him an heritage, and divided unto him the first- 
fruits of the increase; especially he prepared bread 
in abundance: 

21 For tiiey ate of the sacrifices of the Lord, which 
he gave unto him and his seed. 

22 ' Howbeit, in the land of the people he had no 
inheritance, neither had he any portion among the peo- 
ple : for the Lord himself is his portion and inheritance. 

23 " The third in glory is Phinees the son of Elea- 
zar, because he had zeal in the fear of the Lord, and 
stood up with good courage of heart when the people 
were turned back, and made reconciliation for Israel. 

24 " Therefore was there a covenant of peace made 
with him, that he should be the chief of the sanctuary 
and of his people, and that he and his posterity should 
have the dignity of the priesthood for ever: 

25 y According to the covenant made with David 
son of Jesse, of the tribe of Juda, that the inheritance 
of the king should be to his posterity alone : so the

6 And with '^ hailstones of mighty power he made

resisted, that the nations might know all their strength,

7 " In the time of Moses also he did a work of

CHAPTER L. 

1 Of Siraon the son of Onias. 22 How the people were taught to 
praise God, and pray. 27 'ri)e conclusion. 

MON * the high priest, the son of Onias, who in 
his life repaired the house again, and in his days 
fortified the temple : 

2 And by him was built from the foundation the 
double height, the high fortress of the wall about the 
temple : 

3 In his daj^s the ^ cistern to receive water, being 
in compass as the sea, was covered with plates of brass : 

4 lie took care of the temple that it should not fall, 
and fortified the city against besieging : 

5 How was he honoured in the midst of the people 
in his coming out off the sanctuary ! 

6 He was as the morning-star in the midst of a 
cloud, and as the moon at the full : 

7 As the sun shining upon the temple of the Most 
High, and as "^ the rainbow giving light in the bright 
clouds : 

8 And as the flower of roses in the spring of the 
year, as lilies by the rivers of waters, and as the 
branches of the frankincense-tree in the time of summer: 

dRev. 8, 3. 9 As fire and incense in the '^ censer, and as a vessel 
of beaten gold set with all manner of precious stones: 

10 And as a fair olive-tree budding forth fruit, and 
as a cypress-tree which groweth up to the clouds. 

11 When he put on tne robe of^ honour, ^ and was 
clothed with the perfection of glory, when he went up 
to the holy altar, he made the garment of holiness 
honourable. 

12 When he took the portions out of the priests' 
hands, he himself stood by the hearth of the altar, 
compassed with his brethren round about, '^ as a 3'oung 
cedar in Libanus ; and as palm-trees compassed they 
him round about. 

13 So were all the sons of Aaron in their glory, 
and the oblations of the Lord in their hands, before 
all the congregation of Israel. 

14 And finishing the service at the altar, that he 
might adorn the offering of the most high Almighty. 

15 He stretched out his hand to the cup, and pour- 
ed of the blood of the grape ; he poured out at the 
foot of the altar ^ a sweet-smelling savour unto the 
most high King of all. 

16 Then shouted the sons of Aaron, and sounded 
the II silver trumpets, and made a great noise to be 
heard, for a remembrance before the Most High. 

17 Then all the people together hasted, and ''fell 
down to the earth upon their faces to worship their 
Lord God Almighty, the Most High. 

18 The singers also sang praises with their voices, 
with great variety of sounds was there made sweet 
melody. 

19 And the people besought the Lord, the Most 
High, by prayer before hira that is merciful, till the 
solemnity of the Lord was ended, and they ' had 
finished his service. 

20 Then he went down, "^ and lifted up his hands 
over the whole congregation of the children of Israel, 
to give the blessing of the Lord with his lips, and to 
rejoice in his name. 

21 And they bowed themselves down to worship 
the second time, that they might receive a blessing 
from the Most High. 

22 Now therefore bless ye the God of all, which

CHAPTER LI. 

IT A prayer of .Tesns the son of Sirach. 

I WILL thank thee, O Lord and King, " and praise aPs. 133, 1 
thee, O God my Saviour : I do give praise unto 
thy name : 

2 For thou art my defender and helper, and hast 
preserved my body from destruction, and from the 
snare of the slanderous tongue, and from the lips that 
forge lies, and hast been mine helper against mine 
adversaries : 

3 And hast delivered me, ^ according to the multi- l>Ps. 51, 1 
tude of thy mercies and greatness of thy name, from 
f the teeth of tliem that were ready to devour me, and 
out of the hands of such as sought after my life, and 
from the manifold afflictions which I had ; 

4 From the choking of fire on every side, and from 
the midst of the fire which I kindled not; 

5 From the depth of "^ the belly of hell, from an un- 
clean tongue, and from lying words. 

6 By an accusation to the king from an unrighte- 
ous tong-ue, my soul drew near even unto death, my 
life was near to the hell beneath. 

7 They compassed me on every side, and there 

was no man to help me : ''I looked for the succour of ^ ^^- ^42> 
men, but there was none. 

8 Then thought I upon thy mercy, O Lord, and 
upon thy acts of old, how thou deliverest such as wait 
for thee, and savest them out of the hands of the enemies. 

9 Then lifted I up my supplication from the earth, 
and prayed for deliverance from death. 

10 I called upon the Lord, the Father of my Lord, ePs.llO, 1 
that he would not leave me in the days of my trouble, 

and in the time of the proud, when there was no help. 

11 I will praise thy name continually, and will 
sing praise with thanksgiving; || and so my prayer 
was heard : 

12 For thou ''savedst me from destruction, and de- 
liveredst me from the evil time: therefore will I give 
thanks, and praise thee, and bless thy name, O Lord. 

13 s When I was yet young, or ever I || went ^^™-^^^/' 
abroad, I desired wisdom openly in my prayer. astray.

CHAPTER L 

1 Barucn wrote a book in Babylon. 5 The Jews there wept at the 
reading of it. 7 They send money and llie book to the brethren at 
Jerusalem. 

AND these are the words of the book, which 
'• Baruch the son of Nerias, the son of Maasias, 
the son of Sedecias,thesonofAsadias,the son of Chel- 
cias, wrote in Bab) ion. 

2 In the fifiii year, and in the seventh day of the 
month, what time as '' the Chaldeans took Jerusalem, 
and burnt it with fire. 

3 And Barucli did read the words of this book in 
the hearing of Jechonias the son of H Joaciiini king of 
Juda, and in the ears of all the people that came to 
hear the book, 

4 And in the hearing of the nobles, and of the 
king's sons, and in the hearing of the elders, and of 
all the people, from the lowest unto the highest, even 
of all them that dwelt at Babylon by the river Sud. 

5 Whereupon they "^ wept, fasted, || and prayed be- 
fore tlie Lord. 

6 They made also a collection of money according 
to every man's power : 

7 And they sent it to Jerusalem unto || Joachim 
the high priest, the son of Chelcias, son of Salom, and 
to the priests, and to all tiie people which were found 
with him at Jerusalem, 

8 At the same time when he received the vessels of 
the house of the Lord, '^ that were carried out of the 
temple, to return them into the land of Juda, the tenth 
day of tlie month Sivan, namely, silver vessels, wliich 
Sedecias the son of Josias king of Juda had made, 

9 After tiiat Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon had 
carried away Jechonias, and the princes, and the || cap- 
tives, and the migiity men, and the people of tlic land, 
from Jerusalem, and brought them unto Babylon. 

10 And tiiey said. Behold, we have sent you mo- 
ney to buy you burnt-ofl'eriugs, and sin-oflerings, and 
incense, and prepare ye f manna, and offer upon the 
altar of the Lord our God ; 

11' And pray for the life of Nabuchodonosor king 
of Babylon, and for ilie life of Balthasar his son, that 
their days may be upon eartli as tiie days of heaven ; 



( 12 And the Lord will give us strength, and lighten 

> our eyes, and we shall live "^ under the shadow of Na- fEzek. 31,

' of Balthasar his son, and we shall serve them many 21.

^ 13 Pray for us also unto the Lord our God, for we 

( have sinned against the Lord our God ; and unto this 

> day the fury of the Lord and his wrath is not turned 
from us. 

14 And ye shall read this book which we have sent 
unto you, to make confession in the house of the Lord, 
upon the feasts and solemn days. 

15 And ye shall say, *>' To tiie Lord our God be- gch.2, 6.

faces, as it is come to pass this day, unto them of Juda, 
and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, 

16 And to our kings, and to our princes, and to 
our priests, and to our prophets, and to our fathers : 

17 For we have '' sinned before the Lord, hDan.9,6 

18 And disobeyed bin), and have not hearkened 
unto the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in the 
commandments that he gave us openly : 

19 ' Since the day tliat die Lord brought our fore- i Ezra 9, 7, 
fathers out of the land of Egypt, unto this present day, ' 

we have been disobedient unto the Lord our God, and 
we have been negligent in not hearing his voice. 

20 "^ AVherefore the evils cleaved unto us, and the kDeut. 23,

at the time that he brought our fathers out of the land 

of Egypt, to give us a land that floweth with milk 
and honey, like as it is to see this day. 

21 Nevertheless we have 'not hearkened unto the 1 Dan. 9, 10 
voice of the I^ord our God, according unto all the 

words of the prophets, whom he sent unto us :

of Israel and Judah, 

2 To bring upon us great plagues, such as never 
happened under the whole heaven, as it came to pass 
in Jerusalem, according to the things that were writ- 
ten in the law of Moses ; 

3 That a man should ^ eat the flesh of his own son, 
and the flesh of his own daughter. 

4 jMoreover he hath delivered them to be *= in sub- 
jection to all the kingdoms that are round about us, to 
be as "^ a reproach and desolation among all the peo- 
ple round about, where the Lord hath scattered them. 

5 Thus we f were cast down, and not exalted, be- 
cause we have sinned against the Lord our God, and 
have not been obedient unto his voice. 

6 ^ To the Lord our God appertaineth righteous- 
ness : but unto us and to our fathers open shame, as 
appenrcth this day. 

7 For all these plagues are come upon us, ^ which 
the Lord hath pronounced against us. 

8 ^ Yet have we not prayed before the Lord, that 
we might turn every one from the imaginations of his 
wicked iieart. 

9 Wherefore the Lord watched over us for evil, and 
the Lord hath brought it upon us : for the Lord is 
righteous in all his works which he hath commanded us. 

10 Yet we have not hearkened unto his voice, to 
walk in the commandments of the Lord, that he hath 
set before us. 

11 ''And now, O Lord God of Israel, that hast 
brought thy people out of the land of Egypt with a 
mighty hand, and high arm, and with signs, and with 
wonders, and wiih great power, and iiast gotten thy- 
self a name, as appeareth this day : 

12 O Lord our God, we have sinned, we have done 
ungodlily, we have dealt unrighteously in all thine 
ordinances. 

1 3 ' Let thy wrath turn from us : ^ for we are but a 
few left among the heathen, w here thou hast scattered us. 

14 Hear our prayers, O Lord, and our petitions, 
and deliver us for thine own sake, and give us fa- 
vour in the sight of tliem which have led us away : 

15 ' That all the earth may know that thou art the 
Lord our God, because f ™ Israel and his posterity is 
called by thy name. 

16 O Lord, " look down from thy holy house, and 
consider us : bow down thine ear, O Lord, to hear us. 

17 Open thine eyes and behold ; for the °dead that 
are in the graves, whose f souls are taken from their 
bodies, will give unto the Lord neither praise nor 
righteousness : 

18 But the soul that is greatly vexed, which goeth 
stooping and feeble, and the eyes that fail, and the 
hungry soul, will give thee praise and righteousness, 
O Lord. 

19 P Therefore we do not make our humble sup- 
plication before thee, O Lord our God, for the righte- 
ousness of our fathers, and of our kings. 

20 For tliou hast sent out thy wrath and indigna- 
tion upon us, as thou hast spoken by thy servants the 
prophets, saying, 

21 1 Thus saith the Lord, Bow down your shoul- 
ders-to serve the king of Babylon : so shall ye remain 
in the land that 1 gave unto your fathers.

24 But we would not hearken unto thy voice, to

made good the words that thou spakest by thy ser-

kings, and the bones of our fathers, should be taken

26 And the house which is called by thy name hast

all thy goodness, and according to all that great mer- 
cy of thine,

day when thou didst command him to write thy law 
before the children of Israel) saying, 

29 ^ If ye will not hear my voice, surely, f this 
very great multitude shall be turned into a small num- 
ber among the nations, where I will scatter them. 

30 For I knew that they would not hear me, be- 
cause it is a stiff-necked people : but in the land of 
their captivities they shall || remember themselves, 

31 And shall know that I am the Lord their God :

captivity-, and ■' think upon my name, 

33 And return from their stiiff neck, and from their

their fathers, which sinned before the Lord. 

34 And I will bring them again into die land which 
I promised with an oath unto their fathers, Abraham, 
Isaac, and Jacob, and they shall be lords of it : and I 
will increase them, and they shall not be diminished.

them to be tiieir God, and they shall be my people : 
and I will no more drive my people of Israel out of 
the land that I have given them.

CHAPTER VI. 

1 The cause of their captivity is their sin. 3 The place whereto Ihev 
were carried is Babylon : the vanity of whose idols and idolatry 
is set forth at large in this chapter. 

V. A copy of an epistle which Jeremiah sent unto them which were ■ 
to be led captives into Babylon by the king of the Babylonians, to 
certify them as it was commanded bim of God. 

BECAUSE of the sins which ye have committed 
befoi-e God, ^ ye shall be led away captives into 
Babjdon by Nabuchodoncsor king of the Babylonians, 

3 So when ye be come unto Babylon, ^ ye shall 
remain there many years, and for a long season, 
namely, seven generations : and after that I will bring 
you away peaceably from thence. 

4 *^ Now shall ye see in Babylon gods of silver, 
and of gold, and of wood, borne upon shoulders, 
which cause the nations to fear. 

5 Beware therefore that ye in no wise be like to 
strangers, neither be ye afraid of them, when ye see 
the multitude before them and behind them, worship- 
ping them. 

6 But say ye in your hearts, O Lord, ** we must 
worship thee. 

7 For ^ mine angel is with you, and I myself 
caring for your souls. 

S As for their tongue, it is polished by the work- 
man, and they themselves are gilded and laid over 
with gold ; yet are they but false, ' and cannot speak, 

9 And taking gold, as it were for a virgin that 
loveth to go ga}', they make crowns for the heads of 
their gods, 

10 Sometimes also the priests convey from their 
gods gold and silver, and bestow it upon themselves. 

11 Yea, they will give thereof to the |l common 
harlots, and deck them as men with garments, [being] 
gods of silver, and gods of gold, and wood. 

12 Yet cannot these gods save themselves from rust 
and moths, though they be covered with purple raiment. 

13 They wipe their faces because of the dust of the 
temple, when there is much upon them. 

14 And he that cannot put to death one that of- 
fendeth him, holdeth a sceptre, as though he were a 
judge of the country, 

15 He hath also in his right hand a dagger and an 
axe : s but cannot deliver himself from war and thieves. 

16 Whereby they are known not to be gods : there- 
fore fear them not. 

17 For like a vessel that a man usetli is nodiing 
worth when it is broken : even so it is with their gods : 
when they be set up in the temple, their eyes be '' full 
of dust through the feet of them that come in. 

18 And as the || doors are made sure on every side 
upon him that offendeth the king, as being committed 
to suffer deaUi : even so the priests make fast their 
temples with doors, with locks, and bars, ' lest their 
gods be spoiled with robbers. 

19 They light theui candles, yea, more than for 
themselves, whereof they cannot see one.

that they are no gods : fear them not 

30 For how can they be " called gods .'' because wo- 
men set meat before the gods of silver, gold, and wood. 

31 And the priests sit in their temples, having their 
clothes rent, and their heads and beards shaven, and 
nothing upon their heads. 

32 They roar and cry before their gods, as men do 
at the feast when one is dead. 

33 The priests also take off their garments, and 
clothe their wives and children. 

34 Whether it be evil that one doeth unto them, or i 
good, P they are not able to recompense it : they can \ 
neither set up a king, nor put him down. 

35 In like manner they can neither give riches nor 
money : though a man make a vow unto them, and 
keep it not, they will not require it. 

36 1 They can save no man from death, neither de- 
liver the weak from the mighty. 

37 They cannot restore a blind man to his sight, 
nor help any man in his distress. 

38 They can shew no mercy to the widow, nor do 
good to the fatherless. 

39 Their gods of wood, and which are ■■ overlaid 
with gold and silver, are like the stones that be hewn 
out of the mountain : they that worship them shall be 
confounded. 

40 How should a man then think and say that 
they are gods, when even the Chaldeans themselves 
dishonour tiiem .'' 

41 Who if they shall see one dumb that cannot 
speak, they |1 bring him, ' and entreat Bel that he 
may speak, as though he were able to understand. 

42 Yet they cannot understand this themselves, and 
leave them : for they have no || knowledge. 

43 The women also with cords about them, sitting 



between heaven and earth. 

55 Wherpupon \\ hen fire fallcth upon the house of 
gods of wood, or laid over with gold or silver, their 
priests will flee away, and escape; but they themselves 
shall be burned asunder like beams. 

56 Moreover they cannot withstand any king or 
enemies : how can it then be thought or said that 
they be gods .'' 

57 Neither are those " gods of wood, and laid over a verse 39. 
with silver or gold, able to escape either from thieves 

or robbers. 

58 Whose gold, and silver, and garments where- 
with they are clothed, they that are strong do take, and 
go away withal : neither are they able to help themselves. 

59 Therefore it is better to be a king '' that sheweth ^ \^f^^^^ 
his power, or else a profitable vessel in an house, which ' 

the owner shall have use of, than such false gods ; or 
to be a door in an house, to keep such things safe as 
be therein, than such false gods ; or a pillar of wood 
in a palace, than such false gods. 

60 For sun, moon, and stars, being bright, and 
sent to do their offices, are obedient. 

61 In like manner ii.2 lightning when it breaketh 
forth is easy to be seen ; and || after the same manner 
the wind bloweth in every country. 

62 And when God commandeth the clouds to go 
over the whole world, "^ they do as they are bidden. 

63 And the fire sent from above to consume hills 
and woods doeth as it is commanded : but these are 
like unto them neither in shew nor power. 

64 Wherefore it is neither to be supposed nor said 

that they are gods, seeing '' they are able neither to <' verse 64

ND ^ they walked in the midst of the fire, prais- 
ing God, and blessing the Lord. 

2 Then Azarias stood up, and prayed in this man- 
ner; and opening his mouth in the midst of the fire, said, 

3 ^ Blessed art thou, O Lord God of our fathers : thy 
name is worthy to be praised and glorified for evermore: 

4 For thou art righteous in all the things that thou 
hast done to us : yea, true are all thy works, thy 
ways are right, and "^ all thy judgments truth. 

5 In all the things which thou hast brought upon 
us, and upon the holy city of our fathers, even Jerusa- 
lem, thou hast executed true judgment : for according 
to truth and judgment didst thou bring all these things 
upon us because of our sins. 

d Dan. 9, 5. 6 For we ''have sinned and committed iniquity, 
departing from thee. 

7 In all things have we trespassed, and not obeyed 
thy commandments, nor kept them, neither done as 
thou hast commanded us, that it might go well with us. 

8 Wherefore all 
and every thing that thou hast done to us, 
done in true judgment. 

9 And thou didst deliver us into the hands of law- 
less ^ enemies, most hateful forsakers of God, and to 
an unjust king, and the most wicked in all the world. 

10 And now we cannot open our mouths, we are 
become a shame and reproach to thy servants, and to 
them that worship thee. 

11 Yet deliver us not up wholly, for thy name's 
sake, ^ neither disannul thou thy covenant : 

12 And cause not thy mercy to depart from us, for 
thy beloved Abraham's sake, for thy servant Isaac's 
sake, and for thy holy Israel's sake ; 

13 To whom thou hast spoken and promised, that 
thou wouldest multiply their seed '' as the stars of 
heaven, and as the sand that lieth upon the sea-shore. 

14 For we, O Lord, are become less than any na- 
tion, and be kept under this day in all the world be- 
cause of our sins. 

15 Neither is there at this time prince, or prophet, 
or leader, or burnt-offering, or sacrifice, or oblation, 
or incense, or place to sacrifice before thee, and to 
fnd mercy.

19 Put us not to shame : but deal with us after thy

23 And the king's servants, that put them in, ceased 
not to make the oven hot with || rosin, pitch, tow, and 
small wood ; 

24 So that the flame streamed forth above the fur-

25 And it passed through, and " burned those

the flame of the fire out of the oven; 

27 And made the midst of the furnace as it had 
been a || moist whistling wind, so that the fire touched 
them not at all, neither hurt nor troubled them. 

28 Then the three, as out of one mouth, praised, 
glorified, and blessed God in the furnace, saying,

THE HISTORY OF SUSANNA, 

Set apart from the Beginning of Daniel, because it is not in the Hebrew, as neither the Narra- 
tion of t Bel and the Dragon. 

9 And the3' perverted their own mind, and turned 



IG Two judges hide themselves in the garden of Susanna to have 
their pleasure of her: 2S which when tliey could not obtain, they 
accuse, and cause her to be condemned for adultery : 4i5 But Dan- 
iel exainiiuHh llie matter again, and fnidetli the two judges false. 

THERE dwelt a man in Babylon, called Joacim: 
2 And he took a wife, whose name was Su- 
sanna, the daughter of Clielcias, a * very fair woman, 
and one that feared the Lord. 

3 Pier '' parents also were righteous, and taught 
their daughter according to the law of Moses. 

4 Now Joacim was a great rich man, and had a 
fair garden joining unto his house: and to him re- 
sorted the Jews ; because he was more Imnourable 
than all others. 

5 The same year were appointed two of "^ the an- 
cients of the people to be judges, such as the Lord 
spake of, that wickedness came from Babylon from 
ancient judges, who seemed to govern the people. 

6 These kept much at Joacim's house : and all 
that had any suits in law came unto them. 

7 Now when the people departed away at noon, 
Susanna went into her husband's garden to walk. 

8 And the two elders saw her going in every day, and 
walking; "^ so that their lust was inflamed towards her. 



away their eyes, that they might not look unto hea- 
ven, nor remember just judgments. 

10 And albeit they both were wounded with her 
love, 3et durst not one shew another his grief. 

11 For the3' were ashamed to declare their lust, 
that they desired to have to do with her. 

12 Yet they watched diligently from day to day to 
see her. 

13 And the one said to the other, Let us now go 
home : for it is dinner-time. 

14 So when they were gone out, they parted the 
one from the other, and turning back again the3' came 
to the same place ; and after they had asked one 
another the cause, ' they acknowledged their '' lust 
then appointed they a time both together, when they 
might find her alone. 

15 And it fell out, as the3' watched a fit time, she 

went in f as before with two maids onl3', and she was t Gr. asyes 
desirous to wash herself in the garden : for it was hot. f/,^ day'be. 

16 And there was no body there save the two elders, Me. 
that had hid themselves, and watched her. 

17 Then she said to her maids. Bring me oil and

washinjj-balls, and sliut the garden-doors, ^ that I 
may wash me. 

18 And they did as she bade them, and shut the gar- 
den-doors, and went out themselves at |! privy doors 
to fetch the things that she had commanded them : but 
they saw not the elders, ^ because they were hid. 

19 Now when the maids were gone forth, the two 
elders rose up, and ran unto her, saying, 

20 Beliold, the garden-doors are shut, that no man 
can see us, and we are in love with thee ; therefore 
consent unto us, ' and lie with us, 

21 If thou wilt not, we will bear witness against 
thee, that a young man was with thee : and thei-efcjre 
thou didst send away thy maids from thee. 

22 Then Susanna '' sighed, and said, I am straiten- 
ed on ever}^ side : for if I do this thing, it is death unto 
me : and if I do it not, I cannot escape your hands. 

23 It is better for me to fall into your hands, and 
not to do it, than ' to sin in the sight of the Lord. 

24 With that Susanna cried with a loud voice : 
and the two elders cried out against her. 

25 Then ran the one, and opened the garden-door. 

26 So when the servants of the house heard the 
cry in the garden, they rushed in at "" a privy door, 
to see what was done unto her. 

27 But when the elders had declared their matter, 
the servants were greatly ashamed : for there never 
was such a report made of Susanna. 

28 And it came to pass the next day, when the 
people were as-sembled to her husband Joacim, the 
two elders came also full of ° mischievous imagination 
against Susanna to put her to death ; 

29 And said before the people. Send for Susanna, the 
daughter of Chelcias, Joacim's wife. And so they sent. 

30 So she came with her father and mother, her 
children, and all her kindred. 

31 Now Susanna was a very delicate woman, and 
" beauteous to behold. 

32 And these wicked men commanded to uncover 
her /f/cc, (for she was covered) that they might be fill- 
ed with her beauty. 

33 Therefore her friends and all that saw her wept. 

34 Then the two elders stood up in the midst of the 
people, ■' and laid their hands upon her head. 

35 And she weeping looked up towards heaven : 
for her heart trusted in the Lord. 

36 And the elders said, As we walked in the garden 
alone, this woman came in with two maids, and shut 
the garden-doors, and sent the maids away. 

37 Then a young man, who there was hid, came 
unto her, and lay with her. 

38 Tiien we that stood in a corner of the garden, 
seeing ^ this wickedness, ran unto them. 

39 And when we saw them togetlier, the man we 
could not hold : for he was stronger than we, and 
opened the door, and leaped out. 

40 But having taken this woman, we asked who 
rEx.so.iG. the 3'oung man was, but she would not tell us: "" these 

things do we testify. 

41 Then the assembly believed them, as those that 
were the elders and judges of the people : so they 
condemned her to death. 

42 Tlien Susanna * cried out with a loud voice, 
and said, O everlasting God, that knowest the secrets, 
and knowest all things before they be : 

43 Tliou knowest that they have borne false wit-

ness against me, and behold, I must die ; whereas I 
never did such things as these men have maliciously 
invented against me. 

44 And the ' Lord heard her voice. 

45 Therefore when she was led to be put to death, 
the Lord raised up the holy spirit of a young youth, 
whose name was Daniel : 

46 Who cried with a loud voice, " I am clear from 
the blood of this woman. 

47 Then all the people turned them towards him, 
and said, What mean these words that thou hast spoken.'' 

48 So he standing in the midst of them said. Are 
ye such " fools, ye sons of Israel, that without exami- 
nation or knowledge of the truth ye have condemned 
a daughter of Israel .'' 

49 Return again to the place of judgment : for 
they have ^ borne false witness against her. 

50 Wherefore all the people turned again in haste, 
and the elders said unto him. Come, sit down among 
us, and shew it us, seeing God hath given thee the 
honour of an elder. 

51 Then said Daniel unto them, Put these two 
aside one far from another, ^ and I will examine them. 

52 So when they were put asunder one from an- 
other, he called one of them, and said unto him, O thou 
tliat art waxen old in wickedness, now thy sins which 
thou hast committed aforetime are come to light. 

53 For thou hast pronounced false judgment, and 
hast condemned the innocent, and liast let the guilty 
go free ; albeit the Lord saith, " The innocent and 
righteous shalt thou not slay. 

54 Now then, if thou hast seen her, tell me, Under 
what tree sawest thou them companying together ^ 
W^ho answered, Under a f mastick-tree. 

55 And Daniel said. Very well ; "^ thou hast lied 
against thine own head ; for even now the angel of God 
hath received the sentence of God to cut thee in two. 

56 So he put him aside, and commanded to bring 
the other, and said unto him, O thou seed of Chanaan, 
and not of Juda, beauty hath deceived thee, and *= lust 
hath perverted thine heart. 

57 Thus have ye dealt with the daughters of Israel, 
and they for fear companied with you : but the daugh- 
ter of Juda would not abide your wickedness. 

58 Now therefore tell me. Under what tree didst 
thou take them companying together ^ Who answer- 
ed, '' Under a || holm-tree. 

59 Then said Daniel unto him, 
also lied against thine own head : 
God waiteth with the sword to cut 
he may destroy you. 

60 With that all the assembly ^ cried out with a 
loud voice, and praised God, who saveth them that 
trust in him. 

61 And they arose against the two elders, for Daniel 
had convicted them of false witness by their own mouth: 

62 And according to the law of Moses 'they did 
unto them in such sort as they maliciously intended to 
do to their neighbour : and they put them to death. 
Thus the innocent blood was saved the same day. 

63 Therefore Chelcias and his wife praised God 
for their daughter Susanna, with Joacim her husband, 
and all the kindred, ? because there was no dishonesty 
found in her. 

64 From that day forth was Daniel had in great 
reputation in the sight of the people.

19 The frauQ of Bel's priests is discovered by Danitl, 27 and the 
dragon slain which was worshipped. 33 Daniel is preserved in 
the lion's den. 42 The king doth acknowledge the God of Daniel, 
and casteth his enemies into the same den. 

AND king Astyages was gathered to his fathers, 
and * Cyrus of Persia received his kingdom. 

2 And Daniel || conversed with the king, and was 
honoured above all his friends. 

3 Now ilie Babylonians had an idol, called Bel, and 
there were spent upon him every day twelve measures 
of fine flour, and forty sheep, and six vessels of wine. 

4 And tlie king worshipped it, and went daily to 
adore it : ^ but Daniel worshipped his own God. And 
the king said untohim. Why dost not thou worship Bel ^ 

5 \\ho answered and said. Because I ma}' not wor- 
ship idols made with hands, but the living God, ' who 
iialh created liie heaven and the earth, and hath sove- 
reignty over all flesh. 

6 Then said the king unto him, Thinkest thou not 
that Bel is a living god .'' seest thou not how much he 
eateth and drinketii every day .'' 

7 Then Daniel smiled, and said, O king, be not 
deceived : for this is but clay within, and brass with- 
out, and did never '' eat nor drink any thing. 

8 So the king was wroth, and called for iiis priests, 
and said unto them. If ye tell me not who this is that 
devoureth * these expenses ye shall die. 

9 But if ye can certify me that Bel devoureth them, 
tlien Daniel shall die : for he hath spoken blasphemy 
against Bel. And Daniel said unto the king. Lei it 
be according to thy word. 

10 Now the priests of Bel were threescore and ten, 
besides their wives and children. And the king went 
with Daniel into the temple of Bel. 

11 So Bel's priests said, Lo, we go out : but thou, O 
king, set on the meat, and make ready the wine, and 
shut the door fast, and ^ seal it with thine own signet; 

12 And to-morrow when thou comest in, if thou 
findest not that Bel hath eaten up all, we will suAIt 
death; or else Daniel, that speaketh falsely agains* us. 

13 And they little regarded it : s for under the table 
they had made a privy entrance, whereby they entered 
in continually, and consumed those things. 

14 So when they were gone forth, the king set 
meats before Bel. Now Daniel had commanded his 
servants to bring ashes, and those they strewed 
throughout all the temple in the presence of the king 
alone : then went they out, and shut the door, and 
sealed it with the king's signet, and so departed. 

15 Now in the night came the priests '' with their 
wives and children, as they were wont to do, and did 
eat and drink up all. 

IG In the morning betimes the king arose, and 
Daniel widi him. 

17 And the king said, Daniel, are the ' seals whole.'' j 
and he said. Yea, O king, they be whole. t 

18 And as soon as he had opened the door, the king ^ 
looked upon the table, and cried with a loud voice, ' 
'' Great art diou, O Bel, and with thee is no deceit at all. f 

19 Then laughed Daniel, and held the king that he ^ 
should not go in, and said. Behold now the pavement, J 
and mark well whose footsteps are these, ^ 



20 And the king said, I see the footsteps ' of men, 
women, and children. And then the king was angry, 

21 And took the priests with their wives and children, 
who shewed him the privy doors, where they came in, 
and consumed such things as were upon the table. 

22 Therefore the king slew them, and delivered Bel 
into Daniel's power," who destroyed him and his temple. 

23 |] And in that same place there was a great 
" dragon, which they of Babylon worshipped. 

24 And the king said unto Daniel, Wilt thou also 
say that this is of brass f lo, he liveth, he eateth and 
drinketh ; thou canst not say that he is no living god; 
therefore worship him. 

25 Then said Daniel unto the king, " I will wor- 
ship the Lord my God : for he is the living God. 

26 But give me leave, O king, and I shall slay this 
dragon without sword or stafl". The king said, I give 
thee leave. 

27 Then Daniel took pitch, and fat, and hair, and 
did seethe them together, and made lumps thereof: 
this he put in the dragon's mouth, and so the dragon 
burst in sunder : and Daniel said, || Lo, these are the 
gods ye worship. 

23 When they of Babylon heard that, p they took 
great indignation, and conspired against the king, say- 
ing. The king is become a Jew, and he hath destroyed 
Bel, he hath slain the dragon, and put the priests to death. 

29 So they came to the king, and said. Deliver us 
Daniel, or else we will destroy thee and thine house. 

30 Now when the king saw that they pressed him 
sore, being constrained, he ''delivered Daniel unto them: 

31 "■ ^\ ho cast him into the lion's den: where he 
vrvLS six days. 

32 And in the den there were seven lions, and they 
had given them every day || two carcases, and two 
sheep : which then were not given to them, to the in- 
tent they might devour Daniel. 

33 Now there was in Jewry ' a prophet, called 
Habbacuc, who had || made pottage, and had broken 
bread in a bowl, and was going into the field, for to 
bring it to the reapers. 

34 But ' the angel of the Lord said unto Habba- 
cuc, Go, carry the dinner that thou hast into Babylon 
unto Daniel, who is in the lion's den. 

35 And Habbacuc said. Lord, I never, saw Baby^ 
Ion ; neither do I know where the den is. 

30 Then the angel of the Lord took him by the 
crown, and " bare him by the hair of his head, and 
through the vehemency of his spirit set him in Baby- 
lon over the den. 

37 And Habbacuc cried, saying, O Daniel, Daniel, 
take the dinner ^ which God hath sent thee. 

38 And Daniel said. Thou hast remembered me, 
O God : >■ neither hast thou forsaken them that seek 
thee and love thee. 

39 So Daniel arose, and did eat : and the angel 
of the Lord set Habbacuc in his own place again im- 
mediately. 

40 Upon the ^ seventh day the king went to be- 
wail Daniel : and when he came to the den, he look- 
ed in, and behold, Daniel was sitting.

THE PRAYER OF MANASSES KING OF 

WHEN HE WAS HOLDEN CAPTIVE IN BABYLON. 

LORD, Almighty God of our fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and of their righteous seed ; who 
hast made heaven and earth, with all the ornament thereof; who hast bound the sea by the word of thy 
commandment; who hast shut up the deep, and sealed it by thy terrible and glorious name; whom all men 
fear, and tremble before thy power ; for the majestj' of thy glory cannot be borne, and thine angry threatening 
towards sinners is importable : but thy merciful promise is unmeasurable and unsearchable ; for thou art the 
most high Lord, of great compassion, long-suflering, very merciful, and repentest of the evils of men. Thou, 

Lord, according to thy great goodness hast promised repentance and forgiveness to them that have sinned 
against thee : and of thine infinite mercies hast appointed repentance unto sinners, that they may be saved. 
Thou therefore, O Lord, that art the God of the just, hast not appointed repentance to the just, as to Abra- 
ham, and Isaac, and Jacob, which have not sinned against thee ; but thou hast appointed repentance unto me that 
am a sinner : for I have sinned above the number of the sands of the sea. My transgressions, O Lord, are 
multiplied: my transgressions are multiplied, and I am not worthy to behold and see the height of heaven for 
the multitude of mine iniquities. I am bowed down with many iron bands, that I cannot lift up mine head, 
II neither have any release : for I have provoked thy wrath, and done evil before thee : I did not thy will, 
neilher kept I thy commandments : I have set up abominations, and have multiplied offences. Now therefore 

1 bow the knee of mine heart, beseeching thee of grace. I have sinned, O Lord, I have sinned, and I acknow- 
ledge mine iniquities : wherefore I humbly beseech thee, forgive me, O Lord, forgive me, and destroy me not 
with mine iniquities. Be not angry with me for ever, by reserving evil for me; neither condemn me into the 
lower parts of the earth. For thou art the God, even the God of them that repent; and in me thou wilt shew 
all thy goodness : for thou wilt save me, that am unworthy, according to thj' great mercy. Therefore I will 
praise thee for ever all the days of my life : for all the powers of the heavens do praise thee, and thine is the 
glory for ever and ever. Amen.

CHAPTER I. f 

14 Antiochus gave leave to set up the fashions of tbe Gentiles in Je- ^ 

rusalem, 22 and spoiled it, and the temple in it, 57 and set up ) 

therein the abomination of desolation, 63 and slew those that did ^ 

circumcise their children. ^ 

ND it happened, after that Alexander, son of > 

Philip, the Macedonian, who came out of the i 

land of II Chettiim, had smitten '^ Darius king of the ^ 

Persians and Medes, that he reigned in his stead, the ^

wars, and won many strong ^ 
igs of the earth, ^ 



and slew the kings 

3 ^ And went through to the ends of the earth, and 
took spoils of many nations, insomuch that the earth 
was quiet before him ; whereupon || he was exalted, 
and his heart was lifted up. 

4 And he gathered a mighty strong host, and ruled 
over countries, and nations, and || kings, Avho became 
tributaries unto him. . 

5 And after these things he fell sick, and perceived } 
f that he should die. ' 

6 Wherefore he called his servants, such as were ( 
honourable, and had been brought up with him from f 
his youth, and parted his kingdom among them, while } 
he was yet alive. j[ 

7 So Alexander reigned twelve years, and then died, f 

8 And his servants bare rule every one in his place. ^ 

9 And after his death they all put = crowns w^)o?i i 
themselves ; so did their sons after them many years : < 
and evils were multiplied in the earth. ' 

10 And there came out of them '' a wicked root, ' 



Antiochus sMraa?necZ Epiphanes, son of Antiochus the 
king, who had been an hostage at Rome, ajid he 
reigned in the hundred and thirty and seventh year of 
the kingdom of the Greeks. 

11 In those days went there out of Israel wicked 
men, ^ who persuaded many, saying, Let us go and 
make a covenant with the heathen that are round 
about us ; for since we departed from them, f we 
have had much sorrow. 

12 So this device pleased them well. 

13 Then certain of the people were so forward 
herein, that they went to the king, ^ who gave them 
license to do after the ordinances of the heathen : 

14 Whereupon they || built a place of exercise at 
Jerusalem according to the customs of the heathen : 

15 And ^made themselves uncircumcised, and for- 
sook the holy covenant, and joined themselves to the 
heathen, and ^ were sold to do mischief. 

16 Now when the kingdom was established before 
Antiochus, he thought to reign over Egypt, that he 
might have the dominion of two realms. 

17 Wherefore ' he fentered into Egypt with a great 
multitude, Avith chariots, and elephants, and horsemen, 
and a great nav}', 

18 And made war against Ptolemee king of Egj'pt: 
but Ptolemee was afraid of him, and fled ; and many 
were wounded to death. 

19 Thus they got the strong cities in the land of 
Egypt, and he took the spoils thereof 

20 And after that Antiochus had smitten Egypt, he

returned again in the hundred forty and third year, 
^ and went up against Israel and Jerusalem with a 
great rnuUitude, 

21 And ' entered proudly into the sanctuary, and 
took away the golden altar, and the candlestick of 
light, and all the vessels thereof 

22 And the table of the shew-bread, and the pour- 
ing vessels, and the vials, and the censers of gold, and 
the vail, and the crowns, and the golden ornaments 
that were before the temple, |! all which he pulled off. 

23 He took also the silver and the gold, and the 
f precious vessels : also he took the hidden treasures 
which he found. 

24 And when he had taken all away, he went into 
his own land, having made a great massacre, and 
spoken very proudly. 

25 Therefore tkere was "' great mourning in Israel, 
in every place where they were ; 

26 So " that tlie princes and elders mourned, the 
virgins and joung men were made feeble, and the 
beauty of women was changed. 

27 Every bridegroom took up lamentation, and she 
that sat in the marnage-chauiber was in heaviness. 

28 The land also was moved for tiie inhabitants 
thereof, and all the house of Jacob was covered with 

o Dan. 9, 7, " confusion. 

29 And after two years fully expired, the king sent 
his chief collector of tribute unto the citie.s of Juda, 
who came unto Jerusalem with a great multiiude; 

30 And spake peaceable words unto iliein, but all 
ivas ''deceit: for when liiey had given him credence, 
he fell suddenly upon the city, and smote it very sore, 
and destroyed much people of Israel. 

31 And when he had taken tlie spoils of the city, 
qPs. 79, 1. "1 he set it on fire, and pulled down the houses and 

walls thereof on every side. 

32 But the women and children took they captive, 
and possessed the cattle. 

33 Tlieiv builded the3' the city of Uavid with a 
great and strong wall, and with mighty towers, and 



cir. 1G3. 



p Ps. 10, 



made it a strong hold for them 



r Isa. 1,4. 



34 And they put therein a "■ sinful nation, wicked 
men, and fortified themselves therein. 

35 They stored it also with armour and victuals, 
and when they had gathered together the spoils of 
Jerusalem, they laid them up there, and so they be- 
came a sore snare : 

3G For it was a place to lie in wait against the 
s?s.74, 3. * sanctuary, and an evil adversary to Israel. 

37 Thus they shed innocent blood on every side 
of the sanctuary, and defiled it: , 

38 Insomuch that the inhabitants of Jerusalem fled 
because of them : whereupon the city was ma<lc an ha- 
bitation of strangers, and became strange to those that 
were born in her; and her own children left her. 

39 ' Her sanctuary was laid waste like a wilderness, 
her feasts were turned into mourning, her sabbaths 
into reproach, her honour into contempt. 

40 As iiad been her glory, so was her dishonour in- 
creased, and her e.vcellency was turned into mourning. 

41 Moreover king Antiochus wrote to his whole 
u verse 15. kingdom, " that all should be one people, 

42 And everyone should leave his laws: so all 
the heathen agreed according to the commandment 
of the king.

his religion, and sacrificed unto idols, and profaned 
the sabbath. 

44 For the king had sent letters by messengers 
unto Jerusalem and the cities of Juda, that they should 
follow II tlie strange laws of the land, 

45 And Ibrbid biunt-ofierings, and sacrifices, and 
drink-ofierinas, in the temple: and that thcv should s'™»^<!« «/ 
profane the sabbaths and lestiva! days : 

46 And pollute the srtnctuary and ^' holy people : 

47 Set up altars, and groves, and chapels of idols, 
and sacrifice swine's (lesh, and unclean beasts : 

48 That they should also leave '■ their children un- 
ci rcumcised, and make their souls abominable with all 
manner of uncleanness and profanation: 

49 To the end they might forget the law, and 
change all the ordinances. 

50 And whosoever would not do according to the 
commandment of the king, he said, he should die. 

51 In the self-same manner wrote he to his whole 
kingdom, and appointed overseers over all the people, 
commanding the cities of Juda to sacrifice, "city by city. 

52 Then many of the people were gathered unto 
them, to wit, every one that forsook the law; and so 
they committed evils in the land ; 

53 II And drove the Israelites into secret places, 
even wheresoever they could flee for succour. 

54 Now the fifteenth day of the month Casleu, in the 
hundred fort}' and fifth year, ^ the}' set up the aboirii 
nation of desolation upon the altar, and builded idol 
altars throughout the cities of Juda on every side; 

55 And burnt incense at the doors of their houses, ^' ^' ^>''- 
and in the streets. 

56 And when they had rent in pieces the books of 
the law which, they found, they burnt them with fire. 

57 And wheresoever was found with any the book 
of the testament, or if any consented to the law, f the 
king's commandment was, that they should put hiin 
to death. 

58 Thus did they b}' their authoritj' unto the Israel- 
ites every month, to as many as were found in the cities. 

59 Now the five and twentieth day of the month 
they did sacrifice upon the idol-altar, which was upon 
the altar of God. 

GO At which time according to the commandment 
they put to death certain women, f that had caused 
their children to be circumcised. 

61 And they hanged the infants about their necks, 
and rifled their houses, and slew them that had cir- 
cumcised them. 

G2 Howbcit many in Israel were fully resolved and 
confirmed in themselves not to eat any unclean thing. 

63 Wherefore they chose rather to die, that they 
miiiht not be defiled with meats, and that they might 
not profane tlie holy covenant : so then they died. 

64 And there was very great wrath upon Israel.

5 Eleazar, called 1| Avaran : and Jonathan, whose 
surname was Apphus. 

6 And when he saw the blasphemies that were com- 
mitted in Juda and Jerusalem, 

7 He said, Wo is me ! wherefore was I born to see 
this misery of my people, and of the holy city, and to 
dwell there, when it was delivered into the hand of tlie 
enemv, and the sanctuary into the hand of strangers ?• 

8 Her temple is become as a man ^ without glory. 

9 ^ Her glorious vessels are carried away into cap- 
tivitv, her infants are slain in the streets, her young 
men with the sword of the enemy. 

10 What nation hath not had a part in her king- 
dom, and gotten of her spoils t 

11 All her ornaments are taken away; of a free 
woman she is become a bond-slave. 

12 And behold, our i| sanctuary, even our beauty 
and our glory, is laid waste, and the Gentiles have 
profaned it. 

13 To what end therefore shall we live an}- longer .'' 

14 Then Mattathias and his sons '^ rent their clothes, 
and put on sackcloth, and mourned very sore. 

15 In the mean while the king's "^ officers, such as 
compelled the people to revolt, came into the city 
Modin, to make them sacrifice. 

16 And when many of Israel came unto them, Mat- 
tathias also and his sons came together. 

17 Then answered the king's officers, and said to 
Mattathias on this wise. Thou art a ruler, and an ho- 
nourable and great man in this city, and strengthened 
with sons and brethren : 

IS Now therefore come thou first, and fulfil the 
king's commandment, like as all the heathen have 
done, yea, and the men of Juda also, and such as re- 
main at Jerusalem : so shalt thou and thy house be in 
the number of the king's friends, and thou and tliy 
children shall be honoured with silver and gold, and 
many rewards. 

19 Then ^Mattathias answered and spake with ^ a 
loud voice. Though all the nations that are under the 
king's dominion obey him, and fall away every one 
from the religion of their fathers, and give consent to 
his commandments : 

20 Yet will I ^ and my sons and my brethren walk 
in the covenant of our fathers. 

21 God forbid that we should forsake ^ the law 
and the ordinances. 

22 AVe will not hearken to the king's words, to go 
from our religion, either on the right hand, or the left. 

23 Xow when he had left speaking these words, 
there came one of the Jews in the sight of all to sa- 
crifice on the altar which was at Modin, according to 
the kins's commandment. 

24 Which thing when Mattathias saw, he was '' in- 
flamed with zeal, and his reins trembled, neither could 
he forbear to shew his anger according to judgment: 
wherefore he ran, ' and slew him upon the altar. 

25 Also the king's commissioner, who compelled 
men to sacrifice, he killed at that time, and the altar 
lie pulled down. 

26 Thus dealt he zealously for the law of God, 
like as ^ Phinees did unto Zambri the son of Salom. 

27 And Mattathias cried throughout the city 
with a loud voice, saying. Whosoever is zealous 
of the law, and naaintaineth the covenant, let him 
follow me.

28 So he and his sons fled into ' the mountains, Before 
and left all that ever they had in the citv. cji-. ig?. 

29 Tlien many that sought after justice and judg- ^.^--s^^%^ 
ment went down into the wilderness, to j dwell there : 1 Heb. il, 

30 Both they, and their children, and their wives, | q^ ^., ^^ 
and their cattle ; because f afflictions increased sore abide. 
upon them. \GT.eriU 

31 JNow when it was told the king's servants, and pHed upon 
" the host that was at Jerusalem, in the city of David, '^*"; , 33 
that certain men, who had broken the king's com- 34, 35.' 
maudment, were gone down into the secret places in 

the wilderness, 

32 They pursued after them a great number, and 
having overtaken them, they camped against them, 
and made war against them on the sabbath-day. 

33 .And they said unto them, Let that which ye have 
done hitherto suffice ; come forth, and do according to 
the commandment of the king, and ye shall live. 

34 But they said, ° \^ e will not come forth, nei- 
ther will we do the king's commandment, to profane 
the sabbath-da}-. 

35 So then they gave j| them the battle with all speed. 

36 Howbeit they answered them not, neither cast 
they a stone at them, nor stopped the places where 
they la}- hid ; 

37 But said, Let us die all in our f innocency 
heaven and earth shall testify for us, that ye put us to P^"^i/- 
death wrongfully. 

38 So they rose up against them in battle on the 
sabbath, ° and they slew them, with their wives and o Heb. 11 
children, and their cattle, to the number of a thousand 

f people. t Gr.soult 

39 jNTow when Mattathias and his friends under- °-^"'"*' 
stood hereof, they mourned for them right sore. 

40 And one of them said to another. If we all do 
as our brethren have done, and fight not for our lives 
and laws against the heathen, they will now quickly 
P root us out of the earth. 

41 At that time therefore they decreed, saying, 
AA hosoever shall come to make battle with us on the 
sabbath-day, we will fight against him ; neither will 

we die all, as our brethren that were murdered in ^ the q ^erse 31. 
secret places. 

42 Then came there unto him a company of Assi- 
deans, who were mighty men of Israel, even all such 
as were voluntarily devoted unto the law. 

43 Also all they that ■■ fled for persecution joined of^fg^^^^ 
themselves unto them, and were a stay unto them. 

44 So they joined their forces, and smote sinful 
men in their anger, and wicked men in their wrath : 
but the rest fled to the heathen for succour. 

45 Then Mattathias and his friends went round 
about, and pulled down ^ the altars : 

46 And what children soever they found within 
the coast of Israel uncircumcised, tliose they circum- 
cised II valiantly. 

47 They pursued also after the proud men, and 
the work prospered in their hand. 

48 So they recovered ' the law out of the hand of t Seech. ), 
the Gentiles, and out of the hand of kings, neither ^''• 

J sufiered thev the sinner to triumph. t Gr.guve 

49 Xow when the time drew near that IMattathias \o7heHmier. 
should die, he said unto his sons. Now hath pride and cir. 16G.

and the wrath of indignation :

51 Call to remembrance what acts our fathers did 
in their f time ; so shall ye receive great lionour and 
an everlasting name. 

52 Was not ^ Abraham found faithful in temptation, 
5 and it was imputed unto him for righteousness ? 

53 Joseph in the time of his distress kept the com- 
mandment, ^ and was made lord of Egypt. 

54 ^ Phinees our father in being zealous and fervent 
obtained the covenant of an everlasting priesthood. 

55 "^ Jesus for fulfilling the word was made a judge 
in Israel. 

56 ■= Caleb for bearing witness before the congre- 
gation received the heritage of the land. 

57 '' David for being merciful possessed the throne 
of an everlasting kingdom. 

58 ^ Elias for being zealous and fervent for the 
law was taken up into heaven. 

59 ''Ananias, Azarias, and ]\Iisael, by believing 
were saved out of the flame. 

60 ^ Daniel for his innocency was delivered from 
the mouth of lions. 

61 And tiius consider ye throughout all ages, that 
none that put tlieir trust in him sliall be overcome. 

62 '' Fear not tiien the words of a sinful man : for 
his glory shall be dung and worms. 

63 To-day he shall be lifted up, and to-morrow he 
shall not be be found, because he is ' returned into his 
dust, and his thought is come to nothing. 

64 AV'lierefore, ye my sons, be valiant, '' and shew 
yourselves men in the behalf of the law ; for by it 
shall ye obtain glory. 

65 And behold, I know that your brother Simon 
is a man of counsel, give ear unto him always : he 
shall be a father unto you. 

66 As for Judas Maccabeus, he hath been mighty 
and strong, even from his youth up : let him be your 
captain, and || fight the battle of the people. 

67 Take also unto you all tliose that observe the 
law, and avenge ye the wrong of your people. 

68 Recompense fully tlie heathen, and take heed 
to the commandn)ents of the law. 

69 So he blessed them, and ' was gathered to his 
fathers. 

70 And he died in the hundred forty and sixth 
year, and liis sons buried him in tiie sepulchres of his

3 So he gat his people great honour, and put on a

4 In his acts he was "^ like a lion, and like a lion's

i many also fell down slain, but the rest fled. 
( 12 Wherefore Judas took their sjioils, and ApoUo-

soldiers pay for a year, commanding tbem to be readj^ 
■f whensoever he should need them. 

29 Nevertheless, when he saw that the money of his 
treasures failed, and f that the tributes in the country 
were small, because of tlie dissension and plague 
whicli he had brought upon the land, || in taking 
away the laws which had been of old time 5 

30 He feared f that he should not be able to bear 
the charges any longer, nor to have such gifts to give 
so liberally as he did before : for he bad abounded 
above the kings that were before him. 

31 Wherefore, being greatly " perplexed in his mind, 
he determined to go into Persia, there to take the 
tributes of the countries, and to gather much money. 

32 So he left Lysias, a nobleman, and one of the 
blood royal, to oversee the aflairs of tlie king from 
" the river Euphrates unto th.e borders of Egypt : 

33 And to bring up his son Antiochus, until he 
came again. 

34 IMoreover he delivered unto him the half of his 
forces, and the elephants, and gave him charge of all 
things that he would have done, as also concerning 
them that dwelt in Juda and Jerusalem : 

35 3^0 wit, that he should send an army against 
them, to destroy and i-oot out the strength of Israel, 
and the •' remnant of Jerusalem, and to take away 
their memorial from that place ; 

36 And that he should place strangers in all their 
quarters, and divide their land by lot. 

37 So the king took the half of the forces that re- 
mained, and departed from Antioch, f his roj-al city, 
the hundred forty and seventh year ; and having 
passed the river Euphrates, he went through the high 
countries. 

3S Then Lysias chose Ptolemee the son of Dory- 
menes, and Nicanor, and Gorgias, mighty men ^ of 
the king's friends : 

39 And with them he sent forty thousand footmen, 
and seven thousand horsemen, to go into the land of 
Juda, and to destroy' it, as the king commanded. 

40 So they went forth with all th.eir power, and 
came and pitched by '' Emmaus in the plain country. 

41 And the merchants of the country, hearing the 
fame of them, took silver and gold very much, with 
II servants, and came into the camp to buy the children 
of Israel for slaves : a power also of Syria and of the 
land II of the Philistines joined themselves unto them. 

42 Now when Judas and his brethren saw that 
miseries wei-e multiplied, and that the forces did en- 
camp themselves in their borders; for they knew how 
* the king had given commandment to destroy the 
people, and utterly abolish them ; 

43 They said one to another. Let us restore the de- 
cayed estate of our people, and let us fight for our 
people and the sanctuary. 

44 Then was the congregation gathered together, 
that they might be ready for battle, ' and that they 
might pray, and ask mercy and compassion. 

45 Now Jerusalem lay " void as a wilderness, there 
was none of her children that went in or out : ^ the 
sanctuary also was trodden down, and aliens kept the 
strong hold ; the heathen had their habitation in that 
place ; and joy was taken from Jacob, and the pipe 
with the harp ceased. 

46 Wherefore the Israelites assembled themselves 
together, and came to || Maspha, over against Jerusa-

( lem ; for in Maspha was the place where they prayed 
^ aforetime in Israel. 

47 Then they fasted that day, and put on sackcloth, 
and cast ashes upon their heads, and rent their clothes, 

48 And laid open the book of the law, || wherein the 
heathen had sought to paint the likeness of their images. 

49 They brought also the priests' garments, and 
the first-fruits, and the tithes : and the ^ Nazarites they 
stirred up, who had accomplished their days. 

50 Then cried they with a loud voice towards hea- 
ven, saying, WHiat shall we do with these, and whither 
shall we carry them awa}' ^ 

51 ^ For th}^ sanctuary is trodden down and profa- 
ned, and thy priests are in heaviness, and brought low. 

52 And lo, the heathen are assembled together 
against us to destroy us : what things they imagine 
against us, thou knowest. 

53 '^ How shall we be able to stand against them, 
except thou, O God, be our help ? 

54 Then sounded they with trumpets, and cried 
with a loud voice. 

55 And after this Judas ordained captains over the 
people, even captains over thousands, and over hun- 
dreds, and over fifties, and over tens. 

56 But as for such as ^ w ere building houses, or had 
betrothed wives, or were planting vineyards, or "^ were 
fearful, those he commanded that they should return, 
every man to his own house, according to the law. 

57 So the camp removed, and pitched upon the 
south side of '^ Emmaus. 

58 And Judas said. Arm yourselves, and be valiant 
men, and see that ye be in readiness against the morn- 
ing, that ye may fight with these nations, that are as- 
sembled together against us to destroy us and our 
sanctuary : 

59 " For it is better for us to die in battle, than to 
behold the calamities of our people and our sanctuary. 

60 Nevertheless, ^ as the will of God is in heaven, 
so let him do. 

CHAPTER IV. 

6 Jndas defeateth the plot, 14 and forces of Gorgias, 23 and spoileth 
tlieir tents, 34 and overthroweth Lysias : 45 He puUeth down the 
altar which the heathen had profaned, and setteth up a new one : 
60 and makelh a wall about Sion. 

f 1 1 HEN took " Gorgias five thousand footmen, and a ch. 3, 3S 
_i_ a thousand of the best horsemen, and removed 
out of the camp by right ; 

2 To the end he might rush in upon the camp of 
the Jews, and smite them suddenly. And the men of the 
fortress were his guides. 

3 Now when Judas heard thereof, he himself re- 
moved, and the valiant men with him, that he might 
smite the king's army which was at ^ Emmaus, 

4 While as yet the forces were dispersed from the 
camp. 

5 In the mean season came Gorgias by night into 
the camp of Judas : and when he found no man there, 

he sought them " in the mountains : for said he. These c ch. 2, 25 
fellows flee from us. 

6 But as soon as it was day, Judas shewed himself In 
the plain with three thousand men, who nevertheless 
had neither || armour nor swords to their minds. 

7 And they saw the camp of the heathen, that 
it was strong and well harnessed, and compassed 
round about with horsemen ; and these were expert 
of war. 

8 Then said Judas to the men that were with him,

12 Then the strangers lifted up their eyes, and saw 
them coming over against them. 

13 Wherefore they went out of the camp to batde ; 
but they that were with Judas ^ sounded their trumpets. 

14 So they joined batde, and the heatlien being dis- 
comfited fled into the plain. 

15 Hovvbeit all die hindmost of them were slain with 
the sword : for they pursued them unto f Gazera, and 
unto the plains of Idumea, and Azotus, and Janmia, so 
that there were slain of them about three thoiisand 
men. 

16 This done, Judas returned again with his host 
from pursuing them.

34 So tliey joined batde ; and there were slain of tlie 
host of Lysias about five thousand men, even before 
them were diey slain. 

35 Now when Lysias saw his army put to flight, and 
the manliness of Judas' soldiers, and how they were 

ready either to live or ^ die valianll)^, he went into An- pch.3, 69.

37 Upon this all the host assembled diemselves to-

19 As Judas was yet speaking these words, there 
appeared a part of them looking out of the mountain :

40 And fell down flat to the ground upon their faces,

41 Then Judas appointed certain men to fight against

went over Jordan, and travelled tliree days' journey in

32 He said unto liis host. Fight tliis day for your 
brethren. 

33 So he went forth behind them in tliree companies, 
° who sounded their trumpets, and cried with pra3'er. 

34 Then the host of Timotheus, knowing that it 
was Maccabeus, fled from him : wherefore he smote 
tliem with a great slaughter ; so that there were kill- 
ed of them that day about eight thousand men. 

35 This done, Judas turned aside to Maspha ; and 
after he had assaulted it, he took it, p and slew all the 
males therein, and received the spoils thereof, and 
burned it witli fire. 

30 From thence went he, and took '' Casphon, Ma- 
ged, Bosor, and the other cities of the country of 
Galaad. 

37 After these things gathered Timotheus another 
host, and encamped against Raphon beyond the brook. 

3S So Judas sent men to espy the host, who brought 
him word, saying, "■ All the heathen that be round about 
us are assembled unto them, even a very great iiost. 

39 He liatli also hired the Arabians to help them,

40 Then * Timotheus said unto the captains of his 
host, Wlien Judas and his host come near the brook, 
if he pass over first unto us, we shall not be able to 
withstand him ; for he will mightily prevail against us: 

41 But if lie be afraid, and camp beyond tiie river, 
we shall go over unto liim, and prevail against him. 

42 Now when Judas came near ' tlie brook, he 
caused the scribes of the people to remain by the 
brook : unto whom he gave commandment, saying, 
" Sufler no man to remain in the camp, but let all 
come to the battle. 

43 So he went first over unto them, and all the 
people after him : then all the heathen, being discom- 
fited before him, cast away their weapons, and fled 
unto tiie temple that was at Carnaim.

that were in the country of Galaad, from the least un- 
to the greatest, even their wives, and their children, 
and their stufl", a very great host, to the end they might 
couic into the land of Judea. 

46 Now when they came unto Ephron, (this was a 
great city in the way as they should go, very well for- 
tified) they could not turn from it, either on the right 
hand or the left, but must needs pass through the midst 
of it. 

47 Then they of the city shut them out, and stop- 
ped up the gates with stones. 

48 Whereupon Judas sent unto them ^' in peaceable 
manner, saying, Let us pass through your land to go 
into our own country, and none shall do you any hurt ; 
we will only pass through on foot : howbeit they would 
not open unto him. 

41) Wherefore Judas commanded a proclamation 
to be made throughout the host, that every man 
should pitch his tent in the place where he was. 

50 So the soldiers' pitched, and assaulted the city

wherein were || coverings of gold, and breast-plates,

iMacedonian king, who ^ reigned first among the 
Grecians, had left there. 

3 Wherefore he came and sought to take the city,

the city, having had warning thereof, 

4 Rose up against him in battle : so he fled, and

43 ^ Eleazar also, surnamed Savaran, perceiving 
that one of the beasts, armed with royal harness, was 
higher than all the rest, and ^ supposing that the king 
was upon him, 

44 Put himself in jeopard}', to the end he might 
deliver his people, and get him a perpetual name : 

45 Wherefore he ran upon him courageously 
through the midst of the battle, slaying on the right 
hand and on the left, |j so that they were divided 
from him on both sides. 

46 Wliich done, he crept under the elephant, and 
thrust him under, and slew him : whereupon the ele- 
phant fell down upon him, and there he died. 

47 Howbeit, the rest of the Jews seeing the strength 
of the king, and the violence of his forces, turned 
away from them. 

48 TT Then the king's army went up to Jerusalem 
to meet them, and the king '^ pitched his tents || against 
Judea, and against mount Sion. 

49 But with them that were in Bethsura he made 
peace : || for they came out of the city, because they 
had no victuals there to endure the siege, it being a 
year of rest to the land. 

50 So the king took Bethsura, and set a garrison 
there to keep it. 

51 As for the sanctuary, he besieged it many days: 
and 11 set ti)ere artiUery with engines and instnnnents to 
cast fire and stones, and pieces to cast darts and slings. 

52 Whereupon || they also made engines against 
their engines, and held them battle a long season. 

53 Yet at the last, their vessels being without vic- 
tuals, (for that it was the " seventh year, and they in 
Judea that were delivered from the Gentiles, had eat- 
en up the residue of the store :) 

54 There were but a few left in tlie sanrtuar}', be- 
cause the famine did so prevail agairst them, that they 
were fain to disperse themselves, every rnan to his o\mi 
place. 

^5 At that time ^ Lj'sias heard say, that " Philip, 
wiiom Antiochus the king, while he lived, had ap- 
pointed to bring up his son Antiochus, that he might 
be king, 

56 Was returned out of Persia and Media, and the 
king's host also that went with him, and that he sought 
to take unto him the ruling of the affairs. 

57 Wlierefore he went in all haste, and said to the 
king and the captains of the host and the company, 
We decay daily, and our victuals are but small, and 
the place we lay siege unto is strong, and the afl'airs 
of tiie kingdom lie upon us : 

58 Now therefore let us f be friends with these 
men, and make peace with them, and with all their 
nation ; 

59 And covenant with them, that they shall live 
after ■* their laws, as they did before : for they are 
therefore displeased, and have done all these things, 
because we abolisiied their laws. 

60 So the king and the princes were content : 
wherefore he sent unto them to make peace; and 
they accepted thereof 

61 Also the king and the princes made an oath unto 
them : whereupon they went out of the strong hold. 

62 Then the king entered into *-' mount Sion ; but 
when he saw the strength of the place, ^ he brake his' 



^ oath that he had made, and gave commandment to 
pull down the wall round about. 

63 Afterward departed he in all haste, and return- 
ed unto Antiochia, where he found Philip to be mas- 
ter of the city : so he fought against him, and took 
the city by force.

IN the hundred and one and fiftieth year, "^ Deme- 
trius the son of Seleucus departed from Rome, and 
came up with a few men unto || a city of the sea-coast, 
and reigned diere. 

2 And as he entered into the f palace of his ances- 
tors, so it was, that his forces had taken ^ Antiochus 
and Ljsias, to bring them unto him. 

3 Wherefore, \\ hen he knew it, he said, Let me not 
see their faces. 

4 So his host slew them. Now when Demetrius 
was set upon the throne of his kingdom, 

5 Tliere came unto him all tlie wicked and '^ un- 
godl}' men of Israel, having Alcinms, who was de- 
sirous to be high priest, for their captain : 

6 And they accused the people to the king, saying, 
Judas and his brethren have slain all thy friends, and 
driven us out of our own land. 

7 Now therefore send some man whom thou trust- 
est, and let lilm go and see what havock he hath made 
among us, and in llie king's land, and let him punish 
them wiili all them that aid them. 

8 Then the king chose Bacciiides, a friend of the 
king, who ruled '' beyond the flood, and was a great 
man in the kingdom, and faithful to the king. 

9 And him he sent with that wicked * Alcimus, 
whom he made high priest, and commanded that he 
should take vengeance of the children of Israel. 

10 So they departed, and came with a great pow- 
er into tiie land of Judea, where they sent messengers 
to Judas and his brethren with peaceable words ^ de- 
ceitfully'. 

11 But they gave no heed to their words ; for they 
saw that they were come widi a great power. 

12 Then did there assemble unto Alcimus and Bac- 
chldes a company of || scribes, to require justice. 

13 Now the t' Assldeans were the first among the 
children of Israel that sought peace of them : 

14 For said they. One that is a priest of the seed 
of Aaron is come with this army, and he will do us no 
wrong. 

15 So he spake unto them peaceably, and sware 
unto them, saying. We will procure the harm neither 
of 3'uu nor your friends. 

16 Whereupon tiiey believed him : howbeit he took 
of them threescore men, and slew them in one day, 
according to the words which he wrote, 

17 "" The flesh of thy saints have they cast out, and 
their blood have they shed round about Jerusalem, 
and there was none to bury them. 

18 Wherefore tiie fear and dread of them fell upon 
all the people, wlio said. There Is neither truth nor 
I righteousness In them ; i for they have broken the 
covenant and oath that they made.

22 And unto him resorted all such as troubled the

23 Now when Judas saw all the mischief that Alci-

' even above the heathen, 

24 He went out into all the coasts of Judea round

that he could. 

26 Then the king sent Nicanor, one of his ho- 
rn ch. 6, 61. nourable ™ princes, a man that bare deadly hate unto 

Israel, with commandment to destroy the people. 

27 So Nicanor came to Jerusalem with a great 
force ; and sent unto Judas and his brethren deceitful- 
ly wilh J friendly words, saying, 

28 Let there be no battle between me and you ; I 
will come with a few men, that I may f see you in peace. 

29 He came therefore to Judas, and they saluted 
one another peaceably. Howbeit the enemies were 
prepared to take away Judas by violence. 

30 Which thing after it was known to Judas, to wit, 
that he came unto him with deceit, he was sore afraid 
of him, and " would see his face no more. 

31 Nicanor also, when he saw that his counsel was 
discovered, went out to f fight against Judas beside 
II Capharsalama : 

32 Where there were slain of Nicanor's side about 
five thousand men, and the rest fled into the ° city of 
David. 

33 After this went Nicanor up to mount Sion, and 
there came out of the sanctuary certain of the priests 
and certain of the elders of the people, to salute him 
peaceably, and to shew him the burnt-sacrifice that 
was offered for the king. 

34 But he mocked them, and laughed at them, 
t Gr dejled and f abused them shamefully, and spake proudly, 

35 And sware in his wrath, saying. Unless Judas 
and his host be now delivered into my hands, if ever 
I come again \ in safety, I will burn up this house : 
and witli that he went out in a great rage. 

pJoel2,n. 3Q Then the priests entered in, and ^ stood before 
the altar and the temple, weeping, and saying,

petition for thy people : 

33 Be avenged of this man and his host, and let 
them fall by the sword : remember their blasphemies, 
and suffer them not to continue any longer. 

39 So Nicanor went out of Jerusalem, and pitched 
his tents in Beth-horon, where an host out of Syria 
met him. 

40 But Judas pitched in Adasa with three thousand 
men, and there he prayed, saying.

43 So the thirteenth day of the month Adar the

9 Moreover how the ■• Grecians had determined to 
come and destro}' them ; 

10 And that they, having knowledge thereof, sent 
(1 ch. 1, 1. against them a certain captain, and fighting with them 

slew many of them, and carried away captives their 
wives and their children, and spoiled them, and took 
possession of their lands, and pulled down their strong 
holds, and brought them to be their servants unto 
this day : 

11 It was told him besides, how they destroyed and 
brouglit under tiieir dominion all other kingdoms and 

ich.6,29. » isles that at any time resisted them ; 

12 But with their friends and such as relied upon 
them they kept amity : and that they had conquered 
kingdoms both far and nigh, insomuch as all that 
heard of their name were afraid of them : 

13 Also tliat, whom they would help to a king- 
dom, those reign; and whom again they would, they 
displace : finally, that they were greatly exalted : 

kEst. 6,8. 14 Yet for all this none of them wore a '' crown, or 
was clotlied in purple, to be magnified thereby : 

15 Moreover how the}' had made for themselves a 
senate-house, wherein three hundred and twenty men 
sat in council daily, consulting always for the people, 
to tlie end they may be well ordered : 

IG And that they committed their government to 
one man every year, who ruled over all their country, 
and that all were obedient to that one, and lliat tiiere 
was neither envy nor emulation among them. 

17 In consideration of these things, Judas chose 
EupoIeu)us tlie son of John, the son of Accos, and Ja- 
I verse 12. son tlie son of Eleazar, and sent them to Rome, ' to 
make a league of amity and confederacy with tiicm, 

IS ..lad to entreat them that they would take the 
yoke from them ; for they saw that the kingdom of 
the '" Grecians did oppress Israel with servitude. 

19 They went therefore to Rome, which was a very 
great journey, and came into the " senate, where they 
spake and said, 

20 Judas Maccabeus with his brethren, and the 
people of tiie Jews, have sent us unto you, to make ° a 
confederacy and peace with you, and that we might 
be registered your confederates and friends. 

21 So that matter p-leased the Romans well. 

22 And this is the copy of the epistle which the se- 
nate wrote back again on tables of brass, and sent to 
Jerusalem, that there they might have by them a me- 
morial of peace and confederacy. 

23 1' Good success be to the Romans, and to the 
people of the Jews, by sea and by land for ever : the 
sword also and enemy be far from them. 

24 If there come first any war upon the Romans or 
any of their confederates throughout all their dominion, 

2D The people of the Jews shall help them, as the 
time shall be appointed, with '^ all their heart : 

2G Neither shall they give any thing unto them 
that make war upon them, or aid them with victuals, 
weapons, money, or ships, as it hath seemed good 
unto the Romans ; but they shall keep their covenants 
without taking any thing therefore. 

27 In the sanie manner also, if war come first upon 
the nation of the Jews, the Romans shall help them 
with all their heart, according as the time shall be ap- 
pointed them : 

28 ■■ Neither shall victuals be given to them diat 
take part against them, or weapons, or money, or

ships, as it hath seemed good to the Romans ; but they

29 According to these articles did the Romans 
make * a covenant with the people of the Jews. s verse n. 

30 Howbeit, if hereafter tlie one party or the other 
shall think meet to add or diminish any thing, they 
may do it at their pleasures, and whatsoever they shall 
add or take away shall be ratified. 

31 And as touching the evils that* Demetrius doeth * ch. 7, l. 
to the Jews, we have written unto him, saying, 
Wherefore hast thou made tliy yoke heavy upon our 
friends and confederates the Jews .'* 

32 If therefore they complain any more against 
thee, we will do them justice, and fight widi thee by

CHAPTER IX. 

1 Alcimus and Bacchides come again with new forces info Judea : 7 
The army of Judas llee from him, 17 and he is slaiti: 30 .Jonathan 
is in his place, 40 and revengeth his brother John's qnarrel. 55 
Alcimus is plagued, and dieth. 70 Bacchides maketu peace with 
Jonathan. 



FURTHERMORE, when Demetrius heard " that 
Nicanor and his host were slain in batde, f he 
sent Bacchides and Alcinms into the land of Judea 
the second time, and with them || the chief strength of 
his host : 

2 Who went forth by die wa\' that leadeth to |] Gal- 
gala, and pitched their tents before Masalotli, « hich 
is in Arbela, and after they had won it, they slew 
much people. 

3 Also the first month of the hundred fift}' and se- 
cond year they encamped before Jerusalem : 

4 From whence they moved and went to || Berea, 
with twenty thousand footmen, and two thousand 
horsemen. 

5 Now Judas had pitched his tents at Eleasa, and 
three thousand chosen men with him : 

G Who seeing the multitude of the other army to be 
so great, '' were sore afraid ; whereupon many con- 
veved themselves out of the host, insomuch as there 
abode of them no more but eight hundred men. 

7 When Judas therefore saw that his host slipped 
awaj', and that the battle pressed upon him, he was 
sore troubled in mind, "= and much distressed, for that 
he had no time to gather them together. 

8 Nevertheless, unto them that remained, he said, 
Let us arise and go up against our enemies, if perad- 
venture we may be able to fight with them. 

9 But tiiey dehorted him, saying. We shall never 
be able : || let us now rather save our lives, and here- 
after we will return with our brethren, and fight 
against them : for we are but lew. 

10 Then Judas said, "^ God forbid that I should do 
this thing, and flee away from them; if our time be 
come, let us die tnanfulfy for our brethren, and f let 
us not stain our honour. 

] 1 With that the host of Bacchides removed out of 
their tents, and stood over against |1 them, their horse- 
men being divided into two troops, and their slingers 
and archers going before the host, and they that 
marched in the foreward were all mighty men. 

12 As for Bacchides, he was in the right wing: so 
the host drew near on the two parts, and sounded 
their trumpets. 

13 They also of Judas' side, * even they sounded 
their trumpets also, so ' that the earth shook at the

he returned to the khig : whereupon the land of Judea 
" was in rest two years. 

58 Then all the ungodly men held a council, saying, 
Behold, Jonathan and his company are at ease, and 
dwell without care : now therefore we will bring Bac- 
chides hither, who shall take them all in one night. 

59 So they went and ^ consulted with him. 

60 Then removed he, and came with a great host, 
and sent letters prlvil\- to his adherents in Judea, that 
they should take Jonathan and those that were with 
him : liowbeit they could not, ^ because their counsel 
was known unto them. 

61 Wherefore they took of the men of the country, 
that were authors of that mischief, about fifty persons, 
and slew them. 

62 Afterward Jonathan, and Simon, and they that 
were witli him, got them away to Betlibasi, which is 
Ih the wilderness, and they repaired the decays there- 
of, and made it strong. 

G3 Which thing when Bacchides knew, he gathered 
together all =" his host, and sent word || to lliem that 
were of Judea. 

64 Then went he and laid siege against Beth- 
basi ; and they fought against it a long season, and 
made engines of war. 

65 But Jonathan left his brother Simon in the city, 
and went forth himself into the country, and with a 
certain number went he forth. 

66 And he smote |} Odonarkes and his brethren, 
and the children of Phasiron in their tent. 

G7 And when he began to smite them, and came 
up with his forces, Simon and his company' went out 
of the city, and burned up ^ the engines of war, 

68 And foutrht against Bacchides, who was discom- 
fited by them, and thoy atHicted him sore : for his 
counsel and travail was in vain. 

69 Wherefore he was very wroth at the "^ wicked 
men that gave him counsel to come into the country, 
insomuch that he slew many of them, aird purposed to 
return into his own country. 

70 AVhereof when Jonathan had knowledge, he 
sent ambassadors unto him, ^ to the end he should 
make jieace with him, and deliver them the prisoners. 

71 Which thing he accepted, and did according to 
his demands, and sware unto him that he would never 
do him harm all the days of his life. 

72 When therefore he had restored unto him the 
prisoners that he had taken aforetime out of the land 
of Judea, he returned and went his way into his own 
land, "■■ neither f came he any more into their borders. 

73 Thus the sword ceased from Israel : but Jona- 
than dwelt at JMachmas, and began to f govern the peo- 
ple ; and he destroj'ed the ^ ungodly men out of Israel. 

CHAPTER X. 

1 Demetrius maketli large ofl'-^rs lo have peace with Jonathan : 25

""N the hundred and si.vtieth year Alexander, || the 
son of Antiochus svrnamtd Eplphanes, went up 
and took " Ptolemais : for the people had received 
him, by means whereof lie reigned there. 

2 Now when king Demetrius heard thereof, he 
gathered together an e.vceeding great host, and went 
forth against liiin to fight. 




c verso 2. 



d ch. 6, 18. 



3 Moreover, Demetrius sent letters unto Jonathan 
with loving words, so as he magnified him. 

4 For, said he, '' Let us first make peace with him, 
before he join with Alexander against us : 

5 Else he will remember all the evils that we have 
done against him, and against his brethren and his 
people. 

6 W'herefore he gave him authority to "^ gather to- 
gether an host, and to provide weapons, that he might 
aid him in battle : he commanded also that the hostages 
that were in the tower siiould be delivered him. 

7 Then came Jonathan to Jerusalem, and read the 
letters in the audience of all the people, and of them 
that were in the '' tower : 

S Who were sore afraid, uhen they heard that the 
king had given him authority to gather together an host. 

9 ^\ hereupon the}' of die tower "^delivered their e verse 6. 
hostages unto Jonathan, and he delivered them unto 

their patents. 

10 This done, Jonathan settled himself in Jerusa- 
lem, and began to build and repair the cit}'. 

11 And he commanded the workmen to build 'the fch. 1,31 
walls and the mount Sion round about with square 
stones for fortification ; and they did so. 

12 Then the strangers, that were in the fortresses 
which Bacchides had built, lied away ; 

13 Insomtich as every man left his place, and went 
into his own countrv. 

14 Only at Bethsura certain of those that had for- 
saken the law and the commandments remained still : 
for it was their place of refiige. 

15 Now when king Alexander had heard what pro- 
mises Dcnietrius ^ had sent unto Jonathan : when also g verse 6. 
it was told him of tlie battles and noble acts which he 

and his brethren had done, and of the pains tiiat they 
had endured, 

16 He said, Shall we find such another man .'' now 
therefore we will make him our friend and confederate. 

17 Upon this he wrote a letter, and sent it unto 
him, according to these words, saying, 

18 King '' Alexander to his brother Jonathan send h verse i. 
eth greeting : 

19 We have heard of thee, that thou art a man of 
great power, and meet to be our friend. 

20 Wherefore now this day we ordain thee to be the 

high priest of thy nation, and to be called ' the king's ich. 2, 13. 
friend; (and therewithal he sent him ^ a purple robe k ch. 8, U 
and a crown of gold :) and require thee to take our 
part, and keep friendship with us. 

21 So in the seventh month of the hundred and 
sixtieth year, at the feast of the tabernacles, Jonathan 
put on the holy robe, and gathered together forces, 
and provided much armour. 

22 Whereof when Demetrius heard, he was very 
sorry, and said, 

23 What have we done, that Alexander hath pre- 
vented us in making amity with the Jews to strength- 
en himself.'' 

24 1 also will write unto them words of encourage- 
ment, ' and 'promise them dignities and gifts, that 1 may l^erse 15. 
have their aid. 

25 He sent unto them therefore to this effect : King 
Demetrius unto the people of the Jews sendeth greeting:

them, because they remembered the great evil that he 
had done in Israel ; ^ for he had afl^icted them very sore. 

47 But with Alexander they were well pleased, be- 
cause he was the first that entreated of true peace with 
them, and they were confederate with him always. 

48 Then gathered king Alexander great forces, 
and camped over against Demetrius. 

49 And after the two kings had joined battle, De- 
metrius' host fled : but Alexander followed after him, 
and "^ prevailed against them. 

50 And he continued the battle very sore until the 
sun went down : and that day was Demetrius slain. 

51 Afterward Alexander sent '^ ambassadors to 
Ptolemee king of Egypt with a message to this effect : 

52 Forasmuch as I am come again to my realm, 
and am set in the throne of my progenitors, and have 
gotten the dominion, and overthrown Demetrius, and 
recovered our country ; 

53 For after 1 had joined battle with him, both he 
and his host was discomfited by us, so that we sit in 
the throne of his kingdom : 

54 Now therefore let us make a league ^ of amity 
together, and give me now thy daughter to wife : and 
I will be thy son-in-law, and will give both thee and 
her gifts according to thy dignity. 

55 Then Ptolemee the king gave answer, saying, 
Happy be the day wherein thou didst return into the 

land of thy fathers, and sattest Hn the throne of their f''erse53 
kingdom. 

56 And now will I do to thee, as thou hast written : 
meet me therefore at Ptolemais, that we may see one 
another ; for I will marry my daughter to thee ^ ac- S verse 54 
cording to thy desire. 

57 So Ptolemee went out of Egypt with his daugh- 
ter Cleopatra, and they came unto Ptolemais in the 
hundred threescore and second year : 

58 Where king Alexander meeting him, gave unto 
him his daughter Cleopatra, and celebrated her mar- 
riage at Ptolemais with great glory, '' as the manner hSeeEsth 
of kings is. ' 

59 Now king Alexander had written unto Jona- 
than, that he should come and meet him. 

60 Who thereupon went honourably to Ptolemais, 
where he met the two kings, and gave them and their 

many presents, and

62 Yea more than that, the king commanded to 
take ofi'his garments, and clothe him in ' purple : and 'ch.8, 14. 
they did so. 

63 Also he made him sit by himself, and said unto 
his princes, Go with him into the midst of the city 
and make proclamation, that no man complain against 
him of any matter, and that no man trouble him for 
any manner of cause.

64 Now w hen his ™ accusers saw that he was ho- 
noured according to the proclamation, and clothed in 
purple, they fled all away. 

65 So the king honoured him, and wrote him 
among his chief friends, and made him a duke, and 
II partaker of his dominion. 

66 Afterward Jonathan returned to Jerusalem with 
peace and gladness. 

67 Furthermore in the hundred threescore and fifth 
year cair.e Demetrius son of Demetrius out of" Crete 
into the land of his fathers : 

68 Whereof when king Alexander heard tell, he 
was riglit sorry, and returned into Antioch. 

69 Then Demetrius made ApoUonius the governor 
of Celosyria his general, who gatliered together a 
great host, and camped in Jamnia, and sent unto Jo- 
nathan the high priest, saying, 

70 Thou alone liftest up tiiyself against us, and ° I 
am laughed to scorn for thy sake, and reproached : 
and why dost thou vaunt thy power against us in the 
mountains .'' 

71 Now therefore, if thou trustest in thine own 
strength, come down to us into the plain field, and 
there let us try the matter together : for with me is the 
power of the cities. 

72 Ask and learn who I am, and the rest that take 
our part, and they shall tell thee that thy foot is not 
able to stand before our face; for thy fathers have 
been twice put to flight in their own land. 

73 Wherefore now thou slialt not be able to abide 
P the horsemen and so great a power in the plain, where 
is neither stone nor flint, nor place to flee unto. 

74 So when Jonathan heard these words of Apol- 
lonius, "i he was moved in his mind, and choosing ten 
thousand men, he went out of Jerusalem, where Simon 
his brollier met him for to help him. 

15 And he pitched his tents against Joppe : but 
they of Joppe shut him out of the city, because Apol- 
Jonius had a garrison there. 

76 Then Jonathan laid siege unto it : whereupon 
they of the city let him in for fear : and so Jonathan 
won Joppe. 

77 Whereof when ApoUonius heard, he took three 
thousand horsemen, with a great host of footmen, and 
went to ■■ Azotus || as one that journeyed, and there- 
withal II drew hini forth into the plain, because he had 
a great number of horsemen, in whom he put his trust. 

78 Then Jonathan followed after him to Azotus, 
where the armies joined battle. 

79 Now ' ApoUonius had left a thousand horsemen 
in ambush. 

80 And Jonathan knew that there was an ambush- 
ment behind him ; for they had compassed in his host, 
and cast darts at the people, from morning till evening. 

81 liut the people stood still, as Jonathan had com- 
manded tliem : and so the 1| enemies' horses were tired. 

82 Then brought Simon forth his host, and set 
them against the footmen (for the horsemen were 
spent,) who were discomfited by him, and fled. 

83 The horsemen also, being scattered in the field, 
fled to ' Azotus, and went into Beth-dagon, their 
idol's temple, for safety. 

84 ]3ut Jonathan set fire on Azotus, and the cities 
round about it, and took their spoils; and the " tem- 
ple of Dagon, with tl.-em that were fled into it, he 
burned with fire.

86 And from thence Jonathan removed his host, v..^-v-«^ 
and camped against ^ Ascalon, wliere the men of the x i Sam. 6 
city came forth, and met him with great pomp. 

87 After this returned Jonathan and his host unto 
Jerusalem, having many spoils. 

88 Now when king Alexander lieard these things, 
he honoured Jonathan ^' yet more, 

89 And sent him a buckle of gold, as the use is to 
be given to such as are of the king's blood : he gave 
him also Accaron with the borders thereof in possession. 

CHAPTER XI.

57 Antiochus the younger honourelh Jonathan : 61 His exploits in

ND the king of Egypt gathered together a great 
host, like "' the sand that lieth upon the sea- 
shore, and many ships, and went about through deceit 
to get Alexa4ider's kingdom, and join it to his own. 

2 Whereupon he took his journey into Syria in 
peaceable manner, so as they of the cities opened unto 
him, and met him : for king Alexander had command^ 
ed them so to do, ** because he was his father-in-law. 

3 Now as Ptolemee entered into the cities, he set 
in every one of them a garriscn of soldiers to keep it. 

4 And when he came iieTr to Azotus, they shewed 
him the '^ temple of Dagon that was burnt, and Azo- 
tus and the suburbs thereof that were destroyed, and 
the bodies that were cast abroad, and them that he 
had burnt in the battle ; for they had made heaps of 
them by the way where he should pass. 

5 Also they told th.e king whatsoever Jonathan had 
done, to the intent he might blame him : but the king 
held his peace. 

6 Then Jonathan met the king '' with great pomp 
at Joppe, where they saluted one another, and f lodged. 

7 Afterward Jonathan, when lie had gone with the 
king to the river called Eleutherus, returned again to 
Jerusalem. 

8 King Ptolemee therefore, having gotten the do- 
minion of the cities by the sea unto Seleucia upon the 
sea-coast, imagined " wicked counsels against Al- 
exander. 

9 Whereupon he sent ambassadors unto king De- 
metrius, saying. Come, let us make a league betwixt 
us, and I will give thee ^ my daughter whom Alexan- 
der hath, and thou shalt reign in thy father's kingdom : 

10 Ft>r I repent that I gave my daughter unto hirn, 
for he sought to slay me. 

1 1 Thus did he e slander him, because he was de- 
sirous of his kingdom. 

12 Wherefore he took his daughter from him, and 
gave her to Demetrius, and forsook Alexander, so that 
their hatred was openly known. 

13 Then Ptolemee entered into Antioch, where he 

set two '' crowns upon his head, the crown of Asia, •* ch. 8, H 
and of Egypt. 

14 In the mean season was king Alexander in Ci- 
licia, because those that dwelt in those parts had I'e- 
volted from hitn. 

15 But when Alexander heard of this, he came to 
war against him : whereupon king Ptolemee brought

forth Ms host, and met him with a mighty power, and 
put him to flight. 

16 So Alexander fled into ' Arabia, there to be de- 
i Gal.l, 17. fended ; but king Ptolemee was exalted : 

17 For Zabdie! the Arabian took ofi" Alexander's 
head, and sent it unto Ptolemee. 

18 King Ptolemee also died the third day after, 
J and they tliat were in the strong holds were slain 
one of another. 

19 By this means Demetrius reigned in the hun- 
dred threescore and seventh year. 

20 At the same time Jonathan gathered together them 
that were in Judea, to take the '' tower that was in Je- 
rusalem : and he made many engines of war against it. 

21 Then certain ungodly persons, who hated their 
own people, went unto the king, and told him that 
Jonathai: besieged the tower. 

22 Whereof when he heard, he was angry, and 
Ich. 10,53. inmiediately removing, he came to ' Ftolemais, and 

wrote unto Jonathan, that he should not lay siege to 
the tower, but come and speak with him at Ptolemais 
in great haste. 

23 Nevertheless Jonathan, when he heard this, com- 
manded to besiege it still: and he chose certain of the

38 After this, when king Demetrius saw that the s2Pet. 1, 
land was quiet before h.im, and that no resistance was 
made against him, he sent away all his forces, every 
or.e to his own place, except certain bands of strangers, 
whom he liad gathered from the ' isles of the heathen : tOen. 10,5 
wherefore all the forces of his fathers hated him. 

39 Moreover, there was one Tryphon, that had 
been of Alexander's part afore, who, seeing that all 
the host murmured against Demetrius, went to Simal- 
cue the Arabian, that brought up Antiochus the young 
son of Alexander, 

40 And lay sore upon him to deliver him this young 
Antiochus, that he might reign in his father's stead: 
he told him therefore all .that Demetrius had done, 
and " how his men of war were at enmity with him ; u verse 38.

41 In the mean time Jo.nathan sent unto king De-

fought against Israel.

Jonathan of all these things after this manner :

unto the nation of the Jews, sendeth greeting :

49 So when they of the city saw that the Jews had

60 Then Jonathan 1| went forth, and passed through 
the cities beyond the water, and all the forces of Sj'ria 
galiiered themselves unto him for to help him : and 
when he came to Ascalon, they of the city met him 
honourably. 

61 From whence he went to Gaza, but they of Gaza

burned || the suburbs thereof with fire, and spoiled them.

took the sons of their chief men for hostages, and sent

and took tiic city, and set a garrison in it. 

67 As for Jonatiian and his iiost, they pitched at 
the water of Gennesar, from whence betimes in the 
morning they gat them to tlie plain of Nasor. 

68 And behold, the host of strangers met them in

they turned again unto him, and with iiim pursued

24 Now when Jonathan heard that Demetrius' 
princes were come to fight against hira with a greater 
host than afore, 

25 He removed from Jerusalem, and met them in 
the land of Amathis : for he gave them no respite || to 
enter his country. 

26 He sent spies also unto their tents, who came 
again, and told him tl^at they were appointed to come 
upon them in the night season. 

27 Wherefore so soon as the sun was down, Jona- 
than commanded liis men to watch, " and to be in 
arms, that all the night long they might be ready to 
fight : also he sent forth centinels round about the host. 

28 But when the adversaries heard that Jonathan 
and his men were ready for battle, they feared, and 
trembled in their hearts, and || they kindled fires in 
their camp. 

29 Howbeit Jonathan and his company knew it not 
till the morning : for they saw the lights burning. 

30 Then Jonathan pursued after them, but over- 
took them not : for they were gone over ° the river 
Eleutherus. 

31 Wherefore Jonathan turned to the Arabians, 
who were colled f Zabadeans, and smote them, and 
took their spoils. 

32 And removing thence, he came to Damascus, 
and so passed through all the country. 

33 Simon also went forth, and passed through the 
country unto Ascalon, and the holds there adjoining, 
from whence he turned aside to Joppe, and won it. 

34 For he had heard that they would deliver the 
hold unto them that took Demetrius' part ; wherefore 
he set a garrison there to keep it. 

35 After this came Jonathan home again, and call- 
ing P the elders of the people together, he consulted 
with them about building strong holds in Judea, 

36 And making the walls of Jerusalem higher, and 
raising a great mount between '' the tower and the 
city, for to separate it from the city, that so it might 
be alone, that men might neither sell nor buy in it. 

37 Upon this they came together to build up the 
city, II forasmuch as part of the wall towards the 
brook on the east side was fallen down ; and they re- 
paired that which was called Caphenatha. 

33 Simon also set up Adida in Sephela, and made 
it strong with gates and bars. 

39 Now ■" Tryphon went about to get ' the king- 
dom of Asia, and to kill Antiochus the king, that he 
might set the crown upon his own head. 

40 Howbeit, he was afraid that Jonathan would 
not sufi'er him, and that he would fight against him ; 
wherefore he sought a way how to take Jonathan, that 
he might kill him. So he removed, and came to Bethsan. 

41 Then Jonathan went out to meet him with forty 
thousand men chosen for the battle, and came to 
Bethsan. 

42 Now when Tryphon saw that Jonathan came 
with so great a force, he durst not stretch his hand 
against him ; 

43 But received him honourably, ' and commend- 
ed him unto all his friends, and gave him gifts, and 
commanded his men of war to be as obedient luito 
him as to himself.

44 Unto Jonathan also he said. Why hast thou put 
all this people to so great trouble, seeing there is no 
war betwixt us f 

45 Therefore send them now home again, and 
choose a (ew men to wait on thee, and come thou with 
me to Ptoleniais, for I will give it thee, and the rest of 
the strong holds and forces, and all that have any 
charge : as for me, 1 will return and depart : for this 
is the cause of my coming. 

46 So Jonathan, " believing him, did as he bade 
him, and sent away his host, who went in the land of 
Judea. 

47 And with himself he retained but three thousand 
men, of whom he j sent two thousand into Galilee, 
and one thousand went with him. 

48 Now as soon as Jonathan entered into Ptolemais, 
they of Ptolemais shut the gates, and took him, and all 
them that came with him they slew with the sword. 

49 Tlien sent Tryphon an host of footmen and 
horsemen into " Galilee, and into the great plain, to 
destroy all Jonathan's company. 

50 But when they knew that Jonathan and they 
that were with him were taken and slain, they en- 
couraged one another, and went close together, pre- 
pared to fight. 

51 They therefore that followed upon them, per- 
ceiving that they were ready to fight for their lives, 
turned back again. 

52 Whereupon they all came into the land of Ju- 
dea peaceably', and there they ^ bewailed Jonathan, 
and them that were with hin), and they were sore 
afraid ; wherefore all Israel matie great lamentation. 

53 Then ^ all the heathen that were round about 
them sought to destroy them : for, said they. They 
have no captain, nor any to help them : now there- 
fore let us make war upon them, and take away their 
memorial from among men. 

CHAPTER Xni.

Demetrius, 40 and winneth Gaza, and the tower of Jerusalem. 

OW when Simon heard that ^ Tryphon had ga- ach.l2, 49. 
thered together a great host to invade the land 
of Judea, and destroy it, 

2 And saw that the people ''was in great trembling boh. 12, 52. 
and fear, he went up to Jerusalem, and gathered the 

people together, 

3 And gave them exhortation, saying. Ye your- 
selves know what great things I, " and my brethren, c ch. 2, 1 
and vPif father's house, have done for the laws and the 
sanctuary, the battles also and troubles which we have 

seen. 

4 By reason whereof all my brethren are slain for 
Israel's sake, and I am left alone. 

5 Now therefore be it far from me, that '^ I should d Luke 14, 
spare mine own life in any time of trouble : for I am 
no better than my brethren. 

6 Doubtless I will avenge my nation, and. the sanc- 
tuary, and our wives, and our children : for all the 
heathen are gathered to destroy us of very malice. 

7 Now as soon as the people heard these words, 
their spirit revived. 

8 And they answered with a loud voice, saying, 
Thou shalt be our leader instead of Judas and Jona- 
than thy brother

11 Also he sent Jonathan the son of Absalom, and 
with him a great power, to Joppe: who casting out 
them that were therein, remained there in it. 

12 So Tryphon removed from Ptolemais with a 
great power to invade the land of Judea, and Jona- 
than was with him in ward. 

fch.i2,3G. 13 But Simon pitched his tents at'^Adida, over 
against tlie plain. 

14 Now when Tryphon knew tliat Simon was risen 
up instead of his brother Jonathan, aufl meant to join 
battle with him, he sent messengers unto him, saving, 

15 ^V hereas we have Jonathan thy brother in hold, 
it is for money that he is owing unto the king's trea- 

II Or, /or //if sure, II concerning the business that was committed

|^^""/"t/, and two of his sons for iiostages, tliat when he is at li- 
berty lie may not revolt from us, and we will let him go. 

17 Hereupon Simon, albeit lie perceived tliat they 
spake *■' deceitfully unto him, yet sent he the money 
and the children, lest peradventure he should procure 
to himself great hatred of the people: 

18 Who might have said, Because I sent him not 
the money and the children, therefore is Jonathan 
dead. 

19 So he sent them the children and the hundred 
talents : howbeit Tryphon dissembled, neidier w ould 
he let Jonathan go. 

20 And after this came Tryphon to invade the 
land, and destroy it, going round about by the way 
that leadedi unto Adora : but Simon and his host 
marched against him in every place, wheresoever he 
went. 

21 Now they that were in the '' tower sent messen- 
gers unto Tryphon, to the end that he should hasten 
his coming unto them by the wilderness, and send 
them victuals. 

22 Wherefore Tryphon made ready all his horse- 
men to come that night : but there fell a very great 
snow, b}' reason whereof he came not. So he depart- 

cliap.5, 9. ed, and came into the country of' Galaad. 

23 And when he came near to Bascama, he slew 
Jonathan, who was buried there. 

24 Afterward Tryphon returned and went into his 
own land. 

25 Then sent Simon, and took the bones of Jona- 
than his brother, and buried them in ** Modin, the city 
of his fathers. 

26 And ' all Israel made great lamentation for him, 
and bewailed him many days. 

27 Simon also built a monument upon the sepul- 
chre of his father and his brethren, and raised it aloft 
to the sight, with hewn stone, behind and before. 

28 Moreover, he set up seven pyramids, one against 
another, for his father, and his mother, and his four 
brethren. 

29 And in these he made cunning devices, about 
the which he set great pillars, and upon the pillars he 
made all their armour for a "' perpetual memory, and 
by the armour ships carved, that thev might be seen 
^^ all that sail on the sea.

30 This is the sepulchre which he made at Modin, 
and it standeth jet unto this day. 

31 Now Trj'phon dealt deceitfu'V with, the 3'oung 
king Antiochus, ° and slew him. 

32 And he reigned in his stead, and crowned him- 
self king of Asia, and brought a great calamity upon 
the land. 

33 Then Simon " built up the strong holds in Ju- och. 12,35. 
dea, and fenced them about with high towers, and 

great walls, and gates, and bars, and laid up victuals 
f therein. 

34 Moreover, Simon chose men, and sent to king 
i Demetrius, to tlie end he should give the land an im- 
i munity, because f all that Tryphon did was to spoil. 
' 35 Unto whom king Demetrius ansu ered and wrote 

after this manner : 

36 King Demetrius unto Simon the high priest, 

and friend of kings, p as also unto the elders and na- pch.12,35 
tion of the Jews, sendeth greeting : 

37 The golden crown, and the scarlet robe, which 
ye sent unto us, we have received : and we are ready 
to make a stedfast peace with you, yen, and to write 
unto our officers, to confirm the immunities which we 
have granted. 

38 And whatsoever covenants we have made with 
you shall stand ; and the strong holds, which ye have 
builded, shall be your own. 

39 As for an}' oversight or fault committed unto 

tliis day, we forgive it, '^ and the crown tax also, which i chap. 11 
ye owe us : and if there were any other tribute paid 
in Jerusalem, it shall no more be paid. 

40 And look w ho are meet among you to be in our 
court, let them be enrolled, and let there be peace be- 
twi.xt us. 

41 Thus the joke of the heathen was taken away 
from Israel in the hundred and seventieth year. 

42 Then the people of Israel began to write in their 
instriMuonts and contracts. In the first year of Simon 
the high priest, "■ the governor and leader of the Jews. 

43 In those days Simon camped against * Gaza, 
and besieged it round about ; he made also an engine 
of war, and set it by the city, and battered a certain 
tower, and took it. 

44 And they that were in the engine leaped into 
the city ; whereupon there was a great uproar in 
the citj'. 

45 Insomuch as the people of the city rent their 
clothes, and climbed upon the walls with their wives 
and children, and cried with a loud voice, beseeching 
Simon f to grant them peace. 

46 And they said. Deal not with us according to 
our wickedness, but according to thy mercy. 

47 So Simon was appeased tow ards them, and fought 
no more against them, but put them out of the city, 
and cleansed the houses wherein the idols were, and so 
entered into it with songs and with thanksgiving. 

48 Yea, he put all uncleanness out of it, and placed 
such men there as would keep the law. and made it 
stronger than it was before, and built therein a dwell- 
ing-place for himself 

49 They also of the tower in Jerusalem were kept 
so strait, that they could neither come forth, nor go 

into the country, ' nor buy, nor sell : wherefore they * "-''■ '2, 36. 
were in great distress for want of victuals, and a great 
number of them perished through famine. vm/ce%ace

and Avhen he had put them out from thence, he cleans-

51 And entered into it the three and twentieth day 
of the second month, in the hundred seventy and first 
3'ear, "with thanksgiving, and branches of palm-trees, 
and with harps, and cymbals, and with viols, and 
hymns, and songs : because there was destroyed a

52 He " ordained also that that day should be kept 
every year with gladness. Moreover, the hill of the

was, and there he dwelt himself with his company.

jS% king Demetrius gathered his forces together,

2 But when Arsaces, the king of Persia and Media, 
heard that Demetrius was entered within his borders, 
he sent one of his princes to take him alive : 

3 Who went and smote the host of Demetrius, and 
took him, and brought him to Arsaces, by whom he 

Uch.is, 12. was put ^ in ward. 

4 As for the land of Judea, that was quiet all the 
days of Simon ; for he sought the good of his nation 
in such wise, as that evermore his authority and ho- 
nour pleased them well. 

5 And as he was honourable in all his acts, so in 
this, that he took "^ Joppe for an have-n, and made an 
entrance to the isles of the sea, 

6 And enlarged the bounds of his nation, and re- 
covered the countiy, 

7 And gathered together a great number of cap- 
tives, and had the dominion of'' Gazara, and Bethsura, 
and the tower, out of the which he took all uncleanness, 
neither was there any that resisted him. 

8 Then did they till their ground in peace, and 
the earth gave her increase, and the trees of the field 
their fruit. 

9 The * ancient men sat all in the streets, commun- 
ing together of || good things, and the young men put 
on glorious and warlike apparel. 

10 He provided victuals for the cities, and set in 
them all manner of munition, so that his lionourable 
name was renowned unto the end of tlie world. 

11 He made peace in the land, and Israel "^ rejoiced 
with great joy : 

12 For s every man sat under his vine and his fig- 
tree, and there was none to fray them : 

13 Neither was there any left in the land to fight 
against them : yea, the kings themselves were over- 
thrown in those days. 

14 Moreover, lie strengthened all those of his peo- 
ple that were brought low : tlie law he searched out; 
and every contemner of the law and wicked person he 
took away.

Sparta, that Jonathan was dead, they were very sorry. 

17 But as soon as they heard that his brother 
Simon was made high priest in his stead, and ruled 
the country, and the cities therein : 

18 They wrote mito him in tables of brass, to re- 
new the ' friendship and league which they had made 
with Judas and Jonathan his brethren : 

19 Which writings were read before the congrega- 
tion at Jerusalem. 

20 And this is the copy of the letters that the La- 
cedemonians sent; The rulers of the Lacedemonians, 
with the city, unto '' Simon the high priest, and the 
elders, and priests, and residue of the people of the 
Jews, our brethren, send greeting : 

21 The ambassadors that were sent unto our peo- 
ple certified us of your glory and honour : wherefore 
we were glad of their coming, 

22 And did register the things that they spake in 
the council of the people in this manner, Numenius 
son of Aiitiochus, and Antipater son of Jason, the 
Jews' ambassadors, came unto us to renew the friend- 
ship they had with us. 

23 And it pleased the people to entertain the men 
honourably, and to put the copy of their ambassage 
in public records, to the end tlie people of the Lace- 
demonians might have a memorial thereof: further- 
more, we have written a copy thereof unto Simon the 
high priest. 

24 After this, Simon sent ' Numenius to Rome with 
a great shield of gold of a thousand pound weight, 
to confirm the league with them. 

25 Whereof when the people heard, they said, 
What thanks shall we give to Simon and his sons .'' 

26 For ™ he and his brethren and the house of his 
father have established Israel, and chased away in 
fight their enemies from them, and confirmed their 
liberty. 

27 So then they wrote iV"in tables of brass, which 
they set upon pillars in mount Sion : and this is the 
copy of the writing ; The eighteenth day of the month 
Elul, in the hundred threescore and twelfth year, "be- 
ing the third year of Simon the high priest, 

28 At II Saramel in the great congregation of the 
priests, amd people, and rulers of the nation, and el- 
ders of the country, were these things notified unto us. 

29 Forasmuch as oftentimes there have been wars 
in tlie country, wherein for the maintenance of their 
sanctuary, and the law, Simon the son of JVIattathias, 
of the posterity of Jarib, togeUier with his brethren, 
put themselves in jeopardy, and, resisting the enemies 
of their nation, did their nation great honour : 

30 (For after that Jonathan, having gathered his 
nation together, and been their high priest, was added 
to his people, 

31 Their enemies purposed to p invade their coun- 
try, that they might destroy it, and lay hands on the 
sanctuary : 

32 At which time Simon rose up, and fought for 
his nation, and spent much of his own substance, and 
armed || the valiant men of his nation, and gave them 
wages, 

33 And fortified the cities of Judea, together with 
Bethsura, that lieth upon the borders of Judea, where 
tlie II armour of the enemies had been before; but he 
set a garrison of Jews there :

him with great honour. 

40 For he had heard say, that the Romans had 
called the Jews their frieuds and confederates and 
brethren ; and that they had ' entertained the ambas- 
sadors of Simon honourably; 

41 Also that the Jews and priests were well pleased 
u cii. 13,3, that Simon should be " their governor and high priest 

for ever, until there should arise a faithful projjhet ; 

42 ^Moreover, that he should be their captain, and 
should take charge of the sanctuary, to set them over 
their works, and over the country, and over the 
armour, and over the fortresses, that, I say, he should 
take charge of the sanctuary ; 

43 Besides this, that he should be obeyed of every 
man, and that all the writings in the country should 
be made in his name, and that he should be clothed 
^ in purple, and wear gold : 

44 Also that it should be lawful for none of the 
people or priests to break any of these things, or to 
gainsay his words, or to gather an asse.'nbly in the 
country without him, or to be clothed in purple, or 

ych. 11,58 wear a ^ buckle of gold : 

45 And whosoever should do otherwise, or break 
any of these things, he should be punished. 

46 Thus it liked all tlie people to deal with Simon, 
and do as hath been said. 

47 Then Simon accepted hereof, and was well 
pleased to be high priest, and captain and governor 
of the Jews and priests, and to defend tiiem all. 

48 So they commanded that this writing should be 
put in '^ tables of brass, and that the}- '^ should be set 
up within the compass of the sanctuary in a conspicu-

he fled unto Dora, which licth by the sea-side: 

12 For he saw that troubles came upon him all at 
once, and ' that his forces had forsaken him. 

13 Then camped Antiochus against Dora, having 
with him an hundred and twenty thousand men of 
war, and eight thousand horsemen. 

14 And tthen he had compassed the city round 
about, and joined & ships close to the town on the sea- g verse 3. 
side, he vexed the city by land and by sea, neither 
suffered he any to go out or in. 

15 In tlie mean season came '' Numenius and his hch. 14,24 
company from Rome, having letters to the kings and . 
countries ; wherein were written these things : 

16 Lucius, consul of the Romans, unto king Ptole- 
mee, greeting : 

17 ' The Jews' ambassadors, our friends and con- ich. 14,22. 
federates, came unto us to renew the old friendship 

and league, being sent from Simon the high priest, 
and from the people of the Jews : 

18 And they brought ^ a shield of gold of a thou- •'ch. 14,24. 
sand pound. 

19 We thought it good therefore to write unto the 
kings and countries, that they should do them no 

J harm, nor fight against them, their cities, or countries.

49 Also that the copies thereof should be laid up ( nor yet aid their enemies against them

24 And ™ the copy hereof they wrote to Shnon the

25 So Antiochus the king camped against Dora the 
second day, f assaulting it continually, and making 
engines, by which means he sliut up Tryphon, that he 
could neither go out nor in. 

26 At that time Simon sent him two thousand cho- 
sen men to aid him ; silver also, and gold, and much 
armour, 

27 Nevertheless he would not receive them, " but 
brake all the covenants which he had made with him 
afore, and became strange unto him. 

2S Furthermore he sent unto him Athenobius, one 
of his friends, to commune with him, and say. Ye 
° withhold Joppe and Gazara, with the tower that is 
in Jerusalem, which are cities of my realm. 

29 The borders thereof ye have wasted, and done 
great hurt in the land, and got the dominion of many 
places within my kingdom. 

30 Now therefore deliver the cities which ye have 
taken, and the tributes of the palaces whereof ye have

and the cupboard of gold and silver plate, and his 
great attendance, he was astonished, and told him the 
king's message. 

33 Then answered Simon, and said unto him, ■" We 
have neither taken other men's land, nor holden that 
which appertaineth to others, but the inheritance of 
our fathers, which our enemies had wrongfully in 
possession a certain time. 

34 Wherefore we, having opportunity, hold the 
inheritance of our fathers. 

35 And whereas thou demandest Joppe and Gaza- 
ra, albeit they did great harm unto the people in our 
country, yet will we give an hundred talents for them. 
Hereunto Athenobius answered him not a word ; ) 

36 But returned in a rage to the king, and made { 
report unto him of ^ these speeches, and of the glory i 
of Simon, and of all that he had seen : whereupon the \ 
king was exceeding wroth. { 

37 In the mean time fled Tryphon by ship unto ( 
Orthosias. > 

38 Then the king made Cendebeus captain of the sea- ) 
coast, and gave him an host of footmen and horsemen, j 

39 And ' commanded him to remove his host to- }

wards Judea : also he commanded him to build up 

Cedron, and to fortify the gates, and to war against , 

the people ; but as for the king himself, he pursued / men there 

Tryphon. ^ 16 So when Simon and 

40 So Cendebeus came to Jamnia, " and began to i 
provoke the people, and to invade Judea, and to take ^ 
the people prisoners, and slay them. 

41 And when he had built up Cedron, he set horse- 
men there, and an host of footmen, to the end that is- 
suing out tiiey might make outroads upon the ways of 
Judea, as the king had commanded him. 



CHAPTER XVI. 

3 Judas and John prevail against llie forces sent by Antioclius. 11 
The captain of Jericlio inviteth Simon and two of liis sons into 
his castle, and there treacherously inurdereth them. 19 John is 
sought for, 22 and ercapctli, and killetli those that sought for him. 

THEN came up John from Gazara, and told Si- 
mon his father ^ what Cendebeus had done. 

2 Wherefore Simon called l.'is two eldest sons, Ju- 
das and John, and said unto them, ^ I, and my bre- 
thren, and my father's house, have ever from our 
youth unto tliis day fought against the enemies of Is- 
rael ; and things have prospered so well in our hands, 
that we have delivered Israel oftentimes. 

3 But now I am old, and ye, by God's mercj', are 
of a sufficient age : be ye instead of me and my bro- 
ther, and go and fight for our nation, and the help 
from heaven be with you. 

4 So he chose out of the country twenty thousand 
men of war with horsemen, who went out against 
Cendebeus, and rested that night at "= Modin. 

5 And when as they rose in the morning, and went 
into the plain, behold, a mighty great host both of 
footmen and horsemen came against them : howbeit 
there was a water-brook betwixt them. 

6 So he and his people pitched over against them : 
and when he saw that the people were afraid to go over 
the water-brook, he went first over himself, and then 
the men seeing him, passed through after him. 

7 That done, he divided his men, and set the horse- 
men in the midst of the footmen : for the enemies' 
horsemen were very many. 

8 Then sounded they with "^ the holy trumpets : 
whereupon Cendebeus and his host were put to flight, 
so tiiat many of them were slain, and the remnant gat 
them to the strong hold. 

. 9 At that time was Judas, John's brother, wound- 
ed ; but John still followed after them, until he came 
to "^ Cedron, which Cendebeus had built. 

10 II So they fled even unto the towers in the fields 
of Azotus; wherefore he burned it with fire: so that 
there were slain of them about two thousand men. Af- 
terward he returned into the land of Judea in peace. 

11 Moreover, in the plain of Jericho was Ptolemeus •A^outs ; and 
the son of Abubus made captain, and he had abun- slain, &c. 
dance of silver and gold : 

12 For he was the high priest's son-in-law. 

13 Wherefore his heart being lifted up, he thought to 
get the country to himself, and thereupon consulted 
^ deceitfully against Simon and his sons to destroy them. 

14 Now Simon was visiting the cities that were in 
the country, and taking care for the good ordering ot 
them ; at which time he came down himself to Jeri- 
cho with his sons, Mattathias and Judas, in the hun- 
dred threescore and seventeenth year, in the eleventh 
month, called Sabat : 

15 Where the son of Abubus receiving them de- 
ceitfully into a little liold called Docus, which he had 
built, made them a great banquet : howbeit he had hid

and he would deliver him the country and cities. 

19 He sent others also to ^ Gazara to kill John : and 
unto the f tribunes he sent letters to come unto him, 
that he might give them silver, and gold, and rewards. 

20 And others he sent to take Jerusalem, and the 
mountain of the temple. 

21 Now 'one had run afore to Gazara, and told 
John that his father and brethren were slain, and, 
quoth he, Ptolemee hath sent to slay thee also. 



22 Hereof when he heard, he was sore astonished : 
so he laid hands on them that were come to destroy 
him, and slew them; for he knew that they sought to 
make him away. 

23 As concerning the rest of the acts of John, and 
his wars, and worthy deeds wliich he did, and the 
building of the walls which he made, and his doings,

his priesthood, from the time he was made high priest 
'' after his father.

1 A letter of the Jews from Jerusalem to them of Egypt, to thank 
God for the diath of Antiochus. 19 Of the fire that was hidden in 
tlie pit. 24 The prayer of rseemias. 

THE brethren, the Jews that be at Jerusalem and 
in the land of Judea, wish unto " the brethren, 
the Jews tliat are throughout Egypt, health and peace : 

2 God be gracious unto you, and remember his 
'' covenant that he made with Abraham, Isaac, and 
Jacol), his faithful servants ; 

3 And give you all an heart to serve him, and to 
do his will, with a good courage and a willing mind ; 

4 And open your hearts in his law and command- 
ments, and send you' peace, 

5 And hear your prayers, and be at one with '}ou, 
and never forsake you in time of trouble. 

6 And now we be here prating for you. 

7 Wliat time as Demetrius reigned, in the hundred 
threescore and ninth year, we the Jews wrote unto you 
in the extremity "^ of trouble that came upon us in 
those years, * from the time that Jason and his com- 
pany revolted from the holy land and kingdom, 

8 And burned the porch, and shed innocent blood : 
then v,e pra} ed unto the Lord, and were iieard ; we 
oflered also sacrifices and fine flour, and lighted th3 
lamps, and set forth the loaves. 

9 And now see that ye keep the ^ feast of taberna- 
cles in the month Casleu. 

10 In the hundred fourscore and eighth year, the 
people that were at Jerusa.em and in Judea, and the 
council, and Judas, sent greeting and health unto 
Aristobulus, king Ptolemeus' master, who was of the 
stock of the anointed priests, and to the Jews that 
were in Egypt : 

1 1 Insomuch as God hath delivered us from ^ great 
perils, we thank him highly, as having been in battle 
against a king. 

12 For he cast them out that fought within the 
holy city. 

13 For when tlie leader was come into Persia, and 
the army with him that seemed invincible, they were 
slain in the temple of Nanea by the deceit of Nanea's 
priests. 

14 For Antiochus, as though he would marry her, 
came into the place, and his friends that were with 
him, to receive money in name of a dowry. 

15 Which when the priests of Nanea had set forth, 
*" and he was entered with a small company into the 
compass of the temple, they shut the temple as soon 
as Antiochus was come in : 

16 And opening a privy door of the roof, they J 



threw stones like thunderbolts, and struck down the 
captain, hewed them in pieces, smote off their heads, 
and cast them to those that were without. 

17 Blessed be our God in all things, ' who hath 
delivered up the ungodl3\ 

18 Therefore whereas we are now purposed to keep 
the purification of the temple upon the five and twenti- 
eth day o( the month ^ Casleu, we thought it necessa- 
ry to certify you thereof, that ye also might keep it, as 
the feast of the tabernacles, and of the fire, tvhich was 
given us when Ncemias offered sacrifice, after that he 
had builded the temple and the altar. 

19 For when our fathers were led into Persia, the 
priests that were then devout took the fire of the altar 
privily, and hid it in a hollow place of a pit without 
water, where they kept it sure, so that the place was 
unknown to all men. 

20 Now after many years, when it pleased God, 
Neemias, ' being sent from the king of Persia, did 
send of the posterity of those priests, that had hid it, 
to the fire : but when they told us they found no fire, 
but thick water; 

21 Tiien commanded he them to draw it up, and to. 
bring it ; and when the sacrifices were laid on, Nee-^ 
mias commanded the priests to "" sprinkle the wood 
and the things laid thereupon with the water : 

22 When this was done, and the time came that the 
sun shone, which afore was hid in the cloud, there was 
a " great fire kindled, so that every man marvelled. 

23 And the priests made a prayer whilst the sacri- 
fice was consuming, / say, both the priests, and all the 
rest, Jonathan beginning, and the rest answering 
thereunto, as Neemias did. 

24 And the prayer was after this manner ; O Lord, 
Lord God, ° Creator of all things, who art fearful and 
strong, and righteous, and merciful, and the only and 
gracious King, 

25 The only giver of all things, the only just, al- 
mighty, and everlasting, thou that deliverest Israel 
from all trouble, and didjt choose the fathers, and 
sanctify them : 

26 Receive the sacrifice for thy whole people Israel,, 
and preserve thine own portion, and sanctity it. 

27 Gather those together that are scattered from 
us, deliver them that serve among the heathen, look 
upon them that are despised and abhorred,. '' and let 
the heathen know that thou art our God. 

28 Punish them that oppress us, and with pride do 
us wrong. 

29 Plant thy people again in thy holy place,, as. 
Moses hafh spoken.

30 And the priests sung psalms of thanksgiving. 

31 Now when the sacrifice was consumed, Neemias 
commanded tlie water that was left to be poured on 
the great stones. 

32 When this was done, there was kindled a flame : 
but it was consumed by the light that shined from 
the altar 

33 So when this matter was known, it was told the 
king of Persia, that in the place, where the '^ priests 
that were led away had hid the fire, there appeared 
water, and that || Neemias had purified the sacrifices 
therewith. 

34 Then the king, enclosing the place, made it 
■" holy, after he had tried the matter. 

35 And the king took many gifts, and bestowed 
thereof on those whom he wtyuld gratify. 

36 And Neemias called this thing Naphthar, which 
is as much as to say, A cleansing : but many men call 
it Nephi. 

CHAPTER II. 

1 AVhat Jeremy the prophet did : 5 How he hid the tabernacle, the 
ark, and the altar. 13 What Neemias and Judas wrote. 20 What 
Jason wrote in five hooks. 25 And how those were abridged by 
the author of this book. 

aJer. 1, 1. TT is also found in the records, that * Jeremy the 
JL prophet commanded them that were carrie 1 away 
to take of the fire, as it hath been signified : 

2 And how that the prophet, having given them 
the law, charged them not to forget the command- 
ments of the Lord, and that they should not err in 
\heir minds, when they see images of silver and gold, 
with their ornaments. 

b Acts 11, 3 And with other such speeches ^ exhorted he them, 
that the law should not depart from their hearts. 

4 It was also contained in the same writing, that 
the prophet, being warned of God, commanded the 
tabernacle and the ark to go with him, as he went 
forth into the '^ mountain, where Moses climbed up, 
and saw the heritage of God. 

5 And when Jeremy came thither, he found an hol- 
low cave, wherein he laid the tabernacle, and the ar.k, 
and the altar of incense, and so stopped the door. 

6 And some of those that followed him came to 
mark the way, but they could not find it. 

7 Which when Jeremy perceived, he blamed them, 
saying. As for that place, it shall be unknown until 
the time that God gather his people again together, 
and receive them unto mercy. 

8 Then shall the Lord shew them these things, and 
d^lKmgsS, ii(;i^g glory of the Lord shall appear, and the cloud 

also, as it was shewed unto Moses, and as when So- 
lomon desired that the place might be honourably 
sanctified. 

9 It was also declared, that he being wise offered 
the sacrifice of dedication, and of the finishing of the 
temple. 

eLev.9,24. iQ And as when Moses prayed unto the Lord, ^ the 
fire came down from heaven, and consumed the sa- 

f2Chr.7,l. crifices : even so prayed Solomon also, and '^the fire 
came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt- 
offerings. 

11 And Moses said. Because the sin-offering was 
not to be eater, it was consumed. 

12 So Solomon kept those eight days. 

13 The same things also were reported in the 
writings and commentaries of Neemias j and how he.

) the whole country, and chased barbarous multitudes, 

i 22 And recovered again the temple renowned all 

'. the world over, and freed the city, and upheld the

^ unto them with all favour : 

( 23 All these things, I say, being declared by Jason 

J of Cyrene in five books, we will assay to abridge in lActs2, lo 

f one volume. 

' 24 For considering the infinite number, and the 

} difHcalty which they find that desire to look into the 

narra:ions of the story, for the variety of the matter, 
25 We have been careful, that they that will read 

might have delight, and that they that are desirous to 

commit to memory might have ease, and that "' all into 
I whose hands it comes migl)t have profit. 
^ 26 Therefore to us, that have taken upon us this 

painful labour of abridging, it was not easy, but a 

matter of sweat and watching ; 

27 Even as it is no ease unto him that prepareth a 
'i banquet, and seeketh the benefit of others : yet || for 
\ the pleasuring of many we will undertake gladly this many. 
} great pains ; 
f 28 Leaving to the author the exact handling of 
< every particular, and labouring to follow the rules of 
\ an abridi^ment. 

} 29 For as the" master-builder of a new house must 10 " ' 
( care for the whole building ; but he that undertaketh 
} to set it out, and paint it, must seek out fit things for 
} the adorning thereof: even so I think it is with us. 
( 30 To stand upon every point, and go over things 
) at large, and to be curious in particulars, belongeth 
> to the first author of the story : 

\ 31 But to use brevity, and avoid much labouring 
} of the work, is to be granted to him that will make 
^ an abridgment. 

J 32 Here then will we begin ° the story : only add- 
f ing thus much to that which hath been said, that it is 
^ a foolish thing to make a long prologue, and to be 
' short in the story itself.

CHAPTER III. 

1 Of Ihe honoi:r done to the temple by the kings of the Gentiles. 
4 Simon utlerelh what treasures are in the temple. 7 Heliodorus 
is sent to take them away: 24 He is stricken of God, and healed 
at the prayer of Onias. 

~OAV when * the holy city was inhabited with all 
peace, and the laws were kept very well, be- 
cause of the godliness of Onias the high priest, and 
his hatred of wickedness, 

2 It came to pass that even ^ the kings themselves 
did honour the place, and magnify the temple with 
their best gifts ; 

3 Insomuch that Seleucus "^ king of Asia, of his own 
revenues, bare all the costs belonging to the service of 
the sacrifices. 

4 But one Simon, of the tribe of Benjamin, who 
was made governor of the temple, fell out with tlie 
hiph priest about disorder in the city. 

^ And when he could not overcome Onias, he gat 
liun to Apollonius the son of Thraseas, who then was 
governor of Celosyria and Phenice, 

6 And told him that '' the treasury in Jerusalem was 
full of infinite sums of money, so that the multitude of 
their riciies, which did not pertain to the account of 
the sacrifices, was innumerable, and that it was possi- 
ble to bring all into the king's hand. 

7 Now when Apollonius came to the king, and had 
shewed him of the n-.oney whereof he was told, the king 
chose out Heliodorus his treasurer, and sent him with 
a connnandu)ent to luring him the aforesaid money. 

8 So forthwith Heliodorus took his journey, under 
a colour of visiting the cities of Celosyria and Phe- 
nice, but indeed to fulfil the king's purpose. 

9 And when he was come to Jerusalem, and had 
been courteously received *^^ of the high priest of the 
city, he told him what intelligence was given of the 
money, and declared wherefore he came, and asked if 
these things 'vere so indeed. 

10 Then the high priest told him that there was 
such money laid up for the relief of widows and fa- 
therless children : 

1 1 And that some of it belonged to Hircan"S son of 
Tobias, a man of great dignity, and not as that "^ wick- 
ed Simon had misinformed : the sum whereof in all was 
four hundred talents of silver, and two hundred of gold: 

12 And that it was altogether impossible that such 
wrongs should be done unto them, that had committed 
it to the " holiness of the place, and to the majesty and 
inviolable sanctity of the temple, honoured over all tlie 
world. 

13 But Heliodorus, ** because of the king's com- 
mandment given him, said. That in any wise it must 
be brought into the king's treasury. 

14 So at die day which he appointed he entered in 
to order this matter : wherefore there was no small 
agony throughout the whole city. 

15 But the priests, prostrasting themselves ' before 
the altar in the priests' vestments, called unto heaven 
upon him that made a law concerning things given to 
be kept, that they should safely be preserved for such 
as had committed them to be kept. 

16 Then whoso had looked the high priest in the 
face, it would have wounded his heart : for his coun- 
tenance and die changing of his colour declared the 
inward agony of his mind. 

17 For the man was so compassed with fear and 
horror of the body, that it was manifest to them that

looked upon him, ^ what sorrow he had now in his heart. 
IS Others ran flocking out of their houses j] to the 
general supplication, because the place was like to 
come into contempt. 

19 And the women, ' girt with sackcloth under their 
breasts, abounded in the streets ; and the virgins that 
were kept in, ran, some to the gates, and some to the 
walls, and others looked out of the windows. 

20 And all " holding dieir hands towards heaven, ml Kings 

ft S'' 

made supplication. ' "' 

21 Then it would have pitied a man to see the fall- 
ing down of the multitude of all sorts, and the f fear t Gr. m- 
ofthe high priest, being in such an agony. pecuimi. 

i 22 " They then called upon die Almighty Lord to nPs.liG,-! 
' keep the things committed of trust safe and sure for 
those that had committed them. 

23 Nevertheless, Heliodorus e.xecuted that which 
was decreed. 

24 Now as he was there present himself with his 
guard about the treasury, the || Lord of spirits, and the II Or, Lard 
Prince of all power, caused a great apparition, so that "pj^'^^g 
all that presumed to come in with him were astonished 
at the power of God, and fainted, and were sore afraid. 

, 25 For there appeared unto them an horse with a 
} terrible rider upon him, and adorned with a very fair 
covering, and he ran fiercely, and smote at Heliodo- 
rus with his fore-feet, and it seemed that he that sat 
upon the horse had complete harness of gold. 

2G 3Joreover, two other young men appeared be- 
( fore him, notable in strength, excellent in beauty, and 
i comely in apparel, who stood by him on either side. 
f and scourged him continually, and gave him many 

sore stripes. 
(• 27 And Heliodorus " fell suddenly unto die ground, « Acts 9, 4. 
and was compassed with great darkness : but they 
that were with him took him up, and put him into a 
litter. 

28 Thus him, that lately came with a great train 
and with all his guard into the said treasury, they 
carried out, being unable to help himself with his 
weapons: '' and manifestly they acknowledged the pEx. 8, 19 
power of God : 

29 For he by the hand of God was cast down, and 
lay speechless without all hope of life. 

30 But they praised the Lord, that had miracu- 
lously honoured his own place : for die temple, which 

a little afore was '' full of fear and trouble, when the nisai. 47, 
Almighty Lord appeared, was filled with joy and ' ' 
gladness. 

31 Then straightvvays certain of Heliodorus' friends 
■■prated Onias, that he would call upon the Most rActsSjS-t. 
High, to grant him his life, who lay ready to give up 

the ghost. 

32 So the high priest, suspecting lest the king 
should misconceive that some treachery had been done 
to Heliodorus by the Jews, offered a sacrifice for the 
health of the man. 

33 Now as the high priest was making an atone- 
ment, * the same young men in the same clothing ap- s verses 25 
peared and stood beside Heliodorus, saying, Give 

Onias the high priest great thanks. Insomuch as for 
his sake the Lord hath granted thee life : 

34 And seeing that thou hast been scourged from 
heaven, declare unto all men the nnghty power of 

God. And ' when they had spoken these words, they t judg 13, 
appeared no more

35 So Hellodorits, after he had offered sacrifice 
unto the Lord, and made great vows nnto him that 
had saved iiis life, and sainted Onius, " returned with 
his host to the king. 

36 Then testified he to all men the-svorks of the 
great God, which he had seen with his eyes. 

37 And when the king asked Heliodorus, who 
might be a fit man to be sent yet once again to Jeru- 
rusalem, he said, 

38 If thou hast any enemy or traitor, send him 
thither, and thou shalt receive him " well scourged, if 
he escape with his life : for in that place, no doubt, 
there is an especial power of God. 

39 For he that dvvellelh in heavfcn ^ hath his eye 
on that place, and defendeth it ; and he beateth and 
destroyeth them that come to hurt it. 

40 And the things concerning Heliodorus, and the 
keeping of the treasury, fell out on this sort. 

CHAPTER IV. 

1 Simon slatidereth Oiiias. 7 Jason, Ijy coiiTipting the king, obtain- 
eth the office of the high pi-iest. 24 Meneluiis getteth the same 
from Jason by the like" corriiplion. 34 Andronicus traitorously 
murdereth Onias. 36 The king being informed thereof, causeth 
Andronicus to be put to dealh. 39 The wickedness of Lysimachus, 
by the instigation of Menelaus. 

" rr^HIS Simon now, of whom we spake afore, 
A having been a bewrayer of the money, and of 
his country, slandered Onias, as if he had terrified 
Heliodorus, and been the worker of these evils. 

2 Thus was he bold to call him a ^ traitor, that had 
deserved well of the city, and tendered his own na- 
tion, and was so zealous of the laws. 

3 But when their hatred went so far, that by one 
of Simon's faction murders were committed, 

4 Onias seeing the danger of this contention, and 
that Apollonius, "= as being the governor of Celosyria 
and Phenice, did rage, and increase Simon's malice, 

5 He went to the king, not to be an accuser of his 
countrymen, '' but seeking the good of all, both public 
and private : 

6 For he saw that it was impossible that the state 
should continue quiet, and Simon leave his folly, un- 
less the king did look thereunto. 

7 But after the death of Seleucus, when * Antiochus, 
called Epiphanes, took the kingdom, Jason the bro- 
ther of Onias laboured underhand to be high priest. 

8 Promising unto the king by intercession three 
hundred and threescore talents of silver, and of ano- 
ther revenue eighty talents : 

9 Beside this, he promised to assign an hundred 
and fifty more, if he might have license to set him up 
a ^ place for exercise, and for the training up of youth 
in the fashions of the heathen, and to write them of 
Jerusalem hy the name o/"Antiochians. 

10 Which when the king had granted, and he had 
gotten into his hand the rule, he forthwith brouglit his 
own nation to the Greekish fashion. 

1 1 And the royal privileges granted of special fa- 
vour to the Jews by the means of ^ John the father of 
Eupolemus, who went ambassador to Rome for amity 
and aid, he took away ; and putting down the govern- 
ments which were according to the law, he brought up 
new customs against the law : 

12 For he built gladly '' a place of exercise under 
the tower itself, and brought the chief young men un- 
der his subjection, and made them wear a hat. 

13 Now such was the height of Greek fashions, and 



increase of heathenish manners, through the exceed- 
ing profaneness of Jason, that ungodly wretch, and 
not high priest ; 

14 That the priests had no courage to serve any 
more at the altar, but despising the teniple, and neg- 
lecting the sacrifices, hastened to be partakers of tlie 
unlawful allowance in the place of exercise, after the 
game of || Discus called them forth ; 

15 Not setting by the honours of their fathers, but 
liking tlie glory of the ' Grecians best of all. 

IG By reason whereof sore calamity came upon 
them : fur they had them to be their enemies and 
avengers, whose custom they followed so earnestly, 
and unto whom they desired to be like in all things. 

17 For it is not a light thing to do wickedly ag-ainst 
the laws of God : but the time following shall declare 
these things. 

18 Now when the '' game that was used every fifth 
year was kept at Tyrus, the king being present, 

19 This ungracious Jason sentf special messengers 
from Jerusalem, who were Anliochians, to carry' three 
hundred drachms of silver to the sacrifice of Hercules, 
which even ti)e bearers thereof thought fit not to be- 
stow upon the sacrifice, because it was not conve- 
nient, but to be reserved for other charges. 

20 This money then, in regard of the sender, was 
appointed to Hercules' sacrifice; but because of the 
bearers tiiereof, it was employed to the making of 
galleys. 

21 Now when "' Apollonius the son of Menestheus 
was sent into Egypt for the || coronation of king Pto- 
lemeus Fhilometor, Antiochus, understanding him not 
to be well afi'ected to his affairs, provided for his own 
safety : whereupon he came to " Joppe, and from 
thence to Jerusalem : 

22 Where he was honourably received of Jason, 
a'ld of the city, and was brought in with torch-light, 
and with great shoutings : and so afterward went with 
his host unto Phenice. 

23 Three 3'ears afterward Jason sent Menelaus, the 
aforesaid Simon's brother, to bear the money unto the 
king, and to put him in mind of certain necessary 
matters. 

24 But he being brought to the presence of the king, 
when he had magnified him for the glorious appear- 
ance of his power, got the priesthood to himself, ° offer- 
ing more than Jason by three hundred talents of silver. 

25 So he came with the king's mandate, bringing 
P nothing worthy the high priesthood, but having the 
fury of a cruel tyrant, and the rage of a savage beast. 

26 Tlien Jason, who had undermined his own bro- 
ther, being undermined by another, was compelled to 
flee into tiie country of the Ammonites. 

27 So Menelaus got the principality : '' but as for 
the money that he had promised unto the king, he 
took no good order for it, albeit Sostratus the ruler of 
the castle required it : 

28 For unto him appertained the gathering of the 
customs. Wherefore they were both called before the 
l''hig. 

29 Now Menelaus left his brother Lysimachus in 
his stead in the priesthood ; and Sostratus lift Crates, 
who was governor of the "■ Cyprians. 

30 While those things were in doing, they of ^Tar- 
( sus and MaJIos made insurrection, because they were 

i given to ilie king's concubine, called Antiochis..

31 Then came the king in all haste to appease 
matters, leaving Andronicus, a man in authority, for 
his deputy. 

32 Now Menelaus, supposing that he had gotten a 
convenient time, stole certain vessels of gold out of the 
temple, and gave some of tliem to Andronicus, and 
some he sold into Tyrus and the cities round about, 

33 Wliich when Onias knew of a surety, ' he re- 
proved him, and withdrew himself into a sanctuary at 
Daphne, tiiat lieth by Antiochia. 

34 Wherefore Menelaus, taking Andronicns apart, 
prayed him to get Onias into his hands ; who being 

u 1 Mac. 7, persuaded thereunto, and coming to Onias " in deceit, 
gave him his right hand with outiis ; and though lie 
were suspected hy him, yei persuaded he liim to come 
forth of the sanctuary : whom forthwith he shut up 
without regard of justice. 

35 For the which cause not only the Jews, but 
many alsoof otiier nations, took great indignation, and 
were nuich grieved for the unjust murder of the man. 

36 And when the king was come again from the 
places about " Cilicia, the Jews that were in the city, 
and certain of the Greeks that abhorred the fact also, 
complained because Onias was slain witiiout cause. 

37 Therefore Antiochus was heartily sorry, and 
moved to pity, and wept, because of the sober and 
modest lieliaviour of him that was dead. 

38 And being kindled with anger, forthwith he 
took away Andronicus iiis '>' purple, and rent ofl' his 
clothes, and leading him tin-ougli the wliole city unto 
that very place, wiiere lie iiad comuiiited impiety 
against Onias, there slew he the cursed murderer. 
Tiius tiie Ijord rewarded him liis punishment, as he 
had deserved. 

39 Now when many sacrileges had been committed 
2 verse 29. j,^ ti,e f-\[y \^y ? Lysimachus wiili ilie consent of ' I\Ien- 

elaus, and the bruit thereof was spread abroad, the 
multitude gatiiered tiiemselves together against Lysi- 
machus, many vessels of gold being already carried 
away. 

40 Whereupon the common people rising, and be- 
ing filled with rage, Lysimaciius armed about three 
thousand men, and began first to offer violence; one 
11 Auraims being the leader, a man far gone in years, 
and no less in folh'. 

41 They tlien seeing the attempt of Lysimachus, 
some of them caught stones, some clubs, others taking 
handfuls of dust, that was ne.\t at hand, cast them all 
together upon Lysimachus, and those that set upon 
them. 

42 Thus many of them they wounded, and some 
they struck to the ground, and all of them they forced 
to flee : but as for the '' church-robber himself, him 
they killed beside the treasury. 

43 Of these matters therefore there was an accusa- 
tion laid against Menelaus. 

44 Now when the king came to "= Tyrus, three men 
that were sent from the senate pleaded tlie cause be- 
fore him : 

45 But Menelaus, being now convicted, promised 
d^l Mac. 3, d Ptolemee the son of Dorymenes, to give him much 

money, if he would pacify the king towards him. 

46 Whereupon Ptolemee taking the king aside in- 
to a certain gallery, as it were to take the air, brought 
him to be of another mind : 

47 Insomuch lliat he discharged Menelaus from the

accusations, who notwithstanding was cause of all the 
mischief: and ^ those poor men, who, if they had told 
their cause, yea, before the Scythians, should have 
been judged innocent, them he condemned to death. 

48 Thus they that followed the matter for the city, 
and for the people, and for the holy vessels, did soon 
suffer unjust punishment. 

49 Wiierefore even they of ^ Tyrus, moved with 
hatred of that wicked deed, caused them to be lio- 
nourably buried. 

50 And so, through the " covetousness of them that 
were of po« er, Menelaus remained still in authority, 
increasing in malice, and being a great traitor to the 
citizens. 

CHAPTER V. 

2 Of the signs and tokens seen in Jerusalem. 6 Of the end and 
wickedness of Jason. 11 The pursuit of Antiochus against the 
Jews. 15 The spoiling of the temple. 27 Maccabeus fleeth into 

the wilderness. 

ABOUT the same time Antiochus prepared his 
second voyage into Egypt : 

2 And then it happened, that through all the city, 
for the space almost of forty days, " there were seen 
horsemen running in the air, in cloth of gold, and 
armed with lances, like a band of soldiers, 

3 And troops of horsemen in array, encountering 
and running one against another, with shaking of 
shields, and multitude of || pikes, and drawing of 
swords, and casting of darts, and glittering of golden 
ornaments, and harness of all sorts. 

4 AVhcrelore every man pra3ed that that ^ appari- 
tion might turn to good. 

5 Now when there was gone forth a false rumour, 
as though Antiochus had been dead, "^ Jason took at 
the least a thousand men, and suddenly made an as- 
sault upon the city ; and they that were upon the 
walls being put back, and the city at length taken, 
Menelaus lied into the castle : 

But Jason slew his own citizens without mercy, 
not considering that to get the day of them of his 
own nation would be a most unhappy day for him ; 
but thinking they had been his enemies, and not his 
countrymen, whom he conquered. 

7 Howbeit, for all this he obtained not '' the prin- 
cipality, but at the last received shame for the reward 
of his treason, and fled "^ again into the countiy of 
the Ammonites. 

8 In the end therefore he had an unhappy return, 
being accused before Aretas the king of the Arabians, 
fleeing from city to city, pursued of all men, hated as 
a forsaker of the laws, and being had in abomination 
as an open || enemy of his country and countrymen, 
he was cast out into Egypt. 

9 Thus he that had driven many out of their coun- 
try, perisiied in a strange land, retiring to ' the Lace- 
demonians, and thinking there to find succour by rea- 
son of iiis kindred : 

10 And he that had cast out many unburied had 
none to mourn for him, nor any solemn funerals at all, 
nor sepulchre with his fathers. 

1 1 Now when this that was done came to the king's 
ear, he thought that Judea had revolted : whereupon 
^ removing out of Eg3pt in a furious mind, he took 
the city by force of arms, 

12 And commanded his men of war not to spare such 
as they met, and to slay such as went up upon the houses. 

13 ''Thus there was killing of 3'oune: and old.

virgins and infants. 

14 And tliere were destroyed within three whole 
days fourscore thousand, whereof forty thousand were 
slain in the conflict ; and no fewer sold than slain. 

15 Yet was he not content with this, but presumed 
to go into the most holy temple of all the world ; Me- 
nelaus, that traitor to the laws, and to his own coun- 
try, being his guide : 

16 And taking the holy vessels with polluted hands, 
and with profane hands pulling down the things that 
were dedicated by other kings to the augmentation and 
glory and honour of the place, he gave them away. 

17 And so haughty was Antiochus in mind, that he 
considered not that the Lord was angry for awhile for 
the sins of them that dwelt in the city, and therefore 
his eye was not upon the place. 

18 For had they not been formerly wrapped in 
many sins, this man, as soon as he iiad come, had 
forthwith been scourged, and put back from his pre- 
sumption, ^ as HelJodorus was, whom Seleucus the 
king cent to view the treasury. 

19 Nevertheless, God did not choose the people for 
the place's sake, but the place for the people's sake. 

20 And therefore the place itself, that was partaker 
with them of the adversity that happened to the na- 
tion, did afterward communicate in the benefits sent 
from the Lord : and as it was forsaken in the wrath 
of the Almighty, so again, the great Lord being re- 
conciled, it was set up with all glory. 

21 So when Antiochus had carried out of the tem- 
ple a thousand and eight hundred talents, he departed 

! Dan. 5, 20. in all liaste unto Antiochia, weening ' in his pride to 
make the land navigable, and the sea passable by foot: 
" such was the haughtiness of his mind. 

22 And he left governors to vex the nation : at Je- 
rusalem, Pliilip, for his country, a Phrygian, and for 
manners more barbarous than he that set him there ; 

23 And at Garizim, Andronicus ; and besides, Me- 
nelaus, who worse than all the rest bare an iieavy hand 
over the citizens, " having a malicious mind against 
his countrymen the Jews. 

24 He sent also that detestable ringleader ° Apol- 
lonius with an army of two and twenty thousand, com- 
manding him to slay all those that were in their best 
age, and to sell the women and the younger sort : 

25 Who coming to Jerusalem, and •' pretending 
peace, did forbear till the holy-day of the sabbath, 
when taking the Jews keeping holy-day, he command- 
ed his men to arm themselves. 

2(5 And so he slew all them that were gone to the 
celebrating of the sabbath, and 'i running through the 
city with weapons slew great multitudes. 

27 But Judas Maccabeus f with nine others, or 
thereabout, withdrew himself into the wilderness, ""and 
lived in the mountains after the manner of beasts, 
with his company, who fed on herbs continually, lest 
they should be partakers of the pollution.

2 And ^ to poUute also the temple in Jerusalem, Before 
and to call it the temple of Jupiter Olympius ; and 
that in Garizim, of Jupiter the Defender of strangers, 
jl as they did desire that dwelt in the place. 

3 The coming m of this mischief was sore and 
grievous to the people : 

4 For " " " 
by the Gentiles, who dallied with harlots, and had to 
do with women within the circuit of the holy places, and 
besides that brought in things that were not lawful. 

5 The altar also was filled with profane things, 
which the law forbiddeth. 

6 Neither was it lawful for a man to keep sabbath- 
days or ancient feasts, "= or to profess himself at all to c verse i 
be a Jew. 

7 And in the day of the king's birth, every month 
they were brought by bitter constraint to eat of the 
sacrifices ; and when the feast of Bacchus was kept, 
the Jews were compelled to go in procession to Bac- 
chus, carrying ivy. 

8 Moreover, there went out a decree to the neigh- 
bour cities of the | heathen, by the suggestion of Pto- t Gr. 
lemee, against the Jews, that they should observe "^ the ^^^Tg 
same fashions, and be partakers of their sacrifices : 

9 And whoso would not conform themselves to the 
manners of the Gentiles should be put to death. Then 
might a man have seen the present misery. 

10 For there were two women brought, ® who 
had circumcised their children ; whom when they 
had openly led round about the city, the babes hang- 
ing at their breasts, they cast them down headlong 
from the wall. 

11 And others, that had run together into ^ caves 
near by, to keep the sabbath-day secretly, being dis*- 
covered to Philip, were all burnt together, because 
they made a conscience to help themselves for the ho- 
nour of the most sacred day. 

12 Now I beseech those that read this book, that 
they be not discouraged for these calamities, but that 
they judge those punishments not to be for destruc- 
tion, but for Sa chastening of our nation. 

13 For it is a token of his great goo-dness, when 
wicked doers are '' not suffered any long time, but 
forthwith punished. 

14 For not as with other nations, whom the Lord 
patiently forbeareth to punish, till they be come to 
the fulness of their sins, so dealeth he with us, 

15 Lest that, being come to the height of sin, af- 
terwa<rd he should take vengeance of us. 

16 And therefore ' he never withdraweth his mer- 
cy from us : and though he punish with adversity, 
yet doth he never forsake his people. 

17 But let this that we have spoken be for a warn- 
ing unto us. And now will we come to the declaring 
of the matter in few words. 

18 Eleazar, one of the principal scribes, an aged 
man, and of a well-favoured countenance, was con- 
strained to open his mouth, and "^ to eat swine's flesh. 

19 But he, choosing rather to die gloriously, than 
to live stained with such an abomination, spit it forth, 
and came of his own accord to the torment, 

20 As it behoved them to come, that are resolute 
to stand out against such things as are not lawful for 
love of life to be tasted. 

21 But they that had the charge of that wicked 
feast, for the old acquaintance they Lad with the man.

suspecting it to be a reprottcliful speech, whilst the ^ 
youngest was yet alive, did not only exhort him by / 
words, but also assured him VAith oaths, that he '' would J 
make him both a rich and a happj' man, if he would ^

25 But when the young man would in no case ^

exhorted her that she would counsel the 3'oung man > 
to save his life. 

26 And when he had exhorted her with many words, 
she promised him that she would counsel her son. 

27 But she, bowing herself towards him, laughing 
"■ the cruel tyrant to scorn, spake in her country lan- 
guage on this manner ; O my son, have pity upon me 
that bare thee nine months in my womb, and gave 
thee suck three years, and nourished thee, and brought 
thee up unto this age, and endured the troubles of 
education. 

2S I beseech thee, my son, look upon the heaven 
and the earth, and all that is therein, ^ and consider 
that God made them of things that were not; and so 
was mankind made likewise. 

29 Fear not this tormentor, but, being worthy of ) 
thy brethren, take thy death, that I ma}' receive thee ' 
again in mercy with thy ])rethren. ^ 

30 While she was yet speaking these words, the t 
young man said, Whom wait ye for .'' I will not obey {

niandment of the law that was given unto our fathers t

31 And thou, that hast been the author of all mis- * 
chief against the Hebrews, shalt not escape the hands > 
of God. \ 

32 For we suffer because of our sins. \ 

33 And though the living Lord be angry with us J 
a little while for our chastening and correction, " yet i 
shall he be at one again with his servants. ^

CHAPTER VHL 

1 Judas gathered an host. 9 Nicaiior is sent aeaiiisf him : wlio

fieeth wilh grief to Antiocli. 

THEN Judas Maccabeus, and they thatvrcrc with 
him, went privily into the tonus, and called their 
kinsfolk together,^ ■" and took uuio them all such as ^ ^ jj^,, 2 
continued in llie Jev,s' religion, and assembled about 42. 
six thousand men. 

2 And they '' called upon the Lord, that lie would i>Fs. 116,4 
look upon the people that was trodtlen down of alj ; 

and also pity the temple profaned of ungodly men ;' 

3 And that he would have compassion upon the cit}', 
sore defaced, and ready to be made even with the 
ground ; and hear " the blood that cried unto him, cGen.4,10 

4 And remember '' the wicked slaughter of harm- a rh.5 13 
less infants, and the blasphemies committed against ^-Cjio. 
hi;i name ; and that he would shew his hatred against 

the wicked. 

5 Now when Maccabeus had his company about 

him, he could not be withstood by the heathen : "^ for e [sa.S4, 8 
the wratli of the Lord was turned into mercy. 

6 Therefore he came at unawares, and burned up 
towns and cities, and got into his hands the most 
commodious places, and overcame and put to flight 
no small number of his enemies. 

7 But specially took he advantage of the night for 
such privy attempts, insomuch that the bruit of his 
manliness was spread every where. 

8 So when "^ Philip saw that this man increased by fch. 5, 2? 
little and little, and that things prospered with him 

still more and more, he wrote unto Ptolemeus, the 
governor of Celosyria and Phenice, to yield more 
aid to the king's affairs. 

9 Then forthwith choosing ^ Nicanor the son of 1 1 Mac. 3, 
Patroclus, one of his special friends, he sent him with " ■ 

no fewer than twenty thousand of all nations under 

him, to root out the whole generation of the Jews ; 

and with him he joined '' also Gorgias a captain, who hi Mac. 3 

in matters of war had great experience. ^^• 

10 So Nicanor undertook to make so much money 
of the captive Jews, as should defray the tribute of 
two thousand talents, which the king was to pay to 
the Romans. 

1 1 Wherefore immediately he sent to the cities upon 
the sea-coast, proclaiming a sale of the captive Jews, 
and promising that they should have fourscore and 

ten bodies for one talent; not expecting 'the ven- ich. 7, 35. 
geance that was to follow upon him from the Almigh- 
ty God. 

12 Now when word was brought unto Judas of 
Nicanor's coming, and he had imparted unto those 
that were with him that the army was at hand, 

13 ''They that were fearful, and distrusted die jus- iclMac.3, 
tice of God, fled, and conveyed themselves away. ^*^- 

14 Others sold all that lliey had left, and widial 
besought the Lord to deliver them, being sold by the

15 And if not for their own sakes, yet for the co- 
venants he had made with their fathers, and ' for his IPs. lOG, 8. 
holy and glorious name's sake, by which they were 
called. 

16 So Maccabeus called his men togeUier, unto the 
number of six thousand, and exhorted them "" not to ml Mac. 4, 
be stricken with terror of the enemy, nor to fear the "

great multitude of the heathen, who came wrongfully 
against them ; but to fight manfully. 

17 And to set before their eyes the injury that they 
had unjustly done to the holy place, and the cruel 
handling of the city, whereof they made a mockery, 
and also tiie taking away of the government of their 
forefathers : 

18 For the}', sa'd he, trust in their weapons and

'19 Moreover, he recounted unto them what helps 
eir forefathers had found, and how they were de- 
livered, " when under Sennacherib an bundled four- 
score and five thousand perished. 

20 And lie told them of the battle that they had in 

II I Macis, I^fih^lon with the {| Galatians, how they came but 

2- eight thousand in all to the business, with four thou- 

sand Macedonians, and tliat the Macedonians being 
perplexed, the eight thousand destroj'ed an hundred 
and Iwenty thousand, because of the help that tliey 

pi Mac. 5, l,ad from lieaven, p and so received a great booty. 

&~10,U7. 21 Tlius when he had made them bold with these 

words, and ready to die for the laws and the country, 
he divided ills aiiir" into four parts; 

22 And joined with iiiinself iiis own brethren, lead- 
ers of eacli band, to wit, Simon, and Josepii, and Jo- 
nathan, giving each one fifteen hundred men. 

23 Also he appointed '' Eleazar to read the holy 
book : and when he had given them this watchword.

joined battle uich IVicanor. 

24 And ■■ by the help of the Almighty tiiey slew 
above nine thousand of their enemies, and wounded 
and maimed llie most part of Nicanor's host, and so 
put all to flight ; 

25 And took their money ' tliat came to buy them, 
and pursued them far : but lacking time they returned : 

26 For it was the day before the sabbath, and 
therefore they would no longer pursue them. 

27 So when they had gathered || their armour to- 
gether, and ' spoiled their enemies, tliey occupied 
themselves about the sabbath, yielding exceeding 
praise and thanks to the Lord, who iiad preserved 
them unto that day, which was the beginning of mer- 
cy distilling upon them. 

28 And after the sabbath, when they had given 
part of the spoils to the || maimed, and the widows, 
and orphans, the residue they divided among them- 
selves and their servants. 

29 When this was done, and they had made a com- 
uPi. 130,2. mon " supplication, they besought the merciful Lord 

to be reconciled with his servants for ever. 

30 Moreover, of those that were with Timotheus 
and Bacciiides, who fought against them, they slew 
above twenty thousand, and very easily got high and 
strong holds, and divided among themselves many 
spoils more, and made " the 1| maimed, orphans, widows, 
yea, and the aged also, equal in spoils with ihemselvcs. 

31 And when they had gathered their armour to- 
gether, they laid them up all carefully in convenient 
places, and the remnant of the spoils they brought to 
Jerusalem. 

32 They slew also Philarches tiiat ^ wicked per- 
son, who was with Timotheus, and liad annoyed the 
Jews many ways.

33 Furthermore, at such tune as they kept the feast 
for the victory in their country, they burnt Callis- 
thenes, that had set fire upon the holy gales, who had 
fled into a little house; and so he received a reward 
meet for his wickedness. 

34 As for that most ungracious ^Nicanor, who had ^ ^^''""^'^s y>

35 He was, through the help of the Loirl, brought 
down by them of whom he made least account; and 
putting ofl" his glorious apparel, and discharging his

midland unto Antioch, having very great dishonour, 
for that his host was destroyed.

fight for them, and therefore they could not be hurt, 
because they followed the laws that he gave them. 

CHAPTER IX. 

2 Antioclius is chased from Pecsepolis: 5 He is stricken willi a sore 
disease, 14 and promiscUi to become a Jew : 28 He dieth miseiably. 

BOUT that time came Antiochus || with di«3ho- 
nour " out of the countr}' of Persia. 

2 For he had entered the city called Persepolis, and 
went about to rob the temple, and to hold the city; 
whereupon the nndtitude, rumiing to defend themselves 
with their weapons, put them to (light; and so it hap- 
pened, that Antiochus, being put to flight of the in- 
habitants, returned with shame. 

3 Now when he came to Ecbatane, news was 
brought him ^ what had happened unto Nicanor and 
Timotheus. 

4 Then swelling with anger, he thought to avenge 
upon the Jews the disgrace done unto him by those 
that made him flee. Therefore commanded he his 
chariot-man to drive without ceasing, and to despatch 
the journey, '^ the judgment of God now following 
him. For he had spoken '' proudly in this sort. That 
he would come to Jerusalem, and make it a common 
bur} ing-place of the Jews. 

5 But the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, 
^ smote him with an incurable and invisible plague : 
for as soon as he had spoken these words, a |)ain of 
the bowels that was remediless came upon him, and 
sore torments of the inner parts ; 

6 And that most justly : ' for he had tormented other 
men's bowels with many and strange torments. 

7 Howbeit, he nothing at all ceased from his brag- 
ging, but still was filled with pride, ^ breathing out fire 
in his rage against the Jews, and commanding to haste 
the journey : but it came to pass that he fell down from 
his chariot, carried violently; &o that having a sore 
fall, all the members of iiis body were much pained. 

8 And thus he that a litde afore thought he might 
command the waves of the sea, (so '' proud was he 
beyond the condidon of man) and weigii the high 
mountains in a balance, was now cast on the ground, 
and carried in an horse-litter, shewing forth unto all 
the manifest power of God. 

9 So that ' the worms rose up out of the body of 
this wicked man, and while he lived in sorrow and 
pain, his flesh fell away, and the fillhiness of his smell 
was noisome to all his army. 

10 And the man, that thought a little afore he could 
reach to the stars of heaven, no man could endure to 
carry for his intolerable stink.

1 1 Here therefore being plagued, he began to leave 
off his great pride, '' and to come to the knowledge of 
himself by the scourge of God, his pain increasing 
every moment. 

12 And when he himself could not abide his own 
smell, he said these words, It is meet to be subject unto 
God, and that a man that is mortal should not proud- 
ly think of himself, as if he were God. 

13 This wicked person vowed also unto the Lord 
(who ' now no more would have mercy upon him) 
saying thus, 

14 That the holy city (to the which he was going in 
haste to lay it even with the ground, and ™ to make it 
a common burying-place,) he would set at liberty : 

15 And as touching the Jews, whom he had judged 
not worthy to be so much as buried, but to be cast 
out with their children to be devoured of the fowls 
and wild beasts, he would make them all equals with 
the citizens of || Athens : 

16 And the holy temple, which before he had 
spoiled, " he would garnish with goodly gifts, and 
restore all the holy vessels with many more, ° and out 
of his own revenue defray the charges belonging to 
the sacrifices : 

17 Yea, and that also he would become a Jew him- 
self, and go through all the world that was inhabited, 
and declare the p power of God. 

18 But for all this his pains would not cease: for 
the just judgment of God was come upon him : there- 
fore despairing of his iiealth, he wrote unto the Jews 
the letters underwritten, containing the form of a sup- 
plication, after this manner : 

19 Antiochus, king and governor, to the good Jews 
his citizens, wisheth much joy, health, and prosperity : 

20 If ye and your childi-en fare well, and your af- 
fairs lie to your contentment, "■ I give very great 
thanks to God, having my hope in heaven. 

21 As for me, I was weak, or else I would have 
remembered kindly your honour and good will. ""Re- 
turning out of Persia, ^ and being taken with a griev- 
ous disease, I thought it necessary to care for the 
common safety of all : 

22 Not distrusting mine health, but having great 
hope to escape this sickness. 

23 But considering that even my father, at what 
time he led an army into ' the high countries, appoint- 
ed a successor, 

24 To the end that, if any thing fell out contrary 
to expectation, or if any tidings were brought that 
were grievous, they of the land, knowing to whom 
II the state was left, might not be troubled : 

25 Again, considering how that the princes, that 
are borderers and neighbours unto my kingdom wait 
for opportunities, and expect what shall be the event, 
I have " appointed my son Antiochus king, whom I 
often committed and connnended unto many of you, 
when I went up into the high provinces; to whom I 
have written as foUoweth : 

26 Therefore I pray and request you to remember 
the benefits that I have done unto you generally, and 
*n special, and that every man will be still faithful to 
me and my son. 

27 For I am persuaded that he, || understanding 
my mind, will favourably and graciously yield to 
your desires.

NOW Maccabeus and his company, the Lord guid-

2 But the altars which tlie heathen had built in the 
open street, and also the chapels, they pulled down, 

3 And having cleansed the temple, they made ano- 
ther altar, and striking stones they took fire out of 
them, and ofiered a sacrifice after two years, and set 
fordi incense, and lights, and shew-bread. 

4 When that was done, ^ they fell flat down, and b Josh. 7, 6. 
besought the Lord that they might come no more into 

such troubles; but if they sinned anymore against 
him, that he himself would chasten them with mercy, 
and that they might not be delivered unto the blas- 
phemous and barbarous nations. 

5 Now upon the same day that the strangers pro- 
faned the temple, on the very same day it was cleansed 
again, even the five and twentieth day of the same 
month, " which is Casleu. 

6 And they kept eight dajs with gladness, as in 
the feast of the tabernacles, remembering that not long 
afore they had held the feast of the tabernacles, when 
as 
beasts. 

7 Therefore they bare branches, and fair boughs, 
and palms also, and sang psalms unto him that had 
given them good success in cleansing his place. 

8 They ordained also by a common statute and 
decree. That every year those da3's should be kept of 
the whole nation of the Jews.

1 1 So when he was come to the crown, he set one 
^ Lysias over the aflairs of his realm, and appointed 
him chief governor of Celosyria and Phenice. 

12 For Ptolemeus, that was called Macron, choos- 
ing rather to do justice unto the Jews for the wrong 
that had been done unto them, endeavoured to con- 
tinue peace with them. 

13 Whereupon being accused of i/ic Atom's friends 
before Eupator, and called traitor at every word, be-

14 But when '' Gorgias was governor of the || holds, 
he hired soldiers, and nourished war continually with 
the Jews : 

15 And therewithal the Idumeans, having gotten 
into their hands the most commodious holds, kept 
the Jews occupied, and receiving tliose that were ba-

' supplication, and besought God that he would be 
their helper ; and so they ran with violence upon the 
strong holds ot" the Idumeaus, 

17 And assaulting them strongly, they won the 
holds, and kept off all that fought upon the wall, and 
slew all that fell into their hands, and killed no fewer 
than twenty thousand. 

18 And because certain, who were no less than 
nine thousand, were fled together into two very strong 
castles, having all manner of things convenient to sus- 
tain the siege, 

19 Maccabeus left '' Simon and Joseph, and Zac- 
cheus also, and them that were with him, who were 
enough to besiege them, and departed himself unto 
those places which more needed iiis help. 

20 Now II they that were with Simon, being led 
widi 'covetousness, were persuaded for money through 
certain of those tliat were in the castle, and took se- 
venty tliousand drachms, and let some of them escape. 

21 But when it was told Maccabeus what was done, 
he called the governors of the people together, and ac- 
cused those men that they had sold their brethren for 
mone\, and set their enemies free to fight against them. 

22 So he slew tlio.>^e tiiat were found ™ traitors, and 
immediately took the two castles. 

23 And having good success with his weapons in 
all things he took in hand, he slew in the two holds 
more tiian twenty thousand. 

24 IS'ow Timotheus, ° whom the Jews had over- 
come before, when he had gathered a great multitude 
of foreign forces, and horses out of Asia not a few, 
came as thoucrh he would take Jewry by force of arms. 

25 l?ut when he drew near, j| they that were with 
Maccabeus turned themselves to pray unto God, and 
sprinkled cartii upon their heads, and girded their 
loins with s;\ckcloth, 

26 And fell down at the foot of the altar, and be- 
sought him to be merciful to them, and to be ° an en- 
emy to their enemies, and an adversary to their ad- 
versaries, as the law declaretli. 

27 So after tiie prater, they took their weapons, 
and went on further from the city: and when they 
drew near to their enemies, tliey kept by themselves. 

23 Now the sun being newly risen, they joined both 
together ; the one part having, together with their 
virtue, their refuge also p unto the Lord for a || pledge 
of their success and victory : the other side making 
their rage leader of their battle. 

29 But « hen the battle waxed strong, there appeared 
unto the enemies from heaven five comely men upon hor- 
ses, with bridles of gold, and two of them led the Jews, 

30 And 1 took Maccabeus betwi.ict them, and co- 
vered him on every side with their weapons, and kept 
him safe, but shot arrows and lightnings against the 
enemies : so that being confounded with blindness, 
and full of trouble, they were killed. 

31 And there were slain of footmen twenty thou- 
sand and five hundred, and six hundred horsemen. 

32 As for 'Timotheus himself,he fled into a very strong 
hold, called Gazara, where Chcreas was governor. 

33 But they that were with ISIaccabeus laid siege 
against the fortress courageously four days. 

34 And they that were within^ trusting in the 
strengdi of the place, ' blasphemed exceedingl}", and 
uttered wicked words. 

33 Nevertheless, upon the fifth day early, twenty

young men of Maccabeus' company, inflamed with 
anger because of the blasphemies, assaulted the wall 
manly, and with a fierce courage killed all that they 
met withal. 

36 Others likewise ascending after them, while they 
were busied with them that were within, burned the 
towers, and kindling fires, burned the blasphemers 
alive ; and others broke open the gates 
received in the rest of the army, took the cit\",

NOT long after this, '^ Ljsias the king's j protec- 
tor and cousin, who also managed the aflairs, 
took sore displeasure for the things that were done. 

2 And when he had gathered about fourscore thou- 
sand with all the horsemen, he came against the Jews, 
thinking to make the city an habitation of the || Gentiles, 

3 And to make a gain of the temple, as of the other 
chapels of tlie heathen, and to set the high priesthood 
to sale every year : 

4 Not at all considering '' the power of God, but 
puffed up with his ten thousands of footmen, and his 
thousands of horsemen, and his fourscore elephants. 

5 So he came to Judea, and drew near to "^Bethsura, 
which was a strong town, but distant from Jerusalem 
about five furlongs ; and he laid sore siege unto it. 

C Now when || they that were with Maccabeus heard 
that he besieged the holds, they and all th.e people 
with lamentation and tears besought the Lord that he 
would send a good '^ angel to deliver Israel. 

7 Then Maccabeus himself first of all took wea- 
pons, exhorting the other that they would jeopard 
themselves together with him to help their brethren : 
so they went forth together with a willing mind. 

8 And as they were at Jerusalem, there appeared 
before them on horseback one in * white clothing, shak- 
ing his armour of gold. 

9 Then they praised the merciful God all together, 
and took heart, insomuch that they were ready not 
only to fight with men, but with most cruel beasts, 
and to pierce through walls of iron. 

10 Thus they marched forward in their armour, 
' having an helper from heaven : for the Lord was 
mercifid unto them. 

11 And giving a charge upon their enemies like 
lions, they slew eleven thousand footmen, and sixteen 
hundred horsemen, and put all the other to flight. 

12 Mf.ny of them also being wounded, escaped 
naked ; and Lysias himself fled away shamefully, and 
so escaped. 

13 Who, as he was a man of understanding, casting 
with himself what loss he had had, and considering 
that the Hebrews could not be overcome, because ^the 
Almighty God helped then), he sent unto them, 

14 And persuaded them to agree to all reasonable 
conditions, nnd promised that he would persuade the 
king that he must needs be a friend unto them. 

15 Then Maccabeus '' consented to all that Lysias 
desired, being careful of the common good ; and

whatsoever Maccabeus wrote unto Lysias concerning 
the Jews, ' the king granted it. 

16 For there were letters written unto the Jews 
Pro. 21,1. from Lysias to this efiect : Lysias unto the people of 

the Jews sendeth greeting : 

17 John and Absalom, who were sent from you, 
delivered me the petition subscribed, and made request 
for the performance of the contents thereof. 

18 Therefore what things soever were meet to be 
reported to the king, I have declared them, and he 
hath ^ granted as much as might be. 

19 If then ye will keep yourselves loyal to the state, 
hereafter also will I endeavor to be a means ofyour good. 

20 But of the particulars I have given order both 
to these, and the others that came from me, to com- 
mune with you. 

21 ' Fare ye well. The hundred and eight and 
fortieth year, the four and twentieth day of the month 
II Dioscorinthius. 

22 Now the king's letter contained these words : 
King Antiochus unto his brother Lysias ™ sendeth 
greeting : 

23 Since our father is translated unto the gods, our 
will ii, that they that are in our realm live quietly, 
that every one may attend upon his own affairs. 

24 We understand also that the Jews would not 
consent to our father, for to be brought unto " the 
custom of the Gentiles, but had rather keep their own 
manner of living : for the which cause they require of us, 
that we should suffer them to live after" their own laws. 

25 Wherefore our mind is, that this nation shall be 
in rest, and we have determined to restore them their 
temple, that they may live according to the customs 
of their forefathers. 

26 Thou shalt do well therefore to send unto them, 
and II grant them peace, that when they are certified 
of our mind, they may be of good coiiifort, and ever 

p verse 23. go cheerfully about '' their own aflairs. 

27 And the letter of the king unto the nation of the 
qv2rse22. Jews was after this manner: King Antiochus '' senrf- 

eth greeting unto the council, and the rest of the Jews : 

28 If ye fare well, we have our desire; we are also 
n good health. 

29 Menelaus declared unto us, that your desire was 
to return home, and to follow your own business : 

30 Wherefore they that will depart shall have safe 
conduct till tiie thirtiethdayof Xanthicus with security. 

31 And the Jews shall use their own kind of'" meats 
and ^ laws, as before ; and none of them any manner 
of ways shall be molested for tilings ignorantly done. 

32 I have sent also Menelaus, that he may com- 
fort you. 

33 ' Fare ye well. In the hundred forty and eighth 
year, and in the fifteenth day of the month \\ Xanthicus. 

34 The Romans also sent unto them a letter con- 
taining these words : Quintus Mennnius and Titus 
Manlius || ambassadors of the Romans^ "send greet-

''^^- , 35 Whatsoever Lysias =' the kind's cousin hath

granted, therevvitli we also are well pleased. 

36 But touching such things as he judged to be re- 
ferred to the king, after ye have advised thereof, send 
one forthwith, that we may declare as it is convenient 
for you : for we are now going to Antioch. 

37 Theref()re send some with speed, that we may

WHEN these covenants were made, Lysias went cir. ini.

husbandry. 

2 But of the governors of several places, "^Timo- bcl;. 10,37 
theus, and Apollonius the son of Genneus, also Hicro- 
nymus, and Demophon, and besides them Nicanor the 
governor of Cyprus, would not suffer them to be

3 The men of Joppe also did such an ungodly deed : "■ 
they prayed the Jews that dwelt among them to go 
with their wives and children into the boats which they 
had prepared, as thougii they had meant them no hurt. 

4 Who accepted of it according to the common de- 
cree of the citj', as being desirous to live in peace, and 
suspecting nothing : but when they were gone forth 
into the deep, they drowned no less than two hundred 
of them. 

5 When Judas heard of tliis cruelty done unto his 
countrymen, he commanded tliose that were with him 
to make them ready. 

6 And calling upon God '^ the righteous Judge, he d Gen. 18, 
came against tliose "^ murderers of his brethren, and ^^^j^ g gg 
burned the haven by night, and set the boats on fire, 

and those that fled thither he slew. 

7 And when the town was shut up, he went back-

set fire on th.e haven and the navy, so that the light of

that the Nomades of Arabia, being overcome, be-

that they behaved themselves rudely towards them

uttering such words as were not to be spoken. 

15 Wherefore Judas with his company, calling upon 

the great Lord of tlie world, '' wlio without any rams k^'osl'^il

Jews that are called Tubieni. 

18 But as for Timotheus, they found him not in 
the places : for before he had despatched any thing, 
he departed from thence, having left a very strong 
garrison in a certain hold. 

19 Howbeit, Dositheus and Sosipater, who were of

20 And Maccabeus ranged his army by bands, and "set 
II tliem over the bands, and went against Timotheus, who 
had about iiim an hundred and twenty thousand men 
of foot, and two thousand and five hundred horsemen. 

21 Now when Timotiieus iiad knowledge of Judas' 
coming, he sent tiie women and children and the other 
baggage unto a ° fortress called || Camion : for the 
town was hard to besiege, and uneasy to come unto, 
by reason of the straitness of all tiie places. 

22 But wiien Judas liis first band came in sight, 
P tiie enemies, being smitten with fear and terror 
through tiie appearing of him that seeth all things, fled 
amain, one running this way, another that way, so as 
that they were often hurt of their own men, and wound- 
ed with the points of their own swords. 

23 Judas also was very earnest in pursuing them, 
killing those wicked wretciies, of wliom lie slew about 
tliirty thousand met.. 

24 Moreover Timotiieus Iiimself fell into tlie iiands 
of'' Dositheus and Sosipater, whom he bcsouglit witii 
much craft to let him go with his life, because he had 
many of tlie Jews' parents, and the brethren of some 
of tliem, who, if they had put him to death, should not 
be regarded. 

25 So wiien he had assured them with many words 
that he would restore tiiem without hurt, according to 

r Rom. 9,3. ^[jg ag,-eement, they let him go for the saving of their 
brethren. 

26 Then Maccabeus marched forth to Carnion, 
\\Or,Vous. a„j (0 the temple of || Atargatis, and there he slew 

five and twenty thousand persons. 

27 And after he had put to (light and destroyed 
U Mac. 5, t|^p,p^ Judas removed the host towards * Epliron, a 

strong city, wiierein Lysias abode, and a great multi- 
tude of divers nations, and the strong young men kept 
the wails, and defended tiiein miglitily: wiierein also 
was great provision of engines and darts. 

28 But when ' Judas and his company had called 
upon Aiiniglity God, who with liis power breaketh tlie 
strengtii of his enemies, they won tiie city and slew 
twenty and five thousand of tliem that were within. 

2H From thence they departed to Scythopolis, 
wiiich lieth si.\ hundred furlongs from Jerusalem. 

30 But when the Jews that dwelt there had testified 
that the Scythopolitans dealt lovingly w ith them, and 
u Job6 14. entreated them kindly " in the time of their adversity: 
Pro. 17, 17. 31 They gave them thanks, desiring them to be 
friendly still unto them : and so they came to Jerusa- 
lem, "^ the feast of the weeks approaching. 

32 And after the feast called Pentecost, they went 
forth against Gorgias the governor of Idumea,

35 At which time, ' Dosidieus, one of Bacenor's y verse 19

36 JNow when they that were with Gorgias had him in the 
fought long, and were weary, Judas called upon the g,'.""'*'^^ 
Lord, ^ that he would shew himself to be their helper him omiu 
and leader of the battle. z pf S' 1 

37 And with that he began in his own language, 
and sung psalms with a loud voice, and rushing un- 
awares upon Gorgias' men, he put them to fliglit. 

38 So Judas gathered his host, and came into the 
city Odollam. And when the seventh day came, they 
purified themselves, as the custom was, and kept the 
sabbath in the same place. 

39 And upon the day follow ing, || as the use had 1| Or, at

40 Now under the coats of every one that was 
slain they found things consecrated to the idols of 

the Jamnites, which is forbidden the Jews by ''the b Deut. 7,

they saw before their eyes the things that came to 
pass for the sins of tliose tliat were slain. 

43 And wlien he had made a gathering through- 
out tiie company to tlie sum of two tliousand drachms 
of silver, he sent it to Jerusalem to ofler a sin-oflering, 
doing tlierein very well and honestly, in tliat he was 
mindful of ^ the resurrection : 

44 For if he had not hoped that they that were 
slain should have risen again, it liad been superfluous 
and vain to pray for tlie dead. 

45 And also in that he perceived that there was 

great favour *" laid up for tliose that died godly. (It f 2 Tim. 4, 
was an holy and good thought.) Whereupon he made 
a reconciliation for the dead, that they might be de- 
livered from sin.

CHAPTER XIV. 

6 Alcimus accusetli Judas. 18 Kicanor raakelli peace with Judas: 
39 He seeketh to take Razis ; 46 who, to escape their hands, kill- 



against this wicked wretch, and Lysias informed the 
king that this man was the cause of all mischief, so that 
the king commanded to bring him unto Berea, and to 
put him to death, as the manner is in that place. 

5 Now there was in that place a tower of fifty cu- 
bits high, full of ashes; and it had a round instrument, 
which on every side hanged down into the ashes. 

6 And whosoever was condemned of sacrilege, or 
had committed any other grievous crime, there did all 
men thrust him unto death. 

7 Such a death it happened that wicked man to 
die, not having so much as burial in the earth ; and 
that most jusdy : 

8 For insomuch ^ as he had committed many sins 
about the altar, whose fire and ashes were holy, he 
received his death in ashes. 

9 Now the king came with a barbarous and haugh- 
ty mind to do far worse to the Jews, than had been 
done in his father's time. 

10 Which things when Judas perceived, he com- 
manded the multitude to call upon the Lord ^ night 
and da}', that if ever at any other time, he would now 
also help them, being at the point to be put from their 
law, from their country, and from the holy temple : 

11 And that he woidd not suffer the people, that 
II had even now been but a little ^ refreshed, to be in 
subjection to the blasphemous nations. 

12 So when they had all done this together, and 
besought the merciful Lord with weeping and fasting, 
and lying flat upon the ground ' three days long, Ju- 
das, having exho.rted them, commanded they should 
be in a readiness. 

13 And Judas, being apart with the elders, deter- 
mined, before the king's host should enter into Ju- 
dea, and get the city, to go forth and try the matter 
in fight by the help of the Lord. 

14 So when he had committed all to the || Creator 
of the world, and exhorted his soldiers to fight man- ) 
fully, even unto death, for the laws, the temple, the ) 
city, the country, and the commonwealth, he camped ( 
by Modin : J

were about him, '' Victory is of God ; with the most '

eth himself. 

AFTER three years was Judas informed, that"" De- 
metrius, the .'ion of Seleucus, having entered by 
{ the haven of Tripoli^ with a great power and navy, 
\ 2 Had taken the country, ''and killed Antiochus, blMac. 7 
^ and Lysias his protector. 

\ 3 Now " one Alcimus, who had been high priest, 
* and had defiled himself wilfully in the times of their 
^ mingling ivith the Gentiles, seeing that by no means 
^ he could save himself, nor have any more access to 
' the holy altar, 

) 4 Came to king Demetrius in the hundred and one 

^ and fiftieth year, presenting unto him a crown of gold, 

( and a palm, and also of the boughs which were || used 

i solemnly in the temple: and so that day he held his peace. 

f 5 Howbeit, having gotten opportunity to further 

his foolish enterprise, and being called into council by 

Demetrius, and asked how the Jews stood affected, 

and what they intended, he answered thereunto : 

6 Those of the Jews that be called '^ Assideans, ^ l Mac. 2, 
whose captain is Judas Mai;cabeus, * nourish war, and eSeeKings 
are seditious, and will not let the realm be in peace. ^^> 1^- 

7 Therefore I, being deprived of mine ancestors' ho- 
nour, I mean the high priesdiood, am now come hither : 

8 First, verily for the unfeigned care I have of 
things pertaining to the king; and secondly, even for 

3'men : for 
, h the unad- 
vised dealing of them aforesaid 

9 Wherefore, O king, seeing thou knowest all these 
things, be careful for the country', ^ and our nation, 

j which is pressed on every side, according to the cle- 



f See Isal 

49, 23. 



17 This was done in the break of the day, because } mency that thou readily shewest unto all 



the protection of the Lord did help him. 

18 Nmv when the king had taken a taste of the 
manliness of the Jews, he went about to take the holds 
by policy, 

19 And marched towards Bethsura, " which was a 
strong hold of the Jews : but he was put to flight, 
failed, and lost of his men : 

20 For Judas had conveyed unto them that were 
in it such things as were necessary. 

21 But Rhodocus, who was in the Jews' host, dis- 
closed the secrets to the enemies ; therefore he was 



sought out, and when they had gotten him, they put f 

him in r>i-i<:nn f 



m prison. 



10 For as long as Judas livelh, it is not possible 
that the state should be quiet. 

11 This was no sooner spoken of him, but others 
of §^ the king's friends, being maliciously set against glMac. 3 
Judas, did more incense Demetrius. 

12 And forthwith calling '' Nicpuor, who had been 
master of the elephants, and making him governor 
over Judea, he sent him forth, 

13 Commanding him to slaj' Judas, and to scatter 
them that were witli him, and to make ' Alcimus high 
priest of the great temple. 

14 Then "^the heathen that had fled out of Judea k Fs. 2, i 
from Judas, came to Nicanor by flocks, thinking the *' '

over Judas and them that were with him 

7 But Maccabeus had even sure confidence that the 
Lord would help him : 

8 Wherefore he exhorted his people not to fear the 
coming of the heathen against them, but to remember 
the help which in former times they had received from 

f ch. 13, 15. heaven, and now to expect *^ the victory and aid, which <[ 

should come unto them from the Almighty. > 

9 And so comforting them out of the law and the J 
prophets, ^ and withal putting them in mind of the bat- ^ 
ties that they won afore, he made them more cheerful. ( 

10 And when he had stirred up their minds, he gave i 
them the charge, shewing them therewithal the false- j 
hood of the heathen, ^ and the breach of oaths. f 

11 Thus he armed every one of them, not so much ^ 
with defence of shields and spears, as with ' comforta- 
ble and good words : and besides that, he told them a 
dream worthy to be believed, as if it had been so in- 
deed, which did not a little rejoice them. 

12 And this was his vision : That Onias, who had 
been high priest, a virtuous and a good man, reverend 
in conversation, gentle in condition, well-spoken also, 
and exercised ^ from a child in all points of virtue, 
holding up his hands, prayed for the whole body of ^ 
the Jews. ( 

13 This done, in like manner there appeared a man 5 
with gray hairs, and exceeding glorious, who was of i 
a wonderful and excellent majesty. j 

14 Then Onias answered, saying. This is a lover of ^ 
the brethren, who prayeth much for the people, and ^ 
for the holy city, to wit, ' Jeremias the prophet of God. ' 

15 Whereupon Jeremias holding forth his right f 
hand, gave to Judas a sword of gold, and, in giving ^ 
it, spake thus, ; ( 

16 Take this holy sword, a gift from God, ™ with ^ 
the which thou shalt wound the adversaries, i 

17 Thus being well comforted by the words of Ju- ^ 
das, which were very good, and able to stir them up ^ 
to valour, and to encourage the hearts of the young ^ 
men, they determined not to pitch camp, but courage- ' 
ously to set upon them, and manfully to "ry the mat- 5 
ter by conflict, because the city and the sanctuary and ■ 
the temple were in danger. 

18 For the care that they took for their wives, and ^ 
their children, their brethren, and kinsfolks, was in ' 
least account with them : " but the greatest and prin- ( 
cipal fear was for the holy temple. i 

19 Also they that were in the city took not the least ' 
care, being troubled for the conflict abroad. ' 

20 And now, when as all looked what should be i 
the trial, and the enemies were already come near, and J 
the army was set in array, and the beasts conveniently ' 
placed, and the horsemen set in wings. J 

21 Maccabeus, seeing the coming of the multitude, ^ 
and the divers preparations of armour, and the fierce- ' 
ness of the beasts, " stretched out his hands towards > 
heaven, and called upon the Lord that worketh won- J

ders, knowing that P victory cometh not by arms, but 
even as it seemeth good to him, he giveth it to such as 
are worthy : 

22 Therefore in his prayer he said after this manner ; 
O Lord, '' thou didst send thine angel in the time of 
Ezekias king of Judea, and didst slay in the host of 
Sennacherib an hundred fourscore and five thousand 

23 Wherefore now also, O Lord of heaven, 'send 
a good angel before us for a fear and dread unto them ; 

24 And through the might of thine arm let those be 
stricken with terror, that come against thy holy peo- 
ple to blaspheme. And he ended thus. 

25 Then Nicanor and they that were with him 
came forward with trumpets and songs. 

26 But Judas and his company encountered the 
enemies with ' invocation and prayer. 

27 So that fighting with their hands, and praying 
unto God with their hearts, they slew no less than 
thirty and five thousand men : for through the ap- 
pearance of God they were greatly cheered. 

28 Now when the battle was done, ' returning again 
with joy, they knew that Nicanor lay dead in his 
harness. 

29 Then they made a great shout and a noise, 
praising the Almighty in their own language. 

30 And Judas, who was ever the chief defender ol 
the citizens, both in body and mind, and who continu- 
ed his love towards his countrymen all his life, com- 
manded " to strike ofi"Nicanor's head, and his hand 
with his shoulder, " and bring them to Jerusalem. 

31 So when he was there, and had called them of 
his nation together, and set the priests before the altar, 
he sent for them that were of ^ the tower. 

32 And shewed them vile Nicanor's head, and 
the hand of that blasphemer, ^ which with proud 
brags he had stretched out against the holy temple of 
of the Almighty. 

33 And when he had cut out the tongue of that 
ungodl}' Nicanor, he commanded that they should 
give it by pieces unto the fowls, and hang up the re- 
ward of his madness before the temple. 

34 So every man ^ praised toward the heaven the 
glorious Lord, saying, Blessed be he that hath kept 
his own place undefiled. 

35 He hanged also Nicanor's head upon the tower, 
an evident and manifest sign unto all of the help of 
the Lord. . 

36 And they '' ordained all with a common decree, 
in no case to let that day pass without solemnity, but 
to celebrate the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, 
which in the Syrian tongue is called *^ Adar, the day 
before Mardocheus' day. 

37 Thus went it with Nicanor : and from that time 
forth the Hebrews had the city in their power. And 
here will I make an end. 

38 And if I have done well, and as is fitting the 
story, it is that which I desired : but if slenderly and 
meanly, it is that which I could attain unto. 

39 For as it is hurtful to drink wine or water alone; 
and as wine mingled with water is pleasant, and de- 
lighteth the taste : even so speech '' finely framed de- 
lighteth the ears of them that read the story. And 
here shall be an end

CHAPTER I. 

I The genealogj' of Christ from Abraham to Joseph : 18 
He was conceived by the Holy Ghost, and born of the 
Virgin Mary, when she was espoused to Joseph. 19 
The angel satisfieth the misdeeming thoughts of Jo- 
seph, and interpreteth the names of Christ. 

*^|^HE book, of the generation of Jesus Christ, 
J- the son of David, the son of Abraham. 

2 ![ ''Abraham begat Isaac ; and Isaac begat 
Jacob : and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren ; 

3 " And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Tha- 
mar ; and Phares begat Esrom ; and Esrom be- 
gat Aram ; 

4 ■* And Aram begat Amuiadab ; and Amina- 
dab begat Naasson : and Naasson begat Salmon ; 

5 * And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab ; and 
Bocz begat Oljed of Ruth ; and Obed begat Jesse ; 

6 ' And Jesse be^at David the kin^ ; and Da- 
vid the king begat Solomon of her that had been 
the wife of Urias ; 

7 ^ And Solomon begat Roboam ; and Ro- 
boam begat Aliia and Abia begat Asa ; 

8 ^ And Asa uegat Josaphat ; and Josaphat 
bejT'it Joram ; and Joiam be^at Ozias ; 

9 ' And Ozias liegat Joatham ; and Joatham 
begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Eztkias ; 

10 " And Ezekias be2rat iManasses; and Ma- 
na.sses begat Anion ; and Amon be^at Josias ; 

1 1 ' And Josias begat Jechonias and his bre- 
thren, about the time they were carried away to 

II Babylon ; 

12 " And after they were brought to Baby- 
lon, Jechonias begat Salathiel ; and Salathiel 
begat Zorobabel ; 

13 And Zorobabel begat Abiud: and Abiud 
begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor : 

14 And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat 
Aehini; and Achim begat Eliud ; 

15 And Eliud begat Eleazar: and Eleazar 
begat Matthan ; and Matthan begat Jacob ; 

1 6 A nd Jacob begat J oseph the husband of ]Ma- 
ry, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. 

17 So all the generations from Abraham to 
David are fourteen generations : and from David 
until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen 
generations ; and from the carrying away into 
Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations. 

18 ^ " Now the birth of Jesus Christ was 
on this wise : "When as his mother ]\Iary was 
espoused to Joseph, before they came together, 
she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. 

19 "Then Joseph her husband, being a just 



man 



and not willing to make her a publi:.^ ex- 



ample, was minded to put ner away pri-vily. 

20 ?But w hile he thought on these things, be- 
hold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in 
a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear 
not to take unto thee j\Iary thy wife ; for that 
which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. 

21 '5 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou 
shalt call his name JESUS : for he shall save his 
people from their sins. 

22 Now all this was done, that it might be 
fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the 
prophet, saying, 

23 ■■ Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and 
shall liring forth a son, and they shall call his 
name Emmanuel ; which being interpreted, is, 
God with us. 

24 Then Joseph, being raised from sleep, did 
as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and 
took unto him his wife : 

25 And knew her not till she had brought 
forth her first-born son : and he called his name 
JESUS. 

CHAPTER II. 

1 The wise men out of the east are directed to Chifct 
by a star. 1 1 They worship him, and offer their pre- 
sents. 14 Joseph fieeth into Egypt with Jesus and his 
mother. 16 Herod slayeth the children. 20 Himself 
dieth. 23 Christ is brought back agiiin into Galilee to 
Nazareth. 

0A\ A^■hen Jesus was born in Bethlehem of 
in the davs of Herod the king, be 
hold, tlierc came wise men from the east to Je- 
rusalem, 

2 '' Saying, AVliere is he that is born King of 
the Jews .'' for we have seen his star in the east, 
and are come to worship him. 

3 ^Vhen Herod the king had heard these things, 
he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. 

4 And when he had gathered all the chief 
priests and scribes of the people together, he de- 
manded of them where Christ should be bom. 

5 And they said unto him,, In Bethlehem of 
Judea: for thus it is written by the prophet, 

6 ' And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Ju- 
da, art not the least among the princes of Juda : 
for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall 
rule my people Israel. 

7 Then Herod, when he had privily called 
the wise men, inquired of them diligently what 
time the star appeared. 

8 And he sent them to Bethlehem ; and said, 
Go and search diligently for the young child ; 
and when ye have found him, bring me word 
again, 'hat I ma^ come and worship him alsa

12 And being warned of God in a dream that 
they should not return to Herod, they departed 
into their own country another way. 

13 H And when they were departed, behold, 
the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a 
dream, saying. Arise, and take the young child 
and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou 
there until I bring thee word : for Herod will 
seek the young child, to destroy him.

and sent forth, and slew all the children that 
were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts there- 
of, from two years old and under, according to 
the time which he had diligently inquired of 
the wise men.

by Jeremy the prophet, saying,

teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the 
gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner 
of sickness and all manner of disease among 
the people. 

24 ^ And his fame went throughout all Syria : 
and they brought unto him all sick people that 
were taken with divers diseases and torments, 
and those which were possessed with devils, 
and those which were lunatic, and those that 
had the palsy ; and he healed them.

1 Christ beginneth his sermon in tlic mount : 3 declareth 
who are ble,«sed, 13 who are the salt of the earth, 14 
the light of the world, the city on an hill : 15 the 
. candle : 17 th.it he came to fulfil the law. 21 What it 
is to kill, 27 to commit adultery, 33 to swear : 38 ex- 
horteth to suffer wrcng, 44 to love even our enemies, 
48 and to labour after perfectness. 

\ ND seeing the multitudes, he went up info 
-^^^ a mountain : and when. he was set, his dis- 
ciples came unto him : 

2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, 
saying, 

3 " Blessed are the poor in spirit : for theirs 
is the kingdom of heaven. 

4 *" Blessed are they that mourn : for they 
shall be comforted. 

5 " Blessed are the meek : for they shall in- 
herit the earth. 

6 "^ Blessed are they Avhich do hunger and 
thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. 

7 "= Blessed are the merciful : for they shall 
obtain mercy. 

8 ' Blessed are the pure in heart : for they 
shall see God. 

9 s Blessed a7'e the peacemakers : for they 
shall be called the children of God. 

10 '' Blessed are they which are persecuted 
for righteousness' sake : for theirs is the king- 
dom of heaven. 

11 'Blessed are ye, when men shall revile 
you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner 
of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 

12 "^ Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for 
great is your reward in heaven : for so perse- 
cuted they the prophets which were before you.

salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be

Rash judgment reprovea. 

CHAPTER Vn. 

1 Christ endeth his sermon in the mount, reproveth rash 
judgment, 6 forbiddeth to cast holy things to dogs, 7 
exhorteth to prayer, 13 to enter in at the strait gate, 
15 to beware of false prophets, 21 not to be hearers J 
only, but doers of the word, 24 like houses builded on 
a rock, 26 and not on the sand. 

=» TUDGE not, that ye be not judged. 
*^ 2 ' For with what judgment ye judge, ye 
shall be judged : and with what measure ye 
mete, it shall be measured to you again. 

3 ^ And why beholdest thou the mote that is 
in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the 
beam that is in thine own eye ? 

4 " Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let ? 
me pull out the mote out of thine eye : and, be- ^ 
hold, a beam is in thine own eye r ^ 

5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out ^ 
Acts 13,^45, of thine own eye ; and then shalt thou see clear- ^ 
I'hii 3 2 ly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye. ^ 

6 *• Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, <! 
neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest 
they trample them under their feet, and turn 
again and rend you. 

7 ^ Ask, and it shall be given you ; seek, and | 
ye shall find ; knock, and it shall be opened un- ^ 
to you : ^ 

8 For every one that asketh receiveth ; and ^

11 ^ If ye then, being evil, know how to give ^ 



things to them that ask him ? 

12 "^ Therefore all things whatsoever ye would 
that men should do to you, do ye even so to 
them : for this is the law and the prophets. 

13 ' Enter ye in at the strait gate : for wide is 
the gate, and broad Mthe way, that Icadeth to de-

15 ''Beware of false prophets, which come > 
to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they i 
are ravening wolves : \ 

16 'Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do < 
men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles .'' ^ 

17" Even so every good tree bringeth forth 
good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth 
evil fruit. 

1 8 " A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, 
neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 

19 ° Every tree that bringeth not forth good 
fruit, is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 



20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know 
them. 

21 p Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, 
Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven ; 
but he that doeth the will of my Father which 
is in heaven. 

22 1 Many will say to me in that day. Lord, 
Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name ? and 
in thy name have cast out devils ? and in tliy 
name done many wonderful works ? 

23 "'And then will I profess unto them, I 
never knew you : depart from me, ye that work 
iniquity. 

24 H = Therefore whosoever heareth these 
sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken 
him unto a wise man, which built his house 
upon a rock : 

25 = And the rain descended, and the floods 
came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that 
house ; and it fell not : for it was founded upon 
a rock. 

26 And every one that heareth these sayings of 
mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a 
foolish man, which built his house upon the sand : 

27 And the rain descended, and the floods 
came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that 
house ; and it fell : and great was the fall of it. 

28 H * And it came to pass, when Jesus had 
ended these sayings, the people were astonished 
at his doctrine • 

29 ' For he taught them as one having au- 
thority, and not as the scribes. 

CHAPTER Vin. 

2 Christ cl^anseth the leper, 6 healeth the centurion's 
servant, 14 Peter's mother-in-law, 16 and many other 
diseased : 19 sheweth how he is to be followed : 23 
stilleth the tempest on the sea, 28 driveth the devils 
out of two men possessed, 32 and suffcreth them t6 
go into the swine. 

HEN he was come down from the moun- 
tain, great multitudes follow(id him. 

2 ^ And, behold, there came a leper and wor- 
shipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou 
canst make me clean. 

3 ^ And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched 
him, saying, I will ; be thou clean.: And imme- 
diately his leprosy was cleansed. 

4 * And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell 
no man ; but go thy way, shew thyself to the 
priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded 
for a testimony unto them. 

5 H '^ And when Jesus was entered into Ca- 
pernaum, there came unto him a centurion, be- 
seeching him, 

6 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home

I am not worthy that thou shouldest come un- 
der my roof : but speak the word only, and my 
servant shall be healed. 

9 For I am a man under authority, having sol- 
diers under me : and I say to this mart, Go, and 
he goeth ; and to another, Come, and he cometh ; 
and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. 

1 When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said 
to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I 
have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. 

11 ^And I say unto you. That many shall 
come from the east and west, and shall sit down 
with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the 
kingdom of heaven : 

12 « But the children of the kingdom shall 
be cast out into utter darkness : there shall be 
weeping and gnashing of teeth. 

13 '' And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go 
thy way ; and as thou hast believed, so be it 
done unto thee. And his servant was healed 
in the self-same hour. 

14 H 'And when Jesus was come into Pe- 
ter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and 
sick of a fever. 

15 And he touched her hand, and the fever left 
her : and she arose, and ministered || unto them. 

16 '' When the even was come, they brought 
unto him many that were possessed with devils ; 
and he cast out the spirits with his word, and 
healed all that were sick : 

17 ' That it might be fulfilled which was 
spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself 
took our infirmities, and liare our sicknesses. 

18 11 "Now when Jesus saw great multi- 
tudes about him, he gave commandment to de- 
part unto the other side. 

19 ' And a certain scribe came, and said un- 
to him. Master, I will follow thee whitherso- 
ever thou goest. 

20 And Jesus saith unto him. The foxes have 
holes, and the birds of the air have nests ; but 
the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. 

21 " And another of his disciples said unto liiin, 
Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. 

22 >' But Jesus said unto him, Follow me ; 
and let the dead bury their dead. 

23 "i And when he was entered into a ship, 
his disciples followed him. 

24 And, behold, there arose a great tempest 
in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered 
with the waves : but he was asleep. 

25 And his disciples came to him, and awoke 
him, saying, Lord, save us : we perish. 

26 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fear- 
ful, O ye of little faith ? Then he arose, and 
rebuked the winds and the sea ; and there was 
a great calm. 

27 'But the men marvellexl, saying. What

manner of man is this, that even the winds and dq^^ini

28 1 ' And when he was come to the other ^-^'^^'■'*-^ 
side, into the country of the Gergesenes, there Luke'^8,^26," 
met him two possessed with devils, coming out '^■ 

of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man 
might pass by that way. 

29 ' And, behold, they cried out, saying. 
What have we to do \\ ith thee, Jesus, thou Son 
of God ? art thou come hither to torment us 
before the time ? 

30 And there was a good way off" from them 
an herd of many swine feeding. 

31 So the devils besought him, saying. If 
thou cast us out, sufter us to go away into the 
herd of swine. 

32 And he said unto them, Go. And when 
they were come out, they weiit mto the herd of 
swine : and, behold, the whole herd of swine 
ran violently down a steep place into the sea, 
and perished in the waters : 

33 i\nd they that kept them fled, and went 
their \\<\y into the city, and told every thing, and 
what was befallen to the possessed of the devils. 

34 And, behold, the whole city came out to 
meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they 
besought /tm that he would depart out of their 
coasts.

seeing their faith, said unto the sick of the palsy, 
Son, be of good cheer ; thy sins be forgiven thee. 

3 = And, behold, certain of the scribes said 
within themselves, This man blasphemeth. 

4 And Jesus f knowing tiieir thoughts, said, 
Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts ? 

5 For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be 
forgiven thee : or to say. Arise, and walk ? 

6 But that ye may know that the Son of man 
hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith 
he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy 
bed, and go unto thine house. 

7 And he arose, and departed to his house. 

8 But when the multitudes saw it, they mar- 
velled, and glorified God, which had given such 
power unto men.

shew John again those things whicli ve do hear 
and see : 

5 <=The blind receive their sight, and the lame 
walk, the lepers are cleansed, and tlie deaf hear, 
the dead are raised up, and the poor have the

6 "^ And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be

7 ^ And, as they departed, Jesus began to say 
unto the multitudes concerning John, AVhat went 
ye out into the wilderness to see ? a reed shaken 
with the wind ? 

8 But what went ye out for to see ? a man 
clothed in soft raiment ? Behold, they that wear 
soft clothing are in kings' houses. 

9 f But what went ye out for to see ? A prophet ? 
yea, I say unto you, and more than a })rophet.

hold, I send my messenger before thy face, 
which shall prepare thy way before thee.

are born of women there hath not risen a greater 
than John the Baptist : notwithstanding, he that 
is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

saying. The kingdom of heaven is likened unto 
a man which sowed good seed in his field : 

25 But while men slept, his enemy came and 
sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.

brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.

in his field 

32 Which indeed is the least of all seeds : but 
when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, 
and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air 
come and lodge in the branches thereof. 

33 p Another parable spake he unto them : 
The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, 
which a woman took, and hid in three measures ^ 
of meal, till the whole was leavened. 

34 '' All these things spake Jesus unto the 
multitude in parables ; and without a parable 
spake ho not unto them : 

35 ■■ That it might be fu I filled which was spoken 
by the prophet, saying, 1 will open my mouth in 
parables ; I will utter things which have been 
kept secret from the foundation of the world. 

36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and 
went into the house : and his disciples came un- 
to him, saying. Declare unto us the parable of 
the tares of the field. 

37 He answered and said unto them, He that 
soweth the good seed is the Son of man : 

38 " The field is the world : the good seed are 
the children of the kingdom ; but the tares are 
the children of the wicked one : 

39 ' The enemy that sowed them is the devil : 
the harvest is the end of the world ; and the 
reapers are the angels. 

40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burn- 
ed in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. 

41 " The Son of man shall send forth his an- 
gels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all 
things that offend, and them which do iniquity; 

42 "" And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: 
there shall he wailing and gnashing of teeth. 

43 y Then shall the righteous shine forth as 
the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. Who 
hath ears to hear, let him hear. 

44 ^ Again : The kingdom of heaven is like un- 
to treasure hid in a field ; the which when a man 
hath found, he hidetli, and for joy thereof goeth 
and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. 

45 Again : The kingdom of heaven is like 
unto a merchant-man seeking goodly pearls : 

46 * Who, when he had found one pearl of 
great price, went and sold all that he had, and 
bought it. 

47 Again : The kingdom of heaven is like 
unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and ga- 
thered of every kind : 

48 Which, when it was full, they drew to 
shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into 
vessels, but cast the bad away. 

49 " So shall it be at the end of the world : 
the angels shall come forth, and sever the wick- 
ed from among the just, 



51 Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood 
all these things ? They say unto him. Yea. Lord. *^ ''*''*'^'*-- 

52 ■' Then said he unto them. Therefore ^'(^'^'l^- f^^ 
every scribe ivhich is instructed unto the king- 
dom of heaven, is like unto a man that is an 
householder, which bringeth forth out of his 
treasure things new and old. 

53 And it came to pass, that when Jesus had 
finished these parables, he departed thence.

11 And his head was brought in a charger, 
and given to the damsel : and she brought it to 
her mother. 

12 And his disciples came and took up the 
bod,y, and buried it, and went and told Jesus. 

13 *■ When Jesus heard of it, he departed 
thence by ship into a desert place apart : and 
when the people had heard thereof, they follow- 
ed him on foot out of the cities. 

14 H s And Jesus went forth, and saw a great 
multitude, and was moved with compassion to- 
ward them, and he healed their sick. 

15 And when it was evening, his disciples 
came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and 
the time is now past ; send the multitude away, 
that they may go into the villages, and buy 
themselves victuals. 

Ifi ''But Jesus said unto them. They need 
not depart ; give ye them to eat. 

17 And they say unto him, We have here but 
five loaves, and two fishes. 

18 He said, Bring them hither to me. 

19 ' And he commanded the multitude to sit 
down on the grass ; and took the five loaves and 
the two fishes, and, looking up to heaven, he 
blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his 
disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. 

20 And tney did all eat, and were filled : and 
they took up of the fragments that remained 
twelve baskets full, 

21 And they that had eaten were about five 
thousand men, besides women and children. 

22 1 And straightway Jesus constrained his 
disciples to get into a ship, and to go before 
him unto the other side, while he sent the mul- 
titudes away. 

23 ''And when he had sent the multitudes away, 
he went up into a mountain apart to pray : and 
when the evening was come, he was there alone. 

24 But the ship was now in the midst of the 
sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary. 

25 ' And in the fourth watch of the night Je- 
sus went unto them, walking on the sea. 

26 And when the disciples saw him walking 
on the sea, they were troubled, saying. It is a 
spirit ; and they cried out for fear. 

27 But straightway Jesus s})ake unto them, 
saying. Be of good cheer ; || it is I ; be not afraid. 

28 And Peter answered him and said. Lord, if 
it be thou, bid me come unto thee (tn the water. 

29 And he said. Come. And when Peter was 
come down out of the ship, he walked on the 
water, to go to Jesus. 

30 But when he saAV the wind boisterous, he 
was afraid; and beginning to siiik, he cried, 
saying, Lord, save me ! 

31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his 
hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O

\ -^ which were of Jerusalem, saying, 

2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradi- 
tion of the elders ? for they wash not their hands 
when they eat bread. 

3 But he answered and said unto them. Why 
do you also transgress the commandment of God 
by your tradition ? 

4 ^ For God commanded, saying, Honour 
thy father and mother : and. He that curseth 
father or mother, let him die the death. 

5 But ye say. Whosoever shall say to his fa- 
ther or his mother. It is a gift, by whatsoever 
thou mightest be profited by me ; 

6 " And honour not his father or his mother, 
he shall be free. Thus have ye made the com- 
mandment of God of none effect by your tradition. 

7 Ye hypocrites ! well did Esaias prophesy 
of you, saying, 

8 '' This people draweth nigh unto me with 
their mouth, and honoureth me witli their lips ; 
but their heart is far from me. 

9 But in vain they do \\'orship me, teaching 
for doctrines the commandments of men.

tmto them, Hear, and understarid : 

1 1 *■ Not that which goeth into the mouth de- 
fileth a man ; but that which comelh out of the 
mouth, this defileth a man. 

12 Then came his disciples, and said unto 
him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were of- 
fended, after they heard this saying ? 

13 6 But he answered and said, Every plant 
which my heavenly Father bath not planted, 
shall be rooted up.

Whom do men say that I, the Son of man, am ? 

14 s And they said. Some say that thou art 
John the Baptist ; some, Elias ; and others, Je- 
remias, or one of the prophets. 

15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye 
that I am ? 

16 ""And Simon Peter answered and said, 
Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 

17 ' And Jesus answered and said unto him, 
Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona : for flesh and 
blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my 
Father which is in heaven. 

18 ''And I say also unto thee. That thou 
art Peter ; and upon this rock I will build my 
church ; and the gates of hell shall not prevail 
against it. 

19 * And I will give unto thee the keys of the 
kingdom of heaven : and whatsoever thou shalt 

earth shall be bound in heaven ; and 
whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be 
loosed in heaven. 

20 " Then charged he his disciples, that they 
should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ. 

21 " From that time forth began Jesus to shew

CHAPTER XVII. 

1 The transfiguration of Christ : 14 He healeth the 
lunatic, ^t foretelleth his ov.n passion, 24 and payeth 
tribute. 

^ A ND after six days Jesus taketh Peter, 
-^^^ James, and John his brother, and bringeth 



i.uke9,28. them up into an high mountain, apart, 



2 ^ And was transfigured before them ; and 
his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment 
was white as the li^ht. 

3 And, behold, there appeared unto them 
Moses and Elias, talking with him. 

4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, 
Lord, it is good for us to be here : If thou wilt, 
let us make here three tabernacles : one for thee, 
and one for Moses, and one for Elias. 

5 "^ While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud 
overshadowed them : and, behold, a voice out of 
the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, 
in whom I am well pleased ; hear ye him. 

6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell 
on their face, and Avere sore afraid. 

7 "^ And Jesus came and touched them, and 
said. Arise, and be not afraid. 

8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, 
they saw no man, save Jesus only. 

9 ® And as they came down from the moun- 
tain, Jesus charged them, saying. Tell the vision 
to no man, until the Son of man be risen again 
from the dead. 

10 '^ And his disciples asked him, saying. Why 
then say the scribes that Elias must first come ? 

11 And Jesus answered and said unto them, 
Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things. 

12 ^But I say unto you. That Elias is come 
already, and they knew him not, but have done 
unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall 
also the Son of man suffer of them. 

13 Then the disciples understood that he 
spake unto them of John the Baptist. 

14 H '' And when they were come to the mul- 
titude, there came to him a certain man, kneel- 
ing down to him, and saying, 

15 Lord, have mercy on my son ; for he is 
lunatic, and sore vexed : for oft-times he falleth 
into the fire, and oft into the water. 

16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and 
they could not cure him. 

17 Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless 
and perverse generation ! how long shall I be 
with you ? how long shall I suffer you ? Bring 
him hither to me. 

1 8 And Jesus rebuked the devil, and he de- 
parted out of him : and the child was cured from 
that very hour. 

19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, 
and said. Why could not we cast him out ? 

20 'And Jesus said unto them. Because of 
your unbelief : for verily I say unto you. If ye 
have x'aith as a grain of mustard-seed, ye shall 
say unto this mountain. Remove hence to yon- 
der place ; and it shall remove ; and nothing 
shall be impossible unto you. 

21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out, but by 
prayer and fasting.

ed into the hands of men ; 

23 And they shall kill him, and the third day 
he shall be raised again. And they were ex- 
ceeding sorry. 

24 5 ' And when they were come to Caper- 
naum, they that received tribute money came to 
Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute.^ 

25 He saith. Yes. Anc^ when he was come 
into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, 
What thinkest thou, Simon ? of whom do the 
kings of tlie earth take custom or tribute ? of 
their own children, or of strangers .'' 

26 Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus 
saith unto him. Then are the children free. 

27 Notwithstanding, lest we should offend 
them, go thou to the sea, and cast an iiook, and 
take up the fish that first cometh up ; and when 
thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a 
piece of money : that take, and give unto them 
for me and thee. 

CHAPTER XVni. 

1 Christ warnetli his disciples to be humble and harm- 
less, 7 to avoid ofl'ences, and not to despise the little 
ones : 15 teacheth how we are to deal with our breth- 
ren when they offend us, 21 and how oft to fori^ive 
them ; 23 which he setteth forth by a parable of the 
king that took account of his servants, 32 and punished 
him who shewed no mercy to his fello^v. 

' \ T the same time came the disciples unto 
-'^-*- Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the 
kingdom of heaven ? 

2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, 
and set fiim in the midst of them, 

3 " And said, Verily 1 say unto you, Except ye 
be converted, and become as little children, ye 
shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. 

4 " Whosoever therefore shall humble himself 
as this little child, the same is greatest in the 
kingdom of heaven. 

5 "^ And whoso shall receive one such little 
child in my name, receiveth me. 

6 ' But whoso shall offend one of these little 
ones which believe in me, it were better for him 
tnat a millstone were hanged about his neck, and 
that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. 

7 H ^ Wo unto the world because of offences ! 
for it must needs be that offences come ; but wo 
to that man by whom the offence cometh ! 

8 s Wherefore, if thy hand or thy foot offend 
thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it 
is better for thee to emer into life halt or maim- 
ed, rather than having two hands, or two feet, 
to be cast into everlasting fire. 

9 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, 
and cast it from thee : it is better for thee to 
enter into life with one eye, rather than having 
two eyes to be cast into hell-fire. 



10 ''Take heed that ye despise not one of 
these little ones ; for I say unto you. That in 
heaven their angels do always behold the face of 
my Father which is in heaven. 

1 1 ' For the Son of man is come to save that 
which was lost. 

12 " How think ye ? If a man have an hun- 
dred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, 
doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth 
into the mountains, and seeketh that which is 
gone astray ? 

13 And if so be that he find it, verily I say 
unio you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than 
of the ninety and nine which went not astray. 

14 Even so, it is not the will of your Father 
which is in heaven that one of these little ones 
should perish. 

15 ' Moreover, if thy brother shall trespass 
against thee, go and tell him his fault between 
thee and him alone : if he shall hear thee, thou 
hast gained thy brother. 

16 "But if he will not hear thee, then take 
with thee one or two more, that in the mouth 
of two or three witnesses every word may be 
established. 

17" And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell 
It unto the church : but if he neglect to hear the 
ciiurch, let him be unto thee as an heathen man 
and a publican. 

18 " Verily I say unto you. Whatsoever ye 
shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven ; 
and u hatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be 
loosed in heaven. 

19 p Again I say unto you. That if two of you 
shall agree on earth as touching any thing that 
they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my 
Father which is in heaven. 

20 For where two or three are gathered to- 
gether in my name,there am I in the midst of them. 

21 11 'i Then came Peter to him, and said, 
Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, 
and I forgive him ? till seven times ? 

22 ■" Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, 
Until seven times ; but, Until seventy times seven. 

23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven 
likened unto a certain king, which would take 
account of his servants. 

24 And when he had begun to reckon, one 
was brought unto him which owed him ten 
thousand talents : 

2.5 ' But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his 
lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife 
and children, and all that he had, and payment 
to be made. 

26 The ser\'ant therefore fell down, and wor- 
shipped him, saying. Lord, have patience with 
me, and I will pay thee all. 

27 Then the lord of that servant was moved

with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave 
him the debt. 

28 But the same servant went out, and found 
one of his fellow-servants which owed him || an 
hundred pence ; and he laid hands on him, and 
t took him by the throat, saying. Pay me that 
thou owest. 

29 And his fellow-servant fell down at his 
feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience 
with me, and I will pay thee all. 

30 And he would not ; but went and cast him 
into prison, till he should pay the debt. 

31 So when his fellow-servants saw what 
was done, they were very sorry, and came and 
told unto their lord all that was done. 

32 Then his lord, after that he had called him, 
said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave 
thee all that debt, because thou desiredstme : 

33 Shouldest not thou also have had com- 
passion on thy fellow-servant, even as 1 had pity 
on thee ? 

34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him 
to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was 
due unto him. 

35 * So likewise shall my heavenly Father do 
also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive 
not every one his brother their trespasses. 

CHAPTER XIX. 

2 Christ healeth the sick : 3 answereth the Pharisees 
concerning divorcement : 10 sheweth when marriage 
is necessary : 13 receiveth little children : 16 in- 
structeth the young man how to attain eternal life, 21 
and how to be perfect : 23 telleth his disciples how 
hard it is for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of 
God : 27 and promiseth reward to those that forsake 
any thing to follow him. 

\ ND it came to pass, that when Jesus had 
^ -^-*- finished these sayings, he departed from 
Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judea 
beyond Jordan : 

2 And great multitudes followed him ; and 
he healed them there. 

3 The Pharisees also came unto him, tempt- 
ing him, and saying unto him. Is it lawful for a 
man to put away his wife for every cause ? 

4 ^ And he answered and said unto them, 
Have ye not read, that he which made them at 
the beginning, made them male and female ; 

5 " And said, For this cause shall a man leave 
father and mother, and shall cieave to his wife ; 
and they twain shall be one flesh ? 

6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one 
flesh. What therefore God hath joined toge- 
ther, let no man put asunder. 

7 "^ They say unto him. Why did Moses then 
command to give a writing of divorcement, and 
to put her away ? 

8 He saith unto them, Moses, because of the 
hardness of your hearts, suffered you to put 



away your wives : but from the beginning it 
was not so. 

9 " And I say unto you. Whosoever shall put 
away his wife, except it be for fornication, and 
shall marry another, committeth adultery : and 

\ whoso marrieth her which is put away doth 
commit adultery. 

10 '' His disciples say unto him. If the case of 
the man be so with /( ww ife, it is not good to marry. 

1 1 2 But he said uhto them. All men cannot re- 
/ ceive this saying, save they to whom it is given. 

12 '■ For there are some eunuchs, which were 
so born from ^Aeir mother's womb: and there are 
some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men : 
and there be eunuchs, which have made them- 
selves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. 

jj He that is able to receive it^ let him receive it. 
( 13 1' Then were there brought unto him lit- 
^ tie children, that he should put his hands on 
t them, and pray : and the disciples rebuked them.

me good ? there is none good but one, that is 
God : but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the 
commandments. 

18 "He saith unto him. Which ? Jesus said, 
\ Thou shalt do no murder. Thou shalt not com- 



mit adultery, Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt 
} not bear false witness ; 

i 19 " Honour thy father and thy mother ; and,

1 Christ rideth into Jerusalem upon an ass, 12 driveth 
the buyers and sellers out of the temple, 17 curseth 
the fig-tree, 2.3 putteth to silence the priests and el- 
ders, 28 and rebuketh them by the similitude of the 
two sons, 33 and the husbandmen who slew such as 
were sent unto them. 

ND when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, 
and were come to Bethphage, unto the 
mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples, 

2 Saying unto them, Go into the village 
over against you, and straightway ye shall find 
an ass tied, and a colt with her : loose them, 
and bring them unto me. 

3 And if any 7nan say aught unto you, ye 
shall say. The Lord hath need of them ; and 
straightway he will send them

The fig-tree cursed. 

15 And when the chief priests and scribes saw 
the wonderful things that he did, and the chil- 
dren crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna 
to the Son of David ! they were sore displeased, 

16 •• And said unto him, Hearest thou what '^p^. 8,3. 
these say ? And Jesus saith unto them. Yea : 

have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes 
and sucklings thou hast perfected praise ? 

17 ' And he left them, and went out of the ''Markii, 
city into Bethany ; and he lodged there. Joime, 15. 

18 1'' NoAV in the morni 
into the city, he hungered. 

1 9 And when he saw a fig-tree in the way, he 
came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves 
only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee 
henceforward for ever. And presently the fig- 
tree withered away. 

20 ' And when the disciples saw it, they mar- 
velled, saying. How soon is the fig-tree wither- 
ed away ! 

21 ° Jesus answered and said unto them, Ve- 
rily I say unto you. If ye have faith, and doubt i-uke n, 
not, ye shall not only do this which is done to ^"^^^ ' 
the fig-tree, but also, if ye shall say unto this

publicans and the harlots believed him : and ye 
when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, 
that ye might believe him. 

33 ' Hear another parable : There was a cer- 
tain householder, which planted a vineyard, and 
hedged it round about, and digged a wine-press 
in it, and built a tower, and let it out to hus- 
bandmen, and went into a far country : 

3-i And when the time of the fruit drcAv 
near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, 
that they might receive the fruits of it. 

35 "And the husbandmen took his servants, and 
beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. 

36 Again, he sent other servants more than 
the first : and they did unto them likewise. 

37 But last of all he sent unto them his son, 
saying. They will reverence my son. 

38 ^ But when the husbandmen saw the son, 
they said among themselves, This is the heir ; 

him, and let us seize on his in- 
heritance. 

39 y And they caught him, and cast hijn out 
of the vineyard, and slew him. 

40 When the lord, therefore, of the vmeyard 
cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen ? 

41 ' They say, unto him. He will miserably 
destroy those uicked men, and will let out his 
vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall 
render him the fruits in their seasons. 

42 ' Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read 
in the scriptures. The stone which the builders 
rejected, the same is become the head of the 
corner : tnis is the Lord's doing, and it is mar- 
vellous in our eyes ? 

43 Tlierefore say I unto you, The kingdom 
of God shall be *• taken from you, and given to 
a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. 

44 ■= And whosoever shall fall on this stone 
shall be broken : but on whomsoever it shall 
fall, it will grind him to powder. 

4.5 And nhen the chief priests and Pharisees 
had heard his parables, they perceived that he 
spake of them. 

46 But when they sought to lay hands on 
him, they frared the multitude, because they 
took him for a prophet.

Of the resurrection. 

23 H "• The same day came to him the Sad- 
ducees, which say that there is no resurrection, 
and asked him, 

24 ° Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man 
die, having no children, his brother shall marry 
his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. 

25 Now there were with us seven brethren: 
and the first, when he had married a wife, de- 
ceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto 
his brother : 

26 Likewise the second also, and the third, 
unto the seventh. 

27 And last of all the Avoman died also. 

28 Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife 
shall she be of the seven ? for they all had her. 

29 " Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye 
do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the pow- 
er of God. 

. 30 p For in the resurrection they neither mar- 
ry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the an- 
oeis of God in heaven. 

31 But as touching the resurrection of th,e 
dead, have ye not read that which was spoken 
unto you by God, saying, 

32 1 1 am the God of Abraham, and the God 
of Isaac, and the God of Jacob ? God is not the 
God of the dead, but of the living.

Against ambition and hypocrisy. 
CHAPTER XXIII. 

1 Christ admonisheth the people to follow the good doC' 
trine, not the evil examples of the scribes and Phari 
sees : 5 His disciples must beware of their ambition. 
13 He denounceth eight woes against their hj'pocrisy 
and blindness ; 34 and prophesieth of the destruction 
of Jerusalem. 

HEN spake Jesus to the multitude, and to 
his disciples, 

2 * Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit aNeh. 3,4 
in Moses' seat : 

3 All, therefore, whatsoever they bid you ob- 
serve, that observe and do ; but do not ye after 
their works : for they say, and do not. 

4 ^ For they bind heavy burdens, and griev- 
ous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoul- 
ders ; but they themselves will not move them 
with one of their fingers. 

5 " But all their works they do for to be seen cNum. 15 
of men: they make broad their phylacteries, Deut.6,8 
and enlarge the borders of their garments, a^1\^\ii 

6 ''And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, g^^^fl^ 
and the chief seats in the synagogues, Mark'12, 

7 And greetings in the markets, and to be 
called of men. Rabbi, Rabbi. 

8 " But be not ye called Rabbi : for one is 
you r Master, even C h rist ; and all ye are brethren. 

9 ''And call no OTa?i your father upon the earth: 



b Isa. 10, 1 
Luke 11, 
46. 

Acts 15, la 
Gal. 6. 13. 



33 ^ And when the multitude heard this^ they ^ for one is your Father, which is in heaven 



were astonished at his doctrine 

34 !I'But when the Pharisees had heard that 
he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were } 
gathered together. 

35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, 
asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, 

36 P/Iaster, which is the great commandment 
in tlie law ? 

37 * Jesus said unto him. Thou shalt love the 
Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all 
thy soul, and with all thy mind. 

38 This is the first and great commandment. 

39 " And the second is like unto it. Thou 
shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 

40 On these two commandments hang all the 
law and the prophets. 

41 H ^ While the Pharisees were gathered to- 
gether, Jesus asked them, 

42 Saying, What think ye of Christ ? whose 
son is he ? They say unto him. The son of David. 

43 y He saith unto them. How then doth Da- 
vid in spirit call him Lord, saying, 

44 ^ The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou 
on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy 
footstool ? 

45 If David then call him Lord, how is he 
his son ? 

46 * And no man was able to answer him a 
word ; neither durst any man, from that day 
forth, ask him any more questions.

findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What! 
could ye not watch with me one hour ? 

41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into 
temptation : the spirit indeed is willing, but the 
flesh is weak. 

42 He went away again the second time, and 
prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may 
not pass away from me except I drink it, thy 
will be done. 

43 And he came and found them asleep again: 
for their eyes were heavy. 

44 And he left them, and went away again, and 
prayed the third time, saying the same words. 

45 Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith 
unto them. Sleep on now, and take your rest: 
behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man 
is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 

46 Rise, let us be going : behold, he is at 
hand that doth betray me. 

47 '^ And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one 
of the twelve, came, and with him a great mul- 
titude with swords and staves, from the chief 
priests and elders of the people. 

48 * Now he that betrayed him gave them a 
sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same 
is he : hold him fast. 

49 ' And forthwith he came to .Jesus, and 
said, Hail, Master ; and kissed him. 

50 And Jesus said unto him, f Friend, where- 
fore art thou come ? Then came they and laid 
hands on Jesus, and took him. 

51 ^ And, behold, one of them which were 
with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his 
sword, and struck a servant of the high priest, 
and smote off his car. 

52 ^ Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again 
thy sword into his place : for all they that take 
the sword shall perish with the sword. 

53 ' Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to 
my Father, and he shall presently give me more 
than twelve legions of angels ? 

54 '' But how then shall the scriptures be ful- 
filled, that thus it must be ? 

55 In that same hour said Jesus to the multi- 
tudes, Are ye come out, as against a thief, with 
swords and staves for to take me .'' I sat daily 
with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no 
hold on me. 

56 ' But all this Avas done, that the scriptures 
of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the 
disciples forsook him, and fled. 

57 "' And they that had laid hold on Jesus 
led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where 
the scribes and the elders were assembled. 

58 But Peter followed him afar off, unto the 
high priest's palace, and went in, and sat with 
the servants to see the end. 

59 " Now the chief priests and elders, and al! 



^ the council, sought false witness against Jesus, 
' to put him to death ; 

^ 60 ° But found none : yea, though many false 
^ witnesses came, yet found they none. At the 
' last came two false witnesses, 

61 P And said. This fellow said, I am able to 
^ destroy the temple of God, and to build it in 

three days. 

62 And the high prie.st arose, and said unto 




( him, Answerest tliou nothhig; ? what is it which

64 *■ Jesus saith unto him. Thou hast said : 
nevertheless I say unto you. Hereafter shall ye 
see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of 

) power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. 

^ 65 ' Then the high priest rent his clothes, 

t saying, He hath spoken blasphemy ; "\A'hat fur- 

\ ther need have wq of witnesses ? behold, now 

\ ye have heard his blasphemy. 

^ 66 ' What think ye ? They answered and 

^ said, He is guilty of death.

were with him watching Jesus, saw the earth-

feared greatly, saying. Truly this was the

56 Among Avhich was Mary Magdalene, and 
Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the 
mother of Zebedee's children. 

57 H ^ When the even was come, there came 
a rich man of Arimathea, named Joseph, who 
also himself was Jesus' disciple : 

58 He went to Pilate, and begged the body 
of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to 
be delivered. 

59 And when Joseph had taken the body, he 
wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, 

60 ' And laid it in his own new tomb, which 
he had hewn out in the rock : and he rolled a great 
stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed. 

61 And there was Mary Magdalene, and the 
other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre. 

62 1 Now the next day, that followed the 



day of the preparation, the chief priests and 
Pharisees came together unto Pilate, 

63 ' Saying, Sir, we remember that that de- 
ceiver said, while he was yet alive. After three 
days I will rise again.

made sure until the third day, lest his disciples

the people, He is risen from the dead : so the

CHAPTER I. 

1 The office of John the Baptist. 9 Jesns is baptized, 
12 tempted : 14 He preacheth, 16 calleth Peter, An- 
drew, James, and John : 23 healeth one that had a 
devil, 29 Peter's mother-in-law, 32 many diseased 
persons : 41 and cleanseth the leper. 

^rilHE beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, 
-^ the Son of God ; 

2 "^ As it is written in the prophets. Behold, I 
send my messenger before thy face, which shall 
prepare thy way before thee. 

3 " The voice of one crying in the wilderness. 
Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his 
paths straight. 

4 "^ John did baptize in the wilderness, and 
preach the baptism of repentance for the re- 
mission of sins. 

5 ^ And there went out unto him all the land 
of Judea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all 
baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confess- 
ing their sins. 

6 ^ And John was clothed with camel's hair, 
and with a girdle of a skin about his loins ; and 
he did eat locusts and wild honey ; 

7 ^ And preached, saying. There cometh one 
mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose 
shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and 
unloose. 

8 '' I indeed have baptized you with water : 
but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost. 

9 H ' And it came to pass in those days, that 
Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was 
baptized of John in Jordan. 

10 And straightway coming up out of the wa- 
ter, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit, 
like a dove, descending upon him : 

11 •* And there came a voice from heaven, 
saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I 
am well pleased. 

12 ' And immediately the spirit driveth him 
into the wilderness. 

13 And he was there in the wilderness forty 



days, tempted of Satan ; and was with the wild 
beasts ; and the angels ministered unto him. 

14 1 ■" Now after that John was put in prison, 
Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of 
the kingdom of God, 

15 ° And saying. The time is fulfilled, and the 
kingdom of God is at hand ; repent ye, and be- 
lieve the gospel. 

16 ° Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, 
he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a 
net into the sea : for they were fishers. 

17 And Jesus said unto them. Come ye af- 
ter me, and I will make you to become fishers 
of men. 

1 8 p And straightway they forsook their nets, 
and followed him. 

19 And when he had gone a little farther 
thence, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and 
John his brother, who also were in the ship 
mending their nets. 

20 And straightway he called them : and they 
left their father Zebedee in the ship with the 
hired servants, and went after him. 

21 H 1 And they went into Capernaum : and 
straightway on the sabbath-day he entered into 
the synagogue, and taught. 

22 ''And they were astonished at his doctrine : 
for he taught them as one that had authority, and 
not as the scribes. 

23 ' And there was in their synagogue a man 
with an unclean spirit ; and he cried out, 

24 * Saying, Let us alone ; what have we to 
do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth ? art thou 
come to destroy us ? 1 know thee who thou art, 
the Holy One of God. 

23 " And Jesus rebuked him, saying. Hold 
thy peace, and come out of him. 

26 And when the unclean spirit had torn 
him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out 
of him. 

27 And they were all amazed, insomuch that 
they questioned among themselves, saying,,

28 And immediately his fame spread abroad

30 But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a

left her, and she ministered unto them. t

3 Hearken ; .Behold, there went out a sower 
to sow : 

4 And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell 
by the way-side, and the fowls of the air came

had not much earth ; and immediately it sprang 
up, because it had no depth of earth :

grew up and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.

yield fruit that sprang up and increased, and

gladness ;

29 But when the fruit is brought forth, imme- 
diately he putteth in the sickle, because the har- 
vest is come. 

30 1 And he said, Whereunto shall we liken 
the kingdom of God ? or with what comparison 
shall we compare it ? 

31 It is like a grain of mustard-seed, which, 
when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the 
seeds that be in the earth :

becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth

he the word unto them, as they were able to 
hear it. 

34 But without a parable spake he not unto 
them : and when they were alone, he expound- 
ed all things to his disciples. 

35 1 ' And the same day, when the even was 
come, he saith unto them. Let us pass over unto 
the other side. 

36 And when they had sent away the multi- 
tude, they took him even as he was in the ship. 
And there were also with him other little ships. 

37 ^ And there arose a great storm of wind, 
and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was 
now full. 

38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, 
asleep on a pillow : and they awake him, and 
say unto him. Master, carest thou not that 
we perish.? 

39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and 
said unto the sea. Peace, be still. And the Avind 
ceased, and there was a great calm. 

40 And he said unto them. Why are ye so 
fearful ? how is it that yc have no faith ? 

41 *And they feared exceednigly, and said 
one to another. What manner of man is this, 
that even the wind and the sea obey him ?

no man could bind him, no, not with chains:

himself with stones. 

6 But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran 
and worshipped him, 

7 '^ And cried with a loud voice, and said. 
What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of 
the most high God ? 1 adjure thee by God, that 
thou torment me not. 

8 (For he said unto him, Come out of the 
man, thou unclean spirit.) 

9 And he asked him. What is thy name ? And 
he answered, saying. My name is Legion : for 
we are many. 

10 And he besought him much that he would 
not send them away out of the country. 

1 1 Now there was there, nigh unto the moun- 
tains, a great herd of swine feeding. 

12 And all the devils besought him, saying, 
Send us into the swine, that we may enter into 
them. 

13 And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. 
And the unclean spirits went out, and entered 
into the swine : and the herd ran violently down 

I a steep place into the sea, (they were about two 

' thousand,) and were choked in the sea.

24 And Jesus went with him ; and much peo- 
ple followed him, and thronged him. 

25 ' And a certain woman, which had an 
issue of blood twelve years, 

26 And had suffered many thuigs of many 
physicians, and had spent all that she had, and 
was nothmg bettered, but rather grew worse, 

27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the 
press behind, and touched his garment : 

28 For she said. If I may touch but his 
clothes, I shall be whole. 

29 And straightway the fountain of her blood 
was dried up ; and she felt in her body that she 
was healed of that plague. 

30 "^ And Jesus, immediately knowing in him- 
self that virtue had gone out of him, turned 
him about in the press, and said. Who touched 
my clothes ? 

31 And his disciples said unto him. Thou 
seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest 
thou, Who touched me ? 

32 And he looked round about to see her that 
had done this thing. 

33 But the woman fearing and trembling, 
knowing what was done in her, came and fell 
down before him, and told him all the truth. 

34 'And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith 
t hath made thee whole ; go in peace, and be 
whole of thy plague. 

35 ■" While he yet spake, there came from the 
ruler of the synagogue's house certain which 
said. Thy daughter is dead : why troublest thou 
the Master any further ? 

36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was 
spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue. 
Be not afraid, onh' believe. 

37 And he suffered no man to follow him, save 
Peter, and James, and John the brother of James. 

38 " And he cometh to the house of the ruler 
of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and 
them that wept and wailed greatly. 

39 ° And when he w as come in, he saith unto 
them, Why make ye this ado, and weep ? the 
damsel is not dead, but sleepeth. 

40 pAnd they laughed him to scorn. But when 
he had put them all out, he taKeth the father and 
the mother of the damsel, and them that were with 
him, and enterethin where the damsel was lying. 

41 And he took the damsel by the hand, and 
said unto her, Talitha cumi : which is, being in- 
terpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise. 

42 And straightway the damsel arose and 
walked ; for she. was o/" i/ie age of twelve years. 
And they were astonished with a great asto- 
nishment. 

43 <> And he charged them straitly that no 
man should know it; and commanded that 
something should be given her to eat.

follow him. 

2 ^ And when the sabbath-day was come, he 
began to teach in the synagogue : and many 
hearing him were astonished, saying. From 
whence hath this man these things ? and what 
wisdom wthis which is given unto him, that even 
such mighty works are wrought by his hands ? 

3 *= Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, 
the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, 
and Simon ? And are not his sisters here with 
us ? And they were offended at him. 

4 '^ But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not 
without honour, but in his own country, and 
among his own kin, and in his OAvn house. 

5 'And he could there do no mighty work, 
save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, 
and healed them. 

6 *■ And he marvelled because of their unbelief. 
And he went round about the villages teaching. 

I \^ And he calleth unto him the twelve, and 
began to send them forth by two and two ; and 
gave them power over unclean spirits ; 

8 '■ And commanded them that they should 
take nothing for //((-//• journey, save a staff only ; 
no scrip, no bread, no money in their purse : 

9 ' But be shod w ith sandals ; and not put on

that were sick, where they heard he was.

CHAPTER Vn. 

1 The Pharisees find fault with the disciples, for eating 
with unwashen hands. 8 They break the command- 
ment of God by the traditions of men. 14 Meat defileth 
not the man : 24 He healeth the Syrophenician wo- 
man's daughter of an unclean spirit, 31 and one that 
was deaf and stammered in his speech. 

" nn HEN came together unto him the Phari- 
-^ sees, and certain of the scribes, which 
came from Jerusalem. 

2 And v\ hen they saw some of his disciples 
eat bread with defiled, (that is to say, with un- 
washen) hands, they found fault. 

3 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, ex- 
cept they wash their hands f oft, eat not, hold- 
ing the tradition of the elders. 

4 '' And ivhen they come from the market, ex- 
cept they wash ihey eat not. And many other 
things there be which they have received to 
hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen 
vessels, and of tables. 

5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him. 
Why walk not thy disciples according to the 
tradition of the elders, but eat bread with un- 
washen hands ? 

6 •= He answered and said unto them, Well 
hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it 
is written, This people honoureth me with their 
lips, but their heart is far from me. 

7 "^ Howbeit, in vain do they worship me, teach- 
ing^or doctrines the commandments of men. 

8 For laying aside the commandment of 
God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the wash- 
ing of pots and cups : and many other such like 
things ye do. 

9 And he said unto them, || Full well ye re- 
ject the commandment of God, that ye may 
keep your own tradition. 

10 " For Moses said, Honour thy father and 
thy mother ; and, AVhoso curseth father or mo- 
ther, let him die the death : 

1 1 But ye say. If a man shall say to his father 
or mother. It is \\ Corban, that is to say, a gift, 
by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by 
me ; he shall be free. 

12 And ye suffer him no more to do aught 
for his father or his mother ;

unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me fo.^'

into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, 
purging all meats ? 

20 ' And he said, That which cometh out of 1 Jamess.c, 
the man, that defileth the man. 

21 "For from within, out of the heart of '"^en.e, 
men. proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornica- pVov.bTii 
tions, murders, ' ^ mt.idja 

22 Thefis, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, 
lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, 
foolishness : 

23 All these evil ihings come from within, 
and defile the man. 

24 II " And from thence he arose, and went ^,**3'- '^' 
into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered ~ 

into an house, and would have no man know it : 
but he could not be hid. 

25 For a cer/om woman, whose young daugh- 
ter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and 
came and fell at his feet. 

26 The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician 
by nation : and she besought him that he would 
cast forth the devil out of her daughter. 

27 " But Jesus said unto her. Let the children °Mat 15, 
first be filled : for it is not meet to take the chil- 
dren's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs. 

28 And she answered and said unto him. Yes, 
Lord : yet the dogs under the table eat of the 
children's crumbs. 

29 And he said unto her. For this saying go 
thy way ; the devil is gone out of thy daughter. 

30 And when she was come to her house, she 
found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid 
upon the bed. 

31 H p And again, departing from the coasts of p Mat. 15 , 
Tyre and Sidon, he came unto the sea of Galilee, 
through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.

it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake 
and the gospel's, the same shall save it.

gain the whole world, and lose his own soul ?

CHAPTER IX. 

2 Jesus is transfigured. 1 1 He instructeth his disciples 
concerning the coming of Eiias : 14 casteth forth a 
dumb and deaf spirit : 30 foretelleth his death and re- 
surrection : 33 exhorteth his disciples to humility : 
38 bidding them not to prohibit such as be not against 
tliem, nor to give ofifence to any of the faithful. 

* \ ND he said unto them. Verily I say unto 
-^-*- you. That there be some of them that 

stand here which shall not taste of death, till they 

have seen the kingdom of God come with power. 

2 H '' And after six days Jesus taketh uith him 
Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them 
up into an hiirh mountain apart by themselves : 
and he was transfigured before them. 

3 *= And his raiment became shining, exceed- 
ing white as siipw ; so as no fuller on earth can 
white them. * 

4 "^ And there appeared unto them Elias with 
Moses ; and they were talking with Jesus. 

5 And Peter answered and said to Jesus, 
Master, it is good for us to be here : and let us 
make three tabernacles ; one for thee, and one 
for Moses, and one foi Elias. 

6 For he wist not what to say ; for they were ! 
sore afraid. 

7 * And there was a cloud that overshadowed 
them : and a voice came out of the cloud, say.- ; 
ing. This is my beloved Son ; hear him. < 

8 And suddenly, when they had looked round 
about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus - 
only with themselves. 

9 ' And as they came down from the moun- 
tain, he charged them that they should tell no 
man what things they had seen, till the Son of 
man were risen from the dead. 

10 And they kept that saying with themselves, 
questioning one with another what the rising 
Irom the dead should mean.

1 7 ' And one of the multitude answered and 
said. Master, I have brought unto thee my son, 
which hath a dumb spirit : 

18 And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth 
him ; and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, 
and pineth away : and I spake to thy disciples 
that they should cast him out; and they could not. 

19 He answereth him and saith, O faithless 
generation ! how long shall I be with you ? how 
long shall I suffer you ? Bring him unto me. 

20 "And they brought him unto him: and rach.1,26 
when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare 

him ; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed 
foaming. 

21 And he asked his father. How long; is it a^o 
since this came unto him ? And he said, Of a child : 

22 And oft-times it hath cast him into the 
fire, and into the waters, to destroy him : but if 
thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, 
and help us.

charge thee, come out of him, and enter no 

more into him. 

26 And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, 
and came out of him : and he was as one dead ; 
insomuch that many said. He is dead.

him up ; and he arose.

his disciples asked him privately, Why could not 

we cast him out .''

come forth by nothing but by prayer and fasting,

were afraid to ask him.

in the house, he asked them. What was it that 
ye disputed among yourselves by the way ? 

34 But they held their peace : for by the way 
they had disputed among themselves who shovM

be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant 
of all.

midst of them : and when he had taken him in 
his arms, he said unto them, 

37 " Whosoever shall receive one of such 
children in my name, receiveth me : and whoso- 
ever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him 
that sent me. 

38 1[ ^ And John answered him, saying. Mas- 
ter, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, 
and he followeth not us : and we forbad him, 
because he followeth not us. 

39 But Jesus said. Forbid him not : for there 
is no man v/hich shall do a miracle in my name 
that can lightly speak evil of me. 

40 y For he that is not against us is on our part. 

41 ^ For whosoever shall give you a cup of 
water to drink in my name, because ye belong 
to Christ, verily I say unto you, He shall not 
lose his reward. 

42 ^ And whosoever shall offend one of these 
little ones that believe in me, it is better for him 
that a millstone were hanged about his neck, 
and he were cast into the sea. 

43 ^ And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: 
it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, 
than having two hands to go into hell, into the 
fire that never shall be quenched ; 

44 " Where their worm dieth not, and the fire 
is not quenched. 

45 And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off : it is 
better for thee to entef halt into life, than hav-

CHAPTER X. 

2 Christ dispnteth with the Pharisees touching divorce- 
ment : 13 blesseth the children that are brought unto 
him : 17 rcsolveth a rich man how he may inherit life 
everlasting: 23 telleth his disciples of the danger of 
riches : 28 promiseth rewards to them that forsake 
any thing for the gospel : 32 foretelleth his death and 
resurrection : 35 biddeth the two ambitious suitors to 
think rather of suffering with him : 46 and restoreth 
to Bartimeus his sight. 

ND he arose from thence, and cometh into a Mat. 19, 
the coasts of Judea by the farther side of Luke 4, 17. 
Jordan : and the people resort unto him a^ 
and, as he was wont, he taught them again. 

2 And the Pharisees came to him, and asked 
him. Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife ? 
tempting him. 

3 And he answered and said unto them, 
What did Moses command you ? 

4 ^ And they said, Moses suffered to write a b Deut. 24, 
bill of divorcement, and to put her away. 

5 And Jesus answered and said unto them. 
For the hardness of your heart he wrote you 
this precept :

CHAPTER XI. 

1 Christ rideth with triumph into Jprnsalem : ]2curseth 
the fruitless fig-tree : 15 purgeth the temple : 20 ex- 
horteth his disciples to steadfastness of faith, and to 
forgive their enemies : 27 and defendeth the lawful- 
ness of his actions, by thQ witness of John, who was 
a man sent of God. 

^ A ^fD when they came nigh to Jerusalem, 
-^ unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the 

mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his 

disciples, 

2 And saith unto them, Go your way in- 
to the village over against you : and as soon 
as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt 
tied, whereon never man sat ; loose him, and 
bring him. 

3 And if any man say unto you. Why do ye 
this ? say ye that the Lord hath need of him ; 
and straightway he will send him hither. 

4 And they went their way, and found the 
colt tied by the door without, f in a place where 
two ways met ; and they loose him. 

5 And certain of them that stood there said 
unto them, What do ye loosing the colt ? 

6 And they said unto them even as Jesus had 
commanded : and they let them go. 

7 ^ And they brought the colt to Jesus, and 
cast their garments on him ; and he sat up- 
on him. 

8 And many spread their garments in the 
way ; and others cut down branches off the 
trees, and strewed them in the way. 

9 •= And they that went before, and they that 
followed, cried, saying, Hosanna ; Blessed is 
he that comeih in the name of the Lord : 

10 
vid, tftat Cometh m 
Hosanna in the highest. 

11 '' And J esus entered into Jerusalem, and into 
the temple : and when he had looked round about 
upon all things, and now the even-tide was come, 
he went out unto Bethany with the twelve. 

12 ® And on the morrow, when they were 
come from Bethany, he was hungry : 

13 And seeing a fig-tree afar off, having leaves, 
he came, if haply he might find any thing there- 
on : and when he came to it, he found nothing 
but leaves ; for the time of figs was not yet. 

14 And Jesus answered and said unto it. No 
man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And 
his disciples heard it. 

15 ' And they come to Jerusalem : and Jesus 
went into the temple, and began to cast out them 
that sold and bought in the temple, and over- 
threw the tables of the money-changers, and 
the seats of them that sold doves ; 

16 And would not suffer that any man should 
carry any vessel through the temple. 



Blessed be the kingdom of our father Da- 
that Cometh in the name of the Lord : 



17 sAnd he taught, saying unto them, Is it 
not written. My house shall be called of all na- 
tions the house of prayer ? but ye have made it 
a den of thieves. 

1 8 '' And the scribes and chief priests heard 
it, and sought ho\v they might destroy him : for 
they feared him, because all the people was 
astonished at his doctrine. 

1 9 ' And when even was come, he went out 
of the city. 

20 ^ And in the morning, as they passed 
by, they saw the fig-tree dried up from the 
roots. 

21 * And Peter calling to remembrance, saith 
unto him, Master, behold, the fig-tree which 
thou cursedst is withered away ! 

22 And Jesus answering saith* unto them, 
Have faith in God. 

23 ■" For verily I say unto you, That whoso- 
ever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou re- 
moved, and be thou cast into the sea ; and shall 
not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that 
those things which he saith shall come to pass ; 
he shall have whatsoever he saith. 

24 " Therefore I say unto you. What things 
soever ye desire when ye pray, believe that ye 
receive them, and ye shall have them. 

25. "And when ye stand praying, forgive, 
if ye have aught against any ; that your Fa- 
ther also which is in heaven may forgive you 
your trespasses. 

26 But if you do not forgive, neither will 
your Father which is in heaven forgive your 
trespasses. ■ 

27 !I p And they come again to Jerusalem : 
and as he was walking in the temple, there 
come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, 
and the elders, 

28 1 And say unto him. By what authority 
doest thou these things ? and who gave thee this 
authority to do these things ? 

29 And Jesus answered and said unto them, 
I will also ask of you one question, and answer 
me, and I will tell you by what authority I do 
these things. 

30 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, 
or of men ? answer me. 

31 ' And they reasoned with themselves, say- 
ing. If we shall say, From heaven ; he will say, 
Why then did ye not believe him ? 

32 ' But if we shall say. Of men ; they feared 
the people : for all men counted John that he 
was a prophet indeed. 

33 And they answered and said unto Jesus, 
We cannot tell. And Jesus answering saith 
unto them. Neither do I tell you bv what au- 
thority I do these things.

1 In a parable of the vineyard let out to unthankful hus- 
bandmen, Christ foretelleth the reprobation of the Jews, 
and the calling of the Gentiles. 13 He avoideth the 
snare of the Pharisees and Herodians about paying tri- 
bute to Cesar : 18 convinceth the error of the Saddu- 
cees, who denied the resurrection, 28 resolveth the 
scribe, who questioned of the first commandment : 35 
refuteth the opinion that the scribes held of Christ : 38 
bidding the people to beware of their ambition and hy- 
pocrisy : 41 and coramendeth the poor widow for her 
two mites above all.

jer'.2"2T.li and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for 

the wine-fat, and built a tower, and let it out to 

husbandmen, and went into a far country. 

2 And at the season he sent to the husbandmen 
a servant, that he might receive from the hus- 
bandmen of the fruit of the vineyard. 

3 ^ And they caught him, and beat him, and 
sent him away empty. 

4 And again he sent unto them another servant ; 
and at him they cast stones, and wounded Imn in 
the head, and sent him away shamefully handled. 

5 And again he sent another ; and him they 
killed, and many others ; beating some, and 
killing some. 

6 Having yet therefore one son, his well-be- 
loved, he sent him also last unto them, saying. 
They \\ ill reverence my son. 

7 "^ But those husbandmen said among them- 
selves. This is the lieir ; come, let us kill him, 

the inheritance shall be ours.

they marvelled at him. 

18 'Then come unto him the Sadducees, ^.g^^'- 22, 
which say there is no resurrection ; and they Luke 20, 
asked him, saying, Acts 23. a 

19 " Master, Moses wrote unto us. If a man's f ^*"- ^^' 
brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and L)eut.25,5 
leave no children, that his brother should take 

his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. 

20 Now there were seven brethren : and the 
first took a wife, and dying left no seed. 

21 And the second took her, and died ; neither 
left he any seed : and the third likewise. 

22 And the seven had her, and left no seed : 
last of all the woman died also. 

23 In the resurrection therefore, when they 
shall rise, whose wife shall site be of them ? for 
the seven had her to wife. 

24 ° And Jesus answering said unto them. Do ^•'"'^" -O- 
ye not therefore err, because ye kno^v not the 
scriptures, neither the power of God ? 

25 ° For when they shall rise from the dead, 
they neither marry nor are given in marriage ; 
but are as the angels which are in heaven. 

26 P And as touching; the dead, that thev rise; v Gen. 17,

heard them reasoning together, and perceiving Luke 10,23. 
that he had answered them well, asked him,

CHAPTER XHL 

1 Christ foretelleth the destruction of the temple : 9 the 
persecutions for tlie gospel : 10 that the gospel must 
be preached to all nations : 14 that great calamities 
shall happen to the Jews : 24 and the manner of his 
coming to judgment : 32 the hour whereof being known 
to none, every man is to watch and pray, that we be 
not found unprovided, when he cometh to each one 
particularly by death. 

^ A ND as he went out of the temple, one of his 
-^-»- disciples saith unto him. Master, see what 

manner of stones and what buildings are here ! 
bi Kingso, 2 ^ And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest 
.ier.26, 18. thou thcsc grcat buildings ? there shall not be 
Lukei'gilt: left one stone upon another, that shall not be 

thrown down.

Luke 21, 5. 



5 ** And Jesus answering them, began to say, 
Take heed lest any man deceive you : 

6 •■ For many shall come in my name, saying, 
I am Christ ; and shall deceive many. 

7 And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours 
of wars, be ye not troubled : for such things 
must needs be ; but the end shall not be yet. 

8 s For nation shall rise against nation, and 
kingdom against kingdom ; and iherc shall -be 
earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be 
famines and troubles : these are the beginnings 
of sorrows. 

9 '' But take heed to yourselves : for they 
shall deliver you up to councils ; and in the 
synagogues ye shall be beaten : and yc shall be 
brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for 
a testimony against them. 

10 ' And the gospel must first be published 
among all nations. 

11'' But when they shall lead you, and deliver 
you up, take no thought beforehand what ye 
shall speak, neither do ye premeditate ; but what- 
soever shall be given you in that hour, that speak 
ye : for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost. 

12 ' Now the brother shall betray the bro- 
ther to death, and the father the son ; and chil- 
dren shall rise up against their parents, and shall 
cause them to be put to death. 

13 " And ye shall be hated of all men for my 
name's sake : but he that shall endure unto the 
end, the same shall be saved. 

14 "But when ye shall see the abomination of 
desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, 
standing where it ought not, (let him that read- 
eth understand,) then let them that be in Judea 
flee to the mountains : 

13 And let him that is on the house-top not go 
down into the house, neither enter therein, lo 
take any thing out of his house : 

16 And let him that is in the field not turn 
back again for to take, up his garment. 

17 ° But wo to them that are with child, and 
to them that give suck, in those days ! 

1 8 And pray ye that your flight be not in the 
winter. 

19 p For in those days shall be affliction, such 
as was not from the beginning of the creation 
which God created,unto this timc,neither shall be. 

20 And except that the Lord had shortened 
those days, no flesh should be saved : but for 
the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath 
shortened the days. 

21 1 And then if any man shall say to you, 
Lo, here is Christ ; or, lo, he is there ; believe 
him not : 

22 •■ For false chrsts and false prophets shall 
tise, a-iid shall shew signs and wonders, to se- 
duce, if it icere possible, even the elect.

given thanks, he gave it to them 
drank of it. 

24 And he said unto them, This is my blood 
of the new testament, which is shed for many. 

25 ™ Verily I say unto you, I will drink no 
more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that 
I drink it new in the kingdom of God. 

26 " And when they had sung an hymn, they 
went out into the mount of Olives. 

27 ° And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall 
be offended because of me this night : for it is 
written, I will smite the Shepherd, and the 
sheep shall be scattered. 

28 p But after that I am risen, I will go before ( 
you into Galilee. 

29 1 But Peter said unto him, Although all 
shall be offended, yet idll not I. 

30 "^ And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say un- 
to thee, That this day, even in this night, before 
the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. 

31 'But he spake the more vehemently, If I 
should die with thee, I will not deny thee in 
any wise. Likewise <dso said they all. 

32 II * And they came to a place which was 
named Gethsemane : and he saith to his disci- 
ples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray. 

33 And he taketh with him Peter and James 
and John, and began to be sore amazed, and to 
be very heavy ; 

34 "And saith unto them. My soul is exceeding 
sorrowful unto death : tarry ye here, and watch. 

35 ^ And he went forward a little, and fell on 
the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, 
the hour might pass from him. 

3Q y And he said, Abba, Father, all things are 
possible unto thee ; take away this cup from me : 
nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt. 

37 ^ And he cometh, and findeth them sleep- 
ing, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou ? 
couldest not thou watch one hour ? 

38 ' Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into 
temptation. The spirit truly is read}^, but the 
flesh is weak. 

39 And again he went away, and prayed, and 
spake the same words. 

40 And when he returned, he found them 
asleep again : for their eyes were heavy : nei- 
ther wist they what to answer him. 

41 And lie cometh the third time, and saith 
unto them. Sleep on noAV, and take your rest : it 
is enough, the hour is come : behold, the Son of 
man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 

42 Rise up let us go ; lo, he that betrayeth 
me is at hand, 

43 ^ And immediately, while he yet spake, 



cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him 
a great multitude with swords and staves, from 
the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. 

44 And he that betrayed him had given them 
a token, saying. Whomsoever [ shall kiss, that 
same is he : take him, and lead him away 
safely. 

45 " And as soon as he was come, he goeth 
straightway to him, and saith, f Master, master ; 
and kissed him. 

46 And they laid their hands on him, and 
took him. 

47 And one of them that stood by drew a 
sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, 
and cut off his ear. 

48 And Jesus answered and said unto them. 
Are ye come out, as against a thief, with swords 
and ivith staves to take me ? 

49 '' I was daily with you in the temple teach- 
ing, and ye took me not : but the scriptures must 
be fulfilled. 

50 ^ And they all forsook him, and fled. 

51 And there followed him a certain young 
man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked 
body ; and the young men laid hold on him : 

52 And he left the linen cloth, and fled from 
them naked. 

53 1 ^ And they led Jesus away to the high 
priest : and with him were assembled all the 
chief priests and the elders and the scribes. 

54 And Peter followed him afar off, even into 
the palace of the high priest : and he sat with 
the servants, and warmed himself at the fire. 

55 £ And the chief priests and all the council 
sought for witness against Jesus to put him to 
death ; and found none. 

oQ For many bare false witness against him, 
but their witness agreed not together. 

J 57 And there arose certain, and bare false wit- 

\ ness against him, saying, 

J 58 *■ We heard him say, I will destroy this tem- 

^ pie that is made with hands, and within three 
days I will build another made without hands. 

59 But neither so did their witness agree to- 
gether. 

60 ' And the high priest stood up in the midst, 
and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? 
what is it which these witness against thee ? 

61 ^ But he held his peace, and answered 
nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and 
said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of 
the Blessed ? 

62 ' And Jesus said, I am : and ye shall see 
the Son of man sitting on the right hand of 
power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. 

63 Then the high priest rent his clothes, and 
saith. What need we any further M'itnesses ?

65 "" And some began to spit on him, and to 
cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say un- 
to him, Prophesy : and the servants did strike 
him with the palms of their hands. 

Q'o ^° And as Peter was beneath in the palace, 
there cometh one of the maids of the high priest: 

67 And when she saw Peter warming himself, 
she looked upon him, and said, And thou also 
wast with Jesus of Nazareth. 

68 But he denied, saying, I know not, neither 
understand I what thou sayest. And he went 
out into the porch ; and the cock crew. 

69 ° And a maid saw him again, and began to 
say to them that stood by. This is one of them. 

70 And he denied it again. And a little after, 
they that stood by said again to Peter, Surely 
thou art one of them : for thou art a Galilean, 
and thy speech agreeth thereto. 

71 But he began to curse and to swear, say- 
ing, I know not this man of whom ye speak. 

72 ^ And the second time the cock crew. 
And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus 
said unto him. Before the cock crow twice thou 
shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought 
thereon, he wept.

Upon the clamour of the common people, the murder- 
er Barabbas is loosed, and Jesus delivered up to be 
crucified. 17 He is crowned with thorns, 19 spit on 
and mocked: 21 fainteth in bearing his cross: 27 
hangeth between two thieves: 29 suffereth the tri- 
umphing re[)roaches of the Jews : 39 but confessed by 
the centurion to be the Son of God : 43 and is honour- 
ably buried by Joseph. 

* A ND straightway in the morning the chief 
-^^ priests held a consultation with the elders 
and scribes and the whole council, and bound 
Jesus, and carried 1dm away, and delivered lam 
to Pilate. 

2 '' And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King 
of the Jews .'' And he answering said unto him, 
Thou sayest it. 

3 And the chief priests accused him of many 
but he answered nothing. 

4 •= And Pilate asked him again, saying, An- 
Johni9,io. swerest thou nothing ? behold how many things 

they witness against thee. 

5 But Jesus yet answered nothing ; so that 
Pilate marvelled. 

6 '' Now at that feast he released unto them 
one prisoner, whomsoever they desired. 

7 * And there was one, named Barabbas, 
which lay bound with them that had made in- 
surrection with him, who had committed mur- 
der in the insurrection. 

8 And the multitude, crying aloud, began to

9 But Pilate answered them, saying. Will ye 
that I release unto you the King of the Jews ? 

10 For he knew that the chief priests had 
delivered him for envy. 

1 1 ' But the chief priests moved the people, 
that he should rather release Barabbas unto them. 

12 And Pilate answered and said again unto 
them. What will ye then that I shall do unto kirn ^"^^ ^' ^'*- 
whom ye call the King of the Jews ? 

13 And they cried out again. Crucify him. 

14 Then Pilate said unto them. Why, what 
evil hath he done ? And they cried out the more 
exceedingly, Crucify him. 

15 s And so Pilate, willing to content the peo- fg'^**-^^' 
pie, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Joim 19, 1. 
Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified. 

16 *" And the soldiers led him away into the ^^^^-^i 
hall called Pretorium ; and they call together the John 19, 1. 

j whole band. 

J 17 And they clothed him with purple, and plat- 
> ted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head; 
\ 18 And began to salute him. Hail, King of 
the Jews ! 

19 ' And they smote him on the head with a jviat'2^r?'67 
reed, and did spit upon him, and, bowing their &i27, 29. 
knees, worshipped him. 

20 And when they had mocked him, they 
took off the purple from him, and put his own 
clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him. 

21 ''And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, ^^'^^■^'^' 
who passed by, coming out of the country, the fa- Luke 23, 
therof Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross. Jolinig,!?, 

22 ' And they bring him unto the place Gol- 1 Mat. 27,

a scull. 7^\r^" 

23 ^ And they gave him to drink wine mingled u\ ^^ 69» 
with myrrh : but he received it not. John 19,28. 

24 " And when they had crucified him, they l^^l^'l^- 
parted his garments, casting lots upon them, Luke 23,34! 
what every man should take. •'°''° '^'^• 

25 " And it was the third hour ; and they cru- ° ^at. 27, 
cified him. 

26 p And the superscription of his accusa- 
tion was written over, THE KING OF THE 
JEWS. 

27 And with him they crucify two thieves; ^g'^^*-^^^ 
the one on his right hand, and the other on his left. Luke23,32. 

28 'And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, "• isa.53,12. 

I'll Luke 22 3*^ 

And he was numbered with the transgressors. ' " 

29 "And they that passed by railed on him, sPs.22, a.

that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in ^^\4^5l^ 
three days, johns^'?!' 

30 Save thyself, and come down fiom the cross. ° " ' 

31 Likewise also the chief priests, mocking, 
said among themselves with the scribes, He 
saved others ; himself he cannot save.

32 Let Christ the King of Israel descend now 
from the cross, that we may see and believe. And 
they that were crucified with him reviled him. 

33 'And when the sixth hour was come, 
there was darkness over the whole land until the 
ninth hour. 

34 " And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a 
loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachtha- 
ni ? which is, being interpreted, My God, my 
God, why hast thou forsaken me ? 

35 '^ And some of them that stood by, when 
they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias. 

36 y And one ran and filled a spunge full of 
vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to 
drink, saying. Let alone ; let us see whether 
Elias will come to take him down. 

37 ^ And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and 
gave up the ghost. 

38 * And the veil of the temple was rent in 
twain from the top to the bottom. 

39 ^ And when the centurion, which stood 
over against him, saw that he so cried out, and 
gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was 
the Son of God. 

40 *= There were also women looking on afar 
off; among whom was Mary Magdalene, and 
Mary the mother of James the less, and of Joses, 
and Salome ; 

41 '^(Who also, when he was in Galilee, 
followed him, and ministered unto him;) and 
many other women which came up with him 
unto Jerusalem. 

42 IT ® And now when the even was come, be- 
cause it was the preparation, that is, the day be- 
fore the sabbath, 

43 Joseph of Arimathea, an honourable coun- 
sellor, which also waited for the kingdom of 
God, came and went in boldly unto Pilate, and 
craved the body of Jesus. 

44 And Pilate marvelled if he were already 
dead ; and calling wnto him the centurion, he ask- 
ed him whether he had been any while dead. 

45 And when he knew it of the centurion, he 
gave the body to Joseph. 

46 'And he bought fine linen, and took him 
down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him 
in a sepulchre which was hewnoutof a rock, and 
rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre. 

47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary tlie mo- 
ther of Joses beheld where he was laid. 

CHAPTER XVI. 

1 An aiigel declareth the resurrection of Christ to three 
women. 9 Christ himself appeareth to Mary Magda- 
lene : 12 to two going into the country : 14 then to the 
apostles, 15 whom he sendeth forth to preach the gos- 
pel : 19 and ascendeth into heaven. 

\ ND when the sabbath Avas past, Mary 
-^^ Magdalene, and Mary the 



mother of 



James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, 
that they might come and anoint him. 

2 ^ And very early in the morning, the first 
day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre 
at the rising of the sun. 

3 And they said among themselves, Who 
shall roll us away the stone from the door of the 
sepulchre ? 

4 And when they looked, they saw that the 
stone was rolled away : for it was very great. 

5 *= And entering into the sepulchre, they saw 
a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in 
a long white garment ; and they were affrighted. 

6 '' And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted. 
Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified : 
he is risen ; he is not here : behold the place 
wheie they laid him. 

7 *= But go your way, tell his disciples and 
Peter that he goeth before ycu into Galilee : 
there shall ye see him, as he said unto you. 

8 f And they went out quickly, and fled from 
the sepulchre ; for they trembled and were ama- 
zed : neither said they any thing to any man : 
for they were afraid. 

9 H 8 Now when Jesus was risen early the first 
day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Mag- 
dalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils. 

10 ^' And she went and told them that had 
been with him, as they mourned and wept. 

1 1 And they, when they had heard that he was 
alive, and had been seen of her, believed not. 

12 'After that he appeared in another form 
unto two of them, as they walked, and went 
into the country. 

13 And they went and told it unto the resi- 
due ; neither believed they them. 

14 '' Afterward he appeared unto the eleven 
as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with 
their unbelief and hardness of heart, because 
they believed not them which had seen him 
after he was risen. 

15 ' And he said unto them. Go ye into all the 
world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 

16 "^ He that believethand is baptized shall be 
saved ; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 

17 " And these signs shall follow them that 
believe : In my name shall they cast out devils ; 
they shall speak with new tongues ; 

1 8 ° They shall take up serpents ; and if 
they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt 
them ; they shall lay hands on the sick, and 
they shall recover. 

19 p So then after the Lord had spoken unto 
them, he was received up into heaven, and sat 
on the right hand of God. 

20 ^ And they went forth, and preached every- 
where, the Lord working with them, and con- 
firming the word with signs following. Amen.

CHAPTER I. 

1 The preface of Luke to his whole gospel. 5 The 
conception of John the Baptist, 26 and of Christ. 39 
The prophecy of Elisabeth, and of Mary, concerning 
Christ. 57 The nativity and circumcision of John. 
67 The prophecy of Zacharias both of Christ, 76 and 
of John. 

""OORASMUCH as many have taken in 
-■- hand to set forth in order a declaration 
of those things which are most surely believed 
among us, 

2 *• Even as they delivered them unto us, 
which from the beginning were eye-witnesses, 
and ministers of the word ; 

3 *= It seemed good to me also, having had 
peri*ect understanding of all things from the 
very first, to \\Y\ie unto thee in order, most ex- 
cellent Tlieophilus, 

4 That thou mightest know the certainty of 
those things wherein thou hast been instructed. 

5 '' ^ INHERE was, in the days of Herod 

-*- the king of Judoa, a certain priest 
named Zacharias, of the course of Abia : and 
his wife icus of the daughters of Aaron, and her 
name was Elisabeth. 

6 ^ And they were both righteous before 
God, walking in all the commandments and or- 
dinances of the Lord blameless. 

7 •" And they had no cliild, because that Eli- 
sabeth was barren, and they both were now 
well stricken in years. 

8 And it came to pass, that while he execu- 
ted the priest's office before God in the order 
of his course, 

9 ^ According to the custom of the priest's 
office, his lot was to burn incense when he went \ 
into the temple of the Lord. ! 

10 And the whole multitude of the people \ 
were praying without at the time of incense. | 

11 "^ And there appeared unto him an angel | 
of the Lord, standing on the right side of the 
altar of incense. 

12 ' And when Zacharias saw him, he was 
troubled, and fear fell upon him. 

13 "But the angel said unto him. Fear not, 
Zacharias : for thy prayer is heard ; and thy 
wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou 
shalt call his name John. 

14 'And thou shalt have joy and gladness; 
and many shall rejoice at his birth. 

15 ■" For he shall be great in the sight of the 
Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong 
drink ; and he shall be filled with the Holy 
Ghost, even from his mother's womb. 

1 6 ° And many of the children of Israel shall 
he turn to the Lord their God. 

\1 ° And he shall go before him in the spirit 



and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fa- ^ccouVt"^ 
thers to the children, and the disobedient to the "iicd 
wisdom of the just ; to make ready a people mM°he'' 
prepared for the Lord. ''"'^^ ^^^'' 

18 p And Zacharias said unto the angel, j^^^^lf^ 
Whereby shall I know this ? for I am an old s. & n, 17. 
man, and my wife well stricken in years. 

19 "J And the angel answering, said unto him, 5g^|^"9''2jj| 
I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of Mat. is, 10 
God ; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to *^ • > • 
shew thee these glad tidings. 

20 ' And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not J^po"- is» 
able to speak, until the day that these things shall 

be performed, because thou believest not my 
words, which shall be fulfilled in their season. 

21 And the people waited for Zacharias, and 
marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple. 

22 And when he came out, he could not speak 
unto them : and they perceived that he had seen 
a vision in the temple ; for he beckoned unto 
them, and remained speechless. 

23 And it came to pass, that, as soon as the 
days of his ministration were accomplished, he 
departed to his own house. 

24 And after those days his wife Elisabeth 
conceived, and hid herself five months, saying, 

25 ' Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the Ig^cn. 30, 
days wherein he looked on me, to take away my isa. 1, 1 & 
reproach among men. S'l, 1. 4. 

26 H And in the sixth month the angel Ga- 
briel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, ,.,.,,„ 
named JNazareth, chap. 2,4. 

27 'To a virgin espoused to a man whose u.'hl^ik 
name was Joseph, of the house of David; and ^"sM'^" 
the virgin's name was Mary. ^^'ses so. 

28 " And the angel came in unto her, and said, 2Tim.4,22. 
Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is l^iT,'l't 
with thee : blessed art thou among women. ^9, 4. 

29 And when she saw him, she was troubled ss. 

at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner luat.'l',^'. 
of salutation this sho^dd be. tis^m^' 

30 =' And the angel said unto her. Fear not, '2. 
Mary ; for thou hast found favour with God. isa. 9, 6. & 

31 y And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy f'^-^^^ 
womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his Amos 9, 11.

32 ^ He shall be great, and shall be called the & 89^37 &

33 * And he shall reign over the house of jer.23,5. 
Jacob for ever ; and of his kingdom there shall ^ 7" f^ 27 
be no end. Micah 4, 7 

34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How L^*"' '^' 
shall this be, seeing I know not a man ? ^ J2 2^" 

So "And the angel answered and said unto her, ^^•^> 
The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the Mat. 1,20

power of the Highest shall overshadow thee ; 
therefore also that holy thing which shall be 
born of thee shall be called the Son of God. 

SQ x\nd, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she 
hath also conceived a son in her old age : and 
this is the sixth month with her who was 
called barren. 

37 •= For with God nothing shall be impossible. 

38 And Mar}^ said, Behold the handmaid of

Ma^t^il'le -^"^ ^''^ angel departed from her. 

39 IE And Mary arose in those days, and 
went into the hill country with haste, into a 
city of Juda ; 

40 And entered into the house of Zacha- 
rias, and saluted Elisabeth. 

41 And it came to pass, that, when Elisa- 
beth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe 
leaped in her womb ; and Elisabeth was filled 
with the Holy Ghost : 

42 " And she spake out with a loud voice, 
and said, Blessed art thou among women ; and

they called him Zacharias, after the name of ^"GeTrT'

so ; but he shall be called John.

of thy kindred that is called by this name. 

62 And they made signs to his father, how 
he would have him called. 

6S And he asked for a writing-table, and 
wrote, saying, His name is John. And they 
marvelled all. ' 

64 And his mouth was opened immedi- 
ately, and his tongue loosed, and he spake, 
and praised God. 

65 And fear came on all that dwelt round 
about them : and all these sayings were noised 
abroad throughout all the hill country of Judea :

CHAPTER II. 

] Augustus taxeth all the. Roman empire. 6 The nativi- 
ty of Christ. 8 An angel relateth it to the shepherds : 
13 Many sing praises to God for it. 21 Christ is cir- 
cumcised. 22 Mary purified. 28 Simeon and Anna 
prophesy of Christ : 40 who increaseth in wisdom, 46 
questioneth in the temple with the doctors, 61 and is 
obedient to his parents. 

AND it came to pass in those days, that there 
went out a decree from Cesar Augustus, 
that all the world should be taxed. 

2 (And this taxing was first made when Cy- 
renius was governor of Syria.) 

3 And all went to be taxed, every one into 
his own city. 

4 * And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out 
of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, unto the city 
of David, which is called Bethlehem, (because 
he was of the house and lineage of David,) 

6 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, 
being great with child. 

6 And so it was, that, while they were there, 
the days Wt^re accompli.shed that she should be 
delivered. 

7 ^ And she brought forth her first-born son, 
and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid 
him in a manger ; because there was no room 
for them in the inn. 

8 And there were in the same country shep- 
herds abiding in the || field, keeping watch over 
their flock by night. 

9 ' And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon 
them, and the glory of the Lord shone round 
about them ; and they were sore afraid. 

10 "^ And the angel said unto them. Fear not : 
for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great 
joy, which shall be to all people. 

1 1 "= For unto you is born this day, ir. the city 
of David, a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. 

12 And this shall be a sign unto you ; Ye shall 
find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, ly- 
ing in a manger. 

13 ' And suddenly there was with the angel 
a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, 
and saying, 

14 "^ Glory to God in the highest, and on 
earth peace, good will towards men. 

15 And it came to pass, as the angels were 
gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds 
said one to another. Let us now go even unto 
Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to 
pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. 

16 And they came with haste, and found Ma- 
ry and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. 

17 And when they had seen it, they made 
known abroad the saying which was told them 
concerning this child. 

18 And all they that heard it wondered at those 
things whicli were told them by the shepherds. 



19 •■ But Mary kept all these things, and 
pondered them in her heart. 

20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying 
and praising God for all the things that they 
had heard and seen, as it was told unto them. 

21 H ' And when eight days were accomplish- 
ed for the circumcising of the child, his name 
was called JESUS, which was so named of the 
angel before he was conceived in the womb. 

22 ^ And when the days of her purification 
according to the law of Moses were accomplish- 
ed, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present 
him to the Lord ; 

23 ' (As it is written in the law of the Lord, 
Every male that openeth the womb shall be 
called holy to the Lord ;) 

24 ■" And to offer a sacrifice according to that 
which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of 
turtle-doves, or two young pigeons. 

25 ° And, behold, there was a man in Jerusa- 
lem, whose name was Simeon ; and the same man 
wa5 just and devout, waiting for the consolation 
of Israel : and the Holy Ghost was upon him. 

26 "And it was revealed unto him by the Holy 
Ghost, that he should not see death before he 
had seen the Lord's Christ. 

27 And he came by the Spirit into the temple : 
and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, 
to do for him after the custom of the law, 

28 Then took he him up in his arms, and 
blessed God, and said, 

29 p Lord, now lettest thou thy servant de- 
part in peace, according to thy word : 

30 1 For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, 

31 Which thou hast prepared before the face 
of all people ; 

32 ' A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the 
glory of thy people Israel. 

33 And Joseph and his mother marvelled at 
those things which were spoken of him. 

34 • And Simeon blessed them, and said -into 
Mary his mother. Behold, this child is set for 
the fall and rising again of many in Israel ; and 
for a sign which shall be spoken against ; 

35 * (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy 
own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts 
may be revealed. 

36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the 
daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser ; she 
was of a great age, and had lived with an hus- 
band seven years from her virginity ; 

37 " And she ivas a widow of about fourscore 
and four years, which departed not from the 
temple, but served God with fastings and prayers 
night and day. 

38 And she coming in that instant, gave thanks 
likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all 
them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.

39 And when they had performed all things 
according to the law of the Lord, they returned 
into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth. 

40 H ^ And the child grew, and waxed strong 
II in spirit, filled with wisdom : and the grace of 
God was upon him. 

41 ^ Now his parents went to Jerusalem every 
year at the feast of the passover. 

42 And when he was twelve years old, they 
went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast. 

43 And when they had fulfilled the days, as 
they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in 
Jerusalem ; and Joseph and his mother knew 
not of it. 

44 But they, supposing him to have been in the 
company, went a day 's journey ; and they sought 
him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance. 

45 And when they found him not, they turn- 
ed back again to Jerusalem, seeking him. 

46 And it came to pass, that after three days 
they found him in the temple, sitting in the 
midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and 
asking them questions. 

47 ^ And all that heard him were astonished 
at his understanding and answers. 

48 And when they saw him, they were amaz- 
ed : and his mother said unto him. Son, why 
hast thou thus dealt with us ? behold, thy father 
and I have sought thee sorrowing. 

49 * And he said unto them. How is it that ye 
sought me ? wist ye not that I must be about 
my Father's business ? 

.50 ^ And they understood not the saying 
which he spake unto them. 

51 •= And he went down with them, and came 
to Nazareth, and was subject unto them : but his 
mother k pt all these sayings in her heart. 

52 '^ And Jesus increased in wisdom and sta- 
ture, and in favour with God and man. 

CHAPTER m. 

1 The preaching and baptism of John. 15 His testimony 
oi" Christ. 20 Herod imprisoneth John. 21 Christ , 
baptized, receiveth testimony from heaven. 23 The J 
age and genealogy of Christ from Joseph upwards. 

NOW in the fifteenth year of the reign of 
Tiberius Cesar, Pontius Pilate being go- 
vernor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of 
Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Itu- 
rea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Ly- 
sanias the tetrarch of Abilene, • 

2 ^ Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, 
the word of God came unto John the son of 
Zacharias in the wilderness. 

3 '' And he came into all the country about 
Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance 
for the remission of sins ; 

4 ' As it is written in the book of the words of 
Esaias the prophet, saying. The voice of one 



crying in the wilderness. Prepare ye the way of 
the Lord, make his paths straight. 

5 Every valley shall be filled, and every 
mountain and hill shall be brought low ; and the 
crooked shall be made straight, and the rough 
ways shall be made smooth ; 

6 "^ And all flesh shall see the salvation of 
God. 

7 ^ Then said he to the multitude that came 
forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vi- 
pers ! who hath warned you to flee from the 
wrath to come ? 

8 '' Bring forth, therefore, fruits worthy of re- 
pentance ; and begin not to say within your- 
selves. We have Abraham to our father : for I 
say unto you. That God is able of these stones 
to raise up children unto Abraham. 

9 s And now also the axe is laid unto the root 
of the trees : every tree, therefore, which bring- 
eth not forth good fruit, is hewn down, and cast 
into the fire. 

10 •" And the people asked him, saying. What 
shall we do then ? 

11 ' He answereth and saith unto them. He 
that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath 
none ; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise. 

12 "^ Then came also publicans to be baptized, 
and said unto him. Master, what shall we do ? 

13 ' And he said unto them, Exact no more 
than that which is appointed you. 

14 "And the soldiers likewise demanded of 
him, saying, And what shall we do ? And he said 
unto them, Do violence to no man, neither ac- 
cuse any falsely ; and be content with your wages. 

15 And as the people were in expectation, 
and all men mused in their hearts of John, whe- 
ther he were the Christ or not ; 

16 " John answered, saying unto them all, I 
indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier 
than I Cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am 
not worthy to unloose : he shall baptize you with 
the Holy Ghost and with fire : 

17 "Whose fan M in his hand, and he will 
throughly purge his floor, and will gather the 
wheat into his garner ; but the chafl'he will burn 
with fire unquenchable. 

18 And many other things, in his exhortation, 
preached he unto the people. 

19 p But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved 
by him for Herodias his brother Philip's wife, 
and for all the evils which Herod had done, 

20 Added yet this above all, that he shut up 
John in prison. 

21 H <i Now when all the people were baptiz- 
ed, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptiz- 
ed, and praying, the heaven was opened, 

22 ' And the Holy Ghost descended in a bo- 
dily shape like a dove upon him ; and a voice

is delivered unto me ; and to whomsoever I will 
I give it.

be thine.

" A ^^ ^^ came to pass on the second sabbath 
-^ after the first, that he went through the 

corn fields ; and his disciples plucked the 

ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their 

hands. 
bExod.2o, 2 ^ And cjrtain of the Pharisees said unto 
&,3i, 15. h them, Why do ye that which is not lawful to do 
^^'^" on the sabbath-days ? 

3 " And Jesus answering them said. Have 
ye not read so much as this, what David did, 
when himself was an hungered, and they which 
were with him ; 

4 "^ How he went into the house of God, and 
did take and eat the shew-bread, and gave also 
to them that were with him ; which it is not 
lawful to eat, but for the priests alone ? 

5 ^ And he said unto them, That the Son of 
man is Lord also of the sabbath. 

6 T[ ' And it came to pass also on another 
sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and 
taught ; and there was a man whose right hand 
was withered. 

7 And the scribes and Pharisees Avatched him, 
whether he would heal on the sabbath-day, that 
they might find an accusation against him. 

8 ^But he knew their thoughts, and said to 
the man which had the withered hand. Rise 
up, and stand forth in the midst. And he 
arose and stood forth. 

9 Then said Jesus unto them, I Avill ask 
you one thing ; Is it lawful on the sabbath- 
days to do good, or to do evil ? to save life, or 
to destroy it f ^ 

10 '' And looking round about upon them all, j 
he said unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand, f

Anno 
DOMINI 
1 Christ findeth a greater faith in the centurion a Gen- 31. 

tile, than in any of the Jews ; 10 healeth his servant v-^-v-x^ 

heing absent ; 1 1 raiseth from death the widow's son 

at Nain ; 19 answereth John's messengers with the 

declaration of his miracles ; 24 testitieth to the people 

what opinion he held of John ; 30 inveigheth against 

the Jews, who with neither the manners of John nor 

of Jesus could be won ; 36 and sheweth by occasion of 

Mary Magdalene, how he is a friend to sinners, not to 

maintain them in sins, but to forgive them their siijs 

upon their faith and repentance. 

IVrOW when he had ended all his sayings in 
-L ^ the audience of the people, he entered in- 
to Capernaum. 

2 ^ And a certain centurion's servant, who 
was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die. 

3 And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto 
him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that 
he would come and heal his servant. 

4 And when they came to Jesus, they be- 
sought him instantly, saying, That he was wor- 
thy for whom he should do this : 

5 For he loveth our nation, and he hath built 
us a synagogue. 

6 Then Jesus went with them. And when 
he was now not far from the house, the centu- 
rion sent friends to him, saying unto him. Lord, 
trouble not thyself; for I am not worthy that 
thou shouldest enter under my roof: 

7 Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy 
to come unto thee : but say in a word, and my 
servant shall be healed. 

8 For I also am a man set under authority, hav- 
ing under me soldiers: andlsayuntoone. Go, and 
he goetli ; and to another, Come, and he conieth; 
and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. 

9 When Jesus heard these things, he marvel- 
led at him, and turned him about, and said unto 
the people that followed him, I say unto you, I 
have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. 

10 And they that were sent, returning to 
the house, found the servant whole that had 
been sick. 

11 H And it came to pass the day after, that 
he went into a city called Nain ; and many of 
his disciples went with him, and much people. 

12 Now when he came nigh to the gate of the 
city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, 
the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: 
and much people of the city was with her. 

13 And when the Lord saw her, he had com-» 
passion on her, and said unto her. Weep not. 

14 '' And he came and touched *he bier : and 
they that bare him stood still. And he said, 
Young man, I say unto thee, Arise. 

15 And he that was dead sat up, and began ch.1,65

17 And this rumour of him went forth

18 H '^ And the disciples of John shewed him 
of all these things. 

19 ^ And John calling wito him two of Ids 
disciples, sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou

20 When the men were come unto him, they 
said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, say-

21 And in that same hour he cured many of 
their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits ; 
and unto many that were blind he gave sight.

! Go your way, and tell John what 
have seen and heard ; how that the blind see, 

I the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf 
hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel 
is preach; d. 

23 And blessed is /le, whosoever shall not be 
offended in me. 

24 ^ And when the messengers of John were 
departed, he began to speak unto the people con- 
cerning John, What went ye out into the wilder- 
ness for to see ? A reed shaken with the wind r 

25 ^ But what went ye out for to see ? A man 
clothed in soft raiment ? Behold, they which are 
gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are 
in kings' courts. 

26 ' But what went ye out for to see ? A pro- 
phet ? Yea, 1 say unto you, and much more than 
a prophet. 

27 ^ This is he of whom it is written. Behold, 
I send my messenger before thy face, which 
shall prepare thy way before thee. 

28 ' For I say unto you, Among those that 
are born of women there is not a greater pro- 
phet than John the Baptist : but he that is least 
j in the kingdom of God is greater than he. 

29 "■ And all the people that heard Aim, and 
the publicans, justified God, being baptized with 
the baptism of John. 

30 " But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected 
the counsel of God against themselves, being not 
baptized of him. 

31 " And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall 
1 liken the men of this generation ? and to what 
are they like ? 

32 They are like unto children sitting in the 
market-place, and calling one to another, and 
saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have 
not danced ; we have mourned to you, and ye 
'nave not wept. 

33 p For John the Baptist came neither eat- 



ing bread nor drinking wine ; and ye say. He 
hath a devil. 

34 The Son of man is come eating and drink- 
ing; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, 
and a wine-bibber, a friend of publicans and 
sinners ! 

Qb But Wisdom is justified of all her chil- 
dren. 

36 H 1 And one of the Pharisees desired him 
that he would eat with him. And he went into 
the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat. 

37 And, behold, a woman in the city, which 
was a sinner, wheii she knew that Jesut> sat at 
meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabas- 
ter-box of ointment, 

38 And stood at his feet behind him weeping, 
and began to wash his feet with tears, and did 
wipeJ//.em with the hairs of her head, and kissed 
his feet, and anointed them with the ointment. 

39 ■■ Now when the Pharisee which had bid- 
den him saw it, he spake within himself, saying. 
This man, if he were a prophet, would have 
known who and what manner of woman this is 
that toucheth him ; for she is a sinner. 

40 And Jesus answering said unto him, Si- 
mon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And 
he saith. Master, say on. 

41 There was a certain creditor which had 
two debtors : the one owed five hundred pence, 
and the other fifty : 

42 And when they had nothing to pay, he 
frankly forgave them both. Tell me, therefore, 
which of them will love him most ? 

43 Simon answered and said, I suppose that 
he to whom he forgave most. And he said unto 
him. Thou hast rightly judged. 

44 And he turned to the woman, and said un- 
to Simon, Seest thou this woman ? I entered 
into thine house, thou gavest me no water for 
my feet : but she hath washed my feet with tears, 
and wiped them with the hairs of her head. 

45 Thou gavest me no kiss : but this woman, 
since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss 
my feet. 

46 Mine head with oil thou didst not anoint: 
but this woman hath anointed my feet with 
ointment. 

47 Wherefore, I say unto thee. Her sins, 
which are many, are forgiven; for she lov^ed 
much : but to whom little is forgiven, the same 
loveth little. 

48 ' And he said unto her. Thy sins are for- 
given. 

49 * And they that sat at meat with him be- 
gan to say within themselves, Who is this that 
forgiveth sins also ? 

50 " And he said to the woman, Thy faith 
hath saved thee ; go in peace.

1 Women minister unto Christ of their substance. 4 
Christ, after he had preached from place to place, at- 
tended with his apostles, propoundeth the parable of 
the bower, 16 and of the candle ; 21 declareth who are 
his mother, and brethren ; 22 rebuketh the winds ; 26' 
casteth the legion of devils out of the man into the herd 
of swine ; 37 is rejected of the Gadarenes ; 43 healeth 
the woman of her bloody issue ; 49 and raiseth from 
death Jairus's daughter. 

ND it came to pass afterward, that he went 
throughout every city and village, preach- 
ing and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom 
of God : and the twelve were with him, 

2 * And certain women which had been heal- 
ed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called 
Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils, 

3 And Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod's 
steward, and Susanna, and many others which 
ministered unto him of their substance. 

4 " And when much people were gathered to- 
gether, and were come to him out of every city, 
he spake by a parable : 

5 A sower went out to sow his seed : and as he 
sowed, some fell by the way-side ; and it was trod- 
den do«n, and the fowls of the air devoured it. 

6 And some fell upon a rock ; and as soon as 
it was sprung up, it withered away, because it 
lacked moisture. 

7 And some fell among thorns ; and the thorns 
sprang up with it, and choked it. 

8 And other fell on good ground, and sprang 
up, and bare fruit an hundred fold. And when 
he had said these things, he cried, He that hath 
ears to hear, let him hear. 

9 "^ And his disciples asked him, saying, What 
iviark4, 10. might this parable be ? 

10 ''And he said, Unto you it is given to know 
the mysteries of the kingdom of God : but to 
others in parables ; that seeing they might not 
see, and hearing they might not understand. 

1 1 * Now the parable is this : The seed is the \ 
word of God. ' \ 

12 Those by the way-side are they that hear ; \ 
then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word 
out of their hearts, lest they should believe and 
be saved. 

13 ' They on the rock are they, which, when 
they hear, receive the Avord with joy ; and these 
have no root, which for a while believe, and in 
time of tein[)tation fall away. 

14 ^ And that which fell among thorns are they, 

., -. which, when they have heard, go forth, and are ^ 

d..'i8,*24. choked with cares and riches and pleasures of f

side of the lake. And they launched forth. 

23 But as they sailed he fell asleep : and there 
came down a storm of wind on the lake ; and 
they were filled ivith luater, and were in jeopardy. 

24 And they came to him, and awoke him, 
saying. Master, master, we perish ! Tiien he 
rose, and rebuked the wind and the raging 
of the water : and they ceased, and there was 
a calm. 

23 ° And he said unto them. Where is your 
faith ? And they, being afraid, wondered, saying 
one to another. What manner of man is this.? 89,9.&io7; 
for he commandeth even the winds and water, 
and they obey him. 

26 H P And they arrived at the country of the ^g'^'**-^' 
Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee. Mark5,i. 

27 And Avlien he went forth to land, there met 
him out of the city a certain man which had 
devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither 
abode in any house, but in the tombs. 

28 1 When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell ^p^'j^|^^ 
down before him, and with a loud voice said, Jude'e' 
What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of 

God most high ? 1 beseech thee torment me not. 

29 (For he had commanded the unclean spirit 
to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had 
caught him: and he was kept bound with chains 
and in fetters ; and he brake the bands, and was 
driven of the devil into the wilderness.) 

30 And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy 
name ? And he said, || Legion : because many 
devils were entered into him.

sought him that he would suffer them to enter 
into them : and he suffered them. 

33 Then went the devils out of the man, 
and entered into the swine : and the herd ran 
violently down a steep place into the lake, and 
were choked. 

34 When they that fed them saw what was 
done, they fled, and went and told it in the city 
and in the country. 

35 Then they went out to see what Avas done ; 
and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of 
Avhom the devils were departed, sitting at the 
feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind : 
and they were afraid. 

36 They also which saw it told them by what 
means he that was possessed of the devils was 
healed. 

37 ' Then the whole multitude of the country 
of the Gadarenes round about besought him to 
depart from them ; for they were taken with 
great fear : and he went up into the ship, and 
returned back again. 

38 ^ Now the man out of whom the devils 
were departed besought him that he might be 
with him : but Jesus sent him away, saying, 

39 Return to thine own house, and shew how 
great things God hath done unto thee. And he 
went his way, and published throughout "the 
whole city how great things Jesus had done 
unto him. 

40 H And it came to pass, that, when Jesus 
was returned, the people gladly received him : 
for they were all waiting for him. 

41 * And, behold, there came a man named 
Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue : and 
he fell down at Jesus' feet, and besought him 
that he would come into his house : 

42 For he had one only daughter, about 
twelve years of age, and she lay a-dying. (But 
as he went, the people thronged him. 

43 " And a woman having an issue of blood 
twelve years, which had spent all her living up- 
on physicians, neither could be healed of any, 

44 Came behind Jiim, and touched the border 
of his garment : and immediately her issue of 
blood stanched. 

45 And Jesus said, Who touched me ? When 
all denied, Peter, and they that were with him, 
said. Master, the multitude throng thee and 
press thee, and sayest thou. Who touched me ? 

46 And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched 
me : for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me. 

47 And when the woman saw that she was 
not hid, she came trembling, and, falling down 
before him, she declared unto him beCore all the 
people for what cause she had touched him, and 
how she was healed immediately. 

48 And he said unto her. Daughter, be of

go in peace.) 

49 ^ While he yet spake, there cometh one 
from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying 35^**^ ^' 
to him, Thy daughter is dead; troubled not the 
Master. 

50 But when Jesus heard it, he answered 
him, saying, Fear not : believe only, and she 
shall be made whole. 

51 And when he came into the house, he 
suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and 
James, and John, and the father and the mother 
01 the maiden. 

52 y And all wept, and bewailed her : but he y ^e"- ^3, 
said, Weep not ; she is not dead, but sleepeth. T Sam. 25, 

53 And they laughed him to scorn, knowing 
that she was dead. 

. 54 And he put them all out, and took her by 
* the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise. 

55 ^ And her spirit came again, and she arose ^ \°^"^^^ 
straightway : and he commanded to give her meat. 

56 And her parents were astonished ; but he 
charged them that they should tell no man what 
was done.

get victuals : for we are here in a desert place.

eat. And they said, We have no more but five 
loaves and two fishes ; except we should go and 
buy meat for all this people.

28 H ^ And it came to pass about an eight days ^ ^^^- ^''^ 
after these sayings, he took Peter and John and Mark 9, 2. 
James, and went up into a mountain to pray. 

29 And as he prayed, the fashion of his coun- 
tenance was altered, and his raiment ivas white 
and glistering. 

30 And, behold, there talked with him two 
men, which were Moses and Elias : 

31 Who appeared in glory, and spake of his 

t decease, which he should accomplish at Jeru- < f^'-- going 

1 ^ forth,

32 y But Peter and they that were with him y^Oan- 8, 
were heavy with sleep : and when thc-y were "' ' 
awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that, 
stood with him. 

33 And it came to pass, as they departed from 
him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for 
us to be here : and let us make three tabernacles ; 
one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for 
Elias : not knowing what he said. 

34 While he thus spake, there came a cloud, 

and overshadowed them: and they feared || as li That is, 
they entered into the cloud. Etws.

saying. This is my beloved Son : hear him. rsai.42, 1.

out, saying. Master, I beseech thee, look upon i^.

denly crieth out ; and it teareth him that he 
foameth again ; and, bruising him, hardly de- 
parteth from him. 

40 And I besought thy disciples to cast him 
out ; and they could not. 

41 And Jesus answering said, O faithless and 
perverse generation I how long shall I be with 
you, and suffer you ? Bring thy son hither. 

42 And as he was yet a coming, the devil 
threw him down, and tare him. And Jesus re- 
buked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, 
and delivered him again to his father.

44 ^ Let these sayings sink down into your 
ears : for the Son of man shall be delivered into 
the hands of men. 

45 ''But they understood not this saying, and 
it was hid from them, that they perceived it not : 
and they feared to ask him of that saying. 

46 H '^ Then there arose a reasoning among 
them, which of them should be greatest. 

47 And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their 
heart, took a child, and set him by him, 

48 " And said unto them, Whosoever shall re- 
ceive this child in my name receiveth me ; and 
whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that 
sent me : for he tliat is least among you all, the 
same shall be great. 

49 ^ And John answered and said, Mas- 
ter, we saw one casting out devils in thy name ; 
and we forbad him, because he follov/eth not 
with us. 

50 s And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him 
not : for he tliat is not against us is for us. 

51 "^ And it came to pass, when the time v/as 
come that he should be received up, he f sted- 
fastly set his face to go to Jerusalem, 

52 And sent messengers before his face : and 
they went, and entered into a village of the Sa- 
maritans, to make ready for him. 

53 ' And they did not receive him, because 
his face was as though he would go to Jeru- 
salem. 

54 ^ And when his disciples, James and John, 
saw this,t\\ey said, Lord, wilt thou that we com- 
mand fire to come down from heaven, and con- 
sume them, even as Elias did ? 

55 But he turned and rebuked them, and 
said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye 
are of 

56 ' For the Son of man is not come to de- 
stroy men's lives, but to save them. And they 
went to another village. 

57 H •" And it came to pass, that, as they went 
in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, 
I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. 

58 And Jesus said unto him. Foxes have 
holes, and birds of the air have nests ; but the 
Son of man hath not where to lay his head. 

59 " And he said unto another. Follow me. 
But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and 
bury my father. 

CO Jesus said unto him. Let the dead bury 
their dead ; but go thou and preach the king- 
doin of God. 

61 ° And another also said, Lord, I will fol- 
low thee , but let me first go bid them fare- 
well which are at home at my house, 

62 And Jesus said unto him. No man having 
put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is 
fit for the kingdom of God.

18 ° And he said unto them, 1. beheld Satan 
as lightnino; fall from heaven. 

19 ° Behold, I give unto you power to tread 
on serpents and scorpions, and over all the pow- 
er of the enemy : and nothing shall by any 
means hurt you. 

20 p Notwithstanding, in this rejoice not, that 
the spirits are subject unto you ; but rather re- 
joice, because your names are written in heaven. 

21 H 1 1n that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, 
and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of hea- 
ven and earth, that thou hast hid these things 
from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed 
them unto babes : even so. Father ; for so it 
seemed good in thy sight. 

22 ' All things are delivered to me of my Fa- 
ther : and no man knoweth who the Son is, but 
the Father ; and who the Father is, but the Son, 
and he to whom the Son will reveal him. 

23 ' And he turned him unto his disciples, 
and said privately, Blessed are the eyes wiiich 
see the thbigs tliat ye .^ce : 

24 For 1 tell you, that many prophets and 
kings have desired to see those things which ye 
see, and have not seen them ; and to hear those 
things which ye hear, and have not heard them. 

25 II ' And, behold, a certain lawyer stood 
up, and tempted him, saying. Master, what shall 
1 do to inherit eternal life .'* 

26 He said unto him. What is written in the 
law ? how readest thou ? 

27 " And he answering said. Thou shalt love 
the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with 
all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with 
all thy mind ; and thy neighbour as thyself. 

28 ^ And he said unto him. Thou hast an- 
swered right : this do, and thou shalt live. 

29 ^ But he, willing to justify himself, said 
unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour ? 

30 And Jesus answering said, A certain man 
went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell 
among thieves, which stripped him of his rai- 
ment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving 
him half dead. 

31 '■ And by chance there came down a cer- 
tain priest that way : and when he saw him, he 
passed by on the other side. 

32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the 
place, came and looked on him, and passed by 
on the other side. 

33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, 
came where he was : and when he saw him, he 
had compassion on him, 

34 And went to hitn, and bound up his 
wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on 
his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and 
took care of him. 

35 " And on the morrow, when he departed, 



J he took out two pence, and gave them to the 

^ host, and said unto him, Tal-^ cars of him ; and 

^ whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come 

( again I will repay thee. 

/ 36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, 

} was neighbour unto him that fell among the 

' thieves.? 

^ 37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on 

\ him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do 

f thou likewise. 

J 38 H '' Now it came to pass, as they went, 

j that he entered into a certain village : and a 

} certain woman named Martha received him into 




her house. 

39 " And she had a sister caied Mary, which 
also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.

serving, and came to him and said. Lord, dost

41 And Jesus answered and said unto her 
Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled 
about many things : 

42 But one thing is needful : and Mary hath 
chosen that good part, which shall not be taken 
away from her. 

CHAPTER XL 

1 Christ teacheth to pray, and that instantly: 11 assuring 
that God so will give us good things. 14 He, casting- 
out a dumb devil, rcbuketh the blasphemous Phari- 
sees : 28 and sheweth who are blessed : 29 preacheth 
to the people : 37 and reprehendeth the outward shew 
of holiness in the Pharisees, scribes, and lawyers. 
\ ND it came to pass, that as he was praying 
-^-*- in a certain place, when he ceased, one of 
his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to 
pray, as John also taught his disciples. 

2 'And he said unto them. When ye pray, say, 
Our Father which art in heaven. Hallowed be 
thy name : Thy kingdom come : Thy will be 
done, as in heaven, so in earth. 

3 '' Give us day by day our daily bread. 

4 ' And forgive us our sins ; for we also for- 
give every one that is indebted to us : And lead 
us not hito temptation ; but deliver us from evil. 

5 ''And he said unto them. Which of you shall 
have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, 
and say unto him. Friend, lend me three loaves; 

6 For a friend of mine in his journey is come 
to me, and I have nothing to set before him ? 

7 And he from within shall answer and say, 
j Trouble me not ; the door is now shut, and my 



children are with me in bed ; I cannot rise and 
give thee. 

8 I say unto you. Though he will not rise aud 
give him because he is his friend, yet because of 
his t importunity he will rise and give him as

1 Christ preacheth to his disciples to avoid hypocrisy 
and fearfulness in publishing his doctrine : 13 uarneth 
the people to heware of covetousness, by the parable 
of the rich man who set up greater barns. 22 We 
must not be over-careful of earthly things ; 31 but 
seek the kingdom of God, 33 give alms ; 36 be ready 
at a knock to open to O'jr Lord whensoever he cometh. 
4 1 Christ's ministers are to see to their charge, 49 and 
look for persecution. 54 The people must take this 
time of grace ; 58 because it is a fearful thing to die 
without reconciliation. 

*XN the mean time, when there were gathered ^ 
-'- together an innumerable multitude of peo- ^ 
pie, insomuch that they trode one upon another, } 
he began to say unto his discijiles first of all, J 
Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which J 
is hypocrisy. ^ 

2 " For there is nothing covered that shall not ^ 
be revealed ; neither hid, that shall not be known, f 

3 Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in ^

which ye have spoken in the ear, in closets, <>

24 p Consider the ravens : for they neither 
sow nor reap ; which neither have storehouse 
nor barn ; and God feedeth them. How much 
more are ye better than the fowls ? 

25 1 And which of you with taking thought 
can add to his stature one cubit ? 

26 Jf ye then be not able to do that thing 
which is least, why take ye thought for tiie 
rest ? 

27 Consider the lilies how they grow ; they 
toil not, they spin not : and yet I say unto you. 
That Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed 
like one of these. 

28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is 
to-day in the field, and to-morrow is cast into 
the oven, how much mere ivill he clothe you, O 
ye of little faith ? 

2? And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what 
ye sha'l drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. 

30 For all these things do the nations of the 
world seek after : and your Father knoweth that 
ye have need of these things. 

31 "■ But rather seek ye the kingdom of God ; 
and all these things shall be added unto you. 

32 ' Fear not, j little flock ; for it is your Fa- 
ther's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. 

33 * Sell that ye have, and give alms : provide 
yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in 
the heavens that faileth not, whore no thief ap- 
proacheth, neither moth corrupteth. 

34 For where your treasure is, there will 
your heart be also. 

35 " Let your loins be girded about, and your 
lights burning ; 

36 And ye yourselves like unto men that wait 
for their lord, when he will return from the wed- 
ding ; that when he cometh and knocketh, they 
may open unto him immediately. 

37 ^Blessed are those servants whom the lord, 
when he cometh, shall find watching : verily I 
say unto you, That he shall gird himself, and 
make them to sit down to meat, and will come 
forth and serve them. 

38 y And if he shall come in the second watch, 
or come in the third watch, and find them so, 
blessed are those servants. 

39 ^ And this know, that if the good man of 
the house had known what hour the thief would 
come, he would have watched, and not have 
suffered his house to be broken through. 

40 ^ Be ye therefore ready also : for the Son 
of man cometh at an hour when ye think not. 

41 Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest 
thou this parable unto us, or even to all ? 

42 *> And the Lord said. Who then is that faith- 
ful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make 
ruler over his household, to give them their por- 
tion of meat in due season ?

The grain of mustard-seed. 

17 And when he had said these things, all 
his adversaries were ashamed : and all the peo- 
ple rejoiced for all the glorious things that were 
done by him. 

18 IE'' Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom ^ Mat. 13, 
of God like.? and whereunto shall I resemble it ? Mark 4,30 

19 It is like a grain of mustard-seed, which 
a man took, and cast into his garden ; and it 
grew, and waxed a great tree ; and the fowls of 
the air Hdged in the branches of it. 

20 ^ And again he said, Whereunto shall I i^^^- 13, 
liken the kingdom of God ? 

21 It is like leaven, which a woman took 
and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole 
wa.s leavened. 

22 H sAnd he went through the cities and villa- 
ges, teaching, and journeying towards Jerusalem. 

23 Then said one unto him. Lord, are there 
few that be saved ? And he said unto them, 

24 '' Strive to enter in at the strait gate :

had a fig-tree planted in his vineyard ; and he 
came and sought fruit thereon, and found none. 

7 Then said he unto the dresser of his vine- 
yard, Behold, these three years I come seeking 
fruit on this fig-tree, and find none : cut it down ; 
why cumbereth it the ground ? 

8 And he answering said unto him, Lord, 
let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about 
it, and dung it : 

9 And if it boar fruit, well: and if not, then 
after that thou shalt cut it down.

2 Christ healeth the dropsy on the sabbath : 8 teacheth

of the great supper, sheweth how '.vorldly-minded men, 
who contemn the word of God, shall be shut out cf hea-

cross, must make their accounts aforehand, lest with 
shame they revolt from him afterward, 34 and be-

ND it came to pass, as he went into the 

house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat 

bread on the sabbath -day, that they watched him. 

2 4nd, behold, there was a certain man be- 
fore him which had the dropsy. 

3 ^ And Jesus answering, spake unto the law- 
yers and Pharisees, saying. Is it lawful to heal 
on the sabbath-day ? 

4 And they held their peace. And he took 
him, and healed hirn, and let him go ; 

5 '' And answered them, saying. Which of 
you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, 
and will not straightway pull him out on the 
sabbath -day ? 

6 And they could not answer him again to 
these things. 

7 And he put forth a parable to those which 
Gr. called, were f bidden, when he marked how they chose 

out the chiet rooms ; saying unto them, 

8 " When thou art bidden of any manto a wed- 
ding, sit not down in the highest room ; lest a 
more honourable man than thou be bidden of him ; 

9 And he that bade thee and him come and 
say to thee, Give this man place ; and thou

25 Now his elder son was in the field : and 
as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard

26 And he called one of the servants, and 
asked what these things meant. 

27 And he s.iid unto him. Thy brother is

5 So he called every one of his lord's debtors 
unto him, and said unto the first, How much 
owest thou unto my lord ? 

6 And he said, An hundred measures of oil. 
And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit 
down quickly, and write fifty. 

7 Then said he to another, And how much 
owest thou ? And he said, An hundred mea- 
sures of wheat. And he said unto him. Take 
thy bill, and write fourscore. 

8 '■" And the lord commended the unjust stew- 
ard, because he had done wisely : for the chil- 
dren of this world are in their generation wiser 
than the children of light. 

9 "^ And I say unto you, Make to yourselves 
friends of the mammon of unrighteousness ; that, 
when ye fail, they may receive you into ever- 
lasting habitations. 

10 *= He that is faithful in that which is least 
is faithful also in much : and he that is unjust in 
the least is unjust also in much. 

11 If therefore ye have not been fiithful in 
the unrighteous mammon, who will cd^uiit to 
your trust the true riches f 

12 And if ye have not been faithful in that 
which is another man's, who shall give you that 
Avhich is your own ? 

13 "^ No servant can serve two masters : for 
either he will hate the one, and love the other ; 
or else he will hold to the one, and despise the 
other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. 

1 4 ^ And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, 
heard all these things : and they derided him. 

15 ''And he said unto them. Ye are they which 
justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth 
yDur hearts : for that which is highly esteemed 
among men is abomination in the sight of God. 

16 s Xhe law and the prophets were until 
John : since that time the kingdom of God is 
preached, and every man presseth into it. 

1 7 *" And it is easier for heaven and earth to 
pass, than one tittle of the law to fail. 

18 'Whosoever putteth away his wife, and 
marrieth another, committeth adultery : and 
whosoever marrieth her that is put away from 
her husband, committeth adultery. 

19 H There was a certain rich man, which 
was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared 
sumptuously every day : 

20 And there was a certain beggar named La- 
zarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, 

21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs 
which fell from the rich man's table : moreover, 
the dogs came and licked his sores. 

22 And it came to pass that the beggar died, 
and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bo- 



{ som : the rich man also died, and was buried ; 
*. 23 And in hell he lifted up his eyes, being in 
J torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and La- 
( zarus in his bosom : 

(» 24 ^ And he cried and said. Father Abraham, 
y have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he 
'( may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool 
^ my tongue ; for I am tormented in this flame. 
^ 25 ' But Abraham said. Son, remember that 
^ thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, 
* and likewise Lazarus evil things : but now he is 

< comforted, and thou art tormented. 

i 26 And besides all this, between us and you 
/ there is a great gulf fixed : so that they Avhich 
^ would pass from hence to you cannot ; neither 
\ can they pass to us that would come from thence. 

27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, 
that thou wouldest send him to my father's house ; 

28 For I have five brethren : that he may 
testify unto them, lest they also come into this 
place of torment. 

29 " Abraham saith unto him, They have 
Moses and the prophets ; let them hear them. 

30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham : but 
if one went unto them from the dead, they will 
repent. 

31 And he said unto him, If they hear not 
Moses and the prophets, neither will they be 

\ persuaded though one rose from the dead. 

CHAPTER XVII. 

1 Christ teacheth to avoid occasions of offence. 3 One to 
forgive another. 6 The power of faith. 7 How we 
are bound to God, and not he to us. 11 He healeth 
ten lepers. 22 Of the kingdom of God, and the coming 
of the Son of man. 

*rfilHEN said he unto the disciples. It is im- 
-^ possible but that offences will come : but 
wo unto him through whom they come ! 

2 It were better for him that a millstone were 
hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, 
than that he should offend one of these little ones. 

3 "^ Take heed to yourselves : If thy brother 
trespass against thee, rebuke him ; and if he re- 
pent, forgive him. 

4 *• And if he trespass against thee seven times 
in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to 

\ thee, saying, I repent ; thou shalt forgive him. 

5 And the apostles said unto the Lord, In- 
crease our faith. 

6 = And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a 
grain of mustard-seed, ye might say unto this 
sycamine-tree. Be thou plucked up by the root, 
and be thou planted in 'the sea ; and it should

there met him ten men that were lepers, which 
stood afar off:

them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests.

glory to God, save this stranger.

The danger of riches. 

10 Two men went up into the temple to pray ; 
the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. 

11 * The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with 
himself: God, I thank thee that I am not as 
other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, 
or even as this publican : 

12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of 
all that I possess. 

13 And the publican, standing afar off, would 
not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but 
smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful 
to me a sinner. 

14^1 tell you, This man went down to his 
house justified rather than the other : for every 
u' 11^''^ one that exalteth himself shall be abased ; and 
he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. 

15 H s And they brought unto him also in- 
fants, that he would touch them : but when his 
disciples saw it, they rebuked them. 

16 '^ But Jesus called them unto him, and said. 
Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid 
them not : for of such is the kingdom of God. 

1 7 ' Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall 
not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, 
shall in no wise enter therein. 

18 H '' And a certain ruler asked him, saying, 
Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal 
life ? 

19 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest 
thou me good ? none is good, save one, that is, 
God. 

20 ' Thou knowest the commandments, Do 
not commit adultery. Do not kill. Do not steal, 
Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father 
and thy mother. 

21 And he said, All these have I kept from 
my youth up. 

22 ° Now when Jesus heard these things, he 
said unto him. Yet lackest thou one thing : sell 
all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, 
and thou shalt have treasure in heaven : and 
come, follow me. 

23 And when he heard this, he was very sor- 
rowful : for he was very rich. 

24 " And when Jesus saw that he was very 
sorrowful, he said. How hardly shall they that 
have riches enter into the kingdom of God ! 

25 For it is easier for a camel to go through a 
for a rich man to enter into 

God. 

26 And they that heard it said, Who then can 
be saved ? 

27 ° And he said. The things which are im- 
possible with men are possible with God.

and folio sved thee.

passeth by.

39 And they which went before rebuked 
him, that he should hold his peace : but he 
cried so much the more. Thou son of David, 
have mercy on me. 

40 And Jesus stood, and commanded him to 
be brought unto him : and when he was come 
near, he asked him, 

41 Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do 
unto thee ? And he said. Lord, that I may 
receive my sight. 

42 ^ And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy ^'ch.v, 19.

Zaccheus, make haste, and come down ; for 
to-day I must abide at thy house. 

6 And he made haste, and came down, and 
received him Joyfully. 

7 And when they saw it, they all murmured, 
saying, That he was gone to be guest with a

also is a son of Abraham.

to save that which was lost. 

11 II And as they heard these things, he added 
and spake a parable, because he was nigh to 
Jerusalem, and because they thought that the 
kingdom of God should immediately appear. f 

12 "^ He said therefore, A certain nobleman >

and the scribes came upon /m'w, with the elders, 

2 And spake unto him, saying. Tell us by 
what authority doest thou these things ? or who 
is he that gave thee this authority ?

will also ask you one thing ; and answer me :

or of men ?

will stone us : for they be persuaded that John 
was a prophet.

tell whence it ivas.

28 1 Ye are they which have continued with

29 ' And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as 
my Father hath appointed unto me ; 

30 ^ That ye may eat and drink at my table 
in my kingdom, and sit on thrones, judging the 
twelve tribes of Israel. 

31 ' And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, be- 
hold, Satan hath desired to have you, that lie 
may sift you as wheat : 

32 " But I have prayed for thee, that thy 
faith fail not : and when thou art converted, 
strengthen thy brethren. 

33 And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready 
to go with thee, both into prison and to death. 

34 ^ And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock 
shall not crow this day before that thou shalt 
thrice deny that thou knowest me. 

35 y And he said unto thein. When I sent you 
without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye 
any thing ? And they said, Nothing. 

36 Then said he unto tiiem. But now, he that 
hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his 
scri]) : and he that hath no sword, let him sell 
his garment and buy one. 

37 ^ For I say unto you. That this that is 
written must yet be accomplished in me, Awd 
he was reckoned among the transgressors : for 
the things concerning me have an end. 

38 And they said, Lord, behold, here are two 
swords. And he said unto them. It is enough. 

39 H " And he came out, and went, as he 
was wont, to the mount of Olives ; arid his dis- 
ciples also followed him. 

40 "^ And when he was at the place, he said 
unto them. Pray that ye enter not into temptation. 

41 " And he was withdrawn from them about 
a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, 

42 '' Saying, Father, if thou be willing, re- 
move this cup from me : nevertheless not my 
will, but thine, be done. 

43 * And there appeared an angel unto him 
from heaven, strengthening him. 

44 •■ And being in an agony, he prayed more 
earnestly : and his sweat was as it were great 
drops of blood falling down to the ground. 

45 And when he rose up from prayer, and 
was come to his disciples, he found them sleep- 
ing for sorrow, 

46 And said unto them. Why sleep ye ? rise 
and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. 

47 ^ And while he yet spake, behold a multi- 
tude, and he that was called Judas, one of the 



twelve, went before them, and drew near unto 
Jesus to kiss him. 

48 But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest 
thou the Son of man with a kiss ? 

49 When they which were about him saw 
what would follow, they said unto him. Lord, 
shall we smite with tlie sword ? 

50 '' And one of them smote the servant of 
the high priest, and cut off his right ear. 

51 And Jesus answered and said. Suffer ye 
thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him. 

.52 ' Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, 
and captains of the temple, and the elders, which 
were come to him, Be ye come out, as against 
a thief, with swords and staves ? 

53 AVhen I was dail}- with you in the temple 

ye stretched forth no hands against me : but this 

is your hour, and the power of darkness. 

} 54 "^ Then took they him, and led him, and 

^ brought him into the high priest's house. And 

Peter followed afar off. 

55 * And when they had kindled a fire in the 
midst of the hall, and were set down together, 
Peter sat down among them. 

56 But a certain maid beheld him as he sat 
by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and 
said. This man was also with him. 

57 And he denied him, saying. Woman, I 
know him not. 

58 And after a little while another saw him, 
and said. Thou art also of them. And Peter 
said, Man, I am not. 

59 And about the space of one hour after, 
another confidently affirmed, saying. Of a truth 
this fellow also was with him ; for he is a Galilean. 

60 "^ And Peter said, Man, I know not what 
thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet 
spake, the cock crew. 

61 " And the Lord turned, and looked upon 
Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the 
Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the 
cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. 

62 And Peter went out, and wept bitterly. 

63 TI " And the men that held*Jesus mocked 
him, and smote him. 

64 And when they had blindfolded him, they 
struck him on the face, and asked him, saying. 
Prophesy, who is it that smote thee ? 

65 And many other things blasphemously 
spake they against him. 

66 H P And as soon as it was day, the elders 
\ of the people and the chief priests and the

IS accused before Pilate. ST. 

69 ' Hereafter shall the Son of man su on the 
right hand of the power of God. 

70 Tiien said they all, Art thou then the Son of 
God ? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am. 

71 And they said. What need we any further 
witness ? for we ourselves have heard of his 
own mouth, 

CHAPTER XXni. 

1 Jesii-s is accused before Pilate, and sent to Herod 
Herod mocketh him. 12 Herod and Pilate are made 
friends. 17 Barabbas is desired of the people, and is 
loosed by Pilate, and Je.sus is given to be crucified : 
27 He telleth the women that lament him the destruc- 
tion of Jerusalem : ."34 Prayeth for his enemies : 39 
Two evil-doers are crucified with him : 46 His death : 
50 His burial. 

ND the whole multitude of them arose, and 
led him unto Pilate. 

2 ^ And they began to accuse him, saying, 
We found ihh fellow perverting the nation, and 
forbidding to giv^e tribute to Cesar, saying that 
he himself is Christ a King. 

3 " And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou 
the King of the Jews ? And he answered him, 
and said, Thou say est it. 

4 '^ Then said Pilate to the chief priests and 
to the people, I find no fault in this man. 

5 And they were the more fierce, saying, He 
stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all 
Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place. 

6 When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked 
whether the man were a Galilean. 

7 •= And as soon as he knew that he belonged 
unto Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, 
who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time. 

8 ^ And when Herod saw Jesus, he was ex- 
ceeding glad : for he was desirous to see him of 
a long season, because he had heard many things 
of him : and he hoped to have seen some miracle 
done by him. 

9 Then he questioned with him in many 
words ; but he answered him nothing. 

10 And the chief priests and scribes stood and 
vehemently accused him. 

1 1 s And Herod with his men of war set him 
at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in 
a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate. 

12^ And the same day Pilate and Herod were 
made friends together : for before they were at 
enmity between themselves. 

13 ' And Pilate, when he had called together 
the chief priests and the rulers and the people, 

14 Said unto them, Ye have brought this man 
unto me as one that perverteth the people ; and, 
behold, I, having examined him before you, 
have found no fault in this man, touching those 
things whereof ye accuse him : 

16 No, nor yet Herod : for I sent you to him : 
and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him.

37 And saying, If thou be the Kmg of the 
Jews, save thyself. 

38 y And a superscription also was written 
over him, in letters of Greek, and Latin, and 
Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE 
JEWS. 

39 1 And one of the malefactors which were 
hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, 
save thyself and us. 

40 But the other answering, rebuked him, 
saying. Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art 
in the same condemnation ? 

41 And we indeed justly,; for we receive the 
due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done 
nothing amiss. 

42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember 
me when thou comest into thy kingdom. 

43 And Jesus said unto him. Verily I say 
unto thee. To-day shalt thou be with me in 
paradise. 

44 H ^ And it was about the sixth hour, and 
there was a darkness over all the earth until the 
ninth hour. 

45 And the sun was darkened, and the vail 
of the temple was rent in the midst. 

*46 * And when Jesus had cried with a loud 
voice, he said, Fatlier, into thy hands I com- 
mend my spiiit ; and having said thus, he gave 
up the ghost, 

47 '' Now when the centurion saw what was 
done, he glorified God, saying. Certainly this 
was a righteous man. 

48 And all the jieople that came together 
to that siiiht, boholdins: the things which were 
done, smote their breasts, and returned. 

49 •= And all his acquaintance, and the wo- 
men that followed him from Galilee, stood afar 
off, beholding these things. 

50 II ** And, behold, there was a man named 
Jo.seph, a counsellor; and he was a good man, 
and a just : 

51 ® (The same had not consented to the 
counsel and deed of them :) he was of Arimathea, 
a city olthe Jews; who also himself waited for 
the kingdom of God. 

52 This man ^^"ent unto Pilate, and begged 
the body of Jesus. 

53 ■" And he took it down, and wrapped it in 
linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn 
in stone, wherein never man before was laid. 

54 K And that day was the preparation, and 
the sabbatii drew on. 

55 '■ And the women also, ^^■hich came with 
him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the 
sepulchre, and how his body was laid. 

56 ' And they returned, and prepared spices 
and ointments ; and rested the sabbath-day, ac- 
cording to the commandment. 



CHAPTER XXIV. 



1 Christ's resurrection is declared by two angels to the 
women that come to the sepulchre. 9 These report 
it to others. 13 Christ himself appeareth to the two 
disciples that went to Emmaus. 36 Afterward he ap- 
peareth to the apostles, and reproveth their unbelief: 
47 giveth them a charge : 49 promiseth the Holy 
Ghost ; 51 and so ascendeth into heaven. 

^"jVrOW upon the first day of the week, very 
-L^ early in the morning, they came unto the 
sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had 
prepared, and certain others with them. 

2 And they found the stone rolled away from 
the sepulchre. 

3 ^ And they entered in, and found not the 
body of the Lord Jesus. 

4 " And it came to pass, as they were much 
perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by 
them in shining garments: 

5 And, as they were afraid, and bowed down 
their faces to the earth, they said unto them, 
Why seek ye the living among the dead ? 

6 ** He is not here, but is risen : remember how 
he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, 

7 Saying, The Son of man must be delivered 
into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, 
and the third day rise again. 

8 * iVnd they remembered his words, 

9 ' And returned from the sepulchre, and told 
all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest. 

1 ^ It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, 
and Mary the mother of James, and other ivo- 
men that ivere with them, which told these 
things unto the apostles. 

1 1 "^ And their words seemed to them as idle 
tales, and they believed them not. 

12 ' Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepul- 
chre ; and stooping down, he beheld the linen 
clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wonder- 
ing in himself at that which was come to pass. 

13 l[''And, behold, two of them went that 
same day to a village called Emmaus, which was 
from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs. 

14 And they talked together of all these 
things which had happened. 

15 ' And it came to pass, that, while they 
communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself 
drew near, and went with them. 

16 "But their eyes were holden that they 
should not know him. 

17 And he said unto them. What manner of 
communications are these that ye have one to 
another, as ye walk, and are sad ? 

18 ''And the one of them, whose name was 
Cleopas, answering said unto him. Art thou only 
a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the 
things which are come to pass there in these days ? 

19 "And he said unto them. What things? 
And they said unto him. Concerning Jesus of

this, to-day is the third day since these things 
were done. 

22 1 Yea, and certain women also of our com-

the sepulchre :

came, saying. That they had also seen a vision 
of angels, which said that he was alive. 

24 And certain of them which were with us 
went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as

CHAPTER I. 

1 The divinity, humanity, and office of Jesus Christ. 
15 The testimony of John. 39 The caUing of An- 
drew, Peter, &c. 

*XN the beginning was the Word, and the Word 
-■- was with God, and the Word was God. 

2 ^ The same was in the beginning Avith God. 

3 All things were made by him ; and with- 
out him was not any thing made that was made. 

4 In him was life ; and the life was the light 
of men. 

3 *= And the light shineth in darkness ; and 
the darkness comprehended it not. 

6 H '' There was a man sent from God, whose 
name ivas John. 

7 " The same came for a witness, to bear wit- 
ness of the Light, that all men through him 
might believe. 

H He was not that Light, but luas sent to 
bear witness of that Light. 

9 That was the true Light, which lighteth 
every man that conieth into the world. 

10 '' He was in the worid, and the world was 
made by him, and the world knew him not. 

1 1 ^ He came unto his owny«nd his o\vn re- 
ceived him not. 

12 ''But as m?.ny as received him, to them 
gave he power to become the sons of God, even 
to them that believe on his name : 

13 ' \Vhich were born, not of blood, nor of the 
will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of 
God. 

14'' And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt 
among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory 
as of tJie only-begotten of the Father,) full of 
grace and truth. 

15 'John bare witness of him, and cried, say- 
ing. This was he of whom I spake, He that 
Cometh after me is preferred before me : for he 
was before me. 

16 "^ And of his fulness have all we received, 
and grace for grace. 

17 " For the law was given by Moses, but 
grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. 

18 ° No man hath seen God at any time ; the 
only-begotten Son, which is in the besom of the 
Father, lie hath declared him. 

19 '• And this is the record of John, when the 
Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ; 
ask him. Who art thou ? 

20 1 And he confessed, and denied not ; but 
confessed, I am not the Christ. 

21 ■■ And they asked him. What then ? Art 
thou Elias ? And he saith, I am not. Art thou 
that prophet ? And he answered. No. 

22 Then said they unto him, Who art thou ? 




that we may give an answer to them that sent 
us. What sayest thou of thyself ? 

23 ' He said, I am the voice of one crying in 
the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Maft.^'s^' 
Lord, as said the prophet Esaias. Se 3'4^' 

24 And they which were sent were of the verse 15 
Pharisees. 

23 * And they asked him, and said unto him, jP^"'- '^' 
Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that 
Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet ? 

26 "John answered them, saying, I baptize » Mai. 3,1. 
with water : but there standeth one among you, Mark 1,7". 
whom ye know not ; ^"ses^is.*^' 

27 He it is, who, coming after me, is prefer- 
red before me, Avhose shoe's latchet I am not 
worthy to unloose. * 

28 ^ These things were done in Bethabara, ^'^^'^p- ^°' 
beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing. 

29 H y The next day John seeth Jesus coming ^f^^^j^ 
unto him, and saith. Behold the Lamb of God, verse ss ' 
which taketh away the sin of the world ! 

30 ' This is he of whom I said, After me 
cometh a man which is preferred before me : 
for he was before me. 

31 * And I knew him not : but that he should 'y^^- 7' 4. 
be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come ' 
baptizing with water. 

32 ''And John bare record, saying, I saw ^^^^•^> 
the Spirit descending; from heaven like a dove, Mark 1,10. 

1.^,1 , .*= ' Luke 3,21. 

and It abode upon him. 

33 " And I knew him not : but he that sent me cMat.s, 
to baptize with water, the same said unto me, verse 31 
Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descend- ^"^^ '°' 
ing, and remaining on him, the same is he 
which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. 

34 And I saw, and bare record that this is 
the Son of God. 

33 H Again, the next day after, John stood, 
and two of his disciples ; 

36 '' And looking upon Jesus as he walked, averse 29.

37 And the two disciples heard him spe

38 Then Jesus turned, and saw them follow-

said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being 
interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou :' 

39 He sa.'th unto them, Come and see. They 
came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with 
him that day : for it was about the tenth hour. 

40 "^ One of the two which heard John 
speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon 
Peter's brother. 

41 ^He first findeth his own brother Simon, fisa 6i, i.

which is, being interpreted, The Christ.

42 s And he brought him to Jesus. And when 
Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the 
son of Jona : thou shalt be called Cephas, which 
is, by interpretation, A stone. 

43 The day following Jesus would go forth 
into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto 
him. Follow me. 

44 ^ Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city 
of Andrew and Peter. 

45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto 
him. We have found him of whom Moses in the 
law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Na- 
zareth, the son of Joseph. 

46 ' And Nathanael said unto him. Can there 
any good thing come out of Nazareth ? Philip 
saith unto him, Come and see. 

47 ^ Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, 
and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in 
whom is no guile I 

48 'Nathanael saith unto him. Whence know- 
est thou me ? Jesus answered and said unto 
him. Before that Philip called thee, when thou 
wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee. 

49 ° Nathanael answered and saith unto him, 
Rabbi, thou art the Son of God ; thou art the 
King of Israel. 

50 Jesus answered and said unto him, Be- 
cause I said unto thee, I saw thee under the 
fig-tree, believest thou ? thou shalt see greater 
things than these. 

51 " And he saith unto him, Verily, verilj'^, I 
say unto you. Hereafter ye shall see heaven 
open, and the angels of God ascending and de- 
scending upon the Son of man. 

CHAPTER II. 

1 Christ turneth water into wine, 12 departeth into Ca- 
pernauna, and to Jerusalem, 14 where he purgeth the 
temple of buyers and sellers : 19 He foretelleth his 
death and resurrection : 23 Many believed because of 
his miracles, but he would not trust himsjelf with them. 

ND the third day there was a marriage 
in Cana of Galilee ; and the mother of 
Jesus was there : 

2 And both Jesus was called and his disci- 
ples to the marriage. 

3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of 
Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. 

4 ^ Jesus saith unto her. Woman, what have 
I to do with thee ? mine hour is not yet come. 

5 His mother saith unto the servants, What- 
soever he saith unto you, do it. 

6 •= And there were set there six water-pots 
of stone, after the manner of the purifying 
of the Jews, containing two or three firkins 
apiece. 

7 Jesus saith unto them. Fill the water- 
pots with water. And they- filled them j up to 
the brim. 1 i 



8 And he saith unto them. Draw out now, 
and bear unto the governor of the feast. And 
they bare it. 

9 '^ When the ruler of the feast had tasted 
the water that was made wine, and knew not 
whence it was, (but the servants which drew 
the water knew,) the governor of the feast 
called the bridegroom, 

10 ^ And saith unto him. Every man at the 
beginning doth set forth good wine ; and when 
men have well drunk, then that which is worse : 
but thou hast kept the good wine until now. 

1 1 ^ This beginning of miracles did Jesus in 
Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory ; 
and his disciples believed on him. 

12 H After this he went down to Caper- 
naum, he and his mother, and his brethren, 
and his disciples : and they continued there 
not many days. 

13 s And the Jews' passover was at hand, 
and Jesus went up to Jerusalem, 

14 "^ And found in the temple those that sold 
oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of 
money sitting : 

15 And when he had made a scourge of 
small cords, he drove them all out of the tem- 
ple, and the shqipp, and the oxen ; and poured 
out the changers' money, and overthrew the 
tables ; 

16 ' And said unto them that sold doves, Take 
these things hence; make not my Father's house 
an house of merchandise. 

17 ^ And his disciples remembered that it 
was written, The zeal of thine house hath 
eaten me up. 

1 8 ' Then answered the Jews and said unto 
him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing 
that thou doest these things ? 

19 "Jesus answered and said unto them, 
Destroy this temple, and in three days I will 
raise it up. 

20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years 
was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear 
it up in three days ? 

21 " But he spake of the temple of his 
body. 

22 ° When therefore he was risen from the 
dead, his disciples remembered that he had said 
this unto them ; and they believed the scripture, 
and the word which Jesus had said. 

23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the 
passover, in the fezst-day, many believed in 
his name, when they saw the miracles which 
he did. 

24 p But Jesus did not commit himself unto 
them, because he knew all men ; 

25 'i And needed not that any should testify 
of man : for he knew what was in man.

the necessity of repentance 

19 p And thqs is the condemnation, that light 
is come into the world, and men loved darkness 
rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 
* 20 1 For every one that doeth evil hateth the 
light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds 
should be reproved : 

21 " But he that doeth truth cometh to the 
light, that his deeds may be made manifest that 
they are wrought in God. 

22 H ^ After these things came Jesus and his 
disciples into the land of Judea ; and there he 
tarried with them, and baptized. 

23 * And John also Avas baptizing in Enon, 
near to Salim, because there was much water 
there ; and they came, and were baptized : 

24 " For John was not yet cast into prison. 
23 Then there arose a question between some s. 

of John's disciples and the Jews, about purifying. 

26 ^ And they came unto John, and said unto 
him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jor- 
dan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the 
same baptizeth, and all men come to him. 

27 y John answered and said, A man can re- 
ceive nothing, except it be given him from heaven. 

28 ^ Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, 
I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him. 

29 ^ He that hath the bride is the bridegroom : 
but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth 
and heareth him, rcjoiceth greatly because of 
the bridegroom's voice. This my joy therefore 
is fulfilled.

3 He left Judea, and departed again into 
Galilee. 

4 And he must needs go through Samaria. 

5 ^ Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, 
which is called Sjchar, near to the parcel of 
ground that Jacoh gave to his son Joseph. 

6 Now Jacob's well was therp. Jesus there- 
fore, being Vv'earied with /its journey, sat thus on 
the well ; and it was about the sixth hour. 

7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw 
water. Jesus saith unto her. Give me to drink. 

8 (For his disciples were gone away unto the 
city to buy meat.) 

9 ''Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, 
How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink 
of me, which am a woman of Samaria ? for the 
Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans. 

10 '^ Jesus ansv/ered and said unto her. If thou 
bnewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith 
"to thee. Give me to drink ; tJiou wouldest have 
asked of him, and he would have given thee 
living water. 

1 1 *" The woman saith unto him. Sir, thou hast 
nothing to draw with, and the well is deep : from 
whence then hast thou that living w^ater ? 

12 Art thou greater than our father, Jacob, 
which gave us the well, and drank thereof him- 
self, and his children, and his cattle ? 

1 3 ^ Jesus answered and said unto her, Who- 
soever drinketh of this water shall thirst again : 

14 ^ But whosoever drinketh of the water that 
I shall give him, shall never thirst : but the wa- 
ter that I shall give him shall be in him a well of 
water springing up into everlasting life. 

15 The woman saith unto him. Sir, give me 
this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither 
to draw. 

16 Jesus saith unto her. Go, call thy husband, 
and come hither. 

17 The woman answered and said, I have no 
husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well 
said, I have no husband : 

18 For thou hast had five husbands ; and he 
whom thou now hast is not thy husband : in that 
saidst thou truly. 

. 19 ^' The woman saith unto him, Sir, I per- 
ceive that thou art a prophet. 

20 ' Our fathers worshipped in this mountain ; 
and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where 
men ought to worship. 

21 Jesus saith unto her. Woman, believe me, 
the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this 
mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the 
Father. 

22 ^ Ye worship ye know not what : we know 
what we worshipi^for salvation is of the Jews. 

2-3 But the hour cometh, and now is, when 
the true worshippers. shall worship the Father in 




rPs. 19, 10

spirit and in truth : for the Father seeketh such 
to worship him. 

24 ^ (?od is a spirit : and they that worship ^ 
him must worship him in spirit and in truth. 17. ^'"^' ^' 

25 " The woman saith unto him, I know that m'^ieVscs' 
Messias cometh, which is called Christ : when ~^- ^9 
he is come, he will tell us all things. 

26 " Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto ° '^^- ^> ^° 
thee am he. 

27 " And upon this came his disciples, and ovcrses. 
marvelled that he talked with the woman : yet 

no man said, What seekest thou.'^ or, Why talk- 
est thou with her ? 

28 p The woman then left her water-pot, and p^erse?, 
went her way into the city, and saith to the men, 

29 1 Come, see a man which told me all q verse 25 
things that ever I did : Is not this the Christ ? 

30 Then they went out of the city, and came 
unto him. 

31 IT In the mean while his disciples prayed 
him, saying. Master, eat. 

32 "^But he said unto them, I have meat to 
eat that ye know not of. 

33 Therefore said the disciples one to another, 
Hath any man brought him aught to eat ? 

34 ' Jesus saith unto them. My meat is to 
do the will of hinfcthat sent me, and to finish his chap, n, 4 
work. 

35 * Say not ye. There are yet || four months, i^^^-^^^l 
and then cometh harvest.^ behold, I say unto ii That is, 
you. Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields ; -pa^ol^, 
for they are white already to harvest. Lev. 23, 10 

3Q "And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and "^^^- ^'' 
gathereth fruit unto life eternal ; that both he that 
soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. 

37 And herein is that saying true, One sow- 
eth, and another reapeth. 

38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye be- 
stowed no labour : other men laboured, and ye 
are entered into their labours. 

39 1^ And many of the Samaritans of that city 
believed on him for the saying of the woman, 
which testified. He told me all that ever I did. 

40 So w^hen the Samaritans were come unto 
him, they besought him that he would tarry with 
them : and he abode there two days. 

41 And many more believed because of his 
own word ; 

42 y And said unto the woman. Now we be 
lieve, not because of thy saying ; for we have chap, n, s 
heard him ourselves, and knoAV that this is in- 
deed the Christ, the Saviour of the world. 

43 H Now after two days he departed thence, 
and went into Galilee. 

44 ^ For Jesus himself testified, that a pro- 
phet hath no honour in his ov/n country. 

45 ^ Then, when he was come into Galilee, I'^gplf^^l; 
the Galileans received him, having seen all the

thing.s that he did at Jerusalem at the feast : for 
they also went unto the feast. 

46 !I ^ So Jesus came again into %ana of 
Galilee, where he made the water ^^nne. And 
there was a certain f nobleman, Avhose son was 
sick at Capernaum. • , 

47 When he heard that Jesus 'w^as come out 
of Judea into Galilee, he went unto him, and 
besought him that he would come down, and 
heal his son : for he was at the point of death. 

48 " Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye 
see signs and wonders, ye will not believe. 

49 The nobleman saith unto him. Sir, come 
down ere my child die. 

50 Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy 
son liveth. And the man believed the word 
that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went 
his way. 

51 And as he Avas now going down, his 
servants met him, and told him, saying. Thy 
son liveth. 

52 Then inquired he of them the hour when 
he began to amend. And they said unto him. 
Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left 
him. 

53 So the father knew that it ^cas at the 
same hour in the which Jcsi|| said unto him, 
Thy son liveth: and himself oelieved, and his 
whole house. 

54 This is again the second miracle that 
Jesus did, when he was come out of Judea into 
Galilee. 

CHAPTER V. 

1 Jesus, on the sabbath-day, cureth him that was diseased 
eight and thirty years. 10 The Jews therefore cavil, 
and persecute him for it. 17 He answereth for him- 
self, and reproveth them, shewing by the testimony of 
his Father, 32 of John, 3G of his worlcs, 39 and of the 
scriptures, who he is. 

* \ FTER this there was a feast of the Jews ; 
-^^ and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 

2 ^ Now there is at Jerusalem, by the sheep- 
market, a pool, which is called in tlie Hebrew 
tongue Bethesda, having live porches. 

3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent 
folk, of blind, halt, withered, "vaiting for the 
moving of the water. 

4 For an angel went down at a certain sea- 
son into the pool, and troubled the water : who- 
soever then first, after the troubling of the wa- 
ter, stepped in, was made whole of whatsoever 
disease he had. 

5 And a certain man was there which had an 
infirmity thirty and eight years. 

6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he 
had been now a long time in that case, he saith 
unto him. Wilt thou be made whole ? 

7 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I 
have no man, when the water is troubled, to put 



me into the pool : but while I am coming, ano- 
f ther steppeth down before me. 

8 *= Jesus saith unto him. Rise, take up thy 
be#, and walk. 

9 '* And immediately the man was made 
whole, and took up his bed, and walked : and 
on the same day was the sabbath. 

10 " The Jews therefore said unto him that 
was cured. It is the sabbath-day ; it is not lawful 
for thee to carry thy bed. 

1 1 He answered them. He that made me whole, 
the same said unto me. Take up thy bed and walk. 

12 Then asked they him. What man is that 
which said unto thee. Take up thy bed and 
walk ? 

13 ''And he that was healed wist not who it 
was : for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a 
multitude being in that place. 

14 s Afterward Jesus hndetii him in the temple,, 
and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole : 

J sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee. 

^ 15 The man departed, and told the Jews that 

} it was Jesus which had made him whole. 

■ 16 '' And therefore did the Jews persecute 
Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had 
done these things on the sabbath-day. 

17 ' Fut Jesus answered them. My Father 

\ worketh hitherto, and I work. 




18'' Therefore the Jews sought the more to 



( kill him, because he not only liad broken the 
\ sabbath, but said also that God wis his Father, 
i making himself equal with God. 
) 19 'Then answered Jesus and said unto them, 
I Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do 
' nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Fa- 
\ ther do : for what things soever he doeth, these 
also doeth the Son likewise. 

20 ^ For the Father loveth the Son, and 
sheweth him all things that himself doeth : and 
he will shew him greater works than these, that 
\ ye may marvel. 

^ 21 ° For as the Father raiseth up the dead, 
^ and quickeneth them ; even so the Son quicken- 
< eth whom he Avill. 

22 ° For the Father juclgeth no man, but hath 
committed all judgment unto the Son : 

23 f That ail men should honour the Son, 
even as they honour the Father. He that 

J honoureth not the Son, honoureth not the Fa- 
\ ther which hath sent him. 
^ 24 'i Verily, verily, 1 say unto you, He that 
' heareth my word, and belie veth on him that sent 
J me, hat h everlasting life, and shall not come into 
i condem nation ; but is passed from death unto life. 
J 26 ' Verily, verily, I say unto you. The hour 
\ is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear 
\ the voice of the Son of God : and they that hear 
\ shall live.

CHAPTER VI. 

1 Christ feedeth five thousand men with five loaves and 
two fisnes. 15 Thereupon the people would have 
made him king. 16 But withdrawing himself, he 
wallieth on the sea to his disciples : 26 reproveth the 
people flocking after him, and all the fleshly hearers 
of his word : 32 declareth himself to be the bread of 
life to believefs. 66 Many disciples depart from him. 
68 Peter confesseth him. 70 Judas is a devil. 

Jk FTER these things Jesus went over the sea 
-^^ of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias. 

2 And a great multitude followed him, be- 
cause they saw his miracles which he did on 
them that were diseased. 

3 ^ And Jesus went up into a mountain, and 
there he sat with his disciples. 

4 ^ And the j| passover, a feast of the Jews, 
was nigh. 

5 " When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and 
saw a great company come unto him, he saith 
unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that 
these may eat ? 

6 And this he said to prove him : for he him- 
self knew what he would do. 

7 Philip answered him, Two hundred penny- 
worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that 
every one of them may take a little. 

8 One of his ((Pciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's 
brother, saith unto him, 

9 "^ There is a lad here, which hath five bar- 
ley-loaves and two small fishes : but what are 
they among so many ? 

10 And Jesus said. Make the men sit down. 
Now there was much grass in the place. So 
the men sat down, in number about five thou- 
sand. 

1 ] ^ And Jesus took the loaves : and when he 
had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, 
and the disciples to them that were set down ; and 
likewise o^" the fishes as much as they would. 

12 When they were filled, he said unto his 
disciples. Gather up the fragments that remain, 
that nothing be lost. 

13 Therefore they gathered them together, 
and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of 
the five barley- haves, which remained over and 
above unto them that had eaten. 

14 ^ Then those men, when they had seen the 
miracle that Jesus did, said. This is of a truth 
that Prophet that should come into the world. 

15 s When Jesus therefore perceived that 
they would come and take him by force, to make 
him a king, he departed again into a mountain 
himself alone. 

1 6 H "^ And when even was noiv come, his dis- 
ciples went down unto the sea, 

1 7 And entered into a ship, and went over the 
sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, 
and Jesus was not come to them.

18 And the sea arose, by reason of a great 
wind that blew. 

19 So when they had rowed about five and 
twenty or thirty || furlongs, they see Jesus walk- 
ing on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship : 
and they were afraid. % 

20 But he saith unto them, It is I ; be not 
afraid. 

21 Then they \A'illing]y received him into the 
ship : and immediately the ship was at the land 
whither they went. 

22 H The day following, when the people 
which stood on the other side of the sea saw that 
there was none other boat there, save that one 
whereinto his disciples were entered, and that 
Jesus ^\ent not with his disciples into the boat, 
but that his disciples were gone away alone ; 

23 (' Howbeit there came other boats from Ti- 
berias, nigh unto the place where they did eat 
bread, after that the Lord had given thanks ;) 

24 When the people therefore saw that Jesus 
was not there, neither his disciples, they also 
took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking 
for Jesus. 

25 And when they had found him on the 
other side of the .sea, they said i^to him, Rabbi, 
when earnest thou hither ? ^ 

26 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, ve- 
rily, I say unto you. Ye seek me, not because ye 
saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the 
loaves, and were filled. 

27 '' Labour not for the meat which perisheth, 
but for that meat which endureth unto everlast- 
ing life, which tlie Son of man shall give unto 
you : for him hath God the Father sealed. 

28 Then said they unto him. What shall we 
do, that we might work the works of God ? 

29 'Jesus answered and said unto them, This 
is the work of God, That ye believe on him 
whom he hath sent. 

30 "" They said therefore unto him. What sign 
shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe 
thee ? what dost thou work ? 

31 " Our fathers did eat manna in the desert ; 
as it is written. He gave them bread from hea- 
ven to eat. 

32 " Then Jesus said unto them. Verily, verily, 
1 say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread 
from heaven ; but my Father giveth you the 
true bread from heaven. 

33 I* For the bread of God is he which cometh 
down from heaven, and giveth life unto the Av^orld. 

34 •» Then said they unto him. Lord, ever- 
more give i« this bread. 

35 'And Jesus said unto them, I am the 
bread of life : he that cometh to me shall never 
hunger; and he that believeth on me shall 
never thirst. 



36 ^ But I said unto you, That ye also have 
seen me, and believe not. 

37 * All that the Father giveth me shall come 
to me ; and him that cometh to me I will in no 
wise cast out. 

38 " For I came down from heaven, not to do 
mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. 

39 ^ And this is the Father's will which hath 
sent me. That of all which he hath given me I 
should lose nothing, but should raise it up again 
at the last day. 

40 y And this is the will of him that sent me, 
That every one which seeth the Son, and believ- 
eth on him, may have everlasting life : and 1 
will raise him up at the last day. 

41 The Jews then murmured at him, because 
he said, I am the bread which came down from 
heaven. 

42 ^ And they said. Is not this Jesus, the son 
of Joseph, whose father and mother we know ? 
how is it then that he saith, I came down from 
heaven ? 

43 Jesus therefore answered and said unto 
them, Murmur not among yourselves. 

44 ' No man can come to me, except the Fa- 
ther, whicli hath sent me, draw him : and I will 
raise him up at the last day. 

45 " It is written in the prophets. And they 
shall be all taught of God. Every man there- 
fore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Fa- 
ther, cometh unto me. 

46 " Not that any man hath seen the Father, 
save he which is of God ; he hath seen the Father. 

47 "^ Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that 
believeth on me hath everlasting life. 

48 M am that bread of life. 

49 f Your fathers did eat manna in the wilder- 
ness, and are dead. 

50 This is the bread which cometh down 
from heaven, thg* a man may eat thereof, and 
not die. 

51 ^ i am the living bread which came down 
from heaven. If any man eat of this bre.ad, he 
shall live for ever : and the bread that I will 
give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of 
the world. 

52 ^ The Jews therefore strove amongst them- 
selves, saying. How can this man give us his 
flesh to eat ? '<.^. 

53 ' Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, 
verily, I say unto you. Except ye eat the flesh of 
the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no 
life in you. 

54 '' Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my 
blood, hath eternal life ; and I will raise him up 
at the last day. 

55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood 
is drink indeed.

60 II ° Many therefore of his disciples, when 
they had heard this, said, This is an hard say-

not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who 
they were that believed not, and who should 
betray him. 

65 ^ And he said, Therefore said I unto you, 
That no man can come unto me, except it were 
given unto him of my Father. 

66 From that time many of his disciples went 
back, and walked no more with him. 

67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye 
also go away ? 

68 * Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, 
to whom shall we go ? thou hast the words of 
eternal life. 

69 " And we believe and are sure that thou 
art that Christ, the Son of the living God. 

70 ^ Jesus answered them. Have not I chosen 
you twelve, and one of you is a devil ? 

71 He spake of Judas Iscariot, the son of 
Simon : for he it was that should betray him, 
being one of the twelve. 

CHAPTER Vn. 

i Jesus reproveth the ambition and boldness of his kins- 
men : 10 goeth up from Galilee to the feast of taber- 
nacles : 14 teacheth in the temple. 40 Divers linions 
of him among the people. 45 The Pharisees are angry 
that their officers took him not, and c^ide with Nico 
demus for taking his part. 

^ A FTER these things Jesus walked in Gali- 
-^ lee: for he would not walk in Jewry, 
because the Jews sought to kill him. 

2 '' Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles was 
at hand. 

3 " His brethren therefore said unto him, De- 
part hence, and go into Judea, that thy disciples 
also may see the works that thou doest.

in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known 
openly. If ihou do these things, shew thyself 
to the world. 

5 " For neither did his brethren believe in 
him. 

6 *■ Then J^ggus said unto them. My time is 
not yet come : but your time is always ready. 

7 s The world cannot hate you ; but me it §^^- ^' 
hateth, because I testify of it, that the works 15, is. 
thereof are evil. 

8 '' Go ye up unto this feast : I go not up yet h v*^rse so. 
unto this feast ; for my time is not yet full come. *^ *^' ' 

9' When he had said these words unto them, 
he abode still in Galilee. 

10 ^ But when his brethren were gone up, 
then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, 
but as it were in secret. 

11 ' Then the Jews sought him at the feast, >c^- "'S5- 
and said, Where is he ? 

12 ^ And there was much murmuring among ^gMat.21, 
the people concerning him : for some said. He Luke?, 16.

14 H " Now about the midst of the feast, 
Jesus went up^to the temple, and taught. 

15 And the Jews marvelled, saying. How 
knoweth this man letters, having never learned ? 

16 " Jesus answered them. My doctrine is 
not mine, but his that sent me. 

17 ° If any man will do his will, he shall 
know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or 
whether I speak of myself.

nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed 
that this is the very Christ ? 

27 ^ Howbeit we know this man whence he 
is : but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth 
whence he is. 

28 y Then cried Jesus in th^ temple as he 
taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know 
Avhence I am : and I am not come of myself, but 
he that sent me is true, whom ye know not. 

29 ^ But I know him : for I am from him, 
and he hath sent me. 

30 ^ Then they sought to take him : but no 
man laid hands on him, because his hour was 
not yet come. 

31 ^ And many of the people believed on him, 
and said. When Christ cometh, will he do more 
miracles than these which this man hath done ? 

32 " The Pliarisees heard that the people 
murmured such things concerning him ; and 
the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers 
to take him. 

33 '^ Then said Jesus unto them. Yet a little 
while am I with you, and then I go unto him 
that sent me. 

34 ' Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: 
and where I am, thither ye cannot come. 

35 Then said the Jews aiAiig themselves, 
A\'hither will he go, that Ave shall not find him ? 
will he go unto the dispersed among the Gen- 
tiles, and teach the Gentiles ? 

36 What mangier of saying is this that he 
said. Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me : 
and where I am, thither ye cannot come ? 

37 1[ ' In the last day, that great day of the 
least, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man 
thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. 

38 E He that belicveth on me, as the Scrip- 
ture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers 
of living water. 

39 ^ (But this spake he of the Spirit, which 
they that believe on him should receive : for 
the Holy Ghost was not yet given ; because 
that Jesus was not yet glorified.) 

40 ' Many of the people therefore, when 
they heard this saying, said. Of a truth this is 
the Prophet. 

41 '' Others said. This is the Christ. But 
some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee ? 

42 ' Hath not the Scripture said. That Christ 
cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town, 
of Bethlehem, where David was ? 

43 " So there was a division among the peo- 
l)lc because of him : 

44 ° An^ some of them would have taken 
him ; but no man laid hands on him. 

45 Then came the officers to the chief priests 
and Pharisees ; and they said unto them, Why 
have ye not brought him ? 



46 The officers answered, Never man ?pake 
like this man. 

47 Then answered them the Pharisees, Are 
ye also deceived ? 

48 ° Have any of the rulers or of the Phari- 
sees believed on him ? 

49 But this people, who knoweth not the 
law, are cursed. 

50 P Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that 
came to Jesus by night, being one of them,) 

51 "J Doth our law judge any man before it 
hear him, and know what he doeth ? 

52 ' They answered and said unto him, Art 
thou also of Galilee ? Search, and look : for 
out of Galilee ariseth no prophet. 

53 And every man went unto his own house. 

CHAPTER VIII. 

1 Christ delivereth the woman taken in adultery : 12 
He preacheth himself the light of the world, and justi- 
fieth his doctrine ; 33 answereththe Jews that boasted of 
Abraham, 59 and conveyeth himself from theircruelty. 

ESUS went unto the mount of Olives. 
2 And early in the morning he came again 
into the temple, and all the people came unto- 
him ; and he sat down, and taught them. 

3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto 
him a woman taken in adultery ; and when' 
they had set her in the midst, 

4 They say unto him. Master, this woman 
was taken in adultery, in the very act. 

5 '^ Now Moses in the law commanded us, that 
such should be stoned : but what sayest thou ? 

6 This they said tempting him, that they might 
have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, 
and with his finger wrote on the ground, as 
though he heard them not. 

I " So when they continued askinghim, he lift- 
ed up himself, and said unto them. He that is with- 
out sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. 

8 And again he stooped down, and wrote 
on the ground. 

9 *= And they which heard it, being convicted 
by their oivn conscience, went out one by one, 
beginning at the eldest even unto the last : and 
Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing 
in the midst. 

10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw 
none but the woman, he said unto her. Wo- 
man, where are those thine accusers ? hath no 
man condemned thee ? 

I I '^ She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus 
said unto her, Neither do I condemn, thee : go, 
and sin no more. 

12 H ^ Then spake Jesus again unto them, 
saying, I am the light of the world : he that fol- 
loweth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall 
have the light of life. 

13 ^ The Pharisees therefore said unto him,

say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. 

59 ' Then took they up stones to cast at 
him : but Jesus hid himself, and went out of 
the temple, going through the midst of them, 
and so passed by. 

CHAPTER IX. 

1 The man that was born blind restored to sight : 13 He 
is brought to the Pharisees : 16 They are offended at 
it, and 34 excommunicate him : So but he is received 
of Jesus, and confesseth him. 39 Who they are whom 
Christ enlighteneth. 

\ ND as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which 
-^-^ was blind from his birth. 

2 ' And his disciples asked him, saying. Mas- 
ter, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that 
he was born blind ? 

3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sin- 
ned, nor his parents ; but that the works of God 
should he made manifest in him. 

4 "^ I must work the works of him that sent 
me, while it is day : the night cometh, when no 
man can work. 

5 = As long as I am in the world, I am the 
light of the world. 

6 When he had thus spoken, he spat on the 
ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he 
anointed the eyes of the blind man with the 
clay. 

7 And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool 
of Siloam, (which is, by interpretation. Sent.) 
He went his way therefore, and washed, and 
came seeing. 

8 The neighbours therefff e, and they which 
before had seen him that he was blind, said. Is 
not this he that sat and begged ? 

9 Some said. This is he : others said, He is 
like him : but he said, I am he. 

10 Therefore said they unto him. How were 
thine eyes opened ? 

1 1 He answered and said, A man that is called 
Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and 
said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: 
and I went and washed, and I received sight. 

12 Then said they unto him, Where is he ? 
He said, I know not. 

13 IT They brought to the Pharisees him that 
aforetime was blind. 



14 And it was the sabbath-day when Jesus 
made the clay and opened his eyes. 

15 Then again the Pharisees also asked him 
how he had received his sight. He said unto 
them. He put clay upon mine eyes, and I wash- 
ed, and do see. 

16'' Therefore said some of the Pharisees, 
This man is not of God, because he keepeth not 
the sabbath-day. Others said. How can a man 
that is a sinner do such miracles ? And there was 
a division among; them. 

17 They say unto the blind man again, W^hat 
; sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine 
\ eyes ? He said. He is a prophet. 

18 But the Jews did not believe concerning 
him, that he had been blind and received his 
sight, until they called the parents of him that 
had received his sight. 

19 And they asked them, saying. Is this your 
son, who ye say was born blind ? how then doth 
he now see ? 

} 20 His parents answered them and said. We 
' know that this is our son, and that he was born 
] blind

CHAPTER X. 

1 Christ is the door, and the good shepherd : 19 Divers 
opinions of him : 25 He proveth by his works, that he 
is Christ the Son of God : 39 Escapeth the Jews, 40 and 
goeth again beyond Jordan, where many beheve on him. 

'17"EPtILy, verily, I say unto you, He that en- 
» tereth not by the door into the sheepfold, 
but climbeth up some other way, the same is a 
thief and a robber. 

2 But he that entereth in by the door is the 
shepherd of the sheep. 

3 To him the porter openeth ; and the sheep 
hear his voice : and he calleth his own sheep 
by name, and leadeth them out. 

4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, 
he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him : 
for they know his voice. 

5 And a stranger will they not follow, but 
Avill flee from him : for they know not the voice 
of strangers. 

6 This parable spake Jesus unto them : but 
they understood not what things they were 
which he spake unto them. 

7 H Then said Jesus unto them again. Verily, 
verily, 1 say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. 

8 * All that ever came before me are thieves 
and robbers : but the sheep did not hear them. 

9 ^ I am the door: by me if any man enter in, 
he sliall be saved, and shall go in and out, and 
find pasture. 

10 The thief comcth not, but for to steal, 
and to kill, and to destroy : I am come that they 
might have life, and ihst they might have it 
more abundantly. 



He proveth by his works who he is. 



I 11 "^ I am the good shepherd : the good shep- 
^ herd giveth his life for the sheep. 
f 12 But he that is an hireling, and not the 
J shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth 
^ the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and 
f fleeth : and the wolf catcheth them, and scatter- 
i eth the sheep. 

I J 3 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hire- 
^ ling, and careth not for the sheep. 
J 14 '^ I am the good shepherd, and know my 
^ sheep, and am known of mine. 
^ 15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I 
f the Father : and I lay down my life for the sheep. 
,» 16 ^ And other sheep I have, which are not of 
^ this fold : them also I must bring, and they shall 
J hear my voice ; and there shall be one fold, and 
^ one shepherd. 

( 17 ^ Therefore doth my Father love me, 
I because I lay down my life that I might take it 
^ again. 

^ 18 s No man taketh it from me, but I lay it 
^ down of myself. I have power to lay it down,

among the Jews for these sayings.

34 ^ Jesus answered them. Is it not written in 
your law, I said. Ye are gods ? 

35 ' If he called them gods, unto whom the 
word of God came, and the Scripture cannot be 
broken ; 

36 " Say ye of him, whom the Father hath

He is raised from the dead. 

1 1 These things said he : and after that he 
saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth ; 
but I go that I may awake him out of sleep.- 

12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, 
he shall do well. 

13 Howbeit Jesus spake of his death : but 
they thought that he had spoken of taking of 
rest in sleep. 

14 * Then said Jesus unto them plainly, 
Lazarus is dead : 

15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was 
not there, to the intent ye may believe ; never- 
theless let us go unto him. 

16 Then said Thomas, which is called Didy- 
mus, unto his fellow-disciples. Let us also go, 

^ that we may die with him. 

17 Then when Jesus came, he found that he 
had lain in the grave four days already. 

18 Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, 
about fifteen furlongs off. 

19 And many of the Jews came to Martha and 
Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother. 

20 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that 
Jesus was coming, went and met him : but Mary 

i sat still in the house. 

(' 21 Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if

34 And said, Where have ye laid him ? They

36 Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved 
him ! 

37 " And some of them said, Could not this 
man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have 
caused that even this man should not have 
died ? 

38 Jesus therefore, again groaning in himself, 
Cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a 
stone lay upon it. 

39 Jesus said. Take ye away the stone. 
Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith un- 
to him. Lord, by this time he stinketh : for he 
hath been dead four days. 

40 ° Jesus saith unto her. Said I not unto 
thee, that, if thou Avouldest believe, thou should 
est see the glory of God ? 

41 Then they took away the stone from the 
place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted 
up his eyes, and said. Father, I thank thee that 
ihou hast heard me. 

42 And I knew that thou hearest me always : 
but because of the people which stand by I said 
it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. 

43 And when he thus had spoken, he erred 
with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth ! 

44 And he that was dead came forth, bound 
hand and foot with grave-clothes ; and his face 
was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith 
unto them, Loose him, and let him go. 

45 P Then many of the Jews which came to 
Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, 
believed on him. 

46 But some of them went their ways to the 
Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had 
done. 

47 H 1 Then gathered the chief priests and 
the Pharisees a council, and said. What do we ? 
for this man doeth many miracles. 

40 If we let him thus alone, all men will be- 
lieve on him ; and the Romans shall come, and 
take away both our place and nation.

54 Jesus therefore walked no more openly 
among the Jews ; but went thence unto a coun- 
try near to the wilderness, into a city called 
Ephraim, and there continued with his disci- 
ples. 

55 ' And the Jews' passover was nigh 
hand: and many went out of the country up 
to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify 
themselves. 

56 Then sought they for Jesus, and spake 
among themselves as they stood in the temple. 
What think ye, that he will not come to the 
feast ? 

51 Now both the chief priests and the Phari- 
sees had given a commandment, that if any man 
knew where he were, he should shew it, that 
they might take him. 

CHAPTER XII. 

1 Jesus excuseth Mary anointing his feet. 9 The peo- 
ple flock to see Lazarus. 10 The chief priests con- 
sult to kill him. 12 Christ rideth into Jerusalem. 20 
Greeks desire to see Jesus : 23 He foretelleth his 
death. 37 The Jews are generally blinded : 42 yet 
many chief rulers believe, but do not confess him : 44 
therefore Jesus calleth earnestly for confession of faith. 

^ rflHEN Jesus, six days before the passover, a Mat. 26, 
-^ came to Bethany, where Lazarus was Mark 14, 3 
which had been dead, whom he raised from 
the dead. 

2 '' There they made him a supper ; and 
Martha served : but Lazarus was one of them 
that sat at the table with him. 

3 *= Then took Mary a pound of ointment of ^I'^'^^'^y 
spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of chap. 11, 2 
Jesus, and wiped his feet Avith her hair : and 

the house was filled with the odour of the 
ointment. 

4 Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Is- 
cariot, Simon's son, which should betray him, 

5 Why was not this ointment sold for three 
hundred pence, and given to the poor ? 

6 '^This he said, not that he cared for the dch.13,29. 
poor ; but because he was a thief, and had the 

bag, and bare what was put therein. 

7 Then said Jesus, Let >her alone 
the day of my burying hath she kept this 

8 " For the poor always ye have with you ; 
but me ye have not always. ; 

9 H Much people of the Jews therefore knew 
that he was there : and they came not for Jesus' 
sake only, but that they might see Lazarus 
also, whom he had raised frocjn the dead. 

10 But the chief priests consulted that they 
might put Lazarus also to death ; 

11 Because that by reason ' of him many of 
the Jews went away and beli'^ved on Jesus.

16 These things understood not his disciples 
at the first : but when Jesus was glorified, then re- 
membered they that these things were written of 
him, and i/ia^ they had done these things unto him. 

17 The people therefore that was with him 
when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and 
raised him from the dead, bare record. . x^^.. 

18 For this cause the people also met him, for j him 
that they heard that he had done this miracle. 

19 The Pharisees therefore said among them- 
selves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing ? 
behold, the world is gone after him. 

20 H ' And there were certain Greeks among 
them that came up to worship at the feast : 

21 The same came therefore to Philip, which 
was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, 
saying, Sir, we would see Jesus. 

22 Philip cometh and tclleth Andrew : and 
Andrew and Philip tell Jesus. 

23 And Jesus answered them, saying, The 
hour is come that the Son of man should be 
glorified. 

24 Verily, verily, I say unto you. Except 
a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it 
abideth alone ; but if it die, it bringeth forth 
much fruit. 

25 '' He that loveth his life shall lose it; and

* IVrO W before the feast of the passover, when 
-L ^ Jesus knew that his hour was co:ne that he 
should depart out of this world unto the Father, 
having loved his own which were in the world, 
he loved them unto the end. 

2 '' And supper being ended, (the devil having 
t now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Si-

3 "^ Jesus knowing that the Father had given 
all things into his hands, and that he was come 
from God, and went to God ; 

4 •■ He riseth from supper, and laid aside his 
garments; and took a towel, and girded himself; 

5 After that, he poureth water into a bason, 
and began to wash his disciples' feet, and to wipe 
the^n with the towel wherewith he was girded. 

6 ^ Then cometh he to Simon Peter : and Peter 
saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet ! 

7 '■Jesus answered and said unto him. What 
I do thou knovvest not now ; but thou shalt 
know hereafter. 

8 s Peter saith unto him. Thou shalt never 
wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash 
thee not, th.ou hast no part with me. 

9 Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my 
feet only, but also my hands and m?/ head. 

10 "^Jbsus saith to him. He that is washed 
needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean 
every whit : and ye are clean, but not all. 

1 1 ' For he knew who should betray him :

12 So after he had washed their feet, and had 
taken his garments, and was set down again, he 
said unto them. Know ye what I have done to you.-"

little while, and ye shall not see me : and again, 
A little while, and je shall see me : and, Because 
I go to the Father ? 

18 They said therefore, What is this that he 
saith, A little while? We cannot tell ^\'hat he 
saith. 

19 Now Jesus knew that they were desirous 
to ask him, and said unto them. Do ye inquire 
among yourselves of that I said, A little while, 
and ye shall not see me : and again, A little 
while, and ye shall see me ? 

20 P Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye 
Luke 23,27. shall wecp and lament, but the world shall re- 
verse 22! joice : and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sor- 
row shall be turned into joy. 

21 A woman when she is in travail hath sor- 
row, because her hour is come : but as soon as 
she is delivered of the child, she remembereth 
no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born 
into the world. 

22 1 And ye now therefore have sorrow : but 
I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, 

&'26,'i9V'&i and your Joy no man taketh from you. 

23 ' And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. 
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye 
shall ask the Father in my name he will give it you. 

24 » Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my

CHAPTER XVII [. 

1 Judas betrayeth Jesus. 6 The officers fall to the 
ground. 10 Peter smiteth off Malchus' ear. 12 Jesus 
is taken and led unto Annas and Caiaphas. 15 Peter's 
denial. 19 Jesus examined before Caiaphas. 28 His 
arraignment before Pilate. 36 His kingdom. 40 The 
Jews ask Barabbas to be let loose. 



HEN Jesus had spoken these words, he 
went forth with his disciples over the 
brook Cedron, where was a garden into the 
which he entered, and his disciples. 

2 ^ And Judas also, which betrayed him, 
knew the place ; for Jesus oft-times resorted 
thither with his disciples. 

3 •= Judas then, having received a band of ( 
men, and officers, from the chief priests and ^ 
Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and 
torches and weapons. 

4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that 
should come upon him, went forth, and said 
unto them, Whom seek ye ? 

5 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. 
Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, 
which betrayed him, stood with them. 

6 As soon then as he had said unto them, I am 
he, they went backward, and fell to the ground. 

7 Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye ? 
And they said, Jesus of Nazareth. 

8 Jesus answered, I have told vou that I am 



he : If therefore ye seek me, let these go their way : 

9 '^ That the saying might be fulfilled which 
he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have I 
lost none. 

10 ^Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew 
it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off 
his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus. 

11 Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy 
sword into the sheath : the cup which my Father 
hath given me, shall 1 not drink it ? 

12 ^ Then the band and the captain and offi- 
cers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him, 

13 ^ And led him away to Annas first ; for he 
was father-in-law to Caiaphas, which was the 
high priest that same year. 

14 '' Now Caiaphas was he which gave coun- 
sel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one 
man should die for the people. 

15 ' And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so 
did another disciple : that disciple was known 
unto the high priest, and went in with Jesus into 
the palace of the high priest. 

16 But Peter stood at the door without. 
Then went out that other disciple, which was 
known unto the high priest, and spake unto her 
that kept the door, and brought in Peter 

17 Then saith the damsel that kept the door 
unto Peter, Art not thou also one of this man's 
disciples ? He saith, I am not. 

18'' And the servants and officers stood there, 
who had made a fire of coals ; for it was cold : 
and they warmed themselves : and Peter stood 
with them, and warmed himself. 

19 The high priest then asked Jesus of his 
disciples, and of his doctrine. 

20 ' Jesus answered him, I spake openly to 
the world : I ever taught in the synagogue, and 
in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; 
and in secret have I said nothing. 

21 " Why askest thou me ? ask them which 
heard me, what I have said unto them : behold, 
they know what I said. 

22 And when he had thus spoken, one of the 
officers which stood by struck Jesus with the 
palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the 
high priest so .^ ' 

23 Jesus answered him. If I have spoken evil, 
bear witness of the evil : but if well, why smitest 
thou me .'' 

24 ° Now Annas had sent him bound unto 
Caiaphas the high priest. 

25 ° And Snnon Peter stood and warmed 
himself. They said therefore unto him, Art not 
thou also one of his disciples ? He denied ,it, 
and said, I am not. 

26 One of the servants of the high priest, hie- 
ing his kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, saitjh, 
Did not I see thee in the garden with him ?

the cock crew. 

28 H p Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas 
unto the hall of judgment : and it was early : 
and they themselves went not into the judgment- 
Acts io,'2ii. hall, lest they should be defiled, but that they 

might eat the passover. 

29 Pilate then went out unto them, and said. 
What accusation bring ye against this man ? 

30 They answered and said unto him. If he 
were not a malefactor, we would not have de- 
livered him up unto thee. 

31 Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye 
him, and judge him according to your law. 
The Jews therefore said unto him. It is not law- 
ful for us to put any man to death : 

32 •» That the saying of Jesus might be fulfil- 
led, which he spake, signifying what death he 
should die. 

33 ' Then Pilate entered into the judgment-

34 Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing 
of thy.self, or did others tell it thee of me ? 

So Pilate answered, Am I a Jew .^ Thine 
own nation and the chief priests have delivered 
thee unto me : What hast thou done ? 

SQ * Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of 
this world : If my kingdom were of this \\orld, 
then would my servants fight, that I should not 
be delivered to the Jews : but now is mv king- 
dom not from hence. 

37 ' Pilate therefore said unto him. Art thou 
a king then ? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that 
I am a king. To this end was I born, and for 
this cause came I into the world, that I should 
bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is 
of the truth heareth my voice. 

38 "Pilate saith unto him, What is truth .^ 
And when he had said this, he went out again 
unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in 
him no fault at all.

unto you one at the passover : will ye therefore

they smote him with their liands.

unto them. Behold, I bring him forth to you, 
that ye may know that I find no fault in him. 

5 Then came Jesus forth, Avearingthe crown 
of thorns, and the pni-])le robe. And Pilate 
saith unto them, Behold the man ! 

6 ** When the chief priests therefore and offi- 
cers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify /«')??, 
crucify him. Pilate sairh unto them. Take ye 
him, and crucify him ; for I find no fault in him. 

7 ^ The Jews answered him, We have a law, ^ Lev. 24 
and by our law he ought to die, because he Oeut. i3, 
made himself the Son of God. 

8 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, 
he was the more afraid ; 

9 ^ And went again into the judgment-hall, 
and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou ? But 
Jesus gave him no answer. 

10 eThen sahh Pilate unto him, Speakest g<:h.i8,39 
thou not unto me ? knowest thou not that 1 

have power to crucify thee, and have power to 
release thee ? 

11 ''Jesus answered. Thou couldest have no 53^""^^^^' 
power at all against me, except it were given 

thee from above : therefore he that delivered 
me unto thee hath the greater sin. 

12 And from thenceforth Pilate sought to 
release him : but the Jews cried out, saying. If 
thou let this man go, thou art not Cesar's friend . 
whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh 

Cesar. 

13 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, 
he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the 
judgment-seat, in a place that is called The . 
Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha. 

14 And it was the preparation of the pass- 
over, and about the sixth hour : and he saith 
unto the Jews, Behold your King ! 

15 ' But they cried out, Away with him, away 
witli liim ; crucify him ! Pilate saith unto them, 
Shall I crucify your King ? The chief priests 
answered, We have no king but Cesar. 

16 "Then delivered he him therefore unto 
them to be crucified. And they took Jei 
and led him away.

CHAPTER 1. 

1 Christ preparing his apostles to the beholding of his 
ascension, gathereth them together into the mount 
Olivet, commandeth them to expect in Jerusalem the 
sending down of the Holy Ghost, promi«eth after few 
days to send it ; by virtue whereof they should be wit- 
nesses unto him, even to the uttermost parts of the 
earth. 9 After his ascension they are warned by two 
angelo to depart, and to set their minds upon his 
second coming. 12 They accordingly return, and 
giving themselves to prayer, choose Matthias. 

^rfflHE former treatise have I made, O Theo- 
-*- philus, of all that Jesus began laoth to do 

and teach, 

2 " Until the day in which he was taken up, 
after that he through the Holy Ghost had given 
commandments unto the apostles whom he had 
chosen ; 

3 " To whom also he shewed himself alive af- 
ter his passion by many infallible proofs, being 
seen of them forty days, and speaking of the 
things pertaining to the kingdom of God : 

4 '^ And, being assembled together with them, 
commanded them that they should not depart 
from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the 
Father, which, saith he, Ye have heard of me : 

5 ** For John truly baptized with water ; but 
ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not 
many days hence. 



6 ^ When they therefore were come together, 
they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at 
this time restore again the kingdom to Israel ? 

7 2 And he said unto them. It is not for you 
to know the times or the seasons which the Fa- 
ther hath put in his own power. 

8 ^ But ye shall receive power, after that the 
Holy Ghost is come upon you : and ye shall be 
witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all 
Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost 
part of the earth. 

9 ' And when he had spoken these things, 
while they beheld, he was taken up ; and a 
cloud received him out of their sight. 

10 ''And while they looked stedfastly toward 
heaven, as he went up, behold, two men stood 

> by them in white apparel ; 

\ 11 1 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why 

\ stand ye gazing up into heaven .'' This same Je

and Judas the brother of James. 

14 ° These all continued with one accord in 

Srayer and supplication, with the women, and 
lary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren. 

15 Up And in those days Peter stood up in 
the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number 
of the names together were about an hundred 
and twenty,) ( 

16 "i Men and brethren, this scripture must ! 
needs have been fulfilled which the Holy Ghost 1 
by the mouth of David spake before concerning \ 
Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus. | 

17 "■ For he was numbered with us, and had 
obtained part of this ministry. 

1 8 ' Now this man purchased a field with the 
reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he 
burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels 
gushed out. 

19 And it was known unto all the dwellers at 
Jerusalem ; insomuch as that field is called in 
their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say. 
The field of blood. 

20 ' For it is written in the book of Psalms, 
, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man 

dwell therein : and, His f bishoprick let ano- 
ther take. 

21 " Wherefore of these men which have 
companied with us all the time that the Lord 
Jesus went in and out among us, 

22 Beginning from the baptism of John unto 
that same day that he was taken up from us, 
must one be ordained to be a witness with us of 
his resurrection. 

23 And they appointed two, Joseph called Bar- 
sabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias. 

24 ^ And they prayed and said. Thou, Lord, 
which knowest the hearts of all men, shew whe- 
ther of these two thou hast chosen, 

25 y That he may take part of this ministry 
and apostleship, from which Judas by transgres- 
sion fell, that he might go to his own place. 

26 ^ And they gave forth their lots : and the 
lot fell upon Matthias ; and he was numbered 
with the eleven apostles.

divers languages, are admired by some, and derided 
by others. 14 Peter's sermon. 37 He baptizeth a 
great number that were converted, 41 who after- 
wards devoutly and charitably converse together : the 
apostles wo.'king many miracles, and God daily in- 
creasing his church. 

* \ ND when the day of Pentecost was fully 
-^^ come, they were all with one accord in 
one place. 

2 And suddenly there came a sound from 



heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled 
all the house where they were sitting. 

3 " And there appeared unto them cloven 
tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of 
them : 

4 •= And they were all filled with the Holy 
Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, 
as the Spirit gave them utterance. 

5 Ancl there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, 
devout men, out of every nation under heaven. 

6 '' Now when this was noised abroad, the 
multitude came together, and were confounded, 
because that every m.an heard them speak in his 
own language. 

7 * And they were all amazed, and marvelled, 
saying one to another. Behold, are not all these 
which speak, Galileans ? 

8 And how hear we every man in our own 
tongue, wherein we were born ? 

9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and 
the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judea, and 
Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, 

10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in 
the parts of Lybia about Cyrene, and strangers 
of Rome, Jews and proselytes, 

1 1 ^ Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them 
speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God. 

12 And they were all amazed, and were in 
doubt, saying one to another. What meaneth this ? 

13 Others mocking said, These men are full 
of new wine. 

14 ^But Peter, standing up with the eleven, 
lifted up his voice, and said unto them. Ye men 
of Judea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be 
this known unto you, and hearken to my words : 

15 ""For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, 
seeing it is but the third hour of the day. 

16 ' But this is that which was spoken by the 
prophet Joel : 

• 17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, 
(saith God,) I will pour out of my Spirit upon 
all flesh : and your sons and your daughters shall 
prophesy, and your young men shall see Visions, 
and your old men shall dream dreams : 

18 And on my servants and on my hand- 
maidens I will pour out, in those days, of my 
Spirit ; and they shall prophesy : 

19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, 
and signs in the earth beneath ; blood, and fire, 
and vapour of smoke : 

20 '' The sun shall be turned into darkness, 
and the moon into blood, before that great and 
notable day of the Lord come . 

21 ' And it shall come to pass, that whosoever 
shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. 

22 " Ye men of Israel, hear these words ;

which God did, by him, in the midst of you, as 
ye yourselves also know : 

23 ° Him, being delivered by the determinate 
counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, 
and by wicked hands have crucified and slain : 

24 ° Whom God hath raised up, having loosed 
the pains of death : because it was not possible 
that he should be holden of it. 

25 P For David speaketh concerning him, I 
foresaw the Lord always before my face ; for he is 
on my right hand, that I should not be moved : 

26 Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my 
tongue was glad ; moreover also my flesh shall 
rest in hope : 

27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in 
hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to 
see corruption. 

28 Thou hast made known to me the ways 
of life ; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy 
countenance. 

29 1 Men and brethren, let me freely speak 
unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both 
dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us 
unto this day. 

30 "■ Therefore being a prophet, and knowing 
that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of 
the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he 
would raise up Christ to sit on his throne ; 

31 ^ He seeing this before, spake of the resur- 
rection of Christ, that his soul was not left in 
hell, neither his flesh did see corruption. 

32 ' This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof 
we all are witnesses. 

33 " Therefore, being by the right hand of 
God exalted, and having received of the Father 
the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed 
forth this, which ye now see and hear. 

34 ^ For David is not ascended into the hea- 
vens : but he saith himself. The Lord said unto 
my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, 

35 Until I make thy foes thy footstool. 

36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know 
assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, 
whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. 

37 y Now when they heard this, they were 
pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and 
tj the rest of the apostles. Men and brethren, 
what shall we do ? 

38 ^ Then Peter said unto them. Repent, and 
be baptized every one of you in the name of Je- 
sus Christ, for the remission of sins ; and ye 
shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 

39 ^ For the promise is unto you, and to your 
children, and to all that are afar off, even as 
many as the Lord our God shall call. 

40 And with many other words did he testify 
and exhort, saying. Save yourselves from this 
untoward generation.

41 ^ Then they that gladly received his word 
were baptized : and the same day there were 
added unto them about three thousand souls. 

42 ' And they continued stedfastly in the 
apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in break- 
ing of bread, and in prayers. 

43 '' And fear came upon every soul : and many 
wonders and signs were done by the apostles. 

44 ^ And all that believed were together, and 
had all things common ; 

43 *■ And sold their possessions and goods, 
and parted them to all men, as every man had 
need. 

46 s And they, continuing daily with one ac- 
cord in the temple, and breaking bread from 
house to house, did eat their meat with gladness 
and singleness of heart, 

47 ^ Praising God, and having favour Math all 
the people. And the Lord added to the church 
daily such as should be saved. 

CHAPTER III. 

1 Peter preacheth to the people that came to see a lame 
man restored to his feet, 12 and professeth the cure 
not to have been wrought by his or John's own power, 
or holiness, but by God, and his son Jesus, and 
through faith in his name : 13 withal reprehending 
them for crucifying Jesus : 17 which because they did 
it through ignorance, and that thereby were fulfilled 
God's determinate counsel, and the scriptures, 19 he 
cxhorteth them by repentance and faith to seek re- 
mission of their sins, and salvation in the same Jesus 

"OW Peter and John went up together into 
the temple at the hour of prayer, being 
the ninth hour. 

2 And a certain man, lame from his mother's 
womb, was carried, whom they laid daily at the 
gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to 
ask alms of them that entered into the temple ; 

3 Who seeing Peter and John about to go 
into the temple, asked an alms. 

4 And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him, 
with John, said, Look on us. 

3 And he gave heed unto them, expecting to 
receive something of them. 

6 Then Peter said. Silver and gold have I 
none ; but such as I have give I thee : In the name 
of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. 

7 And he took him by the right hand, and 
lifted him up : and immediately his feet and 
ancle-bones received strength. 

8 ''And he leaping up, stood, and walked, bisa.36,6. 
and entered with them into the temple, walking, 

and leaping, and praising God. 

9 " And all the people saw him walking and 
praising God : 

10 And they knew that it was he which sat 
for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple : and 
they were filled with wonder and amazement 
at that which had happened unto him.

Peter's sermon to the people. CHAPTER IV. 

1 1 •* And, as the lame man which was healed 
held Peter and John, all the people ran together 
unto them, in the porch that is called Solomon's, 
greatly wondering. 

12 * And when Peter saw it, he answered 
unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel 
ye at this ? or why look ye so earnestly on us, 
as though by our own power or holiness we had 
made this man to walk ? 

13 ^ The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and 
of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified 
his Son Jesus ; whom ye delivered up, and de- 
nied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was 

&• i|^i6. & determined to let him go.

Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto I

15 ''And killed the Prince of life, whom God * 
hath raised from the dead ; whereof we are j 
witnesses. ^ 

16 ' And his name, through faith in his name, |

know ; yea, the faith which is by him hath [

17" And now, brethren, I wot that through 
ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers. 

18 ' But those things, which God before had 
shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that 
Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled. 

19 '^ Repent ye therefore, and be converted, 
that your sins may be blotted out, when the 
times of refreshing shall come from the presence 
of the Lord ; 

20 " And he shall send Jesus Christ, which 
before was preached unto you : 

21 ° Whom the heaven must receive until the 



The apostles examined. 



CHAPTER IV. 

The rulers of the Jews offended with Peter's sermon, 
4 (though thousands of the people were converted 
that heard the word) imprison him and John. 5 After, 
upon examination, Peter boldly avouching the lame 
man to be healed by the name of Jesus, and that by 
the same Jesus only we must be eternally saved, 13 
they command him and John to preach no more in that 
name, adding also threatening. 23 Whereupon the 
church fieeth to prayer : 3] And God, by moving the 
place where they were assembled, testitieth that he 
heard their prayer, confirming the church with the gift 
of the Holy Ghost, and with mutual love and charity. 

ND as they spake unto the people, the 
priests, and the captain of the temple, 
and the Sadducees, came upon them, 

2 " Being grieved that they taught the peo- 
ple, and preached through Jesus the resurrec- 
tion from the dead.

Jerusalem ; and we cannot deny it. 

17 " But that it spread no further among the

CHAPTER V. 

1 After that Ananias and Sapphira his wife, for their hy- 
pocrisy, at Peter's rebuke, had fallen down dead, 12 
and that the rest of the apostles had wrought many mi- 
racles ; 14 to the increase of the faith : 17 The apos- 
tles are again imprisoned, 19 but delivered by an an- 
gel, bidding them to preach openly to all : 21 When, 
after their teaching accordingly in the temple, 29 and 
before the council, 33 they are in danger to be killed ; 
through the advice of Gamaliel, a great counsellor 
among the Jews, they be kept alive, 40 and are but 
beaten : for which they glorify God, and cease no day 
from preaching. 
UT a certain man named Ananias, with 
Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, 

2 ^ And kept back part of the price, his wife 
also being piivy to it, and brought a certain 
part, and laid it at the apostles' feet. 

3 " But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan 
filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and 
to keep back part of the price of the land ? 

4 While it remained, was it not thine own ? 
and after it was sold, was it not in thine own 
power ? Why hast thou conceived this thing 
in thine heart ? Thou hast not lied unto men, 
but unto God. 

5 ""And Ananias hearing these words, fell 
down, and gave up the ghost : and great fear 
came on all them that heard these things. 

6 And the young men arose, wound him up, 
and carried him out, and buried him. 

7 And it was about the space of three hours 
after, when his wife, not knowing what was 
done, came in. 

8 And Peter answered unto her. Tell me 
whether ye sold the land for so much ? And 
she said. Yea, for so much. 

9 '' Then Peter said unto her. How is it that 
ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit 
of the Lord ? Behold, the feet of them which 
have buried thy husband are at the door, and 
shall carry thee out. 

10 Then fell she down straightway at his feet, 
and yielded up the ghost : and the young meft

16 There came also a multitude out of the

folks, and them which were vexed with unclean 
spirits : and they were healed every one. 
i chap. 4,1. 17 H ' Then the high priest rose up, and all 
they that were with him, (which is the sect of the 
Sadducees,) and were filled with indignation, 

1 8 And laid their hands on the apostles, and 
put them in the common prison. 

13 ^ But the angel of the Lord by 
opened the prison doors, and brought 
forth, and said, 

20 ' Go, stand and speak in the temple to 
the people all the words of this life. 

21 " And when they heard that, they entered 
into the temple early in the morning, and taught. 
But the high priest came, and they that were 
with him, and called the council together, and 
all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent 
to the prison to have them brought. 

22 But when the officers came, and found 
them not in the prison, they returned, and told, 

23 " Saying, The prison truly found we shut 
with all safety, and the keepers standing with- 
out before the doors : but when we had opened, 
we found no man within. 

24 Now when the f high priest and the cap- 
tain of the temple and the chief priests heard 
these things, they doubted of them whereunto 
this would grow. 

25 ° Then came one and told them, saying. 
Behold, the men whom ye put in prison are 
standing in the temple, and teaching the people. 

26 p Then went the captain with the officers, 
and brought them without violence : for they fear- 
ed the people, lest they should have been stoned. 

27 And when they had brought them, they 
set them before the council : and the high priest 
asked them,

29 'Then Peter and the o^/^er apostles answered 
and said, We ought to obey God rather than men. 

30 ' The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, 
whom ye slew and hanged on a tree. 

31 * Him hath God exalted with his right 
hand, to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give 
repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. 

32 " And we are his witnesses of these things ; 
and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath 
given to them that obey him. 

Q^ When they heard that, they were cut to 
the heart, and took counsel to slay them.

Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, l^\f-^^^\ 
had in reputation among all the people, and com- 
manded to put the apostles forth a little space ; 

35 And said unto them. Ye men of Israel, 
take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as 
touching these men. 

36 For before these days rose up Theudas, 
boasting himself to be somebody ; to whom a 
number of men, about four hundred, joined them- 
selves : who was slain : and all, as manv as obey- 
ed him, were scattered, and brought to nought. 

37 After this man rose up Judas of Galilee, in 
the days of the taxing, and drew away much 
people after him : he also ])erished ; and all, even 
as ninny as obeyed him, were dispersed. 

38 ' And now I say unto you. Refrain from 
these men, and let them alone : for if this counsel 
or this work be of men, it will come to nought : 

39 ^ But if it be of God, ye cannot over- 
throw it ; lest haply ye be found even to fight 
against God. 

40 "And to him they agreed : and when they 
had called the apostles, and beaten them, they 
commanded that they should not speak in the 
name of Jesus, and let them go.

exceeding fair, and nourished up in his father's 
house three months : 

21 p And when he was cast out, Pharaoh's 
daughter took him up, and nourished him for her 
own son. 

22 And Moses was learned in all the wisdom 
of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and 
in deeds. 

23 And when he was full forty years old, it 
came into his heart to visit his brethren the chil- 
dren of Israel. 

2^ '^ And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he ' 
defended liini, and avenged him that was op- 
pressed, and smote the Egyptian : 

25 For he supposed his brethren would have 
understood how that God by his hand would de- 
liver them ; but thej^ understood not. 

26 'And the next day he shewed himself unto 
them as they strove, and would have set them at 
one again, saying. Sirs, ye are brethren ; why 
do ye wrong one to another ? 

27 But he that did his neighbour wrong 
thrust him away, saying. Who made thee a 
ruler and a judge over us ? 

28 "Wilt thou kill me, as thou didst the 
Egyptian yesterday ? 

29 ' 'i'hen fled iNIoses at this saying ; and was 
a stranger in the land of Madian, where he be- 
gat two sons. 

30 ' And when forty years were expired, 
there apjieared to him in the wilderness of 
Mount Sina an angel of the Lord, in a flame of 
fire in a bush. 

31 AVhen Moses saw it, he \a ondered at the 
sight : and as he drew near to behold it, the 
voice of the Lord came unto him, 

32 Sayhis;, \am\\\c God of thy fathers, the 
God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the 
God of Jacob. Then Moses trembled, and durst 
not behold. 

33 Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy 
shoes from thy feet ; for the place where thou 
standest is holy ground. 

34 I have seen, I have seen the affliction of my 
people which is in Egypt, and I have heard their 
groaning, and am come down to deliver them. 
And now come, I will send thee into Egypt. 

35 " This Moses, whom they refused, saying, 
Who made thee a rulc-r and a judge ? the same 
did God send to he a ruler and a deliverer, by 
the hand of the angel which appeared to him in 
the bush. 

36 ^ He brought them out, after that he had 
shewed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, 
and in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness forty 
years. 

37 y This is that Moses which said unto the 
children of Israel, A Prophet shall the Lord 



your God raise up unto you of your brethren, 
like unto me ; him shall ye hear. 

38 ^ This is he that was in the church in the 
wilderness, with the angel which spake to him 
in the Mount Sina, and with our fathers ; who 
received the lively oracles to give unto us : 

39 To whom our fathers would not obey, but 
thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned 
back again into Egypt, 

40 * Saying unto Aaron, Make us gods to go 
before us : for asjor this Moses which brought 
us out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is 
become of him. 

41 And they made a calf in those days, and 
offered sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the 
works of their own hands. 

42 ^ Then God turned, and gave them up to 
worship the host of heaven : as it is written in 
the book of the prophets, O ye house of Israel, 
have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices 
hy the space of forty years in the wilderness ? 

43 Yea, he took up the tabernacle of Moloch, 
and the star of your god Remphan, figures which 
ye made to worship them : and I will carry you 
away beyond Babylon. 

44 "^Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness 
in the wilderness, as he had appointed, speaking 
unto Moses, that he should make it according to 
the fashion that he had seen. 

45 "^ Which also our fathers that came after 
brought in with Jesus into the possession of the 
Gentiles, whom God drave out before the face 
of our fathers, unto the days of David ; 

46 ®Who found favour before God, and de- 
sired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob. 

47 'But Solomon built him an house. 

48 s Howbeit, the Most High dwelleth 
not in temples made with hands ; as saith the 
prophet, 

49 *" Heaven is my throne, and earth is my 
footstool : what house will ye build me ? saith 
the Lord : or what is the place of my rest ? 

50 Hath not my hand made all these things ? 

51 ' Ye stiff-necked, and uncircumcised in 
heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy 
Ghost : as your fathers did, so do ye. 

52 ^ Which of the prophets have not your 
fathers persecuted ? and they have slain them 
which shewed before of the coming of the Just 
One, of whom ye have been now the betrayers 
ci*nd imirderers : 

53 ' Who have received the law by the dis- 
position of angels, and have not kept it. 

54 " When they heard these things, they 
were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him 
with their teeth.

57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, 
and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with 
one accord, 

58 ° And cast him out of the city, and stoned ^ 
him : and the witnesses laid down their clothes ^ 
at a young man's feet, whose name Avas Saul. J 

59 p And they stoned Stephen, calling upon ^ 
God, and saying. Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. ( 

60 And he kneeled down, and cried with a t 
loud voice. Lord, lay not this sin to their charge ! t 
And when he had said this, he fell asleep. 

CHAPTER VIII. 

1 By occasion of the persecution in Jerusalem, the 
church being planted in Samaria, 5 by Philip the dea- ^ 
con, who preached, did miracles, and baptized many, / 
among the rest Simon the sorcerer, a great seducer of ( 
the people : 14 Peter and John come to confirm and ^ 
enlarge the church ; where, by prayer and imposition ( 
of hands, giving the Holy Ghost, 18 when Simon would ( 
have bought the like power of them, 20 Peter sharply i 
reproving his hypocrisy, and covetousness, and ex- *• 
horting him to repentance, together with John, preach- i 
ing the word of the Lord, return to Jerusalem. 26 * 
But the angel sendeth Philip to teach, and baptize the J 
Ethiopian eunuch. ^ 

^ \ ND Saul was consenting unto his death. ^ 
-^^ And at that time there was a great per- t 
secution against the church which was at Jeru- i 
salem ; and they were all scattered abroad ^ 
throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, i 
except the apostles. ^ 

2 ^ And devout men carried Stephen to his ^ 
burial, and made great lamentation over him. * 

3 •= Asfor Saul, he made havock of the church, \ 
entering into every house ; and haling men and 
women, committed them to prison. 

4 '^ Therefore they that were scattered abroad 
went every where preaching the word. 

5 H ^ Then Philip went down to the city of 
Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. 

6 And the people with one accord gave heed 
unto those things which Philip spake, hearing, 
and seeing the miracles which he did. 

7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, / 
came out of many that were possessed ivith i 
them : and many taken with palsies, and that / 
were lame, were healed. ^ 

8 And there was great joy in that city. ^ 

9 ^ But there was a certain man called Simon, i 
which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, * 
and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving i 
out that himself was some great one : t 

10 To whom they all gave heed, from the ) 
least to the greatest, saying. This man is the \ 
great power of God. J 



1 1 And to him they had regard, because that of 
long time he had bewitched them with sorceries. 

12 s But when they believed Philip preaching 
the things concerning the kingdom of God, and 
the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, 
both men and women. 

13 Then Simon himself believed also : and 
when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, 
and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs 
which were done. 

14 11 Now when the apostles which were 
at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received 
the W'Ord of God, they sent unto them Peter 
and John : 

15 Who, when they were come down, prayed 
for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost : 

16 For as yet he was fallen upon none of 
them ; only they w^ere baptized in the name of 
the Lord Jesus. 

17 Then laid they their hands on them, and 
they received the Holy Ghost. 

18 And when Simon saw, that through laying 
on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was 
given, he offered them money, 

1 9 '' Saying, Give me also this power, that 
on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the 
Holy Ghost. 

20 But Peter said unto him, Thy money pe- 
rish with thee, because thou hast thought that 
the gift of God may be purchased with money. 

21 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this mat- 
ter : for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. 

22 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness ; 
and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine 
heart may be forgiven thee. 

23 For I perceive that thou art in the gall of 
bitterness, and m the bond of iniquity. 

24 Then answered Simon, and said. Pray ye 
to the Lord for me, 
which ye have spoken come upon me 

25 And they, when they had testified and 
preached the word of the Lord, returned to Je- 
rusalem, and preached the gospel in many vil- 
lages of the Samaritans. 

26 H And the angel of the Lord spake unto 
Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south, 
unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem 
unto Gaza, which is desert. 

27 And he arose and went : and, behold, a 
man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority 
under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who 
had the charge of all her treasure, and had come 
to Jerusalem for to worship.

him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Under- 
standest thou what thou readest ? 

31 And he said, How can I, except some man 
should guide me ? And he desired Philip that 
he would come up and sit with him. 

32 ' The place of the scripture which he read 
was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter ; 
and like a lamb dumb before the shearer, so 
opened he not his mouth : 

33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken 
away : and who shall declare his generation ? 
for his life is taken from the earth. 

34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, 
I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this ? 
of himself, or of some other man ? 

35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at 
the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus. 

3G And as they went on their way, they 
came unto a certain water : and the eunuch 
said, See, here is water ; what doth hinder me 
to be baptized ? 

37 '' And Philip said, If thou believest with all 
thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and 
said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. 

38 And he commanded the chariot to stand 
still : and they went down both into the water, 
both Phiiij) and the eunuch; and he baptized him. 

39 ' And wiien they were come up out of the 
water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, 
that the eunuch saw him no more : and he went 
on his way rejoicing. 

40 '" But Philip was found at Azotus : and 
passing through, he preached in all the cities, 
till he came to Cesarea. 

CHAPTER IX. 

I Saul going towards Damascus, 4 is stricken down to the 
earth, 10 is called to the apostleship, 18 and is bap- 
tized by Ananiiis : 20 He preacheth Christ boldly. 23 
The Jews lay wait to kill him ; 29 so do the Grecians ; 
but he escapeth both. 31 The church having rest, 
Peter healetii Eneas of the palsy, 36 and restoreth 
Tabitha to life. 

* \ ND Saul yet breathing out threatenings 
-^^ and slaughter agahist the disciples of the 
Lord, went unto the high priest, 

2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to 
the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, 
whetlier they were men or women, he might 
bring them bound unto Jerusalem. 

3 ''And as lie journeyed, he came near Da- 
mascus ; and suddenly there shined round about 

flim a light from heaven : 

4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice 
saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest 
thou me ? 

5 And he said, Who art thou. Lord ? And the 
Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest : 
it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. 

6 And he trembling and astonished, said, 



Lord, what wilt thou have me to do ? And the 
Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, 
and it shall be told thee what thou must do. 

7 " And the men which journeyed with 
him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but see- 
ing no man. 

8 And Saul arose from the earth ; and when his 
eyes were opened, he saw no man : but they led 
him by the hand, and brought hivi'mto Damascus. 

9 And he was three days without sight, and 
neither did eat nor drink. 

10 And there was a certain disciple at Da- 
mascus, named Ananias : and to him said the 
Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said. Be- 
hold, I am here, Lord. 

11 "^ And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and 
go into the street which is called Straight, and 
inquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul 
of Tarsus : for, behold, he prayeth, 

12 And hath seen in a vision a man named 
Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, 
that he might receive his sight. 

13 * Then Ananias answered. Lord, I have 
heard by many of this man, how much evil he 
hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem : 

14 And here he hath authority from the chief 
priests to bind all that call on thy name. 

15 ^ But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way : 
for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my 
name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the 
children of Israel : 

16 ^For 1 will show him how 
he must suffer for my name's sake 

17 ^ And Ananias went his way, and entered 
into the house ; and putting his hands on him, 
said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that 
appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, 
hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy 
sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost. 

18 And immediately there fell from his eyes 
as it had been scales ; and he received sight 
forthwith, and arose, and was baptized. 

19 ' And when he had received meat, he was 
strengthened. Then was Saul certain davs with 
the disciples which were at Damascus. 

20 And straightway he preached Christ in 
the synagogues, that he is the Son of God. 

21 '' But all that heard him were amazed, and 
said. Is not this he that destroyed them which 
called on this name in Jerusalem, and came 
hither for that intent, that he might bring them 
bound unto the chief priests ? 

22 'But Saul increased the more in strength, 
and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Da- 
mascus, proving that this is very Christ. 

23 And after that many days were fulfilled, 
the Jews took counsel to kill him.

them, saying, 

5 '^ I was in the city of Joppa, praying: and in 
a trance I saw a vision, A certain vessel descend, 
as it had been a great sheet let down from hea- 
ven by four corners ; and it came even to me : 

6 Upon the which when I had fastened mine 
eyes, I considered, and saw four-footed beasts of 
the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, 
and fowls of the air. 

7 And I heard a voice saying unto me. Arise, 
Peter ; slay, and eat. 

8 But I said. Not so. Lord : for nothing com- 
mon or unclean hath at any time entered into 
my mouth. 

9 But the voice answered me again from hea- 
ven, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou 
common. 

10 And this was done three times : and all 
were drawn up again into heaven. 

1 1 And, behold, immediately there were three 
men already come unto the house where I was, 
sent from Cesarea unto me. 

12 And the Spirit bade me go with them, no- 
thing doubting. Moreover, these six brethren 
accompanied me ; and we entered into the man's 
house : 

13 And he shewed us how he had seen an 
angel in his house, which stood and said unto 
him. Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, 
whose surname is Peter ;

and all thy house shall be saved.

Lord Jesus Christ, what was I, that I could

18 When they heard these things, they held 
their peace, and glorified God, saying. Then

ance unto life.

upon the persecution that arose about Stephen, 
travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and

1 King Herod persecuteth the Christians, killeth James, 
and imprisoneth Peter, whom an angel delivereth upon 
the prayers of the church. 20 In his pride, taking to 
himself the honour due to God, he is stricken by an an- 
gel, and dieth miserably. 24 After his death the word 
of God prospereth. 

j^OW about that time, Herod the king 
-^^ stretched forth his hands, to vex certain 
of the church. 

2 ^ And he killed James the brother of John ^ Mat. 20, 
with the sword. 

3 And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he 
proceeded further to take Peter also. Then 
were the days of imleavened bread. 

4 ^ And when he had apprehended him, he put b Mat 2(> 
him in prison, and delivered him to four quater-

Easter to bring him forth to the people. 

5 Peter therefore was kept in prison ; but 
prayer was made without ceasing of the church 
unto God for him. 

6 And when Herod would have brought him 
forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between 
two soldiers, bound with two chains : and the 
keepers before the door kept the prison.

loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in 
Pamphjlia ; and John departing from them, re- 
turned to Jerusalem. 

14 But when they departed from Perga, they 
came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the 
synagogue on the sabbath-day, and sat down. 

15 And after the reading of the law and the 
prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent unto 
them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have 
any word of exhortation for the people, say on. 

16 ' Then Paul stood up, and beckoning Avith 
his hand, said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear 
God, give audience. 

17 *" The God of this people of Israel chose 
our fathers, and exalted the people when they 
dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and 
with an high arm brought he them out of it. 

18 ' And about the time of forty years suffered 
he their manners in the wilderness. 

19 "And when he had destroved seven na- 
tions in the land of Chanaan, he divided their 
land to them by lot. 

20 "And after that, he gave unto them judges, 
about the space of four hundred and fifty years, 
until Samuel the prophet. 

21 ° And afterward they desired a king : and 
God gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, araanof 
the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years. 

22 P And when he had removed him, he raised 
up unto them David to be their king ; to whom 
also he gave testimony, and said, I have found 
David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own 
heart, wiiich shall fulfil all my will. 

23 1 0f this man's seed hath God. accordingto 
his promise, raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus : 

24 'When John had first preached, before his 
coming, the baptism of repentance to all the 
people of Israel. 

25 ^ And as John fulfilled his course, he said, 
Whom think ye that I am ? I am not he: but, 
behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes 
of his feet I am not worthv to loose. 

26 ^ Men and brethren, children of the stock 
of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth 
God, to you is the word of this salvation sent. 

27 " For they that dwell at "Jerusalem, and 
their rulers, because they knew him not, nor 
yet the voices of the prophets which are read 
every sabbath-day, they have fulfilled them in 
condemning him. 

28 ^ And though they found no cause of 
death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he 
should be slain. 

29 y And when they had fulfilled all that was 
written of him, they took him down from the 
tree, and laid him in a sepulchre. 

30 ^ But God raised him from the dead : 

31 =* And he was seen many days of them 



which came up with him from Galilee to Jeru- 
salem, who are his witnesses unto the people. 

32 ''And we declare unto you glad tidings, how 
that the promise which was made unto the fathers, 

33 •= God hath fulfilled the same unto us their 
children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again ; 
as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou 
art my Son, this day have I begotten thee. 

34 "^ And as concerning that he raised him up 
from the dead, now no more to return to cor- 
ruption, he said on this wise, I will give you 
the sure mercies of David. 

35 ^Wherefore he saith also in 'dnother psalm, 
Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see 
corruption. 

36 ^ For David, after he had served his own 
generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and 
was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption : 

37 But he whom God raised again, saw no 
corruption. 

38 sBe it known unto you therefore, men and 
brethren, that through this man is preached unto 
you the forgiveness of sins : 

39 ^ And by him, all that believe are justified 
from all things, from which ye could not be jus- 
tified by the law of Moses. 

40 Beware therefore, lest that come upon you 
which is spoken of in the prophets ; 

41 ' Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and 
} perish : for I Avork a work in your days, a work 
i which ye shall in no w'ise believe, though a man 
J declare it unto you. 

( 42 IT And when the Jews were gone out of 

" the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these 

words might be preached to them the next sabbath.

both of the Jews and also of the Greeks, believed.

against the brethren. 

3 ^ Long time therefore abode they speaking 
boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto 
the word of his grace, and granted signs imd

of the Gentiles and also of the Jews, with their

6 *" They were ware of ?V, and fled unto

from Antioch and Iconium, who persuaded the 
people, and having stoned Paul, drew him out 
of the city, supposing he had been dead. 

20 p Howbeit, as the disciples stood round 
about him, he rose up, and came into the city: and 
the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe. 

21 And when they had preached the gospel to 
that city, and had taught many, they returned 
again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and Antioch, 

22 1 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and 
exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that 
we must through much tribulation enter into the 
kingdom of God. 

23 ■■ And when they f had ordained them 
elders in every church, and had prayed with 
fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on 
whom they believed. 

24 And after they had passed throughout Pi- 
sidia, they came to Pamphylia. 

25 And when they had preached the word in 
Perga, they went down into Attalia : 

26 ' And thence sailed to Antioch, from 
whence they had been recommended to the 
grace of God for the work which they fulfilled 

27 ' And when they were come, and had ga- 
thered the church together, they rehearsed all 
that God had done with them, and how he had 
opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles. 

28 And there they abode long time with the 
disciples. 

CHAPTER XV. 

1 Great dissension ariseth touching circumcision : 6 The 
apostles consult about it, 22 and send their determina- 
tion by letters to the churches. 36 Paul and Barnabas 
thinking to visit the brethren together, fall at strife, 
and part asunder. 

* 4 ND certain men which came down from 
-^^ Judea, taught the brethren, and said, 
Except ye be circumcised after the manner of 
Moses, ye cannot be saved,

2 ''When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no 
small dissension and disputation with them, they 
determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain 
other of them, should go up to Jerusalem, unto 
the apostles and elders, about this question. 

3 And being brought on their way by the 
church, they passed through Phenice and Sama- 
ria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles : 
and they caused great joy unto all the brethren. 

4 •= And when they were come to Jerusalem, 
they were received of the church, and of the 
apostles and elders ; and they declared all things 
that God had done with them. 

5 '^ But there rose up certain of the sect of the 
Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was 
needful to circumcise them, and to command 
them to keep the law of Moses. 

6 And the apostles and elders came together 
for to consider of this matter. 

7 ^ And when there had been much disput- 
ing, Peter rose up, and said unto them. Men and 
brethren, ye know how that a good while ago 
God made choice among us, that the Gentiles 
by my mouth should hear the word of the gos- 
pel, and believe. 

8 ^ And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare 
them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even 
as he did unto us ; 

9 sAnd put no difference between us and 
them, purifying their hearts by faith. 

10 '' Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put 
a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which 
neither our fathers nor we were able to bear ? 

1 1 ' But we believe that through the grace of 
the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even 
as they. 

12 '^ Then all the multitude kept silence, and 
gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring 
what miracles and wonders God had wrought 
among the Gentiles by them. 

13 ' And after they had held their peace, 
James answered, saying. Men and brethren, 
hearken unto me : 

14 " Simeon hath declared how God at the 
first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them 
a people for his name. 

15 And to this agree the words of the pro- 
phets ; as it is written, 

16 "After this I will return, and will build 
again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen 
down ; and I will build again the ruins thereof, 
and I will set it up : 

17 That the residue of men might seek after 
the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my 
name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all 
these things. 

18 Known unto God are all his works, from 
the beginning of the world. 



t 19 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trou- 
< ble not them, which from among the Gentiles 
^ are turned to God : 

J 20 ° But that we write unto them, that they 
^ abstain from pollutions of idols, and from for- 
/ nication, and from things strangled, and from 
^ blood. 

* 21 P For Moses of old time hath in every city 
^ them that preach him, being read in the syna- 
gogues every sabbath-day. 

22 H Then pleased it the apostles and elders, 

with the whole church, to send chosen men of 

) their own company to Antioch, with Paul and 

<» Barnabas ; namelij, Judas surnamed Barsabas, 

( and Silas, chief men among the brethren : 




23 And wrote letters by them after this man- 



ner. The apostles and elders, and brethren, send 
greeting unto the brethren which are of the 
Gentiles in Antioch, and Syria, and Cilicia : 

24 1 Forasmuch as we have heard, that cer- 
tain which went out from us have troubled you 
with words, subverting your souls, saying. Ye 
i musthe circumcised, and keep the law : to wiiom 
^ we gave no such commandment : 
' 25 It seemed good unto us, being assembled 
J with one accord, to send chosen men unto you, 
J with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, 
J 26 ' Men that have hazarded their lives for 
/ tiie name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 
^ 27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, 
f who shall also tell you the same things by mouth. 
> 28 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, 
^ and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden 
i than these necessary things ; 
^ 29 ^ That ye abstain from meats offered to 
^ idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, 
} and from fornication : from which if ye keep 
* yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well. 
f 30 H So when they were dismissed, they came 
^ to Antioch : and when they had gathered the 
i multitude together, they delivered the epistle : 
} 31 Which when they had read, they rejoiced 
i for the consolation. 

^ 32 * And Judas and Silas, being prophets 
} also themselves, exhorted the brethren with 
f many words, and confirmed them, 
t 33 And after they had tarried there a space, 
they were let go in peace from the brethren 
unto the apostles. 

34 Notwithstanding, it pleased Silas to abide 
i there still. 

t 35 " Paul also and Barnabas continued in 
^ Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of 
f the Lord, with many others also. 
«• 36 TT ^ And some days after, Paul said unto 
' Barnabas, Let us go again and visit our brethren, 
f in every city where we have preached the word 
^ of the Lord, and see how they do.

self, supposing that the prisoners had been fled. 

28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying. 
Do thyself no harm ; for we are all here. 

29 Then he called for a light, and sprang 
in, and came trembling, and fell down before 
Paul and Silas ; 

30 ' And brought them out, and said, Sirs, 
what must I do to be saved ? 

31 And they said. Believe on the Lord Jesus 
Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. 

32 And they spake unto him the word of the

33 And he took them the same hour of the 
night, and washed their stripes ; and was bap- 
tized, he and all his, straightway. 

34 = And when he had brought them into his 
house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, 
believing in God, with all his house. 

35 And when it was day, the magistrates 
sent the Serjeants, saying, Let those men go. 

36 And the keeper of the prison told this say- 
ing to Paul, The magistrates have sent to let 
you go : now therefore depart, and go in peace. 

37 •'But Paul said unto them. They have 
beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, 
and have cast us into prison ; and now do they 
thrust us out privily ? nay verily ; but let them 
come themselves, and fetch us out. 

38 And the Serjeants told these words unto 
the magistrates : and they feared, when they 
heard that they were Romans. 

39 " And they came and besought them, and 
brought them out, and desired them to depart 
out of the city. 

40 And they went out of the prison, and 
entered into the house of Lydia : and when 
they had seen the brethren, they comforted 
them, and departed. 

CHAPTER XVn. 

1 Paul preacheth at Thessalonica ; 4 where some he- 
lieve, and others persecute him : 10 He is sent to 
Berea, and preacheth there : 13 Being persecuted at 
Thessalonica, 15 he cometh to Athens, and disputeth 
and preacheth the living God to them unknown, 34 
whereby many are converted unto Christ. 
"T^OW when they had passed through Amphi- 
-L ^ polis and Apollonia, they came to Thessa- 
lonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews : 

2 " And Paul, as his manner was, went in 
unto them, and three sabbath-days reasoned with 
them out of the Scriptures, 

3 ^ Opening and f alleging,' that Christ must 
n2eds have suffered, and risen again from the 
dead ; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto 
you, is Christ. 

4 'And some of them believed, and con- 
sorted with Paul and Silas ; and of the devout 
Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief wo- 
men not a few. 



5 But the Jews which believed not, moved 
with envy, took unto them certain lewd fellows 
of the baser sort, and gathered a company, and 
set all the city on an uproar, and assaulted 
the house of Jason, and sought to bring them 
out to the people. 

6 ** And when they found them not, they drew 
Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of 
the city, crying. These that have turned the 
world upside down, are come hither also ; 

7 ® Whom Jason hath received : and these 
all do contrary to the decrees of Cesar, saying, 
That there is another king, one Jesus. 

8 And they troubled the people, and the 
rulers of the city, when they heard these things. 

9 And when they had taken security of Ja- 
son, and of the other, they Ipt them go. 

10 ^ And the brethren immediately sent away 
Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming 
thither, went into the synagogue of the Jews. 

11 s These were more noble than those in 
Thessalonica, in that they received the word 
with all readiness of mind, and searched the 
Scriptures daily, whether those things were so. 

12 Therefore many of them believed : also 
of honourable women which were Greeks, and 
of men, not a few. 

13 '' But when the Jews of Thessalonica had 
knowledge that the word of God was preached 
of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and 
stirred up the people. 

14 ' And then immediately the brethren sent 
away Paul, to go as it were to the sea : but Silas 
and Timotheus abode there still. 

15 '' And they that conducted Paul brought 
him unto Athens : and receiving a command- 
ment unto Silas and Timotheus, for to come to 
him with all speed, they departed. 

16 H 'Now while Paul waited for them at 
Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he 
saw the city wholly given to idolatry. 

17 " Therefore disputed he in the synagogue 
with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and 
in the market daily with them that met with him. 

18 Then certain philosophers of the Epicu- 
reans, and^f the Stoics, encountered him. And 
some said. What will this babbler say ? other 
some. He seemeth to be a setter-forth of strange 
gods : because he preached unto them Jesus, 
and the resurrection. 

19 And they took him, and brought him unto 
Areopagus, saying. May we know what this 
new doctrine, whereof thou speakest, is ? 

20 For thou bringest certain strange things 
to our ears : we would know therefore what 
these things mean.

which were there, spent their time in nothing else

CHAPTER XVllI. 



Paul accused before Gallio. 




but either to tell or to hear some new thing.) 

22 Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' 
Hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive 
that in all things ye are too superstitious. 

23 For as I passed by, and beheld your devo- 
tions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO 
THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye 
ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you. 

24 ° God that made the world, and all things 
therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and 
earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; 

25 ° Neither is worshipped with men's hands, 
as though he needed any tiling ; seeing he giv- 
eth to all, life, and breath, and all things ; 

26 P And hath made of one blood all nations 
of men, for to dwell on all the face of the eartii ; 
and hath determined the times before appointed, 
and the bounds of tlieir habitation ; 

27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply 
they might feel after him, and find him, though 
he be not far from every one of us : 

28 For in him we live, and move, and have 
our being ; as certain also of your own poets 
have said. For we are also his offspring. 

29 "1 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring 
of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead 
is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by 
art and man's device. 

30 ' And the times of this ignorance God 
winked at, but now commandeth all men every- 
where to repent : 

31 'Because he hath appointed a day in the. 
which he will judge the world in righteousness, 
by that man whom he hath ordained ; whereof 
he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he 
hath raised him from the dead. 

32 And when they heard of the resurrection 
of the dead, some mocked : and others said. 
We will hear thee again of this matter. 

SS So Paul departed from among them. 

34 Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and 
believed : among the which ivas Diouysius the 
Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and 
others with them. 

CHAPTER XVni. 

3 Paul laboureth with his hands, and prd^heth at Co- 
rinth to the Gentiles : 9 The Lord encoSgeth him in 
a vision : 12 He is accused before Gallio the deputy, 
but is dismissed : 18 Afterwards passing from city to 
city, he strengtheneth the disciples. 24 Apollos, be- 
ing more perfectly instructed by Aquila and Priscilla, 
28 preacheth Christ with great efficacy 
A FTER these things, Paul departed from 
-^^ Athens, and came to Corinth : 
a Rom. 16, 2 * And found a certain Jew named Aquila, 
icor. 16, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with 
2Tim.4,i9. his wifc Priscilla ; (because that Claudius had 
commanded all Jews to depart from Rome;) 
and came unto them.

3 ^ And because he was of the same craft, he 
abode with them, and v,rought : for by their 
occupation they were tent- makers. 
.^ 4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sab- 
Jl&ath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks. 
\ 5 'And when Silas and Timotheus were come 
^ from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in spirit, and 
\ testified to the Jews that Jesus icas Christ. 
\ 6 "^ And when they opposed themselves, and 
^ blasphemed, he shook ids raiment, and said unto 
I them, Your blood he upon your own heads: I am 
^ clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles. 
i 7 And he departed thence, and entered into 
i a certain man''s house, named Justus, one that 

> worshipped God, whose house joined hard to 
\ the sj'nagogue. 

\ 8 ^ And Crispus, the chief ruler of the syna- 
^ gogue, believed on the Lord, with all his house : 
\ and many of the Corinthians hearing, believed, 
J and were baptized. 

I 9 ' Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night 
/ by a vision. Be not afraid, but speak, and hold 
/ not thy peace : 

\ 10 6 For I am with thee, and no man shall 
set on thee, to hurt thee : for I have much peo- 
ple in this city. 

11 And he continued there a year and six 
months, teaching the word of God among them. 

12 H And when Gallio was the deputy of 
* Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with one 
} accord against Paul, and brought him to the 

> judgment-seat, 

\ 13 Saying, This felloiv persuadeth men to 
i worship God contrary to the law. 
\ 14 "^ And when Paul was now about to open 
\ his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If it were 
<* a matter of wrong, or wicked lewdness, O ye 
<• Jews, reason would that I should bear with you : 
' 15 But if it be a question of words and names, 

> and of yoav law, look ye to it ; for I will be no

I 1 8 11 '^ And Paul after this tarried there yet a 
i good while, and then took his leave of the bre- 
' thren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with 
$ him Priscilla and Aquila ; having shorn his head 
J in Cenchrea : for he had a vow. 

19 And he came to Ephesus, and left them 
there : but he himself entered into the syna- 
gogue, and reasoned with the Jews.

22 And when he had landed at Cesarea, and 
gone up, and saluted the church, he went dowy 
to Antioch. f 

23 " And after he had spent some time there, 
he departed, and went over all the country of 
Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening all 
the disciples. 

24 H " And a certain Jew named Apollos, born 
at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in 
the Scriptures, came to Ephesus. 

25 ° This man was instructed in the way of 
the Lord ; and being fervent in the spirit, he 
spake and taught diligently the things of the 
Lord, knowing only the baptism of John. 

26 And he began to speak boldly in the syna- 
gogue : whom when Aquila and Priscilla had 
heard, they took him unto them, and expounded 
unto him the way of God more perfectly. 

27 p And when he was disposed to pass into 
Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the dis- 
ciples to receive him : who, when he was 
come, helped them much which had believed 
through grace : 

28 For he mightily convinced the Jews, and 
that publickly, shewing by the Scriptures that 
Jesus was Christ. 

CHAPTER XIX. 

6 The Holy Ghost is given by Paul's hands. 9 The 
Jews blaspheme his doctrine, which is confirmed by 
miracles. 13 The Jewish exorcists, 16 are beaten by 
the devil. 19 Conjuring books are burnt. 24 De- 
metrius, for love of gain, raiseth an uproar against 
Paul, 35 which is appeased by the town-clerk. 

"^ /% ND it came to pass, that while Apollos was 
-'-^ at Corinth, Paul having passed through 
the upper coasts, came to Ephesus ; and finding 
certain disciples, 

2 '' He said unto them, Have ye received the 
Holy Ghost since ye believed ? And they said 
unto him. We have not so much as heard whe- 
ther there be any Holy Ghost. 

3 And he said unto them. Unto what then were 
ye baptized ? And they said. Unto John's baptism. 

4 ' Then said Paul, John verily baptized with 
the baptism of repentance, saying unto the peo-

9 ' But when divers were hardened, and be- 
lieved not, but spake evil of that way before 
the multitude, he departed from them, and sepa- 
rated the disciples, disputing daily in the school 
of one Tyrannus. 

10 s And this continued by the space of two 
years; so that all they which dwelt in Asia 
heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews 
and Greeks. 

1 1 '' And God \'\'rought special miracles by 
the hands of Paul : 

12 'So that from his body were brought unto 
the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the dis- 
eases departed from them, and the evil spirits 
went out of them. 

13 "^ Then certain of the vagabond Jews, 
exorcists, took upon them to call over them 
which had evil spirits, the name of the Lord 
Jesus, saying. We adjure you by Jesus, whom 
Paul preacheth. 

14 And there were seven sons of one Sceva, 
a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so. 

15 And the evil spirit answered and said, Je- 
i sus I know, and Paul I know ; but who are ye ? 

16 And the man in whom the evil spirit was, 
leaped on them, and overcame them, and pre- 
vailed against them, so that they fled out of that 
house naked and wounded. 

j 17 And this was known to all the Jews and 

f Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus ; and fear fell 

} on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was 

i magnified. 

i 18' And many that believed, came, and con- 

l fessed, and shewed their deeds. 

i 1 9 Many also of them which used curious arts, 

^ brought their books together, and burned them 

^ before all mew ; and they counted the price of 

* them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver. 

20 " So mightily grew the word of God, and 
prevailed. 

21 H ° After these things were ended, Paul 
purposed in the spirit, when he had passed 

. through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jeru- 
j salem, saying, After I have been there, I must 
\ also see Rome. 

^ 22 ° So he sent into Macedonia two of them 

\ thac ministered unto him, Timotheus and Eras- 

tus ; but he himself stayed in Asia for a season. 

23 p And the same time there arose no small 
stir about that way. 

24 1 For a certain man named Demetrius, a 
silversmith, which made silver shrines for Diana, 
brought no small gain unto the craftsmen ; 

^ 25 Whom he called together with the work- 
f men of like occupation, and said. Sirs, ye know 
(• that by this craft we have our wealth.

Paul hath persuaded and turned away much 
people, saying, that they be no gods which are 
made with hands : 

27 So that not only this our craft is in danger 
to be set at nought ; but also that the temple of 
the great goddess Diana should be despised, and 
her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all 
Asia and the world worshippeth. 

28 And when they heard these sayings, they 
were full of wrath, and cried out, saying. Great 
is Diana of the Ephesians ! 

29 ' And the whole city was filled with con- 
fusion: and haviijg caught Gaius and Aristar- 
chus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions in 
travel, they rushed with one accord into the 
theatre. 

30 And when Paul would have entered in 
unto the people, the disciples suffered him not. 

31 And certain of the chief of Asia, which 
were his friends, sent unto him, desiring him 
that he would not adventure himself into the 
theatre. 

32 Some therefore cried one thing, and some 
another ; for the assembly was confused : and 
the more part knew not wherefore they were 
come together. 

33 ' And they drew Alexander out of the 
multitude, the Jews putting him forward. And 
Alexander beckoned with the hand, and would 
have made his defence unto the people. 

34 But when they knew that he was a Jew, 
all with one voice, about the space of two hours, 
cried out. Great is Diana of the Ephesians ! 

35 And when the town-clerk had appeased 
the people, he said. Ye men of Ephesus, what 
man is there that knoweth not how that the city 
of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great 
goddess Diana, and of the image which fell 
down from Jupiter ? 

36 Seeing then that these things cannot be 
spoken against, ye ought to be quiet, and to do 
nothing rashly. 

37 For ye have brought hither these men, 
which are neither robbers of churches, nor yet 
blasphemers of your goddess. 

38 Wherefore if Demetrius, and the crafts- 
men which are with him, have a matter against 
any man, the law is open, and there are deputies: 
let them implead one another. 

• 39 But if ye inquire any thing concerning 
other matters, it shall be determined in a lawful 
assembly. 

40 For we are in danger to be called in ques- 
tion for this day's uproar, there being no cause 
whereby we may give an account of this con- 
course. 

41 And when he had thus spoken, he dismiss- 
ed the assembly.

row , and continued his speech until midnight. ^'^''- '> ^^ 

8 And there were many lights in the upper 
chamber, where they were gathered together. 

9 And there sat in a window a certain young 
man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep 
sleep : and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk 
down with sleep, and fell down from the third 

) loft, and was taken up dead. 

J 10 ^ And Paul went down, and fell on him, 57'^]°^* 
J and embracing him, said. Trouble not your- 2 kings 4,

unto Assos, there intending to take in Paul : for 
so had he appointed, minding himself to go afoot. 

14 And when he met with us at Assos, we 
took him in, and came to Mitylene. 

15 And we sailed thence, and came the next 
day over against Chios; and the next day we 
arrived at Samos, and tarried at Trogyllium ; 
and the next day we came to Miletus. 

16 "^For Paul had determined to sail by Ephe- fch- 18,21.

to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.

1 7 And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and 
called the elders of the church. 

1 8 s And when they were come to him, he 
said unto them, Ye know, from the first day 
that I came into Asia, after what manner I have 
been with you at all seasons, 

19 Serving the Lord with all humility of 
mind, and with many tears, and temptations, 
which befell n:e by the laying in wait of the 
Jews : 

20 And how I kept back nothing that was pro- 
fitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have 
taught you publickly, and from house to house, 

21 '' Testifying both to the Jews, and also to 
the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith 
toward our Lord Jesus Christ. 

22 ' And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit 
unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that 
shall befall me there : 

23 ^ Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in 
every city, saying, that bonds and afflictions 
abide me. 

24 ^ But none of these things move me, nei- 
ther count I my life dear unto myself, so that I 
might finish my course with joy : and the 
ministry, which I have received of the Lord Je- 
sus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God. 

23 And now, behold, I know that ye all, 
among whom I have gone preaching the king- 
dom of God, shall see my face no more. 

26 ■" Wherefore I take you to record this day, 
that I am pure from the blood of all men. 

27 " For I have not shunned to declare unto 
you all the counsel of God. 

28 ° Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and 
to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost 
hath made you overseers, to feed the church of 
God, which he hath purchased with his own 
blood.

shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not 
sparing the flock. 

30 '^ Also of your own selves shall men arise, 
speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples 
after them. 

31 ' Therefore watch, and remember, that by 
the space of three years I ceased not to warn 
every one night and day with tears. 

32 = And now, brethren, I commend you to 
God, and to the word of his grace, which is able 
to build you up, and to give you an inheritance 
among all them which are sanctified. 

33 ' I have coveted no man's silver, or gold,

ITU And when we were come to Jerusalem, 
the brethren received us gladly. 

18 "And the day following Paul went in with 
us unto James ; and all the elders were present. 

19 ° And when he had saluted them, he de- 
clared particularly what things God had wrought 
among the Gentiles by his ministry. 

20 ° And when they heard it, they glorified the 
Lord ; and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, 
how many thousands of Jews there are which 
believe ; and they are all zealous of the law : 

21 And they are informed of thee, that thou 
teachest all the Jews which are among the Gen- 
tiles to forsake Moses, saying. That they ought 
not to circumcise their children, neither to walk 
after the customs. 

22 ^Vhat is it therefore ? the multitude must 
needs come together : for they will hear that 
thou art come. 

23 p Do therefore this that we say to thee : 
We have four men which have a vow on them ; 

24 Them take, andpurify thyself with them, 
and be at charges with them, that they may 
shave their heads : and all may know, that those 
things A^'hereof they were informed concerning 
thee, are nothing, but that thou thyself also 
walkest orderly, and keepest the law. 

25 "i As touching the uentiles which believe, 
we have written, and concluded that they ob- 
serve no such thing, save only that they keep 
themselves from tilings offered to idols, and from 
blood, and from strangled, and from fornication. 

26 ' Then Paul took the men ; and the next 
day purifying himself with them, entered into 
the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the 
days of purification, until that an ofiering should 
be offered for everv one of them. 

27 And when the seven days were almost 
ended, the Jews which were of Asia, when they 
saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, 
and laid hands on him,

32 Who immediately took soldiers and cen- 
turions, and ran down unto them : and when 
they saw the chief cajDtain and the soldiers, they 
left beating of Paul. 

33 ^ Then the chief captain came near, and 
took him, and commanded him to be bound 
with two chains ; and demanded who he was, 
and what he had done. 

34 And some cried one thing, some another, 
among the multitude : and when he could not 
know the certainty for the tumult, he command- 
ed him to be carried into the castle. 

35 And when he came upon the stairs, so it 
was, that he was borne of the soldiers, for the 
violence of the people. 

36 y For the multitude of the people followed y Luke 33, 
after, crying, Away with him ! Joiin 19,15 

37 And as Paul was to be led into the castle, ''^' ^^' ^" 
he said unto the chief captain, May I speak unto 

thee ? w ho said, Can.st thou speak Greek ? 

38 Art not thou that Egyptian, which before 
these days madest an uproar, and leddest out 
into the wilderness four thousand men that 
were murderers .'' 

39 ^ But Paul said, I am a man which am a 
Jew of Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, a citizen of no 
mean city : and I beseech thee, suffer me to 
speak unto the people. 

40 " And when he had given him license, Paul l^'^jV^e'^^ 
stood on the stairs, and beckoned with the hand i9, 33. 
unto the people : and when there was made a 

great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew 
tongue, saying,

this city, at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught 
according to the perfect manner of the law of 
the fathers, and was zealous towards God, as 
ye all are this day. 

4 •= And I persecuted this way unto the death, 
binding and delivering into prisons both men 
and women. 

5 '^ As also the high priest doth bear me wit- 
ness, and all the estate of the elders: from whom 
also I received letters unto the brethren, and went 
to Damascus, to bring them which were there, 
bound unto Jerusalem, for to be punished. 

6 ^ And it came to pass, that as I made my 
journey, and was come nigh unto Damascus 
about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven 
a great light round about me. 

7 ^ And I fell unto the ground, and heard a 
voice sajing unto me, Saul, Saul, why perse- 
cutest thou me ? 

8 And I answered, Who art thou. Lord ? 
And he said unto me, I am .Jesus of Nazareth, 
whom thou persecutest. 

9 s And they that were with me saw indeed 
the light, and were afraid ; but they || heard not 
the voice of him that spake to me. 

10 ^ And I said, What shall I do, Lord ? And 
the Lord said unto me. Arise, and go into Da- 
mascus ; and there it shall be told thee of all 
things which are appointed for thee to do. 

1 1 And when I could not see for the glory of 
that light, being led by the hand of them that 
were with me, I came into Damascus. 

12 ' And one Ananias, a devout man accord- 
ing to the law, having a good report of all the 
Jews which dwelt there, 

13 Came unto me, and stood, and said unto 
me. Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And the 
same hour I looked up upon him. 

14 '' And he said. The God of our fathers 
hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know his 
will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear 
the voice of his mouth. 

15 For thou shalt be his witness unto all men, 
of what thou hast seen and heard. 

16 ' And now, why tarriest thou ? arise, and 
be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on 
the name of the Lord. 

17 "And it came to pass, that when I was 
come again to Jerusalem, even while I prayed 
in the temple, I was in a trance ; 

18 And saw him saying unto me, Make haste, 
and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem : for they 
will not receive thy testimony concerning me. 

19 " And I said, Lord, they know that I im- 
prisoned and beat in every synagogue them that 
believed on thee : 

20 ° And when the blood of thy martyr Ste- 
phen was shed, I also was standing by, and 



^ consenting unto his death, and kept the raiment 
of them that slew him. 

21 P And he said unto me, Depart : for I will 
send thee far hence, unto the Gentiles. 

22 IT 1 And they gave him audience unto this 
word, and then lifted up their voices, and said. 
Away with such Rfelloiv from the earth ; for it 
is not fit that he should live. 

23 And as they cried out, and cast off their 
clothes, and threw dust into the air, 

24 ■■ The chief captain commanded him to be 
t brought into the ceistle, and bade that he should 

be examined by scourging ; that he might know 
wherefore they cried so against him. 

25 ^ And as they bound him with thongs, 
Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, Is it 
lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Ro- 
man, and uncondemned ? 

26 When the centurion heard that, he went 
and told the chief captain, saying. Take heed 
what thou doest : for this man is a Roman. 

27 Then the chief captain came, and said unto 
him, Tell me, art thou a Roman ? He said. Yea. 

28 And the chief captain answered, With a 
great sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul 
said. But I was free born. 

29 Then straightway they departed from him 
which should have |j examined him : and the 
chief captain also was afraid, after he knew that 
he was a Roman, and because he had bound him. 

30 H On the morrow, because he would have 
known the certainty wherefpre he was accused 
of the Jews, he loosed him from his bands, and 
commanded the chief priests and all their coun- 
cil to appear, and brought Paul down, and set 
him before them.

were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he 
cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a 
Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee : of the hope and 
resurrection of the dead I am called in question. 

7 And when he had so said, there arose a 
dissension between the Pharisees and the Sad- 
ducees : and the multitude was divided. 

8 *■ For the Sadducees say that there is no 
resurrection, neither angel nor spirit : but the 
Pharisees confess both. 

9 4 & 16 ^ ^ ^^^ there arose a great cry : and the 
9. &. 22, 7. ' scribes that were of the Pharisees' part arose, 
25'.&2^,3i! and strove, saying. We find no evil in this man : 

but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, 

let us not hght against God. 

10 And when there arose a great dissension, 
the chief captain, fearing lest Paul should have 
been pulled in pieces of them, commanded the 
soldiers to go down, and to take him by force from 
among them, and to bring him into the castle. 

11 H '■ And the night following, the Lord 
stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul: 
for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so 
must thou bear witness also at Rome. 

12 ' And when it was day, certain of the Jews 
banded together, and bound themselves under a 
curse, saying, that they would neither eat nor 
drink till they had killed Paul. 

13 And they were more than forty which had 
made this conspiracy. 

14 And they came to the chief priests and 
elders, and said, We have bound ourselves un- 
der a great curse, that we will eat nothing until 
we have slain Paul. 

15 ''Now therefore ye, with the council, signi- 
fy to the chief captain that he bring him down 
unto you to-morrow, as though ye would inquire 
something more perfectly concerning him : and 
we, or ever he come near, are ready to kill him. 

16 And when Paul's sister's son heard of 
their lying in wait, he went and entered into 
the castle, and told Paul. 

17 Then Paul called one of the centurions unto 
him, and said, Bring this young man unto the chief 
captain ; for he hath a certain thing to tell him. 

18 So he took him, and brought /im to the chief 
captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me un- 
to him, and prayed me to bring this young man 
unto thee, who hath something to say unto thee. 

19 Then the chief captain took him by the 
hand, and went luith him, aside privately, and 
asked liim, What is that thou hast to tell me ? 

20 ' And he said, The Jews have agreed to 
desire thee that thou wouldest bring down Paul 
to-morrow into the council, as though they would 
inquire somewhat of him more perfectly. 

21 But do not thou yield unto them : for there 
lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, 



fcch.25, 3. 



I verse 1 2. 



which have bound themselves || with an oath, 
that they will neither eat nor drink till they have 
killed him : and now are they ready, looking 
for a promise from thee. 

22 So the chief captain then let the young 
man depart, and charged him, See thou tell no 
man that thou hast shewed these things to me. 

23 And he called unto him two centurions, 
saying. Make ready two hundred soldiers to go 
to Cesarea, and horsemen threescore and ten, 
and II spearmen two hundred, at the third hour 
of the night ; 

24 And provide ihein beasts, that they may 
set Paul on, and bring him safe unto Felix the 
governor. 

25 And he wrote a letter after this manner : 

26 Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent 
governor Felix sendeth greeting. 

27 "^ This man was taken of the Jews, and 
should have been killed of them : then came I 
with an army, and rescued him, having under 
stood that he was a Roman. 

28 ° And when I would have known the cause 
wherefore they accused him, I brought him 
forth into their council : 

29 " Whom I perceived to be accused of 
questions of their law, but to have nothing laid 
to his charge worthy of death or of bonds. 

30 p And when it was told me how that the 
Jews laid wait for the man, I sent straightway 
to thee, and gave commandment to his accusers 
also, to say before thee what they had against 
him. Farewell. 

31 H Then the soldiers, as it was commanded 
them, took Paul, and brought him by night to 
Antipatris. 

32 On the morrow they left the horsemen to 
go with him, and returned to the castle : 

33 Who, when they came to Cesarea, and 
delivered the epistle to the governor, presented 
Paul also before him. 

34 And when the governor had read the letter, 
he asked of what province he was. And when 
he understood that he was of Cilicia ; 

35 1 I will hear thee, said he, when thine ac- 
cusers are also come. And he commanded him 
to be kept in Herod's || judgment-hall.

began to accuse him, saying, Seeing that by thee 
we enjoy great quietness, and that very worthy 
deeds are done unto this nation by thy providence, 

3 We accept it always, and in all places, 
most noble Felix, with all thankfulness. 

4 Notwithstanding, that I be not further 
tedious unto thee, I pray thee that thou would- 
est hear us of thy clemency a few words. 

5 " For we have found this man a f pestilent 
fellow, and a mover of sedition among all the 
Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of 
the sect of the Nazarenes : 

6 Wko also hath gone about to profane-the 
temple : whom we took, and would have judged 
according to our law. 

7 But the chief captain Lysias came upon us, 
and with great violence took him away out of 
our hands, 

8 •= Commanding his accusers to come unto 
thee : by examining of whom, thyself mayest 
take knowledge of all these things whereof we 
accuse him. 

9 And the Jews also assented, saying that 
these things were so. 

ion Then Paul, after that the governor had 
beckoned unto him to speak, answered. Foras- 
much as I know that thou hast been of many 
years a judge unto this nation, I do the more 
cheerfully answer for myself: 

1 1 "^ Because that thou mayest understand, 
that there are yet but twelve days since I went 
up to Jerusalem for to worship. 

12 "^ And they neither found me in the temple 
disputing with any man, neither raising up the 
people, neither in the synagogues, nor in the city: 

13 Neither can they prove the things where- 
of they now accuse me. 

14 ''But this I confess unto thee, that after 
the way which they call heresy, so worship I the 
God of my fathers, believing all things which 
are written in the law and the prophets ; 

15 s And have hope toward God, which they 
themselves also allow, that there shall be a resur- 
rection of the dead, both of the just and unjust. 

16 "^ And herein do I exercise myself, to have 
always a conscience void of offence toward God 
and toward men. 

17 ' Now after many years, I came to bring 
alms to my nation, and offerings. 

18 ^Whereupon certain Jews from Asia found ; 
me purified in the temple, neither with multi- ; 
tude, nor with tumult : | 

19 'Who ought to have been here before ' 
thee, and object, if they had aught against me. \ 

20 Or else let these same here say, if they \ 
have found any evil-doing in me, while I stood \ 
before the council ; \ 

21 " Except it be for this one voice, that I \

& 25, 9. 14. 



cried standing among them, Touching the resur- pqJj^nt 
rection of the dead, 1 am called in question by co. 
you this day. v-*->^-v-' 

22 \ And when Felix heard these things, 
having more perfect knowledge of that way, he 
deferred them, and said. When Lysias the chief 
captain shall come down, I vvill know the utter- 
most of your matter. 

23 ° And he commanded a centurion to keep V^h^h ^^ 
Paul, and to let him have liberty, and that he ' 
should forbid none of his acquaintance to minis- 
ter or come unto him. 

24 n And after certain days, when Felix came 
with his wife Drusilla, which was a Jewess, he 
sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the 
faith in Christ. 

25 And as he reasoned of righteousness, tem- 
perance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, 
and answered. Go thy way for this time ; when I 
have a convenient season, I will call for thee. 

26 He hoped also that money should have 
been given him of Paul, that he might loose 
him : wherefore he sent for him the oftener, and 
communed with him. 

27 ° But after two years, Porcius Festus came 
into Felix's room : and Felix, willing to shew 
the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound. 

CHAPTER XXV. 

2 The Jews accuse Paul before Festus : 8 He answer- 
eth for himself, 11 and appealeth unto Cesar; 14 
Afterwards Festus openeth his matter to king Agrippa, 
23 and he is brought forth : 25 Festus declareth him to 
have done nothing worthy of death. 

OW when Festus was come into the pro- 
vince, after three days he ascended from 
Cesarea to Jerusalem. 

2 " Then the high priest and the chief of the '^ <^^- ^> *• 
Jews informed him against Paul, and besought 

him, 

3 '' And desired favour against him, that he t.ch.23,15. 
would send for him to Jerusalem, laying wait in 

the way to kill him. 

4 But Festus answered, that Paul should be 
kept at Cesarea, and that he himself would de- 
part shortly thither. 

5 Let them therefore, said he, which among 
you are able, go down with me, and accuse this 
man, if there be any wickedness in him. 

6 And when he had tarried among them more 
than ten days, he went down unto Cesarea; and 
the next day sitting in the judgment-seat, com- 
manded Paul to be brought. 

7 And when he was come, the Jews which 
came down from Jerusalem stood round about, 

and laid many and grievous complaints against ^^^^ ^^ ^^ 
Paul, which they could not prove. r22,3.'&'

temple, nor yet against Cesar, have 1 offended 
any thing at all. 

9 But Festus, willing to do the Jews a plea- 
sure, ansAvered Paul, and said. Wilt thou go up 
to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these 
things before me ? 

1 Then said Paul, I stand at Cesar'sjudgment- 
seat, where I ought to be judged : to the Jews 
have I done no wrong, as thou very well knowest. 

11*^ For if I be an offender, or have commit- 
ted any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to 
die : but if tiiere be none of these things where- 
of these accuse me, no man may deliver me unto 
them. I appeal unto Cesar. 

12 Then Festus, when he had conferred with 
the council, answered, Hast thou appealed unto 
Cesar ? unto Cesar shalt thou go. 

13 H And after certai-n days, king Agrippa and 
Bernice came unto Cesarea, to salute Festus. 

ecii.24,27 14 e ^nd whcu they had been there many 
days, Festus declared Paul's cause unto the 
king, saying. There is a certain man left in 
bonds by Felix : 

15 ' About whom, when I was at Jerusalem, 
the chief priests and the ciders of the Jews in- 
formed me, desiring /o /trti-e judgment against him. 

16 s To whom I answered. It is not the man- 
ner of the Romans to deliver any man to die, 
before that he which is accused have the accu- 
sers face to face, and have license to answer for 
himself concerning the crime laid against him. 

17 Therefore when they were come hither, 
without any delay, on the morrow I sat on the 
judgment-seat, and commanded the man to be 
brought forth. 

18 Against whom, when the accusers stood 
up, they brought none accusation of such things 
as I supposed : 

19 '' But had certain questions against him of 
their own su))erstition, and of one Jesus, which 
was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive. 

20 And because I doubted of such manner of 
questions, I asked /<»« whether he would goto 
Jerusalem, and there be judged of these matters. 

21 But when Paul had appealed to be reserved 
unto the hearing of Augustus, I commanded 
him to be kept till I might send him to Cesar. 

22 Then Agrippa said unto Festus, I would 
also hear the man myself To-morrow, said he, 
thou shalt hear him. 

23 TL And on the morrow, when Agrippa was 
come, and Bernice, with f great pomp, and was 
entered into the place of hearing, with the chief 
captains, and principal men of the city, at Festus' 
commandment Paul was brought forth. 

24 • And Festus said. King Agrippa, and all 
men which are here present with us, ye see this 
man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews

^ have dealt with me, both at Jerusalem, and also jjomim 
here, crying that he ought not to live any longer, C2. ' 

25 '' But when I found that he had committed ^-"""^^^^ 
nothing worthy of death, and that he himself s^'^sGjsT.^ 
hath appealed to Augustus, I have determined 

to send him. 

26 ' Of whom I have no certain thine; to write i ch. 12, 5 
unto t my lord. Wherefore I have brought him t «,-.'//« 
forth before you, and specially before thee, O job'32. 21 
king Agrippa, that, after examination had, I 
might have somevv'hat to ^vrite. 

27 For it seemeth to me unreasonable, to 
send a prisoner, and not withal to signify the 
crimes laid against him. 

CHAPTER XXVI. 

2 Paul in the presence of Agrijjpa declareth his life from 
his childhood, 12 and how miraculously he was con- 
verted, and called to his apostleship. 2-1 Festus charg- 
eth him to be mad, whereunto he answereth modestly. 

28 Agrippa is almost persuaded to be a Christian. 31 
The whole company pronounce him innocent. 

HEN Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art per- 
mitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul 
stretched forth the hand, and answered for him- 
self: 

2 I think myself happy, king Agrippa, be- 
cause I shall answer for myself this day before 
thee, touching all the things whereof I am ac- 
cused of the Jews : 

3 Especially, because I know thee to be f ex- 
pert in all customs and questions which are 
among the Jews : wherefore I beseech thee to 
hear me patiently. 

4 My manner of life from my youth, which 
was at the first among mine own nation at Jeru- 
salem, know all the Jews; 

5 =■ Which knew me from the beginning, if 
they would testify, that after the most straitest 
sect of our religion, I lived a Pharisee. 

6 ''And now 1 stand and am judged for the hope 
of the promise made of God unio our fathers : 

7 "^ Unto whichj5romz.se our twelve tribes, in- 
stantly serving God day and night, hope to 
come. For which hope's sake, king Agrippa, I 
am accused of the Jews. 

8 Why should it be thought a thing incredible 
with you, that God should raise the dead ? 

9 '' I verily thought with myself, that I ought 
to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus 
of Nazareth. 

10 Which thins I also did in Jerusalem : and 
many of the saints did I shut up in prison, hav- 
ing received authority from the chief priests ; 
and when they were put to death, I gave my 



voice against them 



1 1 And I punished them oft in every syna- 
gogue, and compelled them to blaspheme ; and 
being exceedingly mad against them, I persecu- 
ted them even unto strange cities.

12 ^ Whereupon as I went to Damascus, with 
authority and commission from the chief priests, 

13 At m.id-day, O king, I saw in the way a 
light from heaven, above the brightness of the 
sun, shining round about me and them which 
journeyed with me. 

14 And when we were all fallen to the earth, 
I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in 
the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, whypersecutest 
thou me ? it is hard for thee to kick against the 
pricks. 

15 And I said. Who art thou, Lord ? And he 
said, I am Jesus w^hom thou persecutest. 

16 '^But rise, and stand upon thy feet : for 1 
have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to 
make thee a minister and a witness both of these 
things which thou hast seen, and of those things 
in the which I will appear unto thee ; 

17 Delivering thee from the people, and^om 
the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee ; 

18 s To open their eyes, and to turn them 
from darkness to light, and from the power of 
Satan unto God ; that they may receive forgive- 
ness of sins, and inheritance among them which 
are sanctified, by faith that is in me. 

19 "^ Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not 
disobedient unto the heavenly vision : 

20 'But shewed first unto them of Damascus, 
and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts 
of Judea, and then to the Gentiles, that they 
should repent and turn to God, and do works 
meet for repentance. 

21 ^ For these causes the Jews caught me in 
the temple, and went about to kill me. 

22 ' Having therefore obtained help of God, 
1 continue unto this day, witnessing both to 
small and great, saying none other things than 
those which the prophets and Moses did say 
should come : 

23 " That Christ should suffer, and that he 
should be the first that should rise from the 
dead, and should shew light unto the people, 
and to the Gentiles. 

24 ° And as he thus spake for himself, Festus 
said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside 
thyself; much learning doth make thee mad. 

25 But he said, I am not mad, most noble 
Festus, but speak forth the words of truth and 
soberness. 

26 °For the king knoweth of these things, be- 
fore whom also i speak freely : for I am persuad- 
ed that none of these things are hidden from 
him ; for this thing; was not done in a corner. 

27 King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets .' 
I know that thou believest. 

28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost 
thou persuadest me to be a Christian. 

29 f And Paul said, I would to God that not

30 1 And when he had thus spoken, the king S/fe ff' 
5 rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they ' 

that sat with them. 

31 •■ And when they were gone aside, they ^ ch. 2.3, 9. 
talked between themselves, saying. This man 25, 25. ' 
doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds. 

32 Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man 
might have been set at liberty, if he had not ap- 

} pealed unto Cesar.

Paul shipping towards Rome, 10 foretelleth of the 
danger of the voyage, 11 but is not believed. 14 
They are tossed to and fro with tempest, 41 and suffer 
shipwreck ; 22, 34, 44 yet all come safe to land. 

ND when it was determined that we should 
sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and 
certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, a 
centurion of Augustus' band. 

2 *'And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, ^^fo'l'f 
) we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts ojf ? Co'r. ii,' 
' Asia ; one Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thes- 
\ salonica, being with us. 

3 •= And the next day we touched at Sidon. 
And Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave 
him liberty to go unto his friendsto refresh himself. 

4 And when we had launched from thence, 
we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds 
were contrary. 

5 And when we had sailed over the sea of 
Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city 

^ of Lycia. 

' 6 And there the centurion found a ship of Alex • 
* andria sailing into Italy ; and he put us therein 
(» 7 And when we had sailed slowly many days, 
i and scarce were come over against Cnidus, the 
( wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, 
^ over against Salmone ; 

8 And hardly passing it, came unto a place 
which is called The fair havens ; nigh where- 
unto was the city of Lasea. 

9 Now when much time was spent, and when 
sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was 
now already past, Paul admonished them ; 

10 And said unto them. Sirs, I perceive that 
this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, 
not only of the lading and ship,but also of our lives. 

11 Nevertheless, the centurion believed the 
master and the owner of the ship, more than 
those things which were spoken by Paul. 

12 And because the haven was not commo- 
dious to winter in, the more part advised to de- 
part thence also, if by any means they might at- 
tain to Phenice, and there to winter : whic/i is an 



haven of Crete, and

supposing that they had obtained their purpose,

14 But not long after, there arose against it 
t a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon. 

15 And when the ship was caught, and could 
not bear up into the wind, we let her drive. 

16 And running under a certain island which 
is called Clauda, we had much work to come by 
the boat ; 

1 7 Which \vhen they had taken up, they used 
helps, undergirding the ship ; and fearing lest 
they should fall into the quicksands, strake sail,

22 And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: 
for there shall be no loss of any m,an^s life among 
you, but of the ship. 

23 "^ For there stood by me this night the an- 
gel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, 

24 ^ Saying, Fear not, Paul ; thou must be 
brought before Cesar : and, lo, God hath given 
thee all them that sail with thee. 

25 ^ VVherefore, sirs, be of good cheer ; for 



a shore, into the which they were minded, if it 
were possible, to thrust in the ship. 

40 And when they had taken up the anchors, 
they committed themselves unto the sea, and 
loosed the rudder-bands, and hoised up the main- 
sail to the wind, and made toward shore. 

41 " And falling inio a place where two seas 
met, they ran the ship aground ; and the fore- 
part stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but 
the hinder part was broken with the violence of 
the waves. 

42 And the soldiers' counsel was to kill the 
prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, 
and escape. 

43 But the centurion, willing to save Paul,

11, 25. 



I believe God, that it shall be even as it was J kept them from their purpose ; and commanded 
told me. { that they which could swim should cast them- 

26 ^ Howbeit, we must be cast upon a cer- 
tain island. 

27 But when the fourteenth night was come, 
as we were driven up and down in Adria, about 
midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew 
near to some country : 

23 And sounded, and found z'i twenty fathoms 



and when they had gone a little further, they 
sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms. 

29 Then fearing lest we should have fallen 
upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the 
stern, and wished for the day. 

30 And as the shipmen Avere about to flee out 
of the ship, when they had let down the boat 
into the sea, under colour as though they would 
have t cast anchors out of the foreship, 

31 Paul said to the centurion and to the 
soldiers. Except these abide in the ship, ye 
cannot be saved. 

32 Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the 
boat, and let her fall off. 



that they which could swim should cast 
selves first into the sea, and get to land : 

44 And the rest, some on boards, and some 
on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came 
to pass, that they escaped all safe to land,

beast hang on his hand, they said among them- 
selves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, 
tho'igh he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance 
sufFereth not to live. 

5 *= And he shook off the beast into the fire, 
and felt no harm. 

6 "^ Hovvbeit they looked when he should have 
swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly ; but 
after they had looked a great while, and saw no 
harm come to him, they changed their minds, 
and said that he was a god. 

7 In the same quarters were possessions of 
the chief man of the island, whose name was 
Publius ; who received us, and lodged us three 
days courteously. 

8 ^ And it came to pass, that the father of 
Publius lay sick of a fever, and of a bloody 
flux : to whom Paul entered in, and prayed, 
and laid his hands on him, and healed him. 

9 So when this was done, others also, which 
had diseases in the island, came, and were healed: 

10 '^ Who also honoured us with many ho- 
nours ; and when we departed, they laded us 
with such things as were necessary. 

1 1 And after three months we departed in a 
ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the 
isle, whose sign was f Castor and Pollux. 

12 And landing at Syracuse, we tarried there 
three days. 

13 And from thence we fetched a compass, 
and came to Rhegium : and after one day the 
south wind blew, and we came the next day 
to Puteoli : 

14 Where we found brethren, and were de- 
sired to tarry with them seven days : and so we 
went toward Rome. 

15 And from thence, when the brethren heard 
of us, they came to meet us as far as Appii Fo- 
rum, and the Three Taverns : whom when Paul 
saw, he thanked God, and took courage. 

16 TI 2 And when we came to Rome, the cen- 
turion delivered the prisoners to the captain of 
the guard : but Paul was suffered to dwell by 
himself, with a soldier that kept him. 

17'' And it came to pass, that after three days 
Paul called the chief of the Jews together : and 
when they were come together, he said unto 
them, Men and brethren, though I have com- 
mitted nothing against the people, or customs of 
our fathers, yet was I delivered prisoner from 
Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans :

have let me go, because there was no cause of

19 ""But Avhen the Jews spake against it, I 
was constrained to appeal unto Cesar ; not that 
I had aught to accuse my nation of. 

20 ' For this cause therefore have I called 
for you, to see you, and to speak with you : be- 
cause that for the hope of Israel I am bound 
with this chain. 

21 And they said unto him, We neither re- 
ceived letters out of Judea concerning thee, 
neither any of the brethren that came, shewed 
or spake any harm of thee. 

22 " But we desire to hear of thee what thou 
thinkest : for as concerning this sect, we know 
that every where it is spoken against. 

23 " And when they had appointed him a day, 
there came many to him into his lodging ; to 
whom he expounded and testified the kingdom 
of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both 
out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, 
from morning till evening. 

24 ° And some believed the things which were 
spoken, and some believed not. 

25 And when they agreed not among them- 
selves, they departed, after that Paul had spo- 
ken one word ; Well spake the Holy Ghost by 
Esaias the prophet unto our fathers,

with their heart, and should be converted, and 
I should heal them. 

28 1 Be it known therefore unto you, that 
the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, 
and that they will hear it. 

29 And when he had said these words, the 
Jews departed, and had great reasoning among 
themselves. 

30 1 And Paul dwelt two whole years in his 
own hired house, and received all that came in 
unto him, 

31 Preaching the kingdom of God, and teach- 
ing those things which concern the Lord Jesus

CHAPTER I. 

1 Paul commendeth his calling to the Romans, 9 and his 
desire to come to them : 16 what his gospel is, and the 
righteousness which it sheweth. 18 God is angry with 
all manner of sin. 2 1 What were the sins of the Gentiles. 

AUL, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to 
be an apostle, separated unto the gos- 
pel of God., 

2 *" Which he had promised afore by his pro- 
phets in the holy scriptures, 

3 •= Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our 
Lord, which was made of the seed of David 
according to the flesh ; 

4 '^ And declared to be the Son of God with 
power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by 
the resurrection from the dead : 

5 ® By whom we have received grace and 
apostleship for obedience to the faith among all 
nations, for his name : 

6 Among whom are ye also the called of Je- 
sus Christ : 

7 ' To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, 
called to be saints : Grace to you, and peace, 
from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. 

8 T[ ^ First, I thanic my God through Jesus 
Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of 
throughout the whole world. 

9 '' For God is my witness, whom I serve 
with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that 
without ceasing I make mention of you always 
in my prayers ; 

10 ' Making request, if by any means now at 
length I might have a prosperous journey by the 
will of God, to come unto you. 

11 '' For I long to see you, that I may impart 
unto you some spiritual gift, to the end yc may 
be established : 

12 'That is, that I may be comforted to- 
gether with you by the mutual faith both of 
you and me. 

13 " Now I would not have you ignorant, 
brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come 
unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I might 
have some fruit among you also, even as among 
other Gentiles. 

14 " I am debtor both to the Greeks and to the 
Barbarians, both to the wise and to the unwise. 

15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to 
preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also. 

16 ° For I am not ashamed of the gospel of 
Christ : for it is the power of God unto salvation 
to every one that believeth ; to the Jew first, 
and also to the Greek. 

17 pFor therein is the righteousness of God 
revealed from faith to faith : as it is Avritten, 
The just shall live by faith. 



18 5 1 For the wrath of God is revealed 
from heaven against all ungodliness and un- 
righteousness of men, who hold the truth in 
unrighteousness : 

19 ^Because that which maybe known of 
God is manifest in them ; for God hath shewed 
it unto them. 

20 ' For the invisible things of him from the 
creation of the world are clearly seen, being 
understood by the things that are made, even his 
eternal power and Godhead : so that they are 
without excuse. 

21 'Because that, when they knew God, they 
glorified him not as God, neither were thankful, 
but became vain in tlieir imaginations, and their 
foolish heart was darkened : 

22 " Professing themselves to be .wise, they 
became fools : 

23 ^ And changed the glory of the uncorrup- 
tible God into an image made like to corrupti- 
ble man, and to birds, and four-footed beasts, 
and creeping things. 

24 y Wherefore God also gave them up to 
uncleanness through the lusts of their own 
hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between 
themselves : 

25 '■ Who changed the truth of God into 
a lie, and worshipped and served the creature 
II more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. 
Amen. 

26 " For this cause God gave them up unto 
vile affections : for even their women did chancre 
the natural use into that which is against nature : 

27 And likewise also the men, leaving the na- 
tural use of the woman, burned in their lust one 
toward another ; men with men working that 
which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves 
that recompence of their error which was meet. 

28 '' And even as they did not like to retain 
God in their knowledge, God gave them over 
to a reprobate mind, to do those things which 
are not convenient ; 

29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, for- 
nication, wickedness, covetousness, malicious- 
ness ; full of envy, nmrder, debate, deceit, ma- 
lignity ; whisperers, 

30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful^ 
proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobe- 
dient to parents, 

31 Without understanding, covenant-break- 
ers, without natural affection, implacable, un- 
merciful : 

32 "^ Who knowing the judgment of God, that 
they which commit such things are worthy of 
death, not only do the same, but have pleasure. 
in them that do them.

through my lie unto his glory, why yet am I 
also judged as a sinner ? 

8 s And not rather (as we be slanderously re- 
ported, and as some affirm that we say) Let us 
do evil, that good may come ? whose damna- 
tion is just. 

9 '' What then ? are we better than they ? No, 
in no wise : for we have before proved both 
Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin ; 

10 ' As it is written, There is none righteous, 
no, not one : 

1 1 There is none that understandeth, there is 
none that seeketh after God. 

12 They are all gone out of the way, they 
are together become unprofitable ; there is none 
that doeth good, no, not one. 

13 "^ Their throat is an open sepulchre : with 
their tongues they have used deceit ; the poison 
of asps is under their lips : 

14 ' Whose mouth is full of cursing and bit- 
terness : 

15 ^ Their feet are swift to shed blood : 

16 Destruction and misery are in their ways : 

17 And the way of peace have they not 
known : 

18 " There is no fear of God before their eyes. 

19 ° Now we know, that what things soever 
the law saith, it saith to them who are under 
the law ; that every mouth may be stopped, and 
all the world may become guilty before God. 

20 P Therefore by the deeds of the law there 
shall no flesh be justified in his sight : for by the 
law is the knowledge of sin. 

21 H •! But now the righteousness of God 
without the law is manifested, being witnessed 
by the law and the prophets ; 

22 ' Even the righteousness of God, which is 
by faith of Jesus Christ, unto all and upon all 
them that believe : for there is no difference : 

23 ' For all have sinned, and come short of 
the glory of God ; 

24 'Being justified freely by his grace, through 
the redemption that is in Jesus Christ : 

23 " Whom God hath set forth to he a propi- 
tiation through faith in his blood, to declare his 
righteousness for the remission of sins that are 
past, through the forbearance of God ; 

26 To declare, / say, at this time, his righte- 
ousness : that he might be just, and the justifier 
of him which believeth in Jesus. 

27 ^ Where is boasting then ? It is excluded. 
By what law ? of works ? Nay ; but by the 
law of faith. 

28 " Therefore we conclude that a man is 
justified by faith without the deeds of the law. 

29 ^ Is he the God of the Jews only ? is he not 
also of the Gentiles ? Yes, of the Gentiles also : 

30 ^ Seeing it is one God, which shall justify 



the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision 
through faith. 

31 ^ Do we then make void the law through 
faith ? God forbid : yea, we establish the law. 

CHAPTER IV. 

1 Abraham's faith was imputed to him for righteousness, 
10 before he was circumcised. 13 By faith only, he 
and his seed received the piomise. 16 Abraham is 
the father of all that believe. 24 Our faith also shall be 
imptited to us for righteousness. 

*"Y1/'HAT shall we then say, that Abraham, 
' ' our father as pertaining to the flesh, 
hath found ? 

2 " For if Abraham were justified by works, 
he hath whereof to glory ; but not before God. 

3 " For what saith the Scripture ? Abraham 
believed God, and it was counted unto him for 
righteousness. 

4 "^ Now to him that worketh is the reward 
not reckoned of grace, but of debt. 

5 * But to him that worketh not, but believeth 
on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is 
counted for righteousness. 

6 ' Even as David also describeth the bless- 
edness of the man unto whom God imputeth 
righteousness without wo|-ks, 

7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities 
are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. 

8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will 
not impute sin. 

9 Cometh this blessedness then upon the cir- 
cumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision 
also ? for we say that faith was reckoned to 
Abraham for righteousness. 

10 How was it then reckoned ? when he was 
in circumcision, or in uncircumcision .'' Not in 
circumcision, but in uncircumcision. 

1 1 s And he received the sign of circumcision ; 
a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he 
had, yet being uncircumcised ; that he might be 
the father of all them that believe, though they 
be not circumcised ; that righteousness might be 
imputed unto them also : 

12 And the father of circumcision to them who 
are not of the circumcision only, but who also 
walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abra- 
ham, which he had, being yet uncircumcised. 

13 ''For the promise, that he should be the 
heir of the world, ivas not to Abraham, or to his 
seed through the law, but through the righteous- 
ness of faith. 

14 For if they which are of the law be heirs, 
faith is made void, and the promise made of 
none effect : 

15 'Because the law worketh wrath: for 
where no law is, there is no transgression. 

16 ^ Therefore it is of faith, that it might be 
by grace ; to the end the promise might he sure

1 Being justified by faith, we have peace %vith God, 2 
and joy in our hope ; 8 that since we were reconciled 
by his blood, when we were enemies, 10 we shall 
much more be saved being reconciled. 12 As sin and 
death came by Adam, 17 so much more righteousness 
and life by Jesus Christ. 20 Where sin abounded, 
grace did superabound. 

^npHEREFORE being justified by faith, we j 
-■- have peace with God, through our Lord <» 
Jesus Christ : 

2 " By whom also we have access by faith 
into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in 
hope of the glory of God.

so by the righteousness of one the free gift came

5 ® For if we have been planted together in

6 ^ Knowing this, that our old man is cruci-

CHAPTER Vn. 




1 No law hath power over a man longer than he liveth. 
4 But we are dead to the law. 7 Yet is not the law 
sin, 12 but holy, just, and good, 16 as I acknowledge, 
who am grieved because 1 cannot keep it. 

^~Wr NOW ye -not, brethren, (for I speak to ^^g'-g^'^'"^- 
-^-^ them that know the law,) how that the law lo, 'i"'' 
hath dominion over a man as Ions; as he liveth ? 

2 '' For the woman which hath an husband is 1?^'""' ^ 
bound by the law to her husband, so long as he Prov. 6,24. 
liveth ; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed j^cor. 7, 2. 
from the law of her husband. Wev'n 

3 ' So then, if, while her husband liveth, she 12. 

be married to another man, she shall be called an jmi^es 14, 
adulteress : but if her husband be dead, she is ^^,^^ j ,3 
free from that law : so that she is no adulteress, Mat. 5,' 32. 

. d P.s 127 3 

though she be married to another man. km, 11. ' 

4 '' Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are be- ^i"''6^_ \'^'^^ 
come dead to the law by the body of Christ; jV" . 73- 
that ye should be married to another, even to 2Cor!ii,2! 
him who is raised from the dead, that we should saLs^is.

bring forth fruit unto God 

5 ® For when we were in the flesh, the 
motions of sins, which were by the law, did 
work in our members, to bring forth fruit unto 
death. 

6 ^ But now we are delivered from the law, 
that being dead wherein,^ve were held ; that we 
should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the ^^^- ^' \^-

the law : for I had not known l-ust, except the 23 SiS.W 
law had said. Thou shalt not covet. 

8 ''But sin, taking occasion by the command- 
ment, wrought in me all manner of concupi- 
scence. For without the law, sin was dead. 

9 ' For I was alive without the law once: but 
when the commandment came, sin revived, and 
I died. 

10 ''And the commandment, which was or- 
dained to life, 1 found to be unto death. 

1 1 ' For sin, taking occasion by the com- 
mandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.

commandment holy, and just, and good.

unto me ? God forbid. But sin, that it might „ ch.'s.'a 
appear sin, working death in me by that which ^^ |j"g 
is good ; that sin by the commandment might 2 kings 17

is good I find not. 

19 For the good that I would, I do not: but 
the evil which 1 would not, that I do. 

20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no 
more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 

21 I find then a law, that, when I would do 
good, evil is present with me. 

22 ■• For I delight in the law of God after 
the inAvard man : 

23 'But I see another law in my members, 
warring against the law of my mind, and bring- 
ing me into captivity to the law of sin which is 
in my members. 

24 O wretched man that I am ! who shall 
deliver me from the body of this death ? 

25 * I thank God, through Jesus Christ our 
Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the 
law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin. 

CHAPTER VIII. 

I They that are in Ch. ist, and live according to the Spirit, 
are free from condemnation. 5, 13 What harmcometh 
of the flesh, C, 14 and what good of the Spirit, 17 and 
what of being God's children : 19 Whose glorious de- 
liverance all things long for. 29 It was beforehand de- 
creed from God. 38 What can sever us from his love. 

* rWlHERE is, therefore, now no condemna- 
J- tion to them which are in Christ Jesus, 

who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 

2 ^ For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ 
Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin 
and death. 

3 ^ For what the law could not do, in that it 
was weak through the flesh, God sending his 
own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh,'^ and for 
sin, condemned sin in the flesh : 

4 That the righteousness of the law might 
be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, 
but after the Spirit. 

5 *" For they that are after the flesh, do mind 
the things of the flesh ; but they that are after 
the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. 

6 ® For to be carnally minded is death ; but 
to be spiritually minded is life and peace : 

7 ' Because the carnal mind is enmity against 
God ; for it is not subject to the law of God, 
neither indeed can be. 

8 s So then they that are in the flesh cannot 
please God. 

9 ^ But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spi- 
rit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. 
Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, 
he is none of his.

tiles, which followed not after righteousness, 
have attained to righteousness, even the righte- 
ousness which is of faith. 

31 * But Israel, which followed after the law 
of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of 
righteousness. 

32 *■ Wherefore ? Because they sought it not 
by faith, but as it were by the works of the law : 
for they stumbled at that stumbling-stone ; 

33 ^ As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a 
stumbling-stone and rock of offence : and who- 
soever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 

CHAPTER X. 

4 The scripture sheweth the difference betwixt the right- 
eousness of the law, and this of faith ; 1 1 and that all, 
both Jew and Gentile, that believe, shall not be con- 
founded ; 18 and that the Gentiles shall receive the word, 
and believe. 19 Israel was not ignorant of these things. 
RETHREN, my heart's desire and prayer 
to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 

2 ^ For I bear them record, that they have a 
zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. 

3 " For they being ignorant of God's righte- 
ousness, and going about to establish their own 
righteousness, have not submitted themselves 
unto the righteousness of God. 

4 "* For Christ is the end of the law for right- 
eousness to every one that believeth. 

5 * For Moses describeth the righteousness 
which is of the law. That the man which doeth 
those things shall live by them. 

6 ^ But the righteousness which is of faith 
speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, 
Who- shall ascend into heaven ? (that is, to bring 
Christ down from above :) 

7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep ? (that 
is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) 

8 s But what saith it.? The word is nigh thee, 
even in thy mouth, and in thy heart : that is, the 
word of faith which we preach ; 

9 ^ That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth 
the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart 
that God hath raised him from the dead, thou 
shalt be saved. 

10 For with the heart man believeth unto 
righteousness ; and with the mouth confession 
is made unto salvation. 



11 'For the Scripture saith, W^hosoever be- 
lieveth on him shall not be ashamed. 

12 I' For there is no difference between the 
Jew and the Greek : for the same Lord over all 
is rich unto all that call upon him. 

13 ' For whosoever shall call upon the name 
of the Lord shall be saved. 

14 "How then shall they call on him in whom 
^ they have not believed ? and how shall they be- 
^ lieve in him of whom they have not heard ? and 

how shall they hear without a preacher ? 

15 " And how shall they preach, except they 
be sent ? as it is written, How beautiful are the 
feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and 
bring glad tidings of good things ! 

16 ° But they have not all obeyed the gos- 
pel. For Esaias saith. Lord, who hath believed 
our report ? 

1 7 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hear- 
) ing by the word of God. 

(• 18 P But I say. Have they not heard ? Yes, 
( verily, their sound went into all the earth, and 
\ their words unto the ends of the world. 

19 1 But I say. Did not Israel know ? First 
Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by 
them that are no people, and by a foolish nation 
I will anger you. 

20 ■■ But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was 
found of them that sought me not ; I was made 

\ manifest unto them that asked not after me. 
\ 21 = But to Israel he saith, All day long I have 
\ stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and

8 '' (According as it is written, God hath given 
them the spirit of slumber, ejes that they should 
not see, and ears that they should not hear;) un- 
to this day. 

9 ' And David saith. Let their table be made 
a snare and a trap, and a stumbling-block, and 
a recompence unto them : 

10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may 
not see, and bow down their back alway. 

1 1 " I say then. Have they stumbled that they 
should fall ? God forbid • but rather through 
their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for 
to provoke them to jealousy. 

12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the 
world, and the diminishing of them the riches of 
the Gentiles, how much more their fulness ? 

13 ' For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch 
as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify 
mine office ; 

14 " If by any means I may provoke to emu- 
lation them which are my flesh, and might save 
some of them. 

15 ° For if the casting away of them be the 
reconciling of the world, what shall the receiv- 
ing of them be, but life from the dead ? 

16 ° For if the first-fruit be holy, the lump 
is also holy : and if the root be holy, so are the 
branches. 

17 p And if some of the branches be broken 
o% and thou, being a wild olive-trtie, wert 
graifed in amongst them, and with them partak- 
est of the root and fatness of the olive-tree ; 

18 ''Boast not against the branches. But if thou 
boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. 

1,9 Thou wilt say then. The branches were 
broken off, that I might be graffed in. 

20 ' Well ; because of unbelief they were 
broken off; and thou standest by faith. Be not 
high-minded, but fear : 

21 For if God spared not the natural branch- 
es, take heed lest he also spare not thee. 

22 ^ Behold therefore the goodness and se- 
verity of God : on them which fell, severity ; 
but towards thee, goodness ; if thou continue in 
/tw goodness : otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. 

23 ' And they also, if they bide not still in 
unbelief, shall be graffed in : for God is able to 
graff them in again. 

24 " For if thou wert cut out of the olive-tree 
which is wild by nature, and wert graffed con- 
trary to nature into a good olive-tree ; how much 
more shall these, which be the natural branches, 
be graffed into their own olive-tree ?

Paul excuseth his writing, ^c. 




and revived, that he might be Lord both of the ^ through patience and comfort of the Scriptures 



dead and living. 

10 ' But why dost thou judge thy brother ? or 
Mat.25,'31." why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we 
2 Cor. 4,15. s\^q\\ all stand before the judgment-seat of Christ. 

1 1 ^ For it is written, As I live, saith the 
Lord, every knee shall bow" to me, and every 
tongue shall confess to God. 

12 'So then every one ot us shall give ac- 
count of himself to God. 

13 ■" Let us not therefore judge one another 
any more : but judge this rather, that no man 
put a stumbling-block or an occasion to fall in 
his brother's way. 

14 ° I know, and am persuaded by the Lord 
Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: 
but to him that esteemeth any thing to be un- 
clean, to him it is unclean. 

13 "But if thy brother be grieved with thy 
meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy 
not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died. 

16 t* Let not then your good be evil spoken of. 

1 7 "i For the kinofdom of God is not meat and 
drink ; but righteousness and peace, and joy m 
the Holy Ghost. 

18 For he that in these things serveth Christ, 
is acceptable to God and approved of men. 

19 ' Let us therefore follow after the things 
which make for peace, and things wherewith 
one may edify another. 

20 ' For meat destroy not the work of God. 
All things indeed are pure ; but it is evil for 
that man who eateth with offence. 

21 ' It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to 
Ti'iusf'ia ^rink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother 
t iCoi-.B,i3. stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.

CHAPTER XV. 

1 The strong must bear with the weak. 2 We may not 
please ourselves, 3 for Christ did not so : 7 but re- 
ceive one the other, as Christ did us all, 8 both Jews, 
9 and Gentiles. 15 Paul excuseth his writing, 23 and 
promiseth to see them, 30 and requesteth their prayers. 

^X^E then that are strong ought to bear the 
' ^ infirmities of the weak, and not to please 
ourselves. 

2 '^ Let every one of us please his neighbour 
for his good to edification. 

3 " For even Christ pleased not himself; but, 
as it is written, The reproaches of them that re- 
proached thee fell on me. 

4 ''For whatsoever things were written afore- 
time, were written for our learning, that we

Christ also received us, to the glory of God.

of the circumcision for the truth of God, to con- l^'^^"- '^ 
firm the promises made unto the fathers ; John 1,^11

\ with his people.

5 tiles ; and laud him, all ye people. 

^ 12 " And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a ]^l^^^i{ * 

) root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over 

]! the Gentiles ; in him shall the Gentiles trust. 

J 13 ° Now the God of hope fill you with all 

^ joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound 

( in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. 

\ 14 H ° And I myself also am persuaded of 

f you, my brethren, that ye also are full of good- 

( ness, filled with all knowledge, able also to ad- 

> monish one another. 

13 p Nevertheless, brethren, I have written 
the more boldly unto you in some sort, as putting 
you ill mind, because of the grace that is given 
to me of God, 

16 1 That I should be the minister of Jesus c^, o 7 ^ 
Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of P'^iJi i''' 
God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be 2 xim.' 1' 
acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost. 

17 I have therefore whereof I may glory 
through Jesus Christ in those things which per- 
tain to God. 

18 'For I will not dare to speakof any of those ^',g' 'j*^-^^ 
things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to r>}'-^^, 
make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed, 

19 'Through mighty signs and wonders, by 
the power of the Spirit of God : so that from 
Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I 
have fully preached the gospel of Christ. 

20 ' Yea, so have I strived to preach the gos- 
pel, not where Christ was named, lest I should 
build upon another man's foundation :

ing for the t coming of our Lord Jesus Christ : 

8 '' Who shall also confirm you unto the end, 
that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord 
Jesus Christ. 

9 ' God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto 
the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. 

10 H "^ Now I beseech you, brethren, by the 
name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak 
the same thing, and that there be no divisions 
among you ; but that ye be perfectly joined toge- 
ther in the same mind and in the same judgment. 

1 1 ' For it hath been declared unto me of you, 
my brethren, by them which are of the house of ^ 
Chloe, that there are contentions among you. ' 

12 " Now this I say, that every one of you ^ 
saith, I am of Paul ; and I of Apollos ; and I of ( 
Cephas ; and 1 of Christ. 

13 " Is Christ divided ? was Paul crucified for 
you .'' or were ye baptized in the name of Paul ? 

14 ° I thank God that I baptized none of you 
but Crispus and Gaius ; 

15 Lest any should say that I had baptized 
in mine own name. ( 

16 P And I baptized also the household of I 
Stephanas : besides, I know not whether I bap- 
tized any other. 

17 "J For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to 
preach the gospel : not with wisdom of words, lest 
the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. 

18 ' For the preaching of the cross is to them 



that perish foolishness ; but unto us which are 
saved it is the power of God. 

19 ' For it is written, I will destroy the wis- 
dom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the 
understanding of the prudent. 

20 * Where is the wise ? where is the scribe ? 
where is the disputer of this world ? hath not 
God made foolish the wisdom of this world ? 

21 " For after that, in the wisdom of God, the 
world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God 
by the foolishness of preaching to save them 
that believe. 

22 ^ For the Jews require a sign, and the 
Greeks seek after wisdom : 

23 ^ But we preach Christ crucified, unto the 
Jews a stumbling-block, and unto the Greeks 
foolishness ; 

24 ^ But unto them which are called, both 
Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, 
and the wisdom of God. 

25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser 
than men ; and the weakness of God is stronger 
than men. 

26 ^ For ye see your calling, brethren, how 
that not many wise men after the flesh, not many 
mighty, not many noble, are called : 

27 "But God hath chosen the foolish things of 
the world, to confound the wise ; and God hath 
chosen the weak things of the world, to confound 
the things which are mighty ; 

28 ■= And base things of the world, and things 
which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and 
things which are not, to bring to nought things 
that are ; 

29 '^ That no flesh should glory in his presence. 

30 ^ But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of 
God is made unto us Avisdom and righteousness, 
and sanctification, and redemption : 

31 f That, according as it is written. He that 
glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. 

CHAPTER II. 

1 Paul declareth that his preaching, though it bring not 
excellency of speech, or of 4 human wisdom; yetcon- 
sisteth in the 4, 3 power of God ; and so far excelleth 
6 the wisdom of this world, and 9 human sense, as that 
14 the natural man cannot understand it. 

=" \ ND I, brethren, when I came to you, came 
-^^ not with excellency of speech or of wis- 
dom, declaring unto you the testimony of God : 

2 '' For I determined not to know any thing 
among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. 

3 " And I was Avith you in weakness, and in 
fear, and in much trembling. 

4 '' And my speech and my preaching ivas not

with enticing \yords of man's wisdom, but in 
demonstration of the Spirit and of power : 

5 ^ That your faith should not stand in the 
wisdom of men, but in the power of God. 

6 H ^ Howbeit we speak wisdom among them 
that are perfect : yet not the wisdom of this 
world, nor of the princes of this world that 
come to nought : 

7 sBut we speak the wisdom of God in a mys- 
tery, even the hidden ivisdom, which God or- 
dained before the world unto our glory : 

8 ^ Which none of the princes of this world 
knew : for had they known it, they would not 
have crucified the Lord of glory. 

9 'But, as it is written, Eye hath not seen, 
nor ear heard, neither have entered into the 
heart of man, the things which God hath pre- 
pared for them that love him. 

10 '' But God hath revealed thejn unto us by 
his Spirit : for the Spirit searcheth all things, 
yea, the deep things of God. 

1 1 ' For what man knoweth the things of a 
man, save the spirit of man which is in him ? 
even so the things of God knoweth no man, but 
the Spirit of God. 

12 ° Now we have received, not the spirit of 
the world, but the Spirit which is of God ; that 
we might know the things that are freely given 
to us of God. 

13 ° Which things also we speak, not in the 
words Avhich man's wisdom teacheth, but which 
the Holy Ghost teacheth ; comparing spiritual 
things with spiritual. 

14 "But the natural man receiveth not the 
things of the Spirit of God : for they are foolish- 
ness unto him : neither can he know them, be- 
cause they are spiritually discerned. 

15 P But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, 
yet he himself is judged of no man. 

16 1 For who hath known the mind of the 
Lord, that he may instruct him ? But we have 
the mind of Christ. 

CHAPTER III. 

2 Milk is fit for children. 3 Strife and division are ar- 
guments of a fleshly mind. 7 He that planteth and he 
that watereth, is nothing. 9 The ministers are God's 
fellow-workmen. 1 1 Christ the only foundation. 

'' \ ND I, brethren, could not speak unto you, 
-^-^ as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even 
as unto babes in Christ. 

2 '^ I have fed you with milk, and not with 
meat : for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, 
neither yet now are ye able. 

3 = For ye are yet carnal : for whereas there is 
among you envying, and strife, and divisions, 
are ye not carnal, and walk as men ? 

4 '^ For while one saith, I am of Paul ; and 
another, I am of Apollos ; are ye not carnal ? 

5 TI * Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, 



but ministers by Avhom ye believed, even as the 
Lord gave to every man ? 

6 *" I have planted, Apollos watered; but God 
gave the increase. 

7 s So then neither is he that planteth any 
thing, neither he that watereth ; but God that 
giveth the increase. 

8 ^ Now he that planteth and he that watereth 
are one : and every man shall receive his own 
reward according to his own labonr.

also might 



God ye did 
with you. 

9 ' For I think that God hath set forth us the 
apostles last, as it were appointed to death : for 
we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to 
angels, and to men. 

10 ^ We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are 
wise in Christ ; we are weak, but ye are strong; 
ye are honourable, but we are despised. 

1 1 'Even unto this present hour we both hun- 
ger and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, 
and have no certain dwelling-place ; 

12 ° And labour, working with our own 
hands : being reviled, we bless ; being perse- 
cuted, we suffer it ; 

13 "Being defamed, we entreat: we are made 
as the filth of the world, and are the off-scouring 
of all things unto this day. 

14 ° I write not these things to shame you, but 
as my beloved sons I warn you. 

15 P For though you have ten thousand in- 
structors in Christ, yet have ye not many fa- 
thers ; for, in Christ Jesus, I have begotten you 
through the gospel. 

16 1 Wherefore, I beseech you, be ye follow- 
ers of me. 

17 ' For this cause have I sent unto you Ti- 
motheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in 
the Lord, who shall bring, you into remem- 
brance of my ways which be in Christ, as I 
teach every where in every church. 

18 'Now some are puffed up, as though I 
would not come to you. 

19 'But I will come to you shortly, if the 
Lord will ; and will know, not the speech of 
them which are puffed up, but the power. 



3 " But with me it is a very small thing that I 
should be judged of you, or of man's judgment ; 
yea, I judge not mine own self: 

4 "^ For I know nothing by myself; yet am I 
not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is J 
the Lord. 

5 * Therefore judge nothing before the time, 
until the Lord corne, who both will bring to 
light the hidden things of darkness, and will 
make manifest the counsels of the hearts : and 
then shall every man have praise of God. 

6 H ' And these things, brethren, I have in a 
figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for 
your sakes ; that ye might learn in us not to think 
of men above that which is written, that no one 
of you be puffed up for one against another. 

7 5 For who maketh thee to differ /row ano- 
ther f and what hast thou that thou didst not re- 
ceive ? Now if thou didst receive it, why dost 
thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it f 

Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have 
as kings without us: and I would to 



20 " For the kingdom of God is not in word, 
but in power. 

21 ^ What will ye ? shall I come unto you with 
a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness ? 

CHAPTER V. 

1 The incestuous person 6 is ca;i.se rather of shame unto 
them, than of rejoicing. 7 The old leaven is to be 
purged out. 10 Heinous offenders are to be shunned. 

^ XT is reported commonly that there is fornica- 
-*- tion among you, and such fornication as is 
not so much as named among the Gentiles, that 
one should have his father's wife. 

2 '' And ye are puffed up, and have not rather 
mourned, that he that hath done this deed might 
be taken away from among you. 

3 "^ For J verily, as absent in body, but present in 
spirit, have judged already, as though I v.^ere pre- 
sent, concerning him that hath so done this deed ; 

4 "^ In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, 
when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, 
with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 

3 ^ To deliver such an one unto Satan for the 
destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be 
saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. 

6 ' Your glorying is not good. Know ye not 
that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump ? 

7 s Purge cut therefore the old leaven, thatj^e 
may be a ncAV lump, as ye are unleavened. For 
even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us : 

8 ^ Therefore let us keep the feast, not with 
old leaven, neither whh the leaven of malice 
and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread 
of sincerity and truth. 

9 H ' I wrote unto you in an epistle not to 
company with fornicators : 

10'' Yet not altogether with the fornicators of 
this world, or with the covetous, or extortion- 
ers, or with idolaters ; for then must ye needs 
go out of the world. 

1 1 ' But now I have written unto you not to

CHAPTER VI. 

1 The Corinthians must not vex their brethren, in going to 
law with them: especiallj^ under intidels. 9 The unright- 
eous shall not inherit the kingdom of God. 15 Our bo- 
dies are the members of Christ, 19 and temples of the 
Holy Ghost: 16, 17 They must not therefore be defiled. 

DARE any of you, having a matter against 
another, go to law before the unjust- and 
not before the saints ?

the woman, neither the woman without the man, 
in the Lord. 

12 '' For as the woman is of the man, even 
so is the man also by the woman ; but all things 
of God. 

13 Judge in yourselves : Is it comely that a 
woman pray unto God uncovered ? 

14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, 
if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him ? 

15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory 
to her ; for her hair is given her for a covering. 

16 'But if any man seem to be contentious, 
we have no such custom, neither the churches 
of God. 

\1 \ Now in this that I declare unto you I 
praise you not, that you come together not for 
the better, but for the worse. 

18" For first of all, when ye come together 
in the church, I hear that there be divisions 
among you ; and I partly believe it. 

19 " For there must be also heresies among 
you, that they which are approved may be made 
manifest among you. 

20 When ye come together therefore into one 
place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper. 

21 ° For in eating, every one taketh before 
other his own supper : and one is hungry, and 
another is drunken. 

22 P What ! have ye not houses to eat and 
to drink in ? or despise ye the church of God, 
and shame them that have not ? What shall 
I say to you ? shall I praise you in this ? I praise 
you not. 

23 ^ For I have received of the Lord that 
which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord 
Jesus, the same night in which, he was betrayed, 
took bread : 

24 And when he had given thanks, he brake 
it, and said. Take, eat; this is my body, which is 
broken for you : this do in remembrance of me. 

25 After the same manner also he took the 
cup, when he had supped, saying. This cup is 
the new testament in my blood : this do ye, as 
oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. 

26 "■ For as often as ye eat this bread, and 
drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till 
he come. 

27 ' Wherefore, whosoever shall eat this t 
bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unwor- \ 
thily, shall be guilty of the body and blood 
of the Lord. 

28 * But let a man examine himself, and so let 
him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. 

29 " For he that eateth and drinketh unwor- 
thily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, 
not discerning the Lord's body. 

30 For this cause many are weak and sickly 
among you, and many sleep. 



together unto con- 
will I set in order 



31 ^ For if we would judge ourselves, we 
should not be judged. 

32 y But when we are judged, we are chas- 
tened of the Lord, that we should not be con- 
demned with the world. 

33 Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come 
together to eat, tarry one for another. 

34 ^ And if any man hunger, let him eat at 
home ; that ye come not 
demnation. And the rest 
when I come. 

CHAPTER XII. 

1 Spiritual gifts 4 are diverse, 7 yet all to profit withal ; 
8 and to that end are diversely bestowed- 12 that by 
the like proportion, as the members of a natural body 
tend all to the 16 mutual decency, 22 service and 26 
succour of the same body ; 27 so we should do one for 
another, to make up the mystical body of Christ. 

'" l\r^^ concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I 
-L^ would not have you ignorant. 

2 '' Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried 
away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led. 

3 " Wherefore I give you to understand, that 
no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth 
Jesus accursed ; and that no man can say that 
Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. 

4 '^ Now there are diversities of gifts, but the 
same Spirit. 

5 ^ And there are differences of administra- 
tions, but the same Lord. 

6 ' And there are diversities of operations ; 
but it is the same God which worketh all in all. 

7 s But the manifestation of the Spirit is given 
to every man to profit withal. 

8 '' For to one is given, by the Spirit, the 
word of wisdom ; to another the word of know- 
ledge, by the same Spirit ; 

9 ' To another faith, by the same Spirit ; to 
another the gifts of healing, by the same Spirit ; 

10 '^ To another the working of miracles ; to 
another prophecy ; to another discerning of spi- 
rits ; to another divers kinds of tongues ; to ano- 
ther the interpretation of tongues : 

11 'But all these worketh that one and the 
self-same Spirit, dividing to every man severally 
as he will. 

12 H ° For as the body is one, and hath many 
members, and all the members of that one body, 
being many, are one body ; so also is Christ. 

13 " For by one Spirit are we all baptized 
into one body, whether rve be Jews or Gentiles, 
whether ive he bond or free ; and have been all 
made to drink into one Spirit. 

14 Fo" the body is not one member, but 
many. 

15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the 
hand, I am not of the body ; is it therefore not 
of the body ? 

1 6 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not

1 8 ° B ut now hath God set the members, every J 
one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. J 

19 And if they were all one member, where J 
ivere the bodv ? 1 

20 But now are they many members, yet but ' 
one body. ( 

21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I ( 
have no need of thee : nor again, the head to 1 
the feet, I have no need of you. 1 

22 Nay, much more, those members of the bo- \ 
dy which seem to be more feeble, are necessary : | 

23 And those members of the body which we ; 
think to be less honourable, upon these we be- 
stow more abundant honour ; and our uncomely 
parts have more abundant comeliness. 

24 For our comely parts have no need : but 
God hath tempered the body together, having 
given more abundant honour to thdit part which 
lacked : 

25 That there should be no schism in the 
bodv ; but that the members should have the 
same care one for another. 

26 And whether one member suffer, all the 
members suffer with it ; or one member be ho- 
noured, all the members rejoice with it. 

27 p Now ye are the body of Christ, and mOTi- 
bers in particular. 

28 H "i And God hath set some in the church ; 
first, apostles : secondarily, prophets ; thirdly, 
teachers; after that, miracles; then gifts of heal- 
ings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. 

29 Are all apostles ? are all prophets .'' are all 
teachers ? are all workers of miracles ? 

30 Have all the gifts of healing ? do all speak 
with tongues ? do all interpret ? 

31 ■■ But covet earnestly the best gifts : and 
j3, 1. fa, 14, yg^ shew I unto you a more excellent way. 

CHAPTER XIII.

envieth not ; charity vaunteth not itself, is not 
puffed up, 

3 "^ Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh 
not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh 
no evil ; 

6 *= Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in 
the truth ; 

7 ^ Beareth all things, believeth all things, 
hopeth all things, endureth all things. 

8 ° Charity never faileth : but whether there 
be prophecies, they shall fail ; whether there be 
tongues, they shall cease ; whether there be 
knowledge, it shall vanish away. 

9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in 
part; 

10 But when that which is perfect is come, 
then that which is in part shall be done away. 

1 1 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I 
understood as a child, I thought as a child ; but 
when I became a man, I put away childish things. 

12 '' For now we see through a glass, darkly ; 
but then face to face : now I know in part ; but 
then shall I know even as also I am known. 

13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these 
three ; but the greatest of these is charity. 

CHAPTER XIV. 

1 Prophecy is commended, 2, 3, 4 and preferred before 
speaking with tongues, 6 by a comparison drawn from 
musical instruments. 12 Both must be referred to 
edification, 22 as to their true and proper end. 26 The 
true use of each is taught, 29 and the abuse taxed. 34 
Women are forbidden to speak in the church. 

^X^OLLOW after charity, and desire spiritual 
-*- gifts ; but rather that ye may prophesy. 

2 '' For he that speaketh in an unknow?i tongue, 
speaketh not unto men, but unto God : for no 
man understandeth him ; howbeit in the spirit he 
speaketh mysteries. 

3 " But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men 
to edification, and exhortation, and comfort. 

4 He that speaketh in an unhnown tongue 
edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edi- 
lieth the church. 

5 I would that ye all spake with tongues, but 
rather that ye prophesied : for greater is he that 
prophesieth than he that speaketh Avith tongues, 
except he interpret, that the church may receive 
edifying. 

6 '' Now, brethren, if I come unto you speak- 
ing with tongues, what shall I profit you, except 
I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by 
knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine ? 

7 And even things without life giving sound, 
whether pipe or harp, except they give a dis- 
tinction in the sounds, how shall it be known 
what is piped or harped ? 

8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, 
who shall prepare himself to the battle .'

it be known what is spoken ? for ye shall speak 
into the air. 

10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of 
voices in the world, and none of them is with- 
out signifiication. 

1 1 Therefore if 1 know not the meaning of 
the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a 
barbarian ; and he that speaketh shall he a bar- 
barian unto me. 

12 ^ Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zea- 
lous of spiritual gifts, seek that yc may excel 
to the edifying of the church. 

13 '' Wherefore, let him that speaketh in an 
unknown tongue, pray that he may interpret. 

14 5 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, 
my spirit prayeth ; but my understanding is 
unfruitful. 

15 ^ What is it then ? I will pray with the 
spirit, and I will pray wilh the understanding 
also : I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing 
with the understanding also. 

16 ' Else, when thou shalt bless with the spi- 
rit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the 
unlearned, say Amen at thy giving of thanks ? 
seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest. 

17 For thou verily givest thanks well, but 
the other is not edified. 

18 '^ I thank my God, I speak with tongues 
more than you all : 

19 Yet in the church I had rather speak five 
words with my understanding, that hy my voice 
I might teach others also, than ten thousand 
words in an unknoion tongue. 

20 ^ Brethren, be not children in understand- 
ing : howbeit in malice be ye children ; but in 
understanding be men. 

21 "In the lav/ it is written. With men of 
other tongues and other lips will I speak unto 
this people ; and yet for all that will they not 
hear me, saith the Lord. 

22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to 
them that believe, but to them that believe not : 
but prophesying serveth not for them that be- 
lieve not, but for them which believe. 

23 If therefore the whole church becometoge- 
ther into one place, and all speak with tongues, 
and there come in those that are unlearned or 
unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad ? 

24 "But if all prophesy, and there come in 
one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is 
convinced of all, he is Judged of all : 

25 ° And thus are the secrets of his heart made 
manifest ; and so, falling down on his face, he 
will worship God, and report that God is in you 
of a truth.

done unto edifying. ^--^^s/-^^ 

27 If any man speak in an unk7ioivn tongue, 
let it he by two, or at the most hy three, and 
that by course ; and let one interpret. 

28 But if there be no interpreter, let him 
keep silence in the church ; and let him speak 
to himself, and to God. 

29 1 Let the prophets speak two or three, and V\%\q^' 
let the other judge. 

30 If any thing be revealed to another that 
sitteth by, let the first hold his peace. 

31 ''For ye may all prophesy one by one, i^^om-'^, 
that all may learn, and all may be comforted. 

32 ' And the || spirits of the prophets are sub- 
ject to the prophets. 

33 * For God is not the author of confusion, 
but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. 

34 " Let your women keep silence in the i'^'jgU'--'^'

54 "i So when this corruptible shall have put 
on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put 
on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the 
saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in 
victory.

your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

CHAPTER I. 

3 The apostle encourageth them against troubles, by the 
comforts and deliverances which God had given him, as 
in all his afflictions, 8 so particularly in his late danger 
in Asia : 12 and calling both his own conscience and 
theirs to witness of his sincere manner of preaching 
the immutable truth of the gospel, 15 he escuseth his 
not coming to them, as proceeding not of lightness, but 
of his lenity towards them. 

^TJAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the 
-■- will of God, and Timothy our brother, 
unto the church of God which is at Corinth, 
with all the saints which are in all Achaia : 

2 '^ Grace be to you, and peace, from God our 
Father, and//o?n the Lord Jesus Christ. 

3 H •= Blessed be God, even the Father of our 
Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and 
the God of all comfort ; 

4 •" Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, 
that we may be able to comfort them which are 
in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we 
ourselves are comforted of God. 

5 * For as the sufferings of Christ abound in 
us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ. 

6 ' And whether we be afflicted, it is for your 
consolation and salvation, which is effectual in 
the enduring of the same suffering's which we 
also suffer : or whether we be comforted, it is 
for your consolation and salvation. 

7 ^ And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, 
that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so 
shall ye be also of the consolation. 

8 '' For we would not, brethren, have you ig- 
norant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, 
that we were pressed out of measure, above 
strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life : 

9 ' But we had the sentence of death in our- 
selves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but 
in God which raiseth the dead : 

10 "^ Who delivered us from so great a death, 
and doth deliver : in whom we trust that he will 
yet deliver us; 

11 'You also helping together by prayer for 
us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the 
means of many persons, thanks may be given by 
many on our behalf. 

12 ^ m Pqj. Q,jf rejoicing is this, the testimony 
of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly 
sincerity, not with flesJily wisdom, but by the 
grace of God, we have had our conversation in 
the v/orld, and more abundantly to you-ward. 

13 For we write none other things unto you 
than what you read or acknowledge ; and I trust 
you shall acknowledge even to the end ; 

14 ° As also you have acknowledged us in 




Rom. 1, 
11. 

1 Cor. 4, 
19. i; 16, 5 



p I Cor. 4, 
19. & 10,33. 



^ part, that we are your rejoicing, even as ye also 
^ are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus. 

13 "And in this confidence I was minded to 

come unto you before, that you might have a 

second benefit ; 

16 And to pass by you into Macedonia, and 
to come again out of Macedonia unto you, and 
of you to be brought on my way toward Judea. 

17 PWhen I therefore was thus minded, did 
I use lightness ? or the things that I purpose, do chap.'iofz 
I purpose according to the flesh, that with me 

there should be yea, yea, and nay, nay ? 

18 <i But as God is true, our word toward you q -^^^' -'?o 

' J Jameso,12. 

was not yea and nay. 
\ 19 'For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who I^"''¥?■ 

i u J 1 1. & 16, 1/.& 

) was preached among you by us, even by me and i3, a. 
i Silvanus and Tiraotheus, was not yea and nay, 
^ but in him was yea. 

20 For all the promises of God in him ore yea, 
and in him amen, unto the glory of God by us. 

21 ' Now he which stablisheth us with you in %l ^^'^ -' 
Christ, and hath anointed us, is God ; 

22 'Who hath also sealed us, and given the tRom. s, 
earnest of the Spirit in our hearts. chap. 5,5. 

23 H " Moreover I call God for a record upon 1 4! 30! '^' 
j my soul, that, to spare you, I came not as yet jg^*™-' 

imto Corinth. Kcv. 2, 17 

24 ^Not for that we have dominion over your 9. i^^'i.' 
faith, but are helpers of your joy : for by faith Ih.^^'th' 
ye stand. 

CHAPTER II. 

1 Having shewed the reason why he came not to them, 6 
he requireth them to forgive and to comfort that excom- 
municated person, 10 even as himself also, upon his qj 
true repentance, had forgiven him : 12 declaring withal 2 Tim. 4,1. 
why he departed from Troas to Macedonia, 14 and the L^°™- ^'' 
happy success which God gave to his preaching in 1 Cor. 3 5. 
all places.

PauVs success in preaching. II. CORI 

6 " Sufficient to such a man is this punish- 
ment, which ivas inflicted of many. 

7 •■ So that contrariwise ye ought rather to 
forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such 
a one should be swallowed up with over much 
sorrow. 

8 Wherefore I beseech you that you would 
confirm your love towards him. 

9 s For to this end also did I write, that I 
might know the proof of you, whether ye be 
obedient in all things. 

10 '"To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive 
also : for if I forgave any thing, to whom I 
forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the 
person of Christ ; 

1 1 ' Lest Satan should get an advantage of 
us : for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

12 ^ ''Furthermore, when I came to Troas 
to preach Christ's gospel, and a door was opened 
unto me of the Lord, 

13 ' I had no rest in my spirit, because I 
Colo's' 'f I' fo^"^^ "°t Titus my brother : but taking my leave 

of them, I went from thence into Macedonia. 

14 " Now thanks be unto God, which always 
causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh 
manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in 
every place. 

13 ° For we are unto God a sweet savour 
of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them 
that perish : 

16 ° To the one ive are the savour of death 
unto death ; and to the other the savour of life 
unto life. And who is sufficient for these things ? 

17 pFor we are not as many, which corrupt 
the word of God : but as of sincerity, but as of 
God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ. 

CHAPTER III. 

1 Lest their false teachers should charge him with vain- 
glory, he sheweth the faith and graces of the Corin- 
thians to be sufficient commendation of his ministry. 6 
Whereupon entering a comparison between the minis- 
ters of the law, r:nd of the gospel, 12 he proveth that 
his ministry is so far the more excellent, as the gospel 
of life and liberty is more glorious than the law of 
condemnation. 

O we begin again to commend ourselves ? 
or need we, as some others, epistles of 
commendation to you, or letters of commenda- 
tion from you ? 

2 •" Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, 
known and read of all men : 

3 " Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared 
to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, 
written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the 
living God : not in tables of stono, but in fleshly

light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the 
image of God, should shine unto them. 

5 ® For we preach not ourselves, but Christ 
Jesus the Lord ; and ourselves your servants for 
Jesus' sake. 

6 •■ For God, who commanded the light to 
shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, 
to give the light of the knowledge of the glory 
of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 

7 lE^But we have this treasure in earthen 
vessels, that the excellency of the power may be 
of God, and not of us. 

8 '' We are troubled on every side, yet not 
distressed ; we are perplexed, but not in despair ; 

9 ' Persecuted, but not forsaken ; cast down, 
but not destroyed ; 

10 ''Always bearing about in the body the 
dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of 
Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 

1 1 • For we which live are alway delivered 
unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of 
Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 

12 ■" So then death worketh in us, but life 
in you. 

13 "We having the same spirit of faith, ac- 
cording as it is written, I believed, and there- 
fore have I spoken : we also believe, and there- 
fore speak ; 

14 "Knowing that he which raised up the 
Lord Jesus, shall raise up us also by Jesus, and 
sliall present lis with you. 

15 ■* For all things are for your sakes, that.the 
abundant grace might, through the thanksgiving 
of many, redound to the glory of God. 

16 "i For which cause we faint not ; butthough 
our outward man perish, yet the inward man is 
renewed day by day. 

17 ' For our light affliction, which is but for 
a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding 
arid eternal weight of glory ; 

18 MVliile we look not at the things which 
are seen, but at the things which are not seen : 
for the things which are seen are temporal ; but 
the things which are not seen are eternal. 

CHAPTER V. 

1 That in his assured hope of immortal glory, 9 and in 
expectance of it, and of the general judgment, he 
laboureth to keep a good conscience ; 12 not that he 
may herein boast of himself, 14 but as one that having 
received life from Christ, endeavoureth to live as a new 
creature to Christ only, 18 and by his ministry of re- 
conciliation, to reconcile others also in Christ to God. 

^TC^ OR we know that if our earthly house of 
-*- this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a 

building of God, an house not made with hands, 

eternal in the heavens. 

2 ^ For in this we groan, earnestly desiring 

to be clothed upon with our house which is from 

heaven : 



3 = If so be that being clothed we shall not 
be found naked. 

4 "^ For we that are in this tabernacle do 
groan, being burdened : not for that we would 
be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality 
might be swallowed up of life. 

5 ^ Now he that hath wrought us for the self- 
same thing is God, who also hath given unto us 
the earnest of the Spirit. 

6 "^ Therefore we are always confident, know- 
ing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we 
are absent from the Lord ; 

7 s (For we walk by faith, not by sight :) 

8 ''We are confident, I say, and willing rather 
to be absent from the body, and to be present 
with the Lord. 

9 H ' Wherefore we labour, that, whether 
present or absent, we may be accepted of him. 

10 "^ For we must all appear before the judg- 
ment-seat of Christ ; that every one may receive 
the things done in his body, according to that he 
hath done, whether it he good or bad. 

1 1 ' Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, 
we persuade men ; but we are made manifest 
unto God, and I trust also are made manifest in 
your consciences. 

12 "For we commend not ourselves again 
unto you, but give you occasion to glory on our 
behalf, that you may have somewhat to an- 
swer them which glory in appearance, and not 
in heart. % 

13 " For whether we be beside ourselves, it 
is to God : or whether we be sober, it is for 
your cause. 

14 For the love of Christ constraineth us ; 
because we thus judge, that if one died for all, 
then were all dead : 

15 ° And that he died for all, that they which 
live should not henceforth live unto themselves, 
but unto him which died for them, and rose again. 

16 ■' Wherefore henceforth know we no man 
after the flesh: yea, though we have known 
Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know 
we him no more. 

17 9 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is 
a new creature : old things are passed away ; 
beho'id, all things are become new. 

18 ■■ And all things are of God, who hath re- 
conciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath 
given to us the ministry of reconciliation ; 

19 'To wit, that God was in Christ, recon- 
ciling the world unto himself, not imputing their 
trespasses unto them ; and hath committed unto 
us the word of reconciliation. 

20 *Now then we are ambassadors for Christ; 
as though God did beseech you by us, we pray 
you in Christ's stead. Be ye reconciled to God. 

21 " For he hath made h.m to be sin for us

1 That he hath approved himself a faithful minister of * 
Christ, both by his exhortations, 3 and by integrity of i 
life, 4 and by patient enduring all kinds of affliction f 
and disgraces for the gospel. 10 Of which he speaketh ^ 
the more boldly among them, because his heart is i 
open to them, Ts and he expecteth the like affection > 
from them again : 14 exhorting to flee the society and \ 
pollution of idolaters, as being themselves temples of ( 
the living God. '

beseech you also that ye receive not the \ 

grace of God in vain. J

5 ® For, when we were come into Macedonia, 
our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on 
every side ; without ivere fightings, within were 
fears. 

6 ^ Nevertheless God that comforteth those 
thai are cast down, comforted us by the coming 
of Titus ; 

7 And not by his coming only, but by the 
consolation wherewith he was comforted in you, 
when he told us your earnest desire, your 
mourning, your fervent mind toward me ; so 
that I rejoiced the more. 

8 s For though I made you sorry with a let- 
ter, I do not repent, though I did repent : for I 
perceive that the same epistle hath made you Coi. i,'24"

were made sorry, after a godly manner, that ye 
might receive damage by us in nothing.

salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow 
of the world worketh death.

comfort: yea, and exceedingly the more joyed 
we for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was 
refreshed by you all. 

14 " For if I have boasted any thing to him 
of you, I am not ashamed ; but as we spake all 
things to you in truth, even so our boasting, 
which / made before Titus, is found a truth. 

15 " And his inward affection is more abun- 
dant towards you, whilst he remembereth the 
obedience of you all, how with fear and trem- 
bling you received him. 

16 ° I rejoice, therefore, that I have confi- 
dence in you in all thins^s. 

CHAPTER VIII. 

1 He stirreth them up to a liberal contribution for the 
poor saints at Jerusalem, by the example of the Ma- 
cedonians, 7 by commendation of their former for- 
wardness, 9 by the example of Christ, Hand by the 
spiritual profit that shall redound to themselves there- 
by : 16 commending to them the integrity and wiiling- 
rfess of Titus, and those other brethren, who upon his 
request, exhortation, and commendation, were pur- 
posely come to them for this business. 

"IVT ' ^'■*^^'ir^"» we do you to wit 

-^'-*- of the grace of God bestowed on the 
cluirches of Macedonia ; 

2 '' How that, in a great trial of affliction, the 
abundance of their joy and their deep poverty 
abounded unto the riches of their liberality. 

3 For to their power I bear record, yea, and be- 
yond their power, theyivere willing of themselves; 

4 " Praying us with much entreaty that we 
would receive the gift, and take upon us the fel- 
lowship of the ministering to the saints. 

5 And this they did, not as we hoped, but first 
gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us 
by the will of God : 

6 '' Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as 
he had begun, so he would also finish in you 
the same grace also. 

7 " Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in 
faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all 
diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye 
abound in this grace also. 

8 ' I speak not by commandment, but by oc- 
casion of the forwardness of others, and to prove 
the sincerity of your love. 

9 e For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus 
Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your 
sakes he became poor, that ye through his po- 
verty mio;ht be rich. 

10 " And herein I give my advice : for this is 
expedient for you, who have begun before, not 
only to do, but also to be forward a year ago. 

11 Now therefore perform the doing q/'/^* that 



as there was a readiness to will, so there may he 
a performance also out of that which you have. 

12 ' For if there be first a willing mind, it is 
accepted according to that a man hath, and not 
according to that he hath not. 

13 "^ For / mean not that other men be eased, 
and you burdened : 

14 But by an equalit}-, that now at this time 
your abundance may be a supply for their want, 
that their abundance also may be a supply for 
your want, that there may be equality : 

15 * As it is written, He that had gathered 
much had nothing over : and he that had gather- 
ed little had no lack. 

16 1[ But thanks 6e to God, which putthesame 
earnest care into the heart of Titus for you. 

17" For indeed he accepted the exhortation ; 
but being more forward, of his own accord he 
went unto you. 

18 And we have sent with him the brother, 
whose praise is in the gospel throughout all the 
churches ; 

19 ° And not that only, but who was also chosen 
of the churches to travel with us with this grace, 
which is administered by us to the glory of the 
same Lord, and declaration of your ready mind : 

20 ° Avoiding this, that no man should blame 
us in this abundance which is administered by us: 

21 p Providing for honest things, not only in 
the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men. 

22 And we have sent with them our brother, 
whom we have often times proved diligent in 
many things, but now much more diligent, upon 
the great confidence which I have in you. 

23 1 Whether any do inquire of Titus, he is my 
partner and fellow-helper concerning you : or 
our brethren be inquired of, they are the messen- 
gers of the churches, and the glory of Christ. 

24 ■" Wherefore shew ye to them, and before 
the churches, the proof of your love, and of our 
boasting on your behalf. 

CHAPTER IX. 

1 He yieldeth the reason why, though he knew their for- 
wardness, yet he sent Titus and his brethren before- 
hand : 6 And he proceedeth in stirring them up to a 
bountiful alms, as being but a kind of sowing of seed, 10 
which shall return a great increase to them, 12 and oc- 
casion a great sacrilice of thanksgivings unto God. 

^ 1^1 OR as touching the ministering to the saints, 
-T it is superfluous for me to write to you : 

2 ^ For I know the forwardness of your mind, 
for which I boast of you to them of Macedonia, 
that Achaia was ready a year ago ; and your 
zeal hath provoked very many. 

3 " Yet have I sent the brethren, lest our 
boasting of you should be in vain in this be- 
half; that, as I said, ye may be ready : 

4 "^ Lest haply if they of Macedonia come 
with me, and find you unprepared, we (that we

that is in Christ.

I will not glory, but in mine infirmities.

CHAPTER I. ' 

6 He wondereth that they have so soon left him and the 
gospel ; 8 and accurseth those that preach any other 
gospel than he did. 11 Helearned the gospel not of men 
but of God : 13 and sheweth what he was before his 
calhng, 17 and what he did presently after it. 

AUL, an apostle, (not of men, neither by 
man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the 
Father, wlio raised him from the dead ;) 

2 And all the brethren which are with me, 
unto the churches of Galatia : 

3 ^ Grace be to you, and peace, from God the 
Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 

4 " Who gave himself for our sins, that he 
might deliver us from this present evil world, 
according to the will of God and our Father : 

5 To whom 6e glory for ever and ever. Amen. 

6 jI '^ I marvel that vou are so soon removed 
from him that called you into the grace of Christ 
unto another gospel : 

7 * Which is not another ; but there be some 
that trouble you, and Mould pervert the gospel 
of Christ. 

8 ' But though we, or an angel from heaven, 
preach any other go.spel unto you than that which 
we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 

9 ^ As wc said before, so say I now again. If 
any man preach any other gospel unto you than 
that ye have received, let him be accursed. 

10 '' For do I now persuade men, or God ? or 
do I seek to please men ? for if I yet pleased 
men, I should not be the servant of Christ. 

11 H ' But I certify you, brethren, that the gos- 
pel which was preached of me is not after man. 

12 "^ For I neither received it of man, nei- ^ 
thcr was I taught it, but bv the revelation of \ 
Jesus Christ. ( 

13 ' For ye have heard of my conversation ^ 
in time past in the Jews' religion, hoiv that be- ^ 
yond measure I persecuted the church of God, i 
and wasted it ; J 

14 And profited in the Jews' religion above ^ 
many my equals in mine own nation, being * 
more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of f 
my fathers. ^ 

15 "But when it pleased God, who separa- i 
ted me from my mother's womb, and called 7ne \ 
by his grace, ^ 

16 "To reveal his Son in me, that I might ^ 
preach him among the heathen ; immediately I ^ 
conferred not with flesh and blood. * 

17 Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them < 
which were apostles before me ; but I went into ^ 
Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus. ^ 



18° Then after three years I went up to Jerusa- 
km to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days. 

19 P But other of the apostles saw I none, 
save James the Lord's brother. 

20 "^ Now the things Avhich I write unto you, 
behold, before Gcd, 1 lie not. 

21 "■ AfterAvards I came into the regions of 
Syria and Cilicia ; 

22 And was unknown by face unto the 
churches of Judea which were in Christ : 

23 But they had heard only. That he which 
persecuted us in times past, now preacheth the 
faith which once he destroyed. 

24 And they glorified God in me. 

CHAPTEPt II. 

1 He sheweth when he went up again to Jerusalem, and 
for what purpose ; 3 and that Titus was not circumci- 
sed : 1 1 and that he resisted Peter, and told him the 
reason, 14 why he and others, being Jews, do believe 
in Christ to be justitied by faith, and not by works : 20 
and that they live not in sin, who are so justified. 

" fTlHEN, !| fourteen years after, I went up 
-■- again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and 
took Titus with me also. 

2 *> And I went up by revelation, and commu- 
nicated unto them that gospel which I preach 
among the Gentiles; but privately to them which 
were of reputation, lest by any means I should 
run, or had run, in vain. 

3 "^ But neither Titus, who was with me, being 
a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised: 

4 "^ And that because of false brethren una- 
wares brought in, who came in privily to spy out 
our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that 
they might bring us into bondage : 

5 ^ To whom we gave place by subjection, 
no, not for an hour ; that the truth of the gospel 
might continue with you. 

6 ''But of those who f seemed to be some- 
what, whatsoever they were, it maketh no mat- 
ter to me : God accepteth no man's person : for 
they who seemed to be somewhat, in conference 
added nothing to me ; 

7 s But contrariwise, when they saw that the 
gospel of the uncircumcision was committed 
unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision ivas 
unto Peter ; 

8 ^ (For he that wrought effectually in Peter 
to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same 
was mighty in me towards the Gentiles ;) 

9 ' And when James, Cephas, and John, who 
seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was 
given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas 
the right hands of fellowship ; that we should go 
unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.

1 He moveth them to deal mildh' v/itli a brother that hath 
slipped, 2 and to bear one another's burdens ; 6 to be 
liberal to their teachers, 9 and not weary of well 
doing: 12 He sheweth what they intend that preach 
circumcision: 14 He glorieth in nothing, save in the 
cross of Christ. 

^"ORETHREN, if a man be overtaken in a 
-*-^ fault, ye which are spiritual Testore such 
an one m the spirit of meekness ; considering 
thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 

2 ^ Bear ye one another's burdens, and so 
fulfil the law of Christ. 

3 " For if a man think himself to be some- 
thing, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. 

4 '^ But let every man prove his own work, 
and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, 
and not in another : 

3 ® For every man shall bear his own burden. 

6 '' Let hirn that is taught in the word, commu- 
nicate unto him that teacheth, in all good things. 

7 s Be not deceived ; God is not mocked : for 
whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 

8 '' For he that soweth to his flesh, shall of the 
flesh reap corruption ; but he that soweth to the 
Spirit, shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. 

9 ' And let us not be weary in well doing ; 
for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. 

10 "^ As we have therefore opportunity, let us 
do good unto all men, especially unto them who 
are of the household of faith. 

11 TE Ye see how large a letter I have written 
unto you with mine own hand. 

12 ' As many as desire to make a fair shew in 
the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised, 
only lest they should suffer persecution for the 
cross of Christ. 

13 ".For neither they themselves who are cir- 
cumcised keep the law ; but desire to have you 
circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh. 

14 " But God forbid that I should glory, save in 
the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the 
world is crucified unto me, and 1 unto the world. 

13 "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision 
availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a 
new creature. 

16 P And as many as walk according to this 
rule, peace he on them, and mercy, and upon 
the Israel of God. 

] 7 1 From henceforth let no man trouble me ; 
for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.

Christ he with your spirit. Amen.

CHAPTER I. 

1 After the salutations, 3 and thanksgiving for the Ephe- 
sians, 4 he treateth of our election, 6 and adoption by 
grace, 11 which is the true and proper fountain of 
man's salvation : 13 And because the height of this 
mystery cannot easily be attained unto, 16 he prayeth 
that they may come 18 to the full knowledge, and 20 
possession thereof in Christ. 

*'PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ hy the 
-■- will of God, to the saints which are at 
Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus : 

2 ^ Grace be to you, and peace, from God 
our Father, ^nd from the Lord Jesus Christ. 

3 •= Blessed be the God and Father of our 
Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all 
spiritual blessings in heavenly places m Christ : 

4 '' According as he hath chosen us in him be- 
fore the foundation of the world, that we should 
be holy, and without blame before him in love : 

5 ^ Having predestinated us unto the adoption 
of children by Jesus Christ to himself, accord- 
ing to the good pleasure of his will, 

6 ' To the praise of the glory of his grace, 
wherein he hath made us accepted in the Beloved: 

7 ^ In whom we have redemption through his 
blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the 
riches of his grace ; 

8 *■ Wherein he hath abounded toward us in 
all wisdom and prudence ; 

9 ' Having made known unto us the my.stery 
of his will, according to his good pleasure which 
he hath purposed in himself: 

10 "That in the dispensation of the fulness 
of times, he might gather together in one all 
things in Christ, both which are in heaven and 
which are on earth : even in him, 

11 'In whom also we have obtained an f in- 
heritance, being predestinated according to the 
purpose of him who worketh all things after 
the counsel of his own will ; 

12 " That we should be to the praise of his 
glory, who first trusted in Christ. 

13 " In whom ye also trusted, after that ye 
heard the word of truth, the gospel of your sal- 
vation : in Avhom also, after that ye believed, ye 
were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, 

14 ° Which is the earnest of our inheritance, 
until the redemption of the purchased possession, 
unto the praise of his glory. 

15 p Wherefore I also, after 1 heard of your 
faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, 

16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making 
mention of you in my prayers ; 

1 7 "i That the God of our Lord J esus Christ, the 
Father of glory, may give unto you the Spirit of 
wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: 

1 8 ■■ The eyes of your understanding being

For through him we both have an access

having no hope, and without God in the world : 

13 "But now, in Christ Jesus, ye who some- 
times were far off, are made nigh by the blood 
of Christ. 

14 ° For he is our peace, who hath made both 
one, and hatli broken down the middle wall of

even the law of commandments contained in or- 
dinances ; for to make in himself of twain one 
new man, so making peace ;

God in one body by the cross, having slain' the 
enmity thereby ; 

17 ''And came and preached peace to you 
which were afar off and to them that were nigh.

19 * Now therefore ye are no more strangers

apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself 
being the chief corner-stone ;

gether, groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord :

CHAPTER III. 

5 The hidden mystery, 6 that the Gentiles should be 
saved, 3 was made known to Paul by revelation : 8 
and to him was that grace given, that 9 he should 
preach it. 13 He desireth them not to faint for his 
tribulation, 14 and prayeth 19 that they may perceive 
the great love of Christ towards them. 

^ g^ OR this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus 
-^ Christ for you Gentiles, 

2 '' (If ye have heard of the dispensation of the 
grace of God, which is given me to you-ward : 

3 "= How that by revelation he made known un- 
to me the mystery; as I wrote afore in few words, 

4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may under- 
stand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ ; 

5 '^ Which in other ages was not made known 
unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto 
his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit ; 

6 ^ That the Gentiles should be fellow-heirs, 
and of the same body, and partakers of his pro- 
mise in Christ by the gospel ; 

7 f Whereof I was made a minister, according 
to the gift of the grace of God given unto me 
by the effectual working of his power. 

8 s Unto me, who am less than the least of 
all saints, is this grace given, that I should 
preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable 
riches of Christ; 

9 "^ And to make all men see, what is the fel- 



lowship of the mystery, which from the begin- 
ning of the world hath been hid in God, who 
created all things by Jesus Christ : 

1 ' To the intent that now unto the princi- 
palities and powers in heavenly places might be 
known, by the church, the manifold wisdom 
of God, 

11'' According to the eternal purpose which 
he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord : 

12 ' In whom we have boldness and access 
with confidence by the faith of him. 

13 ""Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at 
my tribulations for you, which is your glory. 

14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the 
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 

15 ° Of whom the whole family in heaven 
and earth is named, 

16 ° That he would grant you, according to 
the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with 
might by his Spirit in the inner man ; 

1 7 p That Christ may dwell in your hearts by 
faith ; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 

18 "i May be able 'to comprehend with all 
saints, what is the breadth, and length, and 
depth, and height ; 

19 "■ And to know the love of Christ, which 
passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with 
all the fulness of God. 

20 ^ Now unto him that is able to do exceed- 
ing abundantly above all that we ask or think ; 
according to the power that worketh in us,

Christ Jesus, throughout all ages, world without 
end. Amen.

1 He exhorteth to unity ; 7 and declareth that God there- 
fore giveth divers 1 1 gifts unto men, that his church 
might be 13 ediried, and 16 grown up in Christ. 18 
He calleth them from the impurity of the Gentiles, 24 
to put on the new man, 25 to cast off lying, and 29 
corrupt communication. 

'J THEREFORE, the prisoner of the Lord,) 
-^ beseech you that ye walk worthy of the

he also descended first into the losver parts of 
the earth ? 

10 "^ He that descended is the same also that 
ascended up far above all heavens, that he might 
fill all things.) 

1 1 ' And he gave some, apostles ; and some, 
prophets ; aiid some, evangelists; and some, 
pastors and teachers ; 

12 " For the perfecting of the saints, for the 
work of the ministry, for the edifying of the 
body of Christ : 

13 " Till we all come in the unity of the faith, 
and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a 
perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of 
the fulness of Christ : 

14 ° That we henceforth be no more children 
tossed to and fro, and carried about \vith every 
wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and 
cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to 
deceive ; 

13 P But, speaking the truth in love, may 
grow up into him in all things, which is the head, 
even Christ : 

16 "I From whom the whole body fitly Joined 
together, and compacted by that which every 
joint supplieth, according to the effectual working 
in the measure of every part, maketh increase 
of the body unto the edifying of itself in love. 

1 7 ■■ This I say therefore, and testify in the 
Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gen- 
tiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, 

18 * Having the understanding darkened, be- 
ing alienated from the life of God through the 
ignorance that is in them, because of the blind- 
ness of their heart ; 

19 'Who being past feeling, have given them- 
selves over unto lasciviousness, to work all un- 
cleanness with greediness. 

20 But ye have not so learned Christ ; 

21 V If so be that ye have heard him, and have 
been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus : 

22 ^ That ye put off, concerning the former 
conversation, the old man, which is corrupt ac- 
cording to the deceitful lusts ; 

23 y And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 

24 And that ye put on the new man, which 
■ after God is created in righteousness and true 

holiness. 

25 ^ Wherefore putting away lying, speak 
. every man truth with his neighbour : for we are 
I. members one of another. 

26 * Be ye angry and sin not ; let not the sun 
. go down upon your wrath : 

27 ^ Neither give place to the devil. 

28 ' Let him that stole steal no more : but ra- 
ther let him labour, working with his hands the 
thing which is good, that he may have to give to 
him that needeth. 



29 *" Let no corrupt communication proceed 
out of your mouth, but that which is good to the 
use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto 
the hearers. 

30 ^ And grieve not tlie holy Spirit of God 
whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. 

31 *■ Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, 
and clamour, and evil-sjieaking, be put away 
from you, with all malice : 

32 ^ And be ye kind one to another, tender 
hearted, forgiving one another, even as God for 
Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

tion, 4 and all uncleanness, 7 not to converse with the 
wiclvetl, 13 to nalk waril}', and to be 18 filled with 
the Spirit, 22 he descendeth to the particular duties, 
how wives ought to obey their husbands, 25 and hus- 
bands ought to love their wives, as Christ his church. 

^T>E ye therefore followers of God, as dear 
-■-^ children ; 

2 *> And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved 
us, and hath given himself for us, an offering and 
a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling savour. 

3 •= But fornication, and all uncleanness, or 
covetousness, let it not be once named among 
you, as becometh saints ; 

4 '' Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor 
jesting, which are not convenient; but rather 
giving of thanks. 

5 ^ For this ye know, that no whoremonger, 
nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is 
an idolater, haih any inheritance in the kingdom 
of Christ and of God. 

6 ^ Let no man deceive you with vain words : 
for because of these things cometh the wrath of 
God upon the children of disobedience. 

7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them : 

8 2 For ye were sometime darkness, but now 
are ye light in the Lord : walk as children of light ; 

9 '• (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all good- 
ness and righteousness and truth ;) 

10 ' Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. 

1 1 '^ And have no fellowship with the unfruit- 
ful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. 

12 ' For it is a shame even to speak of those 
things which are done of them in secret. 

13 "But all things that are reproved are made 
manifest by the light : for whatsoever doth make 
manifest is light. 

14 " Wherefore he saith. Awake, thou that 
sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ 
shall give thee light. 

13 ° See then that ye walk circumspectly, not 
as fools, but as wise, 

16 Redeeming the time, because the days 
are evil. 

17 p Wherefore be ye not unwise, but under- 
standing what the will of the Lord is.

1 8 '^ And be not drunk with wine, wherein is 
excess ; but be filled with the Spirit ; 

19 "■ Speaking to yourselves in psalms and 
hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making 
melody in your heart to the Lord ; 

20 ' Giving thanks always for all things unto 
God and the Father, in the name of our Lord 
Jesus Christ ; 

21 ' Submitting yourselves one to another in 
the fear of God. 

22 " Wives, submit yourselves unto your own 
husbands, as unto the Lord. 

23 ^ For the husband is the head of the wife, 
even as Christ is the head of the church : and 
he is the Saviour of the body. 

24 Therefore, as the church is subject unto 
Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands 
in every thing. 

25 ^ Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ 
also loved the church, and gave himself for it ; 

26 ^ That he might sanctify and cleanse it 
with the washing of water by the word : 

27 ^ That he might present it to himself a 
glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or 
any such thing ; but that it should be holy and 
without blemish. 

28 So ought men to love their wives as their 
own bodies: he that loveth his wife loveth 
himself. 

29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh ; 
but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the 
Lord the church : 

30 ^ For we are members of his body, of his 
flesh, and of his bones. 

31 •= For this cause shall a man leave his fa- 
ther and mother, and shall be joined unto his 
wife, and they two shall be one flesh. 

32 This is a great mystery : but I speak con- 
cerning Christ and the church. 

33 '^ Nevertheless, let every one of you in 
particular so love his wife even as himself; and 
the wife see that she reverence her husband.

THE EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE, 

TO THE 

PHILIPPIANS. 




CHAPTER I. 

3 He testifieth his thankfulness to God, and his love to- 
wards them, for the fruits of their faith, and fellowship 
in his suiferings, 9 daily praying to him for their in- 
crease in grace : 12 He sheweth what good the faith 
of Christ had received by his troubles at Rome, 21 
and how ready he is to glorify Christ, either by his 
life or death : 27 exhorting them to unity, 28 and to 
fortitude in persecution. 

aicor.1,1 ^TJAUL and Tiniotheus, the servants of Jesus 
■^ Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which 
are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons ; 

2 " Grace be unto you, and peace, from God 
our Father, 'dnd from the Lord Jesus Christ. 

3 " I thank my God upon every remembrance 
of yon, 

4 (Always in every prayer of mine for you 
all making request with joy,) 

5 " For your fellowship in the gospel, from 
the first day until now ; 

6 ^ Being confident of this very thing, that he 
which hath begun a good work in you will per- 
form it until the day of Jesus Christ : 

7 ' Even as it is meet for me to think this of 
you all, because 1 have you in my heart ; inas- 
much as both in my bonds, and in the defence 
and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are parta- 
kers of my grace. 

8 8 For God is my record, how greatly I long 
after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ. 

9 '' And this I pray, that your love may 
abound yet more and more in knowledge and 
in all judgment ; 

10 ' That ye may approve things that are 
excellent ; that ye may be sincere and without 
oifencc till the day of Christ ; 

1 1 " Being filled with the fruits of righteous- 
ness, which are by Jesus Christ unto the glory 
and praise of God. 

12 But I would ye should understand, bre- 
thren, that the things which happened unto me 
have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the 
gospel ; 

13 ' So that my bonds in Christ are manifest 
in all the palace, and in all other places; 

14 "^ And many of the brethren in the Lord, 
waxing confident by my bonds, are much more 
bold to speak the word without fear. 

15 " Some indeed preach Christ even of envy 
and strife, and some also of good will. 

16 The one preach Christ of contention, not 
sincerely, supposing to add affiiction to my bonds; 

17 ° But the other of love, knowing that I am 
set for the defence of the gospel.

whether in pretence or in truth, Christ is preach- 
ed ; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice. 

19 p For I know that this shall turn to my sal- 
vation through your prayer, and the supply of 
the Spirit of Jesus Christ, 

20 1 According to my earnest expectation and 
my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but 
that with all boldness, as always, so now also 
Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether 
it be by life or by death. 

21 ■■ II For to me to live is Christ, and to die 
is gain. 

22 « But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit 
of my labour : yet what I shall choose I wot not. 

23 * For I am in a strait betwixt two, having 
a desire to depart, and to be with Christ ; which 
is far better : 

24 Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more 
needful for you. 

25 " And having this confidence, I know that 
I shall abide and continue with you all, for your 
furtherance and joy of faith ; 

26 ^ That your rejoicing may be more abun- 
dant in Jesus Christ for me, by my coming to 
you again. 

27 > Only let your conversation be as it be- 
cometh the gospel of Christ ; that, whether I 
come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear 
of your aflaii-s, that ye stand fast in one spirit, 
with one mind, striving together for the faith of 
the gospel ; 

28 ^ And in nothing terrified by your adver- 
saries : which is to them an evident token of per- 
dition, but to you of salvation, and that of God. 

29 " For unto you it is given in the behalf of 
Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to 
suffer for his sake ; 

30 ^ Having the same conflict which ye saw 
in me, and now hear to be in me. 

CHAPTER H. 

I He exhorteth them to unity, and to all humbleness of 
mind, by the example of Christ's humility and exalta- 
tion : 12 to a careful proceeding in the way of salvation, 
that they be as lights to the wicked world, 16 and com- 
forts to him their apostle, who is now ready to be of- 
feied up to God. 19 He hopeth to send Timothy to 
them, whom he greatly commendeth, 25 as Epaphro- 
ditus also, whom he presently sendeth to them. 

^XF there be, therefore, any consolation in 
-*- Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellow- 
ship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, 

2 '' Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be like-minded, 
having the same love, being of one accord, of 
one mind.

11 "^ If by any means I might attain unto the 
resurrection of the dead. 

12 'Not as though I had already attained, 
either were ah'eady perfect : but I follow after, 
if that I may apprehend that for which also I 
am apprehended of Christ Jesus. 

13 Brethren, I count not myself to have ap- 
prehended : but this one thing / do, forgetting 
those things which are behind, and reaching 
forth unto those things which are before, . 

14 " I press toward the mark for the prize of \ 
the hio;h calJins; of God in Christ Jesus. \ 

15 " Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, ) 
be thus minded : and if in any thing ye be other- ' 
wise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you. \ 

16 "Nevertheless, whereto we have already \ 
attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us \ 
mind the same thing. ^ 

17 P Brethren, be followers together of me, ' 
and mark them which walk so, as ye have us \ 
for an ensample. t 

18 'i (For many walk, of whom I have told i 
you often, and now tell you even weeping, that 
they are the enemies of the cross of Christ : 

19 ■■ Whose end is destruction, whose god is 
their belly, and ivhose glory is in their shame, 
who mind earthly things.) 

20 ' For our conversation is in heaven : from 
whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord ) 
Jesus Christ ; i 

21 ' Who shall change our vile body, that it ^ 
may be fasiiioiied like unto his glorious body, } 



according to the working whereby he is able 
even to subdue all things unto himself. 

CHAPTER IV. 

1 From particular admonitions 4 he proceedeth to general 
exhortation?, 10 shewing how he rejoiced at their libe- 
rality towards him lying in prison, not so much for the 
supply of his own wants, as for the grace of God in 
them ; 1 9 and so concludeth with prayer and salutation. 

^ITHHEREFORE, my brethren dearly beloved 
-■- and longed for, my joy and crown, so 
stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved. 

2 ^ I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, 
that they be of tiie same mind in the Lord. 

3 " And I entreat thee also, true yoke-fellow, 
help those women which laboured with me in 
the gospel, with Clement also, and with other 
my fellow-labcurers, whose names are in the 
book of life. 

4 '^ Rejoice in the Lord alway : and again I 
say. Rejoice. 

5 " Let your moderation be known unto all 
men ; The Lord is at hand. 



6 ' Be careful for nothing; but in every thing 
by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, 
let your requests be made known unto God : 

7 6 And the peace of God, which passeth all 
understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds 
through Christ Jesus. 

8 ^ Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are 
true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever 
things are just, whatsoever things are pure, 
whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things 
are of good report ; if there he any virtue, and 
if there he any praise, think on these things. 

9 ' Those things, which ye have both learned, 
and received, and heard, and seen in me, do : 
and the God of peace shall be with you. 

10 •'But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that 
now at the last your care of me hath flourished 
again ; wherein ye were also careful, but ye 
lacked opportunity. 

1 1 ' Not that I speak in respect of want : for 
I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, there- 
ivith to be content. 

12 " I know both how to be abased, and I 
know how to abound : every where, and in all 
things, I am instructed, both to be full and to be 
hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 

13 " I can do all things through Christ which 
strengthcneth me. 

14 ° Nothwithstanding, ye have well done 
that ye did communicate with my affliction. 

15 p Now, ye Philippians, know also, that in 
the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from 
Macedonia, no church communicated with me as 
concerning giving and receiving, but ye only. 

16 For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and 
again unto my necessity. 

17 1 Not because I desire a gift ; but I desire 
fruit that may abound to your account. 

18 ''But I have all, and abound : I am full, 
having received of Epaphroditus the things luAfc/i 
were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, 
a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God. 

19 'But my God shall supply all your need, 
according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. 

20 Now unto God and our Father be glory 
for ever and ever. Amen. 

21 Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The 
brethren which are with me greet you. 

22 * All the saints salute you, chiefly they 
that are of Cesar's household. 

23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be 
with you all. Amen.

Epaphroditus.

over jou, in all our affliction and distress, by 
your faith : 

8 For now we live, if ye stand fast in the 
Lord. 

9 For what thanks can we render to God 
again for you, for all the joy wherewith we joy 
for your sakes before our God ; 

10 ''Night and day praying exceedingly that 
we might see your face, and might perfect that 
which is lacking in your faith ? 

1 1 Now God himself and our Father, and our 
Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you. 

12 s And the Lord make you to increase and 
abound in love one towards another, and to- 
wards all 7neti, even as we do towards you : 

13 ^ To the end he may establish your hearts 
unblameable in holiness before God, even our 
Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ 
with all his saints. 

CHAPTER IV. 

1 He exhorteth them to go forward in all manner of god- 
liness, 6 to live holilj'- and justly, 9 to love one another, 
11 and quietly to follow their own business ; 13 and 
last of all, to sorrow moderately for the dead ; 15 and 
unto this last exhortation is annexed a brief description 
of the resurrection, and second coming of Christ to 
judgment. 

URTHERMORE then we beseech you, 
brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Je- 
sus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought 
to walk and to please God, so ye would abound 
more and more. 

2 For ye know what commandments we 
gave you by the Lord Jesus. 

3 ^For this is the will of God, even your sanc- 
tification, that ye should abstain from fornication : 

4 •= That every one of you should know how 
to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour ; 

3 '^ Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as 
the Gentiles which know not God : 

6 ^ That no man go beyond and defraud his 
brother in any matter ; because that the Lord is 
the avenger of all such, as we also have fore- 
warned you and testified. 

7 ^ For God hath not called us unto unclean- 
ness, but unto holiness. 

8 s He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not 
man, but God, who hath also given unto us his 
holy Spirit. 

9 *' But as touching brotherly love, ye need 
not that I write unto you ; for ye yourselves are 
taught of God to love one another. 

1 * And indeed ye do it toward all the brethren 
which are in all Macedonia : but we beseech 
you, brethren, that ye increase more and more: 

1 1 ^ And that ye study to be quiet, and to do 
your own business, and to work with your own 
hands, as we commanded you ; 

12 ' That ye may walk honestly toward them 



that are without, and that ye may have lack of 
nothing. 

13 H " But I would not have you to be ignorant 
brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that 
ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 

14 " For if we believe that Jesus died and 
rose again, even so them also which sleep in 
Jesus will God bring with him. 

15 ° For this we say unto you by the word of 
the Lord, that we which are alive, and remain 
unto the coming of the Lord, shall not prevent 
them which are asleep. 

16 ^ For the Lord himself shall descend from 
heaven with a shout, with the voice of the arch- 
angel, and with the trump of God: and the dead 
in Christ shall rise first : 

1 7 1 Then we which are alive and remain, 
shall be caught up together with them in the 
clouds, to meet the Lord in the air : and so shall 
we ever be with the Lord. 

18 ' Wherefore comfort one another with 
these words. 

CHAPTER V. 

1 He proceedeth in the former description of Christ's 
coming to judgment, 12 and giveth divers precepts, 2.3 
and so concludeth the epistle. 

UT of the times and the seasons, brethren, 
ye have no need that I write unto you. 

2 ''For yourselves know perfectly that the day 
of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 

3 " For when they shall say. Peace and 
safety ; then sudden destruction cometh upon 
them, as travail upon a woman with child ; and 
they shall not escape. 

4 '^ But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that 
that day should overtake you as a thief. 

3 ^ Ye are all the children of light, and the 
children of the day : we are not of the night, 
nor of darkness. 

6 ' Therefore let us not sleep, as do others ; 
but let us watch and be sober. 

7 s For they that sleep, sleep in the night; and 
they that be drunken, are drunken in the night. 

8 *" But let us who are of the day, be sober, 
putting on the breast-plate of faith and love ; 
and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. 

9 ' For God hath not appointed us to wrath, 
but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, 

10 ^ Who died for us, that, whether we wake 
or sleep, we should live together with him. 

1 1 ^ Wherefore comfort yourselves together, 
and edify one another, even as also ye do. 

12 H ""And we beseech you, brethren, to 
know them which labour among you, and are 
over you in the Lord, and admonish you ; 

13 And to esteem them very highly in love 
for their Avork's sake. And be at peace among 
yourselves.

CHAPTER L ^ 

1 Saint Paul certiMeth them of the good opinion which J 
he had of their fiith, love, and patience; 11 and f 
therewithal useth divers reasons for the comforting of ^ 
them in persecution, whereof the chiefest is taken ^ 
from the righteous judgment of God. f 

''"OAUL, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto J 
-*^ the church of the Thessalonians in God ^' 

our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ : ^ 

2 ^ Grace unto you, and peace, from God our f 

Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. ^ 

3 ' We are bound to thank God always for you, ^ 

brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith ^ 

groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every J 

one of you all towards each other aboundeth : |! 

4 '' So that we ourselves glory in you in the j[ 
churches of God, for your patience and faith in all ^ 
your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure; ( 

5 ^ ^^/^^c/^;.s a manifest token of the righteous ( 
judgment of God, that ye may be counted wor- <• 
thy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also i 
suffer : _ i 

6 ' Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to | 
recompense tribulation to them that trouble you ; * 

7 s And to you who are troubled, rest with ^ 
us ; when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from ( 
heaven with his mighty angels, * 

8 '' In flaming fire, taking vengeance on them ( 
that know not God, and that obey not the gos- i 
pel of our Lord Jesus Christ : i 

9 ' Who shall be punished with everlasting j 
destruction from the presence of the Lord, and ^ 
from the glory of his power ; _ ' 

10 ''When he shall come to be glorified in j 
his saints, and to be admired in all them that j 
believe (because our testimony among you was ( 
believed) in that day. ( 



1 1 ' Wherefore also we pray always for you, 1 1 Thcs. i, 
that our God would count you worthy of this 
calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his 
goodness, and the work of faith with power ; 

12 That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ 
may be glorified in you, and ye in him, accord- 
ing to the grace of our God and the Lord 
Jesus Christ. 

CHAPTER II. 

1 He willeth them to continue stedfast in the truth re- 
ceived ; 3 sheweth that there shall he a departure from 
the faith, 8 and a discovery of antichrist, before the 
day of the Lord come : 16 and thereupon repeateth 
his former exhortation, and prayeth for them. 
^IVrOW we beseech you, brethren, by the 
-L ^ coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by 
our gathering together unto him, 

2 '' That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or 
be troubled, neither by spirit, laor by word, nor 
by letter, as from us, as that the day of Christ 
is at hand. 

3 " Let no man deceive you by any means : 
for that day shall not come, except there come a 
falling away first, and that man of sin be reveal- 
ed, the son of perdition ; 

4 '' Who opposeth and exalteth himself above 
all that is called God, or that is worshipped ; so 
that he, as God, sitteth in the temple of God, 
shewing himself that he is God. 

5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet 
with you, I told you these things ? 

6 And now ye know what withholdeth, that 
he mie;ht be revealed in his time. 

7 * For the mystery of iniquity doth already 
work: only he who now letteth, will let, until 
he be taken out of the way. 

8 ^ And then shall that Wicked be revealed,

CHAPTER V. 

1 Rules to be observed in reproving. 3 Of widows. 17 
Of elders. 23 A precept for Timothy's health. 24 
Some men's sins go before unto judgment, and some 
men's do follow after. 

EBUKE not an elder, but entreat him as a aLev.19,32. 
father ; and the younger men as brethren ; ' ' ' 

2 *• The elder women as mothers ; the younger b2Cor.6,6 
as sisters, with all purity. '"'"''p- *' ^^■ 

3 ' Honour widows that are widows indeed, c Actse, i, 

4 "^ But if any widow have children or ne- a Gen. 45, 
phews, let them learn first to shew piety at home, ^3^ jg 4 
and to requite their parents : for that is good ^^u^'j^S* 
and acceptable before God. 

5 " Now she that is a widow indeed, and de- 
solate, trusteth in God, and continueth in sup- 
plications and prayers night and day. 

6 But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while 
she liveth. 

7 ^ And these things give in charge, that they fch.i,3.Si4, 
may be blameless. 

8 s But if any provide not for his own, and 
specially for those of his own house, he hath 
denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel. 

9 Let not a widow be taken into the number 
under threescore years old, having been the wife 
of one man, 

10 '' Well reported of for good vi/orks ; if she h Gen. is, 
have brought up children, if she have lodged Luke 7,' 38. 
strangers, if she have washed the saints' feet, if 
she have relieved the afflicted, if she have dili- 
gently followed every good work. 

1 1 But the younger widows refuse : for when 
they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, 
they will marry ; 

12 Having damnation, because they have cast 
off their first faith. 

13 ' And withal they learn to he idle, wander- iTitus2,3 
ing about from house to house ; and not only 

idle, but tattlers also, and busy-bodies, speaking 
things which they ought not.

16 ° But shun profane mid vain babblings ; for 
they will increase unto more ungodliness : 

17 P And their word will eat as doth a canker: 
of whom is Hjmeneus and Philetus ; 

18 1 Who concerning the truth have erred, 
saying, That the resurrection is past already ; 
and'wverthrow the faith of some. 

19 ' Nevertheless the foundation of God 
standeth sure, having this seal. The Lord know- 
et them that are his. And, Let every one that 
nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity, 

20 ' But in a great house there are not only 
vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood 
and of earth ; and some to honour, and some to 
dishonour. 

21 Mf a man therefore purge himself from 
these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sancti- 
fied, and meet for the master's use, and prepared 
unto every good work. 

22 "Flee also youthful lusts ; but follow right- 
eousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that 
call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 

23 ^ But foolish and unlearned questions 
avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes. 

24 ^ And the servant of the Lord must not 
strive ; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, 
patient, 

25 ^ In meekness instructing those that oppose 
themselves: if God jieradventure will give them 
repentance to the acknowledging of the truth ; 

26 * And that they may recover themselves 
out of the snare of the devil, who are taken cap- 
tive by him at his will. 

CHAPTER III. 

1 He advertiseth him of the times to come, 6 describeth 
the enemies of the truth, 10 propoundeth unto him his 
own example, 16 and commendeth the holy scriptures. 

^npHIS know also, that in the last days peril- 
-*- ous times shall come. 

2 ** For men shall be lovers of their own selves, 
covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobe- 
dient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 

3 ■= Without natural affection, truce-breakers, 
false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of 
those that are good, 

4 '' Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of 
pleasures more than lovers of God ; 

5 * Having a form of godliness, but denying 
the power thereof: from such turn away. 

6 ' For of this sort are they which creep into 
houses, and lead captive silly women laden with 
sins, led away with divers lusts, 

7 Ever learning, and never able to come to 
the knowledge of the truth. 

8 2 Now as Jannes andJambres withstood Mo- 
ses, so do these also resist the truth : men of cor- 
riijit minds, reprobate concerning the faith. 

9 '' But they shall proceed no further : for 



their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as 
theirs also was. 

10 'But thou hast fully known my doctrine, 
manner of life, purpose, faith, long-suffering, 
charity, patience, 

1 1 ''.Persecutions, afinictions which came unto 
me at Antioch, at Iconiuui, at Lystra ; what per- 
secutions I endured : but out of theta all the 
Lord delivered mc. 

12 ' Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ 
Jesus shall suffer persecution. 

13 "But evil men and seducers shall Avax 
worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. 

14 "But continue thou in the things which 
thou hast learned and hast been assured of, 
knowing of whom thou hast learned them ; 

15 ° And that from a child thou hast known 
the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee 
wise unto salvation through faith which is in 
Christ Jesus. 

16 '' All Scripture is given by inspiration of 
God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, 
for correction, for instruction in righteousness ; 

n ^ That the man of God may be perfect, 
throughly furnished unto all good works.

1 He exhorteth him to do his duty with all care and dili- 
gence ; 6 certitieth him of tlie nearness of his death ; 9 
wilieth him to come speedily unto him, and 11 to bring 
Mark with him, and certain things which he wrote 
for ; 14 warnetii him to beware of Alexander the 
smith ; 16 informeth him what had befallen him at his 
first answering : 19 and soon after he concludeth. 

^T CHARGE f/iee therefore before God, and the 

-^ Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge thequick 

and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom ; 

2 '' Preach the word ; be instant in season, 
out of season ; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with all 
long-suffering and doctrine. 

3 *= For the time will come when they will 
not endure sound doctrine ; but after their own 
lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, 
having itching ears ; 

4 "^ And ihey shall turn away their ears from 
the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. 

5 ^ But watch thou in all things, endure afflic- 
tions, do the work of an evangelist, make full 
proof of thy ministry. 

6 ■■ For I am now ready to be offered, and 
the time of my departure is at hand. 

7 s I have fought a good fight, I have finished 
my course, I have kept the faith : 

8 '' Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown 
of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous 
Jud^o^e, shall give me at that day : and not to 
me only, but unto all them also that love his ap- 
pearing.

CHAPTER I. \ 

t, 5 For what end Titus was left in Crete. 6 How they i 

that are to be chosen ministers ought to be qualified. ^ 

11 The mouths of evil teachers to be stopped : 12 and ^ 

what manner of men they be. > 

'"OAUL, a servant of God, and an apostle of \ 

-*^ Jesus Christ, according to the faith of ^ 

God's elect, and the acknowledging of the J 

truth which is after godliness ; ^ 

2 ^ In hope of eternal life, which God, that ^ 
cannot lie, promised before the world began ; ,» 

3 *= But hath in due time manifested his word J 
through preaching, which is committed unto me, ^ 
according to the commandment of God our j 
Saviour ; ^ 

4 "^ To Titus, mine own son after the common ^ 
faith : Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the (» 
Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour. ( 

5 ^ For this cause left I thee in Crete, that ^ 
thou shouldest set in order the things that are \ 
wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I j 
had appointed thee. \ 

6 ^ If any be blameless, the husband of one ^ 
wife, having faithful children, not accused of J 
riot, or unruly. ^ 

7 sFor a bishop must be blameless, as the / 
steward of God ; not self-willed, not soon angry, J 
not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy J 
lucre ; J 

8 " But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good j 
men, sober, just, holy, temperate ; ^ 

9 ' Holding fast the faithful word, as he hath ^ 
• been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine j 

both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers. ) 

10 '"For there are many unruly and vain ^ 



talkers and deceivers, specially they of the cir- 
cumcision : 

11 MVliose mouths must be stopped; who 
.subvert whole houses, teaching things which 
they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake. 

12 One of themselves, even a prophet of their 
own, said. The Cretians are always liars, evil 
beasts, slow-bellies. 

13 " This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke 
them sharply ; that they may be sound in the faith. 

14 ° Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and 
commandments of men that turn from the truth. 

15 °Unto the pure all things are pure; but 
unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is 
nothing pure ; but even their mind and con- 
science is defiled. 

1 6 P They profess that they kno^v God ; but in 
works they deny him, being abominable, and dis- 
obedient, and mito every good work reprobate. 

CHAPTER II. 

1 Directions given unto Titus both for his doctrine and 
life. 9 Of the duty of servants, and in general of all 
Christians.

cusers, not given to much wine, teachers of "' ' 
good things ; 

4 That they may teach the young women to

children,

THE EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE, TO THE HEBREWS. 



CHAPTER L 

1 Christ in these last times coming to us from the Father, 
4 is preferred above the angels, both in person and 
office. 

OD, who at sundry times and in divers 
manners spake in time past unto the fa- 
thers by the prophets, 

2 ^ Hath in these last days spoken unto us by 
his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all 
things, by whom also he made the worlds ; 

3 = Who being the brightness oihis glory, and 
the express image of his person, and upholding 
all things by the word of his power, when he 
had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the 
right hand of the Majesty on high ; 

4 "^ Being made so much better than the an- 
gels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more 
excellent name than they. 

5 « For unto which of the angels said he at 
any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I be- 
gotten thee ? And again, I will be to him a Fa- 
ther, and he shall be to me a Son ? 

6 ^ And again, when he bringeth in the first- 
begotten into the world, he saith, And let all 
the angels of God worship him. 

7 E And of the angels he saith. Who maketh 
his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. 

8 ''But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O 
God, is for ever and ever : a sceptre of righte- 
ousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom : 

9 ' Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated 



iniquity ; therefore God, even thy God, hath 
anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy 
fellows. 

10 "^ And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast 
laid the foundation of the earth ; and the hea- 
vens are the works of thine hands : 

11 They shall perish, but thou remainest ; 
and they all shall wax old as doth a garment ; 

12 And as a vesture shalt tliou fold them up, 
and they shall be changed : but thou art the 
same, and thy years shall not fail. 

13 ' But to which of the angels said he at any 
time. Sit on my right hand, until I make thine 
enemies thy footstool ? 

14 ■" Are they not all ministering spirits, sent 
forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of 
salvation ? 

CHAPTER II. 

1 We ought to be obedient to Christ Jesus, 6 and that 
because he vouchsafed to take our nature upon him, 
14 as it was necessary. 

" ^ I THEREFORE we ought to give the more 
-*- earnest heed to the things which we have 

heard, lest at any time we should let tliem slip. 

2 ^ For if the word spoken by angels was 
stedfast, and every transgression and disobedi- 
ence received a just recompence of reward ; 

3 " How shall we escape, if we neglect so 
great salvation ; which at the first began to be 
spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto 
us by them that heard him ;

3 = For we which have believed do enter into 
rest; as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if 
they shall enter into my rest: although the works 
were finished from the foundation of the world. 

4 '' For he spake in a certain place of the se- 
venth day on this wise, And God did rest the 
seventh day from all his works. 

5 And in this place again, If they shall enter 
into my rest. 

6 ^ Seeing therefore it remaineth that some 
must enter therein, and they to whom it was first 
preached entered not in because of unbelief: 

7 ^ Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in 
David, To-day, after so long a time ; (as it is 
said) To-day, if ye will hear his voice, harden 
not your hearts.

8 ^ But that which beareth thorns and briers 
is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing ; whose end 
is to be burned. 

9 But, beloved, we are persuaded better things 
of you, and things that accompany salvation, 
though we thus speak. 

10 "" For God is not unrighteous, to forget 
your work and labour of love, which ye have 
shewed towards his name, in that ye have mi- 
nistered to the saints, and do minister. 

1 1 ' And we desire that every one of you do 
shew the same diligence to the full assurance of 
hope unto the end : 

12 *= That ye be not slothful, but followers of 
them who through faith and patience inherit the 
promises. 

13 ' For when God made promise to Abra- 
ham, because he could swear by no greater, he 
sware by himself, 

14 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, 
and multiplying I will multiply thee. 

15 " And so, after he had patiently endured, 
he obtained the promise. 

16 " For men verily swear by the greater: 
and an oath for confiraiation is to them an end 
of all strife. 

17 "Wherein God, willing more abundantly 
to shew unto the heirs of promise the immuta- 
bility of his counsel, confirmed it b}' an oath ; 

18 f That by two immutable things, in which 
it was impossible for God to lie, we might have 
a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge 
to lay hold upon the hope set before us : 

19 1 Which hope we have as an anchor of the 
soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth 
into that within the veil ; 

20 ' Whither the forerunner is for us entered, 
even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after 
the Older of Melchisedec. 

CHAPTER VII. 

1 Christ Jesus is a priest after the order of Melchisedec, 
1 1 and so far more excellent than the priests of Aaron's 
order. 

"X^OR this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest 
-■- of the most high God, who met Abraham 
returning from the slaughter of the kings, and 
blessed him ; 

2 To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part 
of all : first being, by interpretation. King of 
righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, 
which is, King of peace ; 

3 Without father, without mother, without 
descent, having neither beginning of days, nor 
end of life ; but, made like unto the Son of 
God, abideth a priest continually. 

4 " Now consider how great this man ivas, 
unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave 
the tenth of the spoils. 



5 ' Andverily they that are of the sons of Levi, 
who receive the office of the priesthood, have a 
commandment to take tithes of the people ac- 
cording to the law, that is, of their brethren, 
though they come out of the loins of Abraham : 

6 '^ But he, whose descent is not counted from 
them, received tithes of Abraham, and blessed 
him that had the promises. 

7 ^ And without all contradiction the less is 
blessed of the better. 

8 ^ And here men that die receive tithes ; but 
there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed 
that he liveth. 

9 And as I may so say, Levi also, who re- 
ceiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham. 

10 ^ For he was yet in the loins of his father, 
when Melchisedec met him. 

1 1 '' If therefore perfection were by the Leviti- 
cal priesthood, (for under it the people received 
the law,) what further need icastherethnt another 
priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, 
and not be called after the order of Aaron ? 

12 For the priesthood being changed, there 
is made of necessity a change also of the law. 

13 For he of whom these things are spoken, 
pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man 
gave attendance at the altar. 

14 ' For it is evident that our Lord sprang out 
of Juda ; of which tribe Moses spake nothing 
concerning priesthood. 

15 "^ And it is yet far more evident : for that 
after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth 
another priest, 

16 Who is made, not after the law of a car- 
nal commandment, but after the power of an 
endless life. 

17 'For he testifieth, Thou «r?; a priest for 
ever after the order of Melchisedec. 

18 " For there is verily a disannulling of the 
commandment going before, for the weakness 
and unprofitableness thereof: 

19 " For the law made nothing perfect ; but 
the bringing in of a better hope did; by the 
which we draw nigh unto God. 

20 And inasmuch as not without an oath he 
was made priest, 

21 ° (For those priests were made without 
an oath ; but this with an oath, by him that 
said unto him, The Lord sware and will not re- 
pent. Thou art a priest for ever after the order 
of Melchisedec ;) 

22 p By so much was Jesus made a surety of 
a better testament. 

23 ^ And they truly were many priests, be- 
cause they were not suffered to continue by 
reason of death : 

24 But this man, because he continueth ever, 
hath an unchangeable priesthood.

priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne ^ 
of the Majesty in the heavens ; / 

2 "A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true i 
tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man. ^ 

3 •= For every high priest is ordained to offer i 
gifts and sacrifices : wherefore it is of necessity ^ 
that this man have somewhat also to offer. ' 

4 "^ For if he were on earth, he should not be J 
a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer ^ 
gifts according to the law ; ^ 

5 ^ W ho serve unto the example and shadow / 
of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished i 
of God when he was about to make the taber- ) 
nacle : for, See, (saith he) that thou make all i 
things according to the pattern shewed to thee \ 
in the mount. 

6 ^ But now hath he obtained a more excellent 
ministry, by how much also he is the mediator 
of a better covenant, which was established upon 
better promises. 

7 6 For if that first covenant had been fault- 
less, then should no place have been sought for 
the second. 

8 ^ For finding fault with them, he saith, Be- 
hold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will ^ 
make a new covenant with the hjuse of Israel ^ 
and with the house of Judah ; 

9 Not according to the covenant that I made 
with their fathers, in the day when I took them 
by the hand to lead them out of the land of 
Egypt: because they continued not in my cove- 
nant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. 

1 ' For this is the covenant that I will make 
with the house of Israel after those days, saith 
the Lord ; I will put my laws into their mind, 
and write them in their hearts ; and 1 will be to 
them a God, and they shall be to me a people : 



11'' And they shall not teach every man his 
neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, 
Know the Lord : for all shall know me, from 
the least to the greatest. 

12 ' For I will be merciful to their unrighte- 
ousness, and their sins and their iniquities will 
I remember no more. 

13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath 
made the first old. Now that which decayeth 
and waxeth old, is ready to vanish away.

law, 1 1 far inferior to the dignity and perfection of the 
blood and sacrifice of Christ. 

^ y I ^HEN verily the first covenant had also or- 
-^ dinances of divine service, and a worldly 
sanctuary. 

2 '' For there was a tabernacle made ; the first, 
wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and 
the shew-bread, which is called The Sanctuary : 

3 ' And, after the second veil, the tabernacle, 
which is called The Holiest of all ; 

4 '' Which had the golden censer, and the 
ark of the covenant overlaid round about with 
gold, wherein -jyas the golden pot that had manna, 
and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of 
the covenant ; 

5 ^ And over it the cherubims of glory sha- 
dowing the mercy-seat : of which we cannot 
now speak particularly. 

6 ' Now when these things were thus ordain- 
ed, the priests went always into the first taber- 
nacle, accomplishing the service of God: 

7 2 But into the second ivent the high priest 
alone once every year, not without blood, which 
he offered for himself, and ^br the errors of the 
people : 

8 I" The Holy Ghost this signifying. That the 
way into the holiest of all was not yet made mani- 
fest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing: 

9 ' Which ivas a figure for the time then pre- 
sent, in which were offered both gifts and sacri- 
fices, that could not make him that did the ser- 
vice perfect as pertaining to the conscience ; 

10 ^ Which stood only in meats and drinks, 
and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, im- 
posed on them until the time of reformation. 

1 1 > But Christ being come an high priest of 
good things to come, by a greater and more 
perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is 
to say, not of this building ; 

12 " Neither by the blood of goats and calves, 
but by his own blood, he entered in once into 
the holy place, having obtained eternal redemp- 
tion ^/br us. 

13 " For if the blood of bulls and of goats, 
and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, 
sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh i

5 '^ Wherefore, when he cometh into the 
world, he saith. Sacrifice and offering thou 
wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me : 

6 In burnt-offerings and sacrifices for sin thou 
hast had no pleasure : 

7 ® Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of 
\ the book it is written of me) to do thy will, O God. 

19 ' For when Moses had spoken every pre- { 8 Above, when he said, Sacrifice, and offer- 
it to all the people according to the law, he j ing, and burnt-offerings, and o^erms" for sin thou 

wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein ; 

which are offered by the law ; 

9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O 
God. He taketh away the first, that he may 
establish the second. 

10 ^By the which will we are sanctified, 
through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ 
onccj^r all. 

11^ And every priest standeth daily minister- 
ing, and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, 
which can never take away sins : 

12 ""But this man, after he had offered one 
sacrifice for sins, for ever sat down on the right 
hand of God ; 

13 From henceforth expecting till his ene- 
mies be made his footstool. 

14 ' For by one offering he hath perfected for 
ever them that are sanctified. 

15 fVliereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness 
to us : for after that he had said before, 

16 ^ This is the covenant that I will make 
with them after those days, saith the Lord ; I 
will put my laws into their hearts, and in their 
minds will I write them ; 

17 And their sins and iniquities will I remem- 
jl ber no more. 

f 18 Now where remission of these is, there is 
> no more offering for sin.

23 ^ It was therefore necessary that the pat- 
terns of things in the heavens should be purified 
with these ; but the heavenly things themselves 
with better sacrifices than these. 

24 y For Christ is not entered into the holy 
places made with hands, which are the figures of 
the true ; but into heaven itself, now to appear 
in the presence of God for us : 

25 * Nor yet that he should offer himself 
often, as the high priest entereth into the holy 
place every year with blood of others ;

19 "i Accounting that God was able to raise 
him up, even from the dead ; from whence also 
he received him in a figure. 

20 ' By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau 
concerning things to come. 

21 ' By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, 
blessed both the sons of Joseph ; and worship- 
ped, leaning upon the top of his staff. 

22 'By faith Joseph, when he died, made 
mention ofthe departing of the children of Israel ; 
and gave commandment concerning his bones. 

23 " By faith Moses, when he was born, was 
hid three months of his parents, because they 
saw lie was a proper child ; and they were not 
II afraid of the king's commandment. 

24^ By faith Moses, when he was come to 
years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's 
daughter ; 

2o Choosing rather to suffer affliction with 
the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures 
of sin for a season ; 

26 y Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater 
riches than the treasures of Egypt : for he had 
respect unto the recompence of the reward. 

27 ^ By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing 
the wrath ofthe king : for he endured, as seeing 
him who is invisible. 

28 ^ Through faith he kept the passover, and 
the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed 
the first-born should touch them. 

29 " By faith they passed through the Red 
Sea as by dry land : which the Egyptians assay- 
ing to do, were drowned. 

30 " By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, 
after they were compassed about seven days. 

31 '^ By faith the harlot Rahab perished not 
with them that believed not, when she had re- 
ceived the spies with peace. 

32 * x\nd what shall I more say ? for the 
time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of 
Barak, and o/" Samson, and o/Jephthae; q/" Da- 
vid also, and Samuel, and ofthe prophets ; 

33 ' \\ho through faith subdued kingdoms, 
wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stop- 
ped tlie mouths of lions. 

34 s Quenched the violence of fire, escaped 
the edge of the sword, out of weakness were 
made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to 
flight the armies ofthe aliens. 

35 " Women received their dead raised to life 
again : and others were tortured, not accepting 
deliverance ; that they might obtain a better re- 
surrection : 

36 * And others had trial of cruel mockings 
and scourgings, yea moreover, of bonds and im- 
prisonment : 

37 ^ They were stoned, they were sawn asun- 
der, were tempted, were slain with the sword : 



they wandered about in sheep-skins and goat- 
skins ; being destitute, afflicted, tormented ; 

38 * (Of whom the Avorld was not worthy :) 
they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, 
and in dens and caves of the earth. 

39 " And these all, having obtained a good 
report through faith, received not the promise : 

40 ° God having provided some better thing 
for us, that they Avithout us should not be made 
perfect. 

CHAPTER XII. 

1 Ad exhortation to constant faith, patience, and godlinesp. 
22 A commendation ofthe new testament above the old. 

^"VM/^HEREFORE seeing we also are com- 
' ^ passed about with so great a cloud of 
witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the 
sin which doth so easily beset us^ and let us run 
with patience the race that is set before us, 

2 "" Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher 
of our faith ; who, for the joy that was set before 
him, endured the cross, despising the shame, 
and is set down at the right hand of the throne 
of God. 

3 "= For consider him that endured such con- 
tradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be 
wearied and faint in your minds. 

4 "^ Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striv- 
ing against sin. 

5 " And ye have forgotten the exhortation, 
which speaketh unto you as unto children. My 
son, despise not thou the chastening o-f the Lord, 
nor faint when thou art rebuked of him : 

6 ^ For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, 
and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. 

7 s If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with 
you as with sons, for what son is he whom the 
father chasteneth not ? 

8 *■ But if ye be without chastisement, where- 
of all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and 
not sons. 

9 ' Furthermore, we have had fathers of our 
flesh, which corrected us ; and we gave them 
reverence : shall we not much rather be in sub- 
jection unto the Father of spirits, and live ? 

10 '' For they verily for a few days chastened 
us after their own pleasure ; but he for our pro- 
fit, that rve might be partakers of his holiness. 

1 1 ' Now no chastening for the present seem- 
eth to be joyous, but grievous ; nevertheless, af- 
terward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of right- 
eousness unto them which are exercised thereby. 

12 " Wherefore lift up the hands which hang 
down, and the feeble knees ; 

13 ° And make straight paths for your feet, 
lest that which is lame be turned out of the 
way ; but let it rather be healed. 

14 ° Follow peace with all men, and holiness, 
without which no man shall see the Lord :

1 6 1 Lest there he any fornicator, or profane 
person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat 
sold his birth-right. 

17 ' For ye know how that afterward, when 
he would have inherited the blessing, he was 
rejected : for he found no place of repentance, 
though he sought it carefully with tears. 

13 ^ For ye are not come unto the mount that 
might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor 
unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest, 

19 'And the sound of a trumpet, and the 
voice of words ; which voice they that heard, 
entreated that the word should not be spoken to 
them any more : 

20 " (For they could not endure that which 
was commanded, And if so much as a beast 
touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust 
through with a dart. 

21 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses 
said, 1 exceedingly fear and quake :) 

22^ But ye are come unto mount Sion,and un- 
to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusa- 
lem, and to an innumerable company of angels, 

23 y To the general assembly and church of 
the first-born, which are written in heaven, and 
to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just 
men made perfect, 

24 ^ And to Jesus the mediator of the new 
covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that 
speaketh better things than that q/" Abel. 

25 "" See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. 
For if they escaped not who refused him that 
spake on earth, much more shall not we escape 
if we turn away from him that speaketh from 
heaven : 

26 '' Whose voice then shook the earth : but ! 
now he hath promised, saying. Yet once more \ 
I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. \ 

'2.1 <= And this word, Yet once more, signifieth | 
the removing of those things that are shaken, as | 
of things that are made, that those things which 
cannot be shaken may remain.

CHAPTER I. 

1 We are to rejoice under the cross. 5 To ask wisdom 
of God, 13 and in our trials not to impute our weak- 
ness, or sins unto him, 19 hut rather to hearken to the 
word, to meditate in it, and to do thereafter : 26 other- 
wise men may seem, but never be truly religious. 

" TAMES, a servant of God and of the Lord 
•^ Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are 
scattered abroad, greeting. 

2 " My brethren, count it all joy when ye 
fall into divers temptations ; 

3 " Knowing this, that the trying of your 
faith workelh patience. 

4 But let patience have ^er perfect work, that 
ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. 

5 '^ If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of 
God, that givcth to all men liberally, and up- 
braideth not ; and it shall be given him. 

6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. 
For he that wavereth, is like a wave of the sea 
driven with the wind and tossed. 

7 For let not that man think that he shall re- 
ceive any thing of the Lord. 

8 A double-minded man is unstable in all his 
ways. 

9 ^ Let the brother of low degree rejoice in 
that he is exalted ; 

10 ^ But the rich, in that he is made low; be- 
cause as the flower of the grass he shall pass away. 

1 1 For the sun is no sooner risen with a burn- 
ing heat, but it withereth the grass, and the 
flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the 
fashion of it perisheth : so also shall the rich 
man fade away in his ways. 

12 s Blessed is the man that endureth tempta- 
tion : for when he is tried, he shall receive the 
crown of life, which the Lord hath promised 
to them that love him. 

13 ''Let no man say when he is tempted, I 
am tempted of God : for God cannot be tempted 
with evil, neither tempteth he any man : 

14 But every man is tempted, when he is 
drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 

15 ' Then when lust hath conceived, it bring- I 
eth forth sin : and sin, when it is finished, bring- ! 
eth forth death. \ 

16 Do not err, my beloved brethren | 



17'' Every good gift, and every perfect gift, 
is from above, and cometh down from the Fa- 
ther of lights, with whom is no variableness, 
neither shadow of turning. 

18 'Of his own will begat he us with the 
word of truth, that we should be a kind of first- 
fruits of his creatures. 

19 ""Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let 
every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow 
to wrath : 

20 ° For the wrath of man worketh_not the 
righteousness of God. 

21 " Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and su- 
perfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meek- 
ness the engrafted word, which is able to save 
your souls. 

22 p But be ye doers of the word, and not 
hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 

23 1 For if any be a hearer of the word, and 
not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his 
natural face in a glass : 

24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his 
way, and straightway forgetteth what manner 
of man he was. 

25 ' But whoso looketh into the perfect law 
of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not 
a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this 
man shall be blessed in his deed. 

26 ' If any man among you seem to be reli- 
gious and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth 
his own heart, this man's religion is vain. 

27 * Pure religion, and undefiled before God 
and the Father, is this, To visit the fatherless 
and widows in their affliction, and to keep him- 
self unspotted from the world. 

CHAPTER II. 

1 It is not agreeable to Christian profession to regard the 
rich, and to de.«pise the poor brethren : 13 rather we 
are to be loving and merciful ; 14 and not to boast of 
faith, where no deeds are : 17 which is but a dead 
faith, 19 the faith of devils, 21 not of Abraham, 25 
and Rahab. 

Y brethren, have not the faith of our Lord 
Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with re- 
spect of persons. 

2 For if there come unto your assembly a 
man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel ; and 
there come in also a poor man in vile raiment ;

We are not rashly or arrogantly to reprove others : 5

without envying and strife. 

Y brethren, be not many masters, know- 
ing that we shall receive the greater con- 
demnation.

CHAPTER IV. 

1 We are to stride against covetousness, 4 intemperance, 
5 pride, 1 1 detraction and rash judgment of others : 
13 and not to be confident in the good success of 
worldly business ; but mindful ever of the uncertainty 
of this life, to commit ourselves and all our affairs to 
God's providence. 

^nC^ROM whence come wars and fightings 
-■- among you ? come they not hence, even of 

your lusts that war in your members ? 

2 '' Ye lust, and have not : ye kill, and desire 
to have, and cannot obtain : ye fight and war, 
yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 

3 *= Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask 
amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. '( 

4 "^ Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye t 
not that the friendship of the world is enmity ( 
with God ? whosoever therefore will be a friend i 
of the world, is the enemy of God. J 

5 " Do ye think that the Scripture saith in vain, J 
The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy ? 

6 ' But he giveth more grace : wherefore he 
saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace 
unto the humble. t 

7 6 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Re- ^ 
sist the devil, and he will flee from you. I 

8 '' Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh ^ 
to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners : and j 
purify your hearts, ye double-minded. ' 

9 ' Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep : let ' 
your laughter be turned to mourning, and your i 
joy to heaviness. * 

10 ''Humble yourselves in the sight of the ' 
Lord, and he shall lift you up. ' 

1 1 ' Speak not evil one of another, brethren. ' 
He that speaketh evil of /t/5 brother, and judgeth ^ 
his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth ^ 
the law : but if thou judge the law, thou art not ^ 
a doer of the law, but a judge. f 

12 "There is one Lawgiver, who is able to ^ 
save and to destroy : who art thou that judgest <• 
another ? / 

13 " Go to now, ye that say. To-day or to- f 
morrow we will go into such a city, and conti- i 
nue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain. \ 

14 <= Whereas ye know not what shall be on \ 
the morrow : For what is your life ? It is even j 
a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and * 
then vanisheth away. i 

13 PFor that ye ought to say. If the Lord ^ 
will, we shall live, and do this, or that. ^ 



16 "J But now ye rejoice in your boastings: 
all such rejoicing is evil. 

17 'Therefore to him that knoweth to do 
good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. 

CHAPTER V. 

1 Wicked rich men are to fear God's vengeance. 7 We 
ought to be patient in afflictions, after the example of 
the prophets, and Job ; 12 to forbear swearing •, 13 to 
pray in adversity, to sing in prosperity, 16 to acknow- 
ledge mutually our several faults, to pray one for ano- 
ther ; 19 and to reduce a straying brother to the truth. 
O to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for 
your miseries that shall come upon you. 

2 ^ Your riches are corrupted, and your gar- 
ments moth-eaten. 

3 ■= Your gold and silver is cankered ; and the 
rust of them shall be a Avitness against you, and 
shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have 
heaped treasure together for the last days. 

4 "^ Behold, the hire of the labourers which 
have reaped down your fields, which is of you 
kept back by fraud, crieth : and the cries of 
them which have reaped are entered into the 
ears of the Lord of Sabaoth. 

5 ^ Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and 
been wanton ; ye have nourished your hearts, 
as in a day of slaughter. 

6 ^ Ye have condemned and killed the just ; 
and he doth not resist you. 

7 s Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the 
coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman 
waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and 
hath long patience for it, until he receive the 
early and latter rain. 

8 '' Be ye also patient ; stablish your hearts : 
for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. 

9 ' Grudge not one against another, brethren, 
lest ye be condemned : behold, the judge stand- 
eth before the door. 

10 ''Take, my brethren, the prophets, who 
have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an ex- 
ample of suffering affliction, and of patience. 

1 1 ' Behold, we count them happy which en- 
dure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, 
and have seen the end of the Lord ; that the 
Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy. 

12 ■" But above all things, my brethren, swear 
not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, 
neither by any other oath : but let your yea be 
yea, and your nay, nay ; lest ye fall into con- 
demnation. 

13 " Is any among you afiflicted ? let him 
pray. Is any merry ? let him sing psalms. 

14 ° Is any sick among you ? let him call 
for the elders of the church ; and let them pray 
over him, anointing him with oil in the name of 
the Lord : 

15 "^ And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, 
and the Lord shall raise him up ; and if he have

The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man

THE FIRST EPISTLE GENERAL OF PETER. 



CHAPTER I. 

1 He bles.seth Go J for his manifold spiritual graces, 10 
shewing that the salvation in Christ is no news, but a 
thing prophesied of old : 13 and exhorteth them ac- 
cordingly to a godly conversation, forasmuch as they 
are now born anew by the word of God. 

ETER, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the 
strangers scattered throughout Pontus, 
Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, 

2 ^ Elect according to the foreknowledge of 
God the Father, through sanctification of the 
Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood 
of Jesus Christ ; Grace unto you, and peace, be 
multiplied. 

3 <= Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord 
Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant 
mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope 
by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 

4 '' To an inheritance incorruptible, and un- 
defiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in 
heaven for you,- 

5 ^ Who are kept by the power of God through 
faith unto salvation, ready to be revealed in the 
last time. 

6 '' Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now 
for a season, (if need be,) ye are in heaviness 
through manifold temptations : 

7 s That the trial of your faith, being much 
more precious than of gold thatperisheth, though 
it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise 
and honour and glory at the appearing of Je- 
sus Christ : 

8 ''Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, 
though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye 
rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory : 

9 ' Receiving the end of your faith, even the 
salvation of your souls. 

10 "^ Of which salvation the prophets have in- 
quired and searched diligently, who prophesied 
of the grace that should come unto you : 

1 1 ' Searching what, or what manner of time 
the Spirit of Christ which was in them did sig- 
nify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings 
of Christ, and the glory that should follow. 

12 ™ Unto whom it was revealed, that not un- 



^ to themselves but unto us they did minister the 

( things, which are now reported unto you by them 

that have preached the gospel unto you Avith the 

Holy Ghost sent down from heaven ; which 

things the angels desire to look into. 

13 " Wherefore gird up the loins of your 
mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the 
grace that is to be brought unto you at the re- 
velation of Jesus Christ; 

14 ° As obedient children, not fashioning 
yourselves according to the former lusts in your 
ignorance : 

15 P But as he which hath called you is holy, 
so be ye holy in all manner of conversation ; 

16 1 Because it is written. Be ye holy; for 
I am holy. 

17 '' And if ye call on the Father, who with- 
out respect of persons judgeth according to 
every man's work, pass the time of your so- 
journing here in fear : 

^ 18 ^ Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not 
> redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and 
i gold, from your vain conversation received by 
J tradition from your fathers ; 
^ 19 * But with the precious blood of Christ, as 
' of a lamb without blemish and without spot : 
) 20 " Who verily was fore-ordained before the 
<• foundation of the world, but was manifest in 
( these last times for you ; 

' 21 "" Who by him do believe in God, that 
I raised him up from the dead, and gave him glo- 
ry, that your faith and hope might be in God. 

22 >■ Seeing ye have purified your souls in 
obeying the truth through the Spirit unto un- 
feigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one 
another with a pure heart fervently : 

2,3 ^ Being born again, not of corruptible seed, 
but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which 
iveth and abideth for ever. 
24 ^ For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory 
^ of man as the flower of gra.ss. The grass wither- 
J eth, and the flower thereof falleth away : 
^ 25 But the word of the Lord endureth for 
' ever. And this is the word which by the gospel 
^ is preached unto you.

He dehorteth them from the breach of charity ; 4 shewing 
that Christ is the foundation whereon they are built. 11 
He beseeciieth them also tc abstain from tleshiy hists, 13 
to be obedient to magistrates ; 18 and teacheth servants 
how to obey their masters, 20 patiently suffering for well- 
doing, after tlie example of Christ. 

* W^HEREFORE laving aside all malice and 
' " all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, 
and evil speakings, 

2 As new-born babes, desire the sincere milk 
of the word, that ye may grow thereby : 

3 >> It" so be ye have tasted that the Lord is 
gracious. 

4 ' To whom coming, as unto a living stone, 
disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, 
and precious. 

b '^Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spi- 
ritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiri- 
tual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. 

6 * Wherefore also it is contained in the Scrip- 
ture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner-stone, 
elect, precious : and he that believeth on him 
shall not be confounded. 

7 ^ Unto you therefore which believe, he is 
precious : but unto them which be disobedient, 
the stone which the builders disallowed, the 
same is made the head of the corner, 

8 = And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of 
offence, even to them a\ hich stumble at the 
word, being disobedient : whereunto also they 
were appointed. 

9 *■ But ye are a chosen generation, a royal 
priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people ; 
that ye should shew forth the praises of him 
who hath called you out of darkness into his 
marvellous light : 

10 ' Which in time past 2t'cre not a people, but 
are now the people of God : which had not ob- 
tained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. 

11 H ^' Dearly beloved, I beseech you as stran- 
gers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, 
which war against the soul ; 

12 ' Having your conversation honest among 
the Gentiles : that whereas they speak against 
you as evil doers, they may by your good works, 
which they shall behold, glorify God in the day 
of visitation. 

13 " Submit yourselves to every ordinance 
of man for the Lord's sake : whether it be to 
the kinir, as supreme ; 

14 ° Or unto governors, as unto them that are 
sent by him for the punishment of evil doers, 
and for the praise of them that do well. 

15 ° For so is the will of God, that with well 
doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of 
foolish men : 

16 p As free, and not using your liberty for a 
cloak of maliciousness,but as the servants of God. 



1 7 1 Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. 
Fear God. Honour the king. 

18 H *■ Servants, he subject to your masters 
with all fear ; not only to the good and gentle, 
but also to the froward.

THE SECOND EPISTLE GENERAL OF PETER. 



CHAPTER I. 

1 Confirming them in the hope of the increase of God's 
gracos, 5 he exhorteth them by faith and good works, to 
make their calling sure : 12 Whereof he is careful to 
remember them, knowing tiiat his death is at hand : 
16 and warneth them to be constant in the faith of 
Christ, who is the true Son of God, by the eye-witness 
of the a[)ostlos beholding his majesty, and by the testi- 
mony of the Father and the prophets. 

'C^IMON Peter, a servant and an apostle of 
^^ Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained 
like precious faith with us through the righteous- 
ness of God and our .Saviour Jesus Christ : 

2 " Grace and peace be multiplied unto you 
through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus 
our Lord. 

3 H " According as his divine power hath 
given unto us all things that pertain unto life 
and godliness, through the knowledge of him 
that hath called us to glory and virtue : 

4 '^ Whereby are given unto us exceeding great 
and precious promises ; that by these you might 
be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped 
the corruption that is in the world through lust. 

5 ^ And besides this, giving all diligence, add 
to your faith virtue ; and to virtue knowledge ; 

6 And to knowledge temperance ; and to tem- 
perance patience ; and to patience godliness ; 

7 ' And to godliness brotherly kindness : and 
to brotherly kindness charity. 



8 2 For if these thijigs be in you, and abound, 
they make you that ye shall neither be barren 
nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Je- 
sus Christ. 

9 '' But he that lacketh these things is blind, 
and cannot see afar off", and hath forgotten that 
he Avas purged from his old sins. 

10 ' Wherefore the rather, brethren, give dili- 
gence to make your calling and election sure : 
for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall : 

11 For so an entrance shall be ministered 
unto you abundantly into the everlasting king- 
dom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. 

12 '' AVherefore I will not be negligent to put 
you always in remembrance of these things, 
though ye know them, and be stablished in the 
present truth. 

13 ' Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in 
this tabernacle, to stir you up, by putting you in 
remembrance ; 

14 ° Knowing that shortly I must put ofl" this 
my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ 
hath shewed me. 

15 " Moreover, I will endeavour that you may 
be able after my decease to have these things 
always in remembrance. 

16 ° For we have not followed cunningly 
devised fables, when we made known unto 
you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus

False teachers described. 

Christ, but were eye-witnesses of his majesty. ^ 
17^ For he rec^eived from God the Father ' 
honour and glory, when there came such a voice * 
to him from the excellent glory, This is my be- 
loved vSon, in whom I am well pleased. 

18 <J And this voice which came from hea- 
ven we heard, when we were with him in the 
holy mount. 

1 9 "■ We have also a more sure word of prophe- 
cy ; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as 
unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the f 
day dawn, and the day-star arise in your hearts ; ^ 

20 ' Knowing this first, that no prophecy of c 
the Scripture is of any private interpretation. / 

21 * For the prophecy came not in old time ^ 
by the will of man : but holy men of God spake ^ 
as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. 

CHAPTER II. 

1 He foretelleth them of false teachers, shewing the im- 
piety and punishment both of them and their followers ; 
7 from which the godly shall be delivered, as Lot was i 
out of Sodom : 10 and more fully describeth the man- i 
ners of those profane and blasphemous seducers, where- ^ 
by they may be the better known and avoided. 

* "OUT there were false prophets also among 
-^-^ the people, even as there shall be false 
teachers among you, who privily shall bring in 
damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that 
bought them, and bring upon themselves swift 
destruction. 

2 And many shall follow their pernicious 
ways ; by reason of whom the way of truth 
shall be evil spoken of 

3 ^ And through covetousness shall they with 
feigned words make merchandise of you : whose 
judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and 
their damnation slumbereth not. 

4 " For if God spared not the angels that sin- 
ned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered 
them into chains of darkness, to be reserved un- 
to judgment ; 

5 ** And spared not the old world, but saved 
Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righte- 
ousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of 
the ungodly ; 

6 <= And turning the cities of Sodom'and Go- ^ 
morrah into ashes, condemned them with an j 
overthrow, making them an cnsample unto those > 
that after should Hve ungodly ; / 

7 f And delivered just Lot, vexed with the j 
filthy conversation of the wicked : i 

8 s (For that righteous man dwelling among \ 
them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous f. 
soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds :) ^ 

9 '' The Lord knoweth how to deliver the j 
godly out of temptations, and to reserve the un- ^ 
just unto the day of judgment to be punished : > 

10 ' But chiefly them that walk after the flesh > 
in the lust of uncleanness, and despise govern- \

II. PETEKr Of Chris fs coming to judgment. 

ment : presumptuous are they, self-willed ; they 
are not afraid to speak evil of dignities. 

11'' Whereas angels, which are greater in 
power and might, bring not railing accusation 
against them before the Lord. 

12 'But these, as natural brute beasts, made 
to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the 
things that they understand not ; ami shall ut- 
terly perish in their own corruption ; 

13 "And shall receive the reward of unrighte- 
ousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot 
in the day-time. Spots they are and blemishes, 
sporting themselves with tiieir own deceivings, 
while they feast with jou ; 

14 " Having eyes full of adulter}', and that 
cannot cease from sin ; beguiling unstable souls : 
an heart they have exercised with covetous 
practices ; cursed children : 

15 ° Which have forsaken the right way, and 
are gone astray, following the way of Balaam 
the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of un- 
righteousness ; 

16 But was rebuked for his iniquity : the 
dumb ass, speaking with man's voice, forbad the 
madness of the prophet. 

1 7 P These are wells without water, clouds 
that are carried with a tempest ; to whom the 
mist of darkness is reserved for ever. 

1 8 "J For when they speak great swelling words 
of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the 
flesh, through much wantonness, those that were 
clean escaped from them who live in error. 

19 ■■ While they promise them liberty, they 
themselves are the servants of corruption : for 
of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he 
brought in bondage. 

20 ^ For if after they have escaped the pollu- 
tions of the world, through the knowledge of the 
Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again 
entangled therein and overcome, the latter end 
is worse with them than the beginning. 

21 ' For it had been better for them not to 
have known the way of righteousness, than, 
after they have known it, to turn from the holy 
commandment dehvered unto them. 

22 " But it is happened unto them according 
to the true proverb. The dog is turned to his 
own vomit again ; and, The sow that was wash- 
ed, to her wallowing in the mire. 

CHAPTER III. 

1 He assureth them of the certainty of Christ's coming to 
judgment, against those scorners who dispute against 
it ; 8 warning the godly for the long patience of God, 
to hasten their repentance. 10 He describeth also the 
manner how the world shall be destroyed : 1 1 exhorting 
them, from the expectation thereof, to all holiness of life.

2 " That ye may be mindful of the words 
which were spoken before by the holy prophets, 
and of the commandment of us the apostles of 
the Lord and Saviour : 

3 •= Knowing this first, that there shall come 
in the last days scoffers, walking after their 
own lusts, 

4 "^ And saying, Where is the promise of his 
coming ? for since the fathers fell asleep, all 
things continue as they were from the beginning 
of the creation. 

5 ^ For this they willingly are ignorant of, 
that by the word of God the heavens were of 
old, and the earth standing out of the water and 
in the water : 

6 ^ Whereby the world that then was, being 
overflowed with water, perished : 

7 6 But the heavens and the earth, which are 
now, by the same word are kept in store, re- 
served unto fire against the day of judgment and 
perdition of ungodly men. 

8 '' But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one 
thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thou- 
sand years, and a thousand years as one day. 

9 • The Lord is not slack concerning his pro- 
mise, as some men count slackness ; but is long- 
sulTeriiig to us- ward, not willing that any should 
perish, but that all should come to repentance. 

10 " But the day of the Lord will come as a 
thief in the night ; in the which the heavens 
shall pass away with a great noise, and the ele- 



ments shall melt with fervent heat; the earth also, 
and the works that are therein, shall be burnt up. 

1 1 Seeing then that all these things shall be 
dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to 
be in all holy conversation and godliness ; 

12 ' Looking for and hasting unto the coming 
of the day of God, wherein the heavens, being 
on fire, shall be dissolved, and the elements 
shall melt with fervent heat ? 

13 ° Nevertheless we, according to his pro- 
mise, look for new heavens and a new earth, 
wherein dwelleth righteousness. 

14 " W^herefore, beloved, seeing that ye look 
for such things, be diligent that ye may be found 
of him in peace, v/ithout spot, and blameless : 

15 °And account that the long-suffering of 
our Lord is salvation ; even as our beloved bro- 
ther Paul also, according to the wisdom given 
unto him, hath written unto you ; 

16 pAs also in all /us epistles, speaking in them 
of these things ; in which are some things hard 
to be understood, which they that are unlearned 
and unstable wrest, as they do also the other 
scriptures, unto their own destruction. 

1 7 •» Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know 
these things before, beware lest ye also, being 
led away with the error of the wicked, fall from 
your own stedfastness. 

18 ' But groAv in grace, and in the knowledge 
of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him 
be glory, both now and for ever. Amen.

CHAPTER L 

1 He describeth the person of Christ, in whom we have 
eternal life bv a communion with God : 5 to which we 
must adjoin holiness of life, to testify the truth of that 
our communion and profession of faith, as also to assure 
us of the forgiveness of our sins by Christ's death. 

^rri HAT which was from the "beginning, which 
i we have heard, which we have seen with 

our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our 

hands have handled, of the word of life ; 

2 "(For the Life was manifested, and we have 
seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you 
that eternal Life, which was with the Father, 
and was manifested unto us ;) 

3 <= That which we have seen and heard de- 
clare we unto you, that ye also may have fel- 
lowship with us: and truly our fellowship is 
with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. 

4 " And these things write we unto you, that 
your joy may be full. 

5 ^ This then is the message which we have 
heard of him, and declare unto you, that God 
is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 

6 f If we say that we have fellowship with him. 



and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 

7 ^ But if we walk in the light, as he is in 
the light, we have fellowship one with another, 
and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth 
us from all sin. 

8 "^ If we say that we have no sin, we deceive 
ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 

9 ' If we confess our sins, he is faithful and 
just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from 
all unrighteousness. 

10 If we say that we have not sinned, we 
make him a liar, and his word is not in us. 

CHAPTER II. 

1 He comforteth them against the sins of infirmity. 3 
Rightly to know God is to keep his commandments, 9 
to love our brethren, 15 and not to love the world. 18 
We must beware of seducers : 20 from whose deceits 
the godly are safely preserved by perseverance in 
faith, and holiness of life. 

^ll/rY little children, these things write 1 unto 
J-TJ- you, that ye sin not. And if any man 

sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus 

Christ the righteous : 
2 ^ And he is the propitiation for our sins :

1 Hethatloveth God, loveth his children, and keepeth 
his commandments ; 3 which to the faithful are light, 
and not grievous. 9 Jesus is the Son of God, able to 
save us, 14 and to hear our prayers, which we make 
for ourselves, and for others. 

WHOSOEVER believeth that Jesus is the 
Christ, is born of God : and every one 
that loveth him that begat, loveth him also that 
is begotten of him. 

2 " By this we know that we love the chil- 
dren of God, when we love God, and keep his 
commandments. 

3 " For this is the love of God, that we keep 
his commandments : and his commandments are 
not grievous. 

4 '^ For whatsoever is born of God overcom- 
eth the world : and this is the victory that over- 
cometh the world, even our faitli. 

5 ® Who is he that overcometh the world, but 
he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God ? 

6 ^ This is he that came by water and blood, 
even Jesus Christ ; not by water only, but by 
water and blood. And it is the Spirit that bear- 
eth witness, because the Spirit is truth. 

7 = For there are three that bear record in 
heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy 
Ghost : and these three are one. 

8 ^ And there are three that bear witness in 
earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood : 
and these three agree in one. 

9 ■ If we receive the witness of men, the wit- 
ness of God is greater : for this is the witness of 
God, which he hath testified of his Son. 

10 •= He that believeth on the Son of God hath 
the witness in himself: he that believeth not 



God, hath made him a liar ; because he believ- 
eth not the record that God gave of his Son. 

1 1 ' And this is the record, that God hath given 
to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 

12 ° He that hath the Son, hath life ; and he 
that hath not the Son of God, hath not life. 

13 H ° These things have I written unto you 
that believe on the name of the Son of God ; that 
ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that 
ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. 

14 " And this is the confidence that we have 
in him, That, if we ask any thing according to 
his will, he heareth us : 

15 And if we know that he hear us, whatso- 
ever we ask, we know that we have the petitions 
that we desired of him. 

16 P If any man see his brother sin a sin ivhich 
is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give 
him life for them that sin not unto death. There 
is a sin unto death : I do not say that he shall 
pray for it. 

17 "i All unrighteousness is sin : and there is 
a sin not unto death. 

1 8 ■■ We know that whosoever is born of God 
sinneth not ; but he that is begotten of God 
keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth 
him not. 

19 = And we know that we are of God, and 
the whole world lieth in wickedness. 

20 ' And we know that the Son of God is 
come, and hath given us an understanding, that 
we may know him that is true : and we are in 
him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. 
This is the true God, and eternal life. 

21 " Little children, keep yourselves from 
idols. Amen.

2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou ) 
mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy 
soul prospereth. 

3 " For I rejoiced greatly when the brethren 
came and testified of the truth that is in thee, 
even as thou walkest in the truth. 

4 •= I have no greater joy than to.hear that my 
children walk in truth. 

5 Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever 
thou doest to the brethren and to strangers ; 

6 Which have borne witness of thy charity 
before the church : whom if thou bring for- 
ward on their journey after a godly sort, thou 
shalt do well :

malicious words : and not content therewith, 
neither doth he himself receive the brethren,

them out of the church.

He exhorteth them to be constant in the profession of the 

faith. 4 False teachers are crept in to seduce them ; 

for whose damnable doctrine and manners, horrible 

punishment is prepared : 20 whereas the godly, by the 

assistance of the Holy Spirit, and prayers to God, may 

persevere and grow in grace, and keep themselves, 

and recover others out of the snares of those deceivers. 

*TUDE, the servant of Jesus Christ, and bro- 

•^ ther of James, to them that are sanctified 

by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus 

Christ, and called : 

2 INIercy unto you, and peace, and love, be 
multiplied. 

3 "Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write 
unto you of the common salvation, it was need- 
ful for me to write unto you, and exhort you 
that ye should earnestly contend for the faith 
which was once delivered unto the saints. 

4 *= For there are certain men crept in una- 
wares, who were before of old ordained to this 
condemnation ; ungodly men, turning the grace 
of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the 



only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. 
b '^\ will therefore put you in remembrance, 
though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, 
having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, 
afterward destroyed them that believed not. 

6 * And the angels which kept not their first 
estate, but left their own habitation, he hath 
reserved in everlasting chains, under darkness, 
unto the judgment of the great day. 

7 '^Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the 
cities about them, in like manner giving them- 
selves over to fornication, and going after strange 
flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the 
vengeance of eternal fire. 

8 ^ Likewise also these filthy dreamers de- 
file the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil 
of dignities. 

9 '' Yet ]\Iichael the archangel, when contend- 
ing with the devil, (he disputed about the body of 
Moses.) durst not bring against him a railing ac- 
cusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

THE REVELATION OF St. JOHN THE DIVINE. 



CHAPTER L 

4 John writeth his revelation to the seven churches of 
Asia, signified by the seven golden candlesticks. 7 The 
coming of Christ. 14 His glorious power and majesty. 

=>r|"lHE Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God 
-^ gave unto him, to shew unto his servants 
things which must shortly come to pass; and he 
sent and signified it by his angel unto his ser- 
vant John : 

2 '' Who bare record of the word of God, and 
of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all 
things that he saw. 

3 = Blessed is he that readeth, and they that 
hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those 
things which are written therein : for the time 's 
at hand. 

4 '' TOHN to the seven churches which are in 
^ Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from 
him which is, and which was, and which is to 
come ; and from the seven Spirits which are be- 
fore his throne. 

5 * And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful 
witness, and the first-begotten of the dead, and 
the Prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him 
that loved us, and washed us from our sins in 
his own blood, 

6 f And hath made us kings and priests unto 
God and his Father ; to him be glory and domi- 
nion for ever and ever. Amen. 



7 s Behold, he cometh with clouds ; and 
every eye shall see him, and they also which 
pierced him : and all kindreds of the earth shall 
wail because of him. Even so. Amen. 

8 *" I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning 
and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and 
which was, and which is to come, the x\lmighty. 

9 ' I John, who also am your brother, and 
companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom 
and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that 
is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for 
the testimony of Jesus Christ. 

10 ""I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and 
heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, 

11' Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first 
and the last : and, What thou seest, write in a 
book, and send it unto the seven churches which 
are in Asia ; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, 
and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and 
unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto 
Laodicea. 

12 ■" And I turned to see the voice that spake 
with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden 
candlesticks ; 

13 " And in the midst of the seven candle- 
sticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed 
with a garment down to the foot, and girt about 
the paps with a golden girdle.

jasper and a sardine-stone : and there was a rain- 
bow round about the throne, in sight like unto 
an emerald. 

4 And round about the throne ivere four and 
twenty seats : and upon the seats I saw four and 
twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment ; 
and they had on their heads crowns of gold. 

5 " And out of the throne proceeded light- 
nings and thunderings and voices : and there 
luere seven lamps of lire burning before the 
throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. 

6 ® And before the throne there wan a sea of 
glass, like unto crystal : and in the midst of the 
throne, and round about the throne, were four 
beasts, full of eyes before and behind. 

7 ^ And the first beast was like a lion, and the 
second beast like a calf, and the third beast had 
a face as a man, and the fourth beast ivas like a 
flying eagle. 

8 « And the four beasts had each of them six 
wings about him ; and they ivere full of eyes 
within : and they rest not day and night, saying. 
Holy, holy, iioly, Lord God Almighty, which 
was, and is, and is to come. 

9 And when those beasts give glory and ho- 
nour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, 
who liveth for ever and ever, 

10 '' The four and twenty elders fall down be- 
fore him that sat on the throne, and worship him 
that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns 
l)efore the throne, saying, 

1 1 * Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive 
glory and honour and power ; for thou hast 
created all things, and for thy pleasure they are 
and were created. 

CHAPTER V. 

1 The book sealed with seven seals : 9 which only the 
Lamb that was slain is worthy to open : 12 Therefore 
the elders praise him, 9 and confess that he redeemed 
them with his blood. 

' \ ND I saw in the right hand of him that 
-^^ sat on the throne a book written within 
and on the back side, sealed with seven seals. 

2 "^ And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with 
a loud voice. Who is worthy to open the book, 
and to loose the seals thereof ? 

3 " And no man in heaven, nor in earth, 
neither under the earth, was able to open the 
book, neither to look thereon. 

4 '' And I wept much, because no man was 
found worthy to open and to read the book, 
neither to look thereon. 

5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep 
not : behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the 
Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, 
and to loose the seals thereof.'' 

6 ^ And I l)eheld, and lo, in the midst of the 
throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of 




the elders, stood a Lamb, as it had been slain, hav- 
ing seven horns and seven eves, which are the 
seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. 

7 And he came and took the book out of the 
right hand of him that sat upon the throne. 

8 ^ And when he had taken the book, the four 
beasts and four and twenty elders fell down 
before the Lamb, having; everv one of them 
harps, and golden vials full of odours, whicn hh. 
the prayers of saints. 

9 s And they sung a new song, saying. Thou 
art worthy to take the book, and to open the 
seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and liast re- 
deemed us to God by thy blood, out of every 
kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation ; 

10 '' And hast made us unto our God kings 
and priests : and we shall reign on the earth. 

1 1 ' And I beheld, and I heard the voice of 
many angels round about the throne and the 
beasts and the elders : and the number of them 
was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thou- 
sands of thousands ; 

12 "^ Saying with h loud voice. Worthy is the 
Lamb that was slain to receive power, and 
riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, 
and glory, and blessing. 

13 ' And every creature which is in heaven, 
and on the earth, and under the earth, and such 
as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard 
I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and 
power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, 
and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. 

14 "^ And the four beasts said. Amen. And the 
four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped 
him that liveth for ever and ever.

3 And when he had opened the second seal, I 
heard the second beast say. Come and see. 

4 And there went out another horse that was 
red : and power was given to him that sat there- 
on to take peace from the earth, and that they 
should kill one another : and there was given 
unto him a great sword. 

5 And when he had opened the third seal, I 
heard the third beast say, Come and see. And 
I beheld, and lo, a black horse ; and he that sat 
on him had a pair cf balances in his hand.

5 '^ And the angel took the censer, and filled it 
with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth : 
and there were voices, and thunderings, and 
lightnings, and an earthquake. 

6 And the seven angels which had the seven 
trumpets prepared themselves to sound. 

7 The first angel sounded, and there followed 
hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were 
cast upon the earth : and the third part of trees 
was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up. 

8 And the second angel sounded, and as it 
were a great mountain burning with fire was cast 
into the sea : and the third part of the sea be- 
came blood ; 

9 And the third part of the creatures which 
were in the sea, and had life, died ; and the 
third part of the ships were destroyed. 

10 And the third angel sounded, and there 
fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were 



c Job 3,21. 
Isa. 2, 19. 



a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the 



i 



rivers, and upon the fountains of waters ; 

1 1 And the name of the star is called Worm- 
wood : and the third part of the waters became J 
wormwood ; and many men died of the waters, } 
because they were made bitter. ( 

12 And the fourth angel sounded, and the ^ 
third part of the sun was smitten, and the third ^ 
part of the moon, and the third part of the stars ; J 
so as the third part of them was darkened, and i which is before God, 
the day shone not for a third part of it, and the * 
night likewise. ^ 

13 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying f 
through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud ,» 
voice. Wo, wo, wo to the inhabiters of the ^ 
earth by reason of the other voices of the trum- ' 
pet of the three angels, which are yet to sound, ' 



ND the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a 

star fall from heaven unto the earth : and 

to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. 

2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there 
arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a 
great furnace ; and the sun and the air were 
darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. 

3 And there came out of the smoke locusts 
upon the earth : and unto them was given power, 
as the scorpions of the earth have power. 

4 '' And it was commanded them that they 
should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither 
any green thing, neither any tree ; but only 
those men which have not the seal of God in 
their foreheads. 

5 And to them it was given that they should 
not kill them, but that they should be tormented 
five months : and their torment was as the tor- 
ment of a scorpion when he striketh a man. 

6 "^ And in those days shall men seek death, 
and shall not find it ; and shall desire to die, and Jer.s'a 
death shall flee from them. 8.°*^^ ' 

7 '^ And the shapes of the locusts ivere like ^o"''^ ~^' 
unto horses prepared unto battle ; and on their chape. i6 
heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their Joer2, 4'. 
faces were as the faces of men. 

8 ^ And they had hair as the hair of women, ® ■^°^^- '' ® 
and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. 

9 f And they had breast-plates, as it were 
breast-plates of iron ; and the sound of their 
wings luas as the sound of chariots of many hor- 
ses running to battle. 

10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and 
there were stings in their tails : and their power 
ivas to hurt men five months. 

11 2 And they had a king over them, which is 
the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in 
the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek 
tongue hath his name Apollyon. 

12 '' One wo is ||past: and, behold, there 
come two woes more hereafter. 

13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard I'jhes^^ls.

of jfire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the 
heads of the horses ivere as the heads of lions : 
and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke 
and brimstone. 

18 By these three was the third part of men 
killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the 
brimstone, which issued out of their mouths. 

19 ' For their power is in their mouth, and in 
their tails : for their tails were like unto serpents, 
and had heads, and with them they do hurt. 

20 " And the rest of the men which were not 
killed by these plagues, yet repented not of the 
works of their hands, that they should not wor- 
ship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and 
brass, and stone, and of wood : which neither 
can see, nor hear, nor walk : 

21 Neither repented they of their murders, 
nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, 
nor of their thefts.

uttered their voices.

a voice from heaven saying unto me. Seal up

him, Give me the little book. And he said unto 
me, Take it, and eat it up ; and it shall make 
thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth 
sweet as honey. 

1 And I took the little book out of the angel's 
hand, and ate it up ; and it was in my mouth 
sweet as honey : and as soon as I had eaten it, 
my belly was bitter. 

1 1 And he said unto nie. Thou must prophe- 
sy again before many peoples, and nations, and 
tongues, and kings. 

CHAPTER XI. 

3 The two witnesses prophesy. 6 They have power to 
shut heaven, that it rain not. 7 The beast shall fight 
against them, and kill them. 8 They lie unburied : 11 
and after three days and an half rise again. 14 The se- 
cond wo is past. 15 The seventh trumpet soundeth. 

ND there was given me a reed like unto a aEzek.4e 
rod : and the angel stood, saying. Rise, ch.?i',^i5. 
and measure the temple of God, and the altar, 
and them that worship therein. 

2 '' But the court which is without the temple 
leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto 
the Gentiles : and the holy city shall they tread 
under foot forty and two months. 

3 " And I will give power unto my two wit- 
nesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two 
hundred am/ threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. 

4 '' These are the two olive-trees, and the two 
candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. 

5 ® And if any man will hurt them, fire pro- 
ceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their 
enemies ; and if any man will hurt them, he 
must in this manner be killed. 

6 f These have power to shut heaven, that it 
rain not in the days of their prophecy : and 
have power over waters to turn them to blood, 
and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often 
as they will, 

7 s And when they shall have finished their fj^^"- ''' 
testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the Zech. 14,2.

shall overcome them, and kill them. ^''' ^■

CHAPTER XII. \ 

1 A woman clothed with the sun travaileth. 4 The great ^ 
red dragon standeth before her, ready to devour her ' 
child. 6 When she was delivered she fleeth into the / 



wilderness. 7 Michael and his angels fight with the 
dragon, and prevail. 13 The dragon being cast down 
unto the earth, persecuteth the woman. 

AND there appeared a great wonder in hea- 
ven ; a woman clothed with the sun, and 
the moon under her feet, and upon her head a 
crown of twelve stars : 

2 And she being with child, cried, travailing 
in birth, and pained to be delivered. 

3 * And there appeared another wonder in \ 
heaven ; and behold, a great red dragon, having 
seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns 
upon his heads. 

4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars 
of heaven, and did cast them to the earth : and 
the dragon stood before the woman which was 
ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as 
soon as it was born. 



5 ^ And she brought forth a man-child, who 
was to ruls all nations with a rod of iron : and her 
child was caught up unto God, and to his throne. 

6 " And the woman lied into the wilderness, 
where she hath a place prepared of God, that 
they should feed her there a thousand two hun- 
dred and threescore days. 

7 '' And there was war in heaven : Michael 
and his angels fought against the dragon ; and 
the dragon fought and his angels, 

8 * And prevailed not ; neither was their place 
found any more in heaven. 

9 ^And the great dragon was cast out, that 
old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which 
deceiveth the whole world : he was cast out into 
the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. 

10 ^ And I heard a loud voice saying in hea- 
ven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and 
the kingdom of our God, and the power of his 
Christ : for the accuser of our brethren is cast 
down, which accused them before our God day 
and night. 

11 '' And they overcame him by the blood of 
the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony : 
and they loved not their lives unto the death. 

12 ' Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye 
that dwell in them. Wo to the inhabiters of 
the earth, and of the sea ! for the devil is come 
down unto you, having great wrath, because he 
knoweth that he hath but a short time. 

13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast 
unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which 
brought forth the man-ddld. 

14 "^ And to the woman were given two wings 
of a great eagle, that she might fly into the 
wilderness, into her place, where she is nou- 
rished for a time, and times, and half a time, 
from the face of the serpent. 

15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth wa- 
ter as a flood after the woman, that he might 
cause her to be carried away of the flood. 

16 And the earth helped the woman, and the 
earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the 
flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth. 

17 ' And the dragon was wroth with the wo- 
man, and went to make war with the remnant of 
her seed, which keep the commandments of 
God, "and have the testimony of Jesus Christ, iian. 10,4

men should worship it, 16 and receive his mark.

The third Age of the World. 

ABRAM, after his father's decease, in the 7oth 
year of his age, is commanded by God to enter 
upon the land of Canaan, which God promiseth to 
give unto his seed, and that in his seed (viz. Christ 
.Jesus our Lord) all the families of the earth should 
be blessed. 

In the year following, a famine in the land of 
Canaan forceth Abram with his funily to go into 
Egv'pt. From this first coming into Egypt to the 
departure of the children of Israel out of it, are 
reckoned 430 years. 

Abram and Lot in this same year return into Ca- 
naan ; but the land not being sufficient for both 
their flocks, they part asunder. Lotgoethto Sodom. 
God reneweth his promise to Abram ; he removeth 
to Hebron, and there buitdeth an altar. 

Bera the king of Sodom, with four other kings, 
rebel against Chedorlaomer, but are overcome by 
him in the valley of Siddim. Lot being taken priso- 
ner, Abram rescueth him, slayeth Chedorlaomer

and his confederates, and in his return is blessed by 
Melchisedec king of Salem, and priest of God, to 
whom Abram gives tithe. The rest of the spoils, 
his partners having had their portions, he restoreth 
to the king of Sodom. 

Abram complaineth for want of an heir : God pro- 
miseth him a son, and a multiplying of his seed. Ca- 
naan is promised again, and confirmed by a sign. 

Sarai, being barren, giveth Hagar her handmaid 
to Abram. 

Ishmael, Hagar's son, born. 

Arphaxad, the third from Noah, dieth. 

God maketh a covenant with Abram, and in token 
of a greater blessing changeth his name into Abra- 
ham. As a seal of this covenant, circumcision is 
ordained. Sarai, her name also is changed into Sa- 
rah, and she is blessed. God promiseth them a son, 
and commandeth that his name be called Isaac ; in 
him God promiseth to establish his covenant. 

Abraham entertaineth three angels, who renew 
the promise to him of having a son. God revealeth 
to Abraham the destruction of Sodom, with whom 
Abraham intercedes for Lot and his family. See 
Gen. xix. 29. 

Lot is commanded, for the preservation of himself 
and his family, to get out of Sodom, and to flee to 
the mountain ; but by much entreaty he obtaineth 
leave to go into Zoar. Sodom, Gomorrah, and all 
the cities in the vale of Siddim, with all the inhabi- 
tants of them, are for the most horrible sins destroy- 
ed by lire and brimstone from heaven. The Dead 
Sea remains a monument thereof unto this day. 
Lot's wife, for looking back upon Sodom, con- 
trary to God's command, is turned into a pillar 
of salt ; and Lot himself, fearing to continue at 
Zoar, leaves the plain country, and betakes him- 
self to the mountain, carrying his two daughters 
with him. 

Isaac born in the 100th year of Abraham's age. 
Not long after, to Lot are born Moab and Ammon, 
his sons at the same time, and his grandsons. 

Hagar and Ishmael, at Sarah's request, are cast 
forth. 

Salah, the fourth from Noah, dieth. 

God tempteth Abranam to offer Isaac. Abraham 
giveth proof of his faith and obedience. 

Sarah dieth at Hebron in Canaan, in the 127th 
year of her age. 

Isaac marrieth Rebekah the daughter of Bethuel, 
the son of Nahor, in the 40th year of his age. 

Shem. the son of Noah, dieth. 

Jacob and Esau born in the 60th year of their 
father Isaac's age. 

Abraham dieth, aged 175 years. 

Heber, the fifth from Noah, dieth : from him 
Abraham and his posterity were called Hebrews. 
Gen. xiv. 13. 

Esau, aged forty years, marrieth Judith the 
daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath the 
daughter of Elon the Hittite. 

Ishmael dieth, aged 137 3'ears. 

Jacob by his mother's instruction obtaineth the 
blessing from Isaac his father, which was designed 
for Esau. Upon which he is forced to flee into 
Mesopotamia, to shun his brother's rage. Upcfn 
the way are foretold unto him in a vision the bless- 
ings of his posterity. At length he cometh to his 
uncle Laban's house, and covenantcth to serve him 
seven j'ears for his daughter Rachel, but Laban 
daceiveth him with Leah ; the marriage week being

completed, Rachel also is given him to wife, upon 
condition of serving seven years more. 

Of Leah are born, 

Reuben, 

Simeon, 

Levi, 

Jddah, from whom the Jews receive their deno- 
mination. 

Rachel, having been long barren, at length bear- 
eth Joseph : Jacob, desiring to depart, is persuad- 
ed by Laban to serve six years more for some part 
of his flock. 

Jacob, after he had been twenty years in M«."SO- 
potamia, sets forward on his journey homewards, 
without acquainting his father or his brothers-in- 
law. Rachel stealeth her father's gods, and is 
pursued by Laban. Jacob by his prudence is re- 
conciled to his brother Esau. He wrestleth with 
an angel at Peniel, and is called Israel. 

About this time Dinah, Jacob's daughter, is de- 
floured by Sichem the son of Hamor. Simeon and 
Levi, Dinah's brethren, revenge their sister's quar- 
rel, by putting all the males of Sichem to the 
sword ; for which thing Jacob reproveth them. 

Rachel is delivered of Benjamin on the way be- 
twixt Beth-el, or Beth-lehem, and Ephrath, and 
dies in childbed. Some think that Job lived about 
this time. 

Judah lieth with Tamar his daughter-in-law in 
disguise. 

Joseph is hated by his brethren, and is sold to 
merchantmen, Ishmaelites and Midianites, who 
carry him into Egypt, where he is sold to Potiphar 
an officer of Pharaoh, and by him made overseer 
of his house. 

Joseph resisteth the temptations of his master's 
wife ; he is falsely accused by her, and cast into 
prison. He interpreteth the dreams of Pharaoh's 
butler and baker, which come to pass according to 
his interpretation. 

Isaac dieth, aged 180 years, and is buried by his 
sons, Jacol) and Esau. 

Joseph interpreteth Pharaoh's two dreams ; he 
giveth Pharaoh counsel, and is made governor 01 
the whole land of Egypt. 

Here begin the seven years of plenty in the land 
of Egypt. About this time Manasseh and Ephraim 
Joseph's two sons, are born of Asenath, the daugh- 
ter of Potipherah, priest of On. 

Here begin the seven years of famine. 

Jacob sendeth his ten sons to buy corn in Egypt ; 
they are imprisoned by Joseph for spies ; but are 
set at liberty on condition of bringing Benjamin ; 
and Simeon is kept as a pledge. 

Jacob is with much difficulty persuaded to send 
Benjamin. Joseph maketh himself known to his 
brethren, 'and sendeth for his father by command . 
from Pharaoh. 

Jacob, having offered sacrifice to God for that his 
son Joseph is yet alive, goes with all his Atmily into 
Egypt in the third year of the famine, and 130th 
year of his age. He is seated in the land of 
Goshen. 

Joseph getteth all the money, lands, and cattle, 
of the Egyptians for bread ; only the lands belong- 
ing to the priests he buyeth not. 

Jacob adopteth Ephraim and Manasseh, and 
blesseth them, and all his sons : prophesieth the 
descent of the Messiah from Judah, and dieth, aged 
147 years ; seventeen whereof he lived in Egypi

He is with great pomp carried into Canaan, and 
buried in the sepulchre of his father. 

Joseph on his death-bed prophesieth unto his 
brethren their return to Canaan ; takes an oath of 
them to carry his bones out of Egypt, and dieth, 
aged 110 years. 

The book of Genesis endeth in the death of Jo- 
seph, containing the history of 2369 years : next 
to which in order of time the book of Job follows, 
written (as it is generally believed) by Moses. 

Levi dieth in Egypt, aged 137 years ; he was 
grandfather to Moses and Aaron. 

Here begins the bondage of the children of Is- 
rael, when a king rose up in Egypt, who knew not 
Joseph. 

Aaron born three years before his brother Mo- 
ses, 83 years before the departure of the children 
of Israel out of Egypt. 

Pharaoh having in vain commanded the Hebrew 
midwives to destroy all the males of the Israelites, 
sets forth an edict, charging that they be all cast 
into the river. 

Moses is born, who, being hid in the flags by the 
river's side, is found by Pharaoh's daughter ; and 
becomes her adopted son. 

Moses, in the 40th year of his age, having slain 
an Egyptian, whom he saw contending with an He- 
brew, fleeth into Midian, where he marrieth Zippo- 
rah the daughter of Reuel, or Jethro, a priest, and 
liveth with him forty years. 

Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, born. 

Whilst Moses keeps his father-in-law's sheep at 
mount Horeb, God appeareth to him in a burning 
bush, and sendeth him to deliver Israel. 

Moses and Aaron having declared to Pharaoh the 
message on which they are sent unto him from God, 
are charged by him as heads of a mutiny, and sent 
away with many bad words ; and more grievous la- 
bours are forthwith laid upon the Israelites. 

Moses being now 80, and Aaron 83 years of age, 
urged thereunto by God, return again unto Pha- 
raoh, where the magicians by their sorcery, imi- 
tating the miracles of Aaron's rod turned into a 
serpent, make Pharaoh more obstinate than he was 
before. Wherefore God by the hand of Moses lays 
ten plagues upon the Egyptians. 

The fourth Aqe of the World. 
TTPON the fourteenth day of the first month, 
^ (which was May the fourth, upon Monday 
with us) in the evening, the passover is instituted. 

Upon the fifteenth of the same month, at mid- 
night, the first-born of Egypt being all slain, Pha- 
raoh and his servants make haste to send away the 
Israelites ; and they, the self-same day wherein 
they were let go out of bondage, being the com- 
plete term of 430 years from tke first pilgrimage of 
their ancestors, reckoning from Abraham's depar- 
ture out of Charran, take their journey, and march 
away, being 600,000 men, besides children, and 
come to Rameses, from whence by several encamp- 
ings they come to the Red Sea, the Lord conducting 
them in a pillar of a cloud by day, and in a pillar of 
fire b}' night. They carry Joseph's bones with them. 

At the Red Sea Pharaoh with his host overtakes 
them ; Moses divides the waters with his rod, and 
the children of Israel pass through on dry ground 
unto the desert of Etham ; whom, when Pharaoh 
and his army would needs follow, they are all 
overwhelmed by the waters coming together at the 
dawning of the day, whereby the Israelites are

wholly freed from the bondage of the Egyptians , 
whose carcases when they see floating all the sea 
over, and cast upon the shore, they sing a song of 
praise and thanksgiving unto God. 

Upon the fifteenth cf the second month, [out June 
the 4th, being Thursday) the Israelites come to the 
wilderness of Zin, which lieth between El) ma and 
Sinai, where, for want of food, they murmur against 
God and their leaders : about the even-tide God 
sends them quails, and the nest morning rains upon 
them manna from heaven ; and upon that kind of 
bread they lived afterward by the space cf forty 
years, even till they came to the borders of the 
land of promise. An omer of it is preserved for a 
memorial. 

At Rephidim, which was the eleventh place of 
their encamping, the people murmur for want of 
water : Moses gives them water by striking the 
hard rock in Horeb with his rod. 

The Amalekites falling upon the rear of the Is- 
raelites are discomfited by Joshua, whilst Moses 
holds up his hands to God in prayer. 

God publisheth his Law contained in the Ten 
Commandments with a terrible voice from mount 
Sinai. 

The people being in great fear, God gives them 
sundry other laws, all which being written in the 
book of the Covenant, Moses proposeth them to 
the people : which done, rising early in the morn- 
ing, he builds an altar at the foot of the mountain, 
and sets up 12 statues, according to the 12 tribes 
of Israel, and sends 12 young men of the first-born, 
(whom the Lord hath consecrated to himself as 
ministers of those holy things, before the Levitical 
Priesthood was ordained) which ofl"er sacrifice, first 
for sin, and then for thanksgiving, to the Lord 
and when Moses had read the Book of the Cove- 
nant, he takes the blood of the calves and goats so 
offered, and with water, scarlet wool, and hyssop, 
sprinkles the book therewith, and all the people, 
or those 12 statues representing them ; and so per- 
forms a solemn Covenant between God and his 
people. 

Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and 70 
Men of the elders of Israel, go up into the mount, 
and there behold the glory of God : the rest return- 
ing, Moses with his servant Joshua abides there 
still, and waits six days, and upon the seventh day 
God speaks unto him, and there he continues 40 
days and 40 nights (reckoning those six days which 
he waited for tne appearance of the Lord) eating 
no meat all that while, nor drinking water ; (Dent 
ix. 9.) where he receives God's command touching 
the frame of the tabernacle, the Priests' garments, 
their consecration, sacrifices, and other things com- 
prised in this and the six following Chapters. 

At the end of 40 days God gives Moses the two 
tables of the Law in stone, made by God's own 
hand, and written with his own finger ; bidding 
him withal quickly to get him down, for that the 
people had already made to themselves a molten 
calf to worship. Moses by prayer pacifieth God 
and goes down from the mount, and seeing the pen- 
pie keeping a festival in honour of their idol in the 
camp, he breaks the tables of the law at the foot 
of the mount : for which the Jews keep a solemn 
fast unto this day. 

Moses, having burnt and defaced the idol, puts 
3000 of the idolaters to death by the hands of the 
Levites.

God commands Moses to frame new Tables of 
stone, and to bring them with him into the mount : 
Moses brings them the next morning, amd while he 
stands in the cleft of a rock, God passeth by, and 
sheweth him a glimpse of his glory. 

God renews his Covenant with his people, and 
upon certain conditions gives them his laws again. 
In the first six months of this year, the taberna- 
cle, the ark of the covenant, the altar, the table of 
shew-bread, the priests' garments, the holy oint- 
ments, the candlestick, and other utensils and ves- 
sels belonging to the sacrifices, are finished in the 
desert at mount Sinai, and are brought unto Moses. 
The tabernacle is set up and anointed with holj 
oil. Aaron and his sons are consecrated for the 
priesthood. 

Nadab and Abihu, for offering strange fire, are 
struck dead in the place by fire from heaven. 

The princes of the tribes present their ofierings 
towards the dedication of the tabernacle. God 
speaketh to Moses from the mercy-seat. 
The second passover is instituted. 
Jethro, who is also called Hobab, brings his 
daughter Zipporah, with her two sons, Gershom 
and Eliezer, which were left with him, to his son- 
in-law Moses : and having congratuhited his and the 
whole people of Israel's deliverance out of bontiage, 
he openly declares his faith and devotion towards 
the true God. By his advice Moses imparts the 
government of the people to some others, and or- 
dains magistrates for the deciding of lesser causes. 
Moses complains to God of the over great burden 
of his government ; God, to ease him of his charge, 
gives him for assistance the court of 70 Elders. 

The people lust for flesh. God gives them quails 
in wrath ; and sends withal a most grievous plague 
among them. 

God rebukes the sedition of Miriam and Aaron, 
and maintaineth Moses his right. 

From the wilderness of Paran, near Kadesh-bar- 
nea, 12 men are sent (among whom are Caleb and 
Joshua) to discover the land of Canaan. Returnmg, 
they bring with them a branch of a vine, with a 
cluster of grapes upon it ; ten of the twelve so sent 
speak ill of the country, declare it barren, and mag- 
nify the cities for their strength, and the giantly 
stature of the inhabitants. 

The people, terrified with this relation, are about 
to return into Egypt, from which Caleb and Joshua 
endeavouring to dissuade them are like to be stoned. 
At this God is so provoked, that he threatens to 
destroy them ; but is prevailed upon by Moses his 
prayers to spare them. Nevertheless he denoun- 
ceth that all who are now 20 years old and upward 
(except Caleb and Joshua) shall die in the wilder- 
ness. The men who raised the evil report are 
all destroyed by sudden death. Some endeavouring 
to enter upon the promised land, contrary to the 
command of God, are smitten by the Amalekites 
and Canaanites. 

In this place, viz. Kadesh-barnea, the Israelites 
continue many days ; but that in some places they 
continued many years, appeareth, for that in the 
space of 37 years there are but 17 encampings 
mentioned. 

To their long continuance in Kadesh,. and the 
encampings from thence, all that we find delivered 
in the xvth and four next ensuing chapters o{ Num- 
bers, seems to refer ; as how Korah, Dathan, and 
Abiram, for raising a mutiny against Moses and 
Aaron, were swallowed alive into the earth, and

250 of their associates ; and how the people, mur 
muring against Moses and Aaron for the calamity 
which had befallen their brethren, were destroyed 
by God to the number of 14,700 men ; and how 
twelve rods being brought by 12 princes, and laid 
in the sanctuary, Aaron's rod only budded, and 
brought forth almonds, and was laid up before the 
ark, for a memoriiil to those who should afterward 
be given to rebellion. 

In these 37 years the Israelites by 17 encamp- 
ings, having compassed the hill country of Seir and 
Edom, they come to the wilderness of Zin in the 
first month of the 40th year after their departure 
out of Egypt. 

Here Miriam, the sister of Moses and Aaron, 
dieth. 

The people again for want of water murmur 
against Moses and Aaron, whom when God had com- 
manded to call water out of the rock only by speak- 
ing to it, Moses, being moved in his mind through 
impatience and diffidence of the thing, speaks some- 
thing, whatever it was, unadvisedly with his lips, 
and strikes the rock thrice with Aaron's rod, and 
thereby draws water from it ; but for transgressing 
God's command, they are both debarred from en- 
tering into the land of Canaan. 

In the fifth month of this year Aaron dieth at Mo- 
sera, on the top of Mo int Hor, at the age of 123 
years, leaving his son Eleazar his successor in the 
high priesthood. 

The people murmuring are plagued with fiery 
serpents, whereof many die ; upon their renentance 
God commands that a brazen serpent be made and 
lifted up upon a pole, that as many as look on it 
may live. 

About the latter end of this year, all (hose who at 
Kadesh-barnea mutinied against God, being wholly 
extinct and dead, the Israelites pass ^over Zared, 
and come to the borders of Moab at Ar, and at 
length they arrive at Bamoth, a valley in the coun- 
try of the Moabites, and pitch at mount Pisgah. 

Sihon king of the Amorites, refusing them passage 
through his country, is slain, and the Israelites pos- 
sess his land. 

Og the king of Bashan, coming out against Israel, 
is destroyed with all his people, not one left alive, 
and his country possessed by the Israelites. 

After these victories the Israelites set forward, 
and encamp in the plains of Moab. 

Balak king of Moab, considering what the Israel- 
ites had done to the Amorites, fears, lest, under 
pretence of passing through his country, they should 
possess themselves of his whole kingdom ; takes 
counsel with the princes of the Midianites his neigh- 
bours, and sends for Balaam a soothsayer out of Me- 
sopotamia to come and curse the Israelites, promis- 
ing him great rewards for his labour ; purposing 
afterward to make war upon them. 

Balaam, forewarned of God, refuseth at first to 
come ; but being sent for a second time, he impor- 
tuneth God to let him go, and goes with a purpose 
indeed to curse Israel ; but God, offended thereat, 
makes the dumb ass of this wizard, on which he 
rode, speaking in a man's voice, to reprove his folly. 
Balaam twice offers sacrifice, and would fain have 
cursed Israel, to gratify Balak therein ; but being 
forced thereto by the Spirit of God, instead of curs- 
ing, he blesseth them altogether ; foretelling what 
fefi'city attended them, and what calamities should 
befall their enemies. • 

By his advice the women of Moab and Midian art

set on work to turn the Israelites away t=o idolatry. 
Wherefore God commands Moses first to take all 
the ringleaders of this disorder, and to hang them 
up before the sun, and then gives order to the judges 
to put to death all such as had joined themselves to 
Baal-peor. Last of all, God sends a plague upon 
the people, whereof die 23,000 men in one day : 
which added to them which were hanged and killed 
with the sword, amount in all to 24,000. 

Phinehas the son of Eleazar, by killing Zimri, the 
chief of his father's family, and Cozbi the daughter 
of Zur, a prince of the Midianites, appeaseth the 
wrath of God, and the plague ceaseth. God there- 
fore settleth the high priesthood for ever upon the 
house of Phinehas, and commands that war be made 
upon the Midianites. 

Moses and Eleazar, by God's command, in the 
plain of Moab, near unto Jordan, over against Jeri- 
cho, number the people fi'om twenty years old and 
upwards, and find them to be 601,730 men, besides 
the Levites, whose number, reckoning them from 
one month old and upwards, comes to 23,000 ; and 
then Moses receives command for the parting the 
land of promise among the Israelites. 

The daughters of Zelophehad have their father's 
land parted among them, for want of issue male ; 
this occasions the law for succession in heritages to 
be made. 

God signifies to Moses that he shall die, and 
Joshua is thereupon declared to be his successor ; 
upon whom Moses lays his hands, and gives him in- 
structions. Several laws are made. 

Twelve thousand of the Israelites under the com- 
mand of Phinehas vanquish the Midianites, and put 
to the sword all the males among them, with their 
five princes, and among them Zur, the father of 
Cozbi, and Balaam the wizard ; but they save the 
women alive ; at which Moses is wroth, and com- 
mands tliat every male child, and all the women, 
except such as be virgins, be killed. 

The lands which belonged to SihonandOg, name- 
ly, all from the river Arnon to mount Hermon, 
Moses divides and gives to the tribes of Reuben 
and Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh ; so that 
their possessions lay on tiiis side Jordan ; never- 
theless, they assist the rest of the tribes in all their 
wars, till they have subdued the Canaanites, and 
possessed the promised land. 

Moses commands the peoj le, that in their pas- 
sage over Jordan they shall set up great stones, and 
engrave the Ten Commandments on them, with the 
form of blessing upon mount Gerizim, and of curs- 
ing on mount Ebal ; exhorting them to observe the 
law of God, by setting before their eyes the bene- 
fits that would ensue thereon. 

He also renews the covenant made by God with 
them and their children on mount Horeb, and again 
persuades them to keep that covenant by all the 
blessings and curses which would undoubtedly fol- 
low the keepers or breakers of it ; yet with a pro- 
mise of pardon and deliverance, if at any time, 
having broken it, they shall repent them of their 
sin ; and tells them further, that God hath there- 
fore thus declared his will unto them, to the 
end that none hereafter offending shall pretend ig- 
norance, 

Moses, havmg written this law, delivers it to 
the priests the sons of Levi, and the elders of the 
people, to be kept ; the same day also he writes his 
most excellent song, and teaches the same to the|i 
children of Israel to be sung ; and having finished ||

The Jourlh J'lge, 

[the book of tlie law, he takes order to have it Ldd 
up in the side of the ark. 

Moses now drav.ing near to his end, blesseth 
every tribe in particular by way of prophecy, save 
only the tribe of Simeon. 

In the 12th month of this year he goes up to 
mount Nebo, and from thence beholds the land of 
promise, and there dieth, aged 120 years ; the body 
of Moses God translates out of the place where he 
died into a valley of the land of Moab, over against 
Beth-peor, and there burieth it ; nor doth any man 
know the place where he laid it unto this day. The 
Israelites mourn for him 30 days. 

Here ends the Pentateuch, or five books of Mo- 
ses, containing the history of 2552 years and an 
half, from the beginning of the world ; and the 
book of Joshua begins with the forty-first yea 
after the departure of the children of Israel out of 
Egypt. 

Joshua, being confirmed in his government by 
God, sends forth spies from Shittim to the city of 
Jericho, who, beingharbouredby Rahab, are pri- 
vily sent away, when search is made for them. 

Upon the tenth day of the first month, [April 30) 
to wit, the same day that the Paschal Lamb was to 
be chosen out of the flock, the Israelites under the 
conduct of Joshua, a type of Jesus Christ, go up out 
of the river Jordan into the promised land of Ca- 
naan, a type of a more heavenly country. They 
pass through the river on dry ground, the waters 
being for the present divided ; for a memorial ot 
Avhich miraculous passage, Joshua sets up 12 stones 
in the very channel of Jordan, and taking 12 other 
stones out of the midst thereof sets them up at Gil 
gal, the place where they next encamp. 

The day following Joshua renews the use of cir 
cumcision, which had been omitted 40 years. 

Upon the 14th day of the same month, in the 
evening, the Israelites celebrate their first pass- 
over in the land of Canaan. 

Next day after the passover manna ceaseth. 
Our Lord Jesus, Captain of his Fathe'r's host, 
appears to Joshua, the typical Jesus, before Jeri- 
cho, with a drawn sword in his hand, andpromiseth 
there to defend his people. 

Jericho, the ark of the Lord having been carried 
round about it, is taken the seventh day, the walls 
thereof falling down at the sound of the priests' 
trumpets ; all the inhabitants are put to the sword, 
except Rahab and her family. 

The Israelites besiege Ai, and are smitten by 
their enemies, God having abandoned them for sa- 
crilege committed by Achan ; Achan's sin being 
discovered by the casting of lots, and himself found 
guilty, he is stoned to death, and, together with his 
children and cattle, burned with fire. God being 
pacified hereby, Ai is taken by ambushmcnt and 
utterly destroyed. 

On mount Ebal, according to the law made, is 
an altar erected, and the Ten Commandments en- 
graven on it; the blessings and cursings are repeat- 
ed on mount Ebal and mx)unt Gerizim, and the 
book of the law read in the ears of the people. 

The kings of Canaan combine against Israel ; 
only the Gibeonites craftily find a way to save theip 
own lives by making a league with them ; but are 
afterwards deputed to the servile ofiices of the 
house of God. 

Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem, with the kings 
of Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon, hearing 
that Gibeon is fallen ofiTfrom them, join their forces

together and besiege it ; but Joshua raiseth the 
siege, pursueth those five kings, and smiteth them 
as far as Azekah, the Lord in the meanwhile kilUng 
more with hailstones from heaven, than the Israel- 
ites with their swords. Josl.ua commands the sun 
to stand still over Gibeon, and the moon over the 
valley of Aijalon, by the space almost of one whole 
day, until the Israelites are fully avenged of their 
enemies. The five kings hide themselves in a cave 
at Makkedah ; from whence they are brought 
forth, scornfully used, and hanged. 

From the autumn of this year, wherein, after the 
failing of Manna, they began to till t'he ground, the 
rise of the sabbatical years is to be taken. 

Joshua, now grown old, is commanded by God to 
divide all the land on the west of Jordan among the 
nine tribes remaining, and the other half-tribe of 
Manasseh. The Lord and his sacrifices are the 
inheritance of Levi. 

The rest of the kings, with whom Joshua had 
waged war for six years, resolve to set upon him 
with united forces : but Joshua comes upon them 
unawares, slays them, and possesseth their coun- 
tries. 

Joshua now roots out those giants, the Anakims, 
with their cities, out of the hill-countries, ou<t of 
Hebron, Debir, and Anab, and generally out of all 
the mountains of Judah and all Israel. And having 
gotten the whole land into his hands, he divides it 
among the children of Israel according to their 
tribes ; and the land rested from war. 

The first sabbatical year, or year of rest ; from 
hence the 3'ear of Jubilee, or every fifty years' 
space, is to be reckoned. 

The tabernacle is set up at Shiloh, (thought to be 
the same with Salem,) where it continued 328 
years. 

The Reubenites, Gadites, and the half-tribe of 
Manasseh, with a blessing are sent home to their 
possessions on the other side of Jordan. 

Joshua gathers together all Israel, exhorts them 
to obedience, briefly recites God's benefits to them, 
reneweth the covenant between them and God, 
and dieth 110 j'ears old. 

After the decease of Joshua, and the elders who 
outlived him, and who remembered the wonders 
which God had wrought for Israel, there succeeds a 
generation of men which forget God, and mingle 
themselves with the Canaanites by marriage, and 
worship their idols. In this time of anarchy and 
confusion, when every man did that which seemed 
right in his own eyes, all those disorders were com- 
mitted, which are reported in the five last chapters 
of the Book of Judges ; to wit, the idolatry of Mi- 
cah, and the children of Dan ; the war of the Ben- 
jamites, and the cause thereof. God, being highly 
provoked, gives them up into the hands of Cushan 
king of Mesopotamia ; which first calamity of theirs 
holds them but eight years. 

Othniel, the son of Kenaz, and son-in-law to Ca- 
leb, stirred up by God as a judge and avenger of his 
people, defeats Cushan, and delivers the Israelites 
out of bondage ; and the land rested forty years af- 
ter the first rest which Joshua procured for them. 

Othniel dying, the Israelites fell again to sin 
asrainst God, and are given over into the hands 
of Eglon king of Moab, who, joining with the Am- 
monites and the Amalekites, overthrows the Israel- 
ites, and takes Jericho ; and this second oppression 
continueth 18 years. 

Ehud the son of Gera is raised up by God to be

an avenger of his people ; for feignmg a message to 
Eglon, he runs him into the belly with his dagger ; 
then getting away, he gathers all Israel into a body 
on mount Ephraim, and slays 10,000 of the most 
valiant men of Moab : and the land resteth 40 years 
after the former rest obtained by Othniel. 

After hiai, Shamgar, the sor. of Anath, slayeth 
600 Philistines wiUi an ox-goad, and he also aven- 
geth Israel. 

The Israelites, after the death of Ehud, returning 
to their old sin, are given up by God into the hands 
of Jabin king of Canaan ; and this thraldom of theirs 
continuetli twenty years. 

Deborah, the wiieof Lapidoth, a prophetess, who 
at this time judgeth Israel in mount Ephraim, and 
Barak of the tribe of Naphtali, being made captain 
of the host of Israel, in sight of Megiddo, overcome 
Sisera, captain of Jabin's army, whom Jael the wife 
of Heber the Kenite afterward kills in her own 
tent. For a memorial of which victory Deborah 
composeth a song ; and the land resteth 40 years 
after the former rest obtained by Ehud. 

The Israelites sinning again are delivered into 
the hands of the Midianites ; w hich fourth thraldom 
lasteth 7 years. Hereupon they cry unto God for 
help, and are reproved by a prophet. Then Gideon 
the son of Joash, of Manasseh, is by an angel from 
God sent to deliver them. He first overturns the 
altar of Baal and burns his grove, and is called Je- 
rubbaal. He out of 32,000 men, which came unto 
him, chooseth only (God so commanding) 300 ; but 
with them he puts to flight all the host of the Midi- 
anites, whom the Ephraimites afterward pursue, and 
slay their princes Oreb and Zeeb. Gideon having 
pacified the Ephraimites, who complain that they 
were not called to the battle at first, passeth the 
river Jordan, and defeats the remainder of the Mi- 
dianitish army ; he chastiseth also the men of Suc- 
coth and Penuel, who had refused him victuals in 
his journey ; and sla3'S the two kings of the Midian- 
ites, Zebah and Zalmunna. After which great vic- 
tories the Israelites offering to settle the kingdom 
upon him and his posterity, he refuseth it ; but re- 
ceiving their golden ear-rings, he makes thereof an 
ephod, which afterward proves an occasion of idol- 
atry. The Midianites being thus vanquished, the 
land enjoys rest 40 years, after the former rest re- 
stored to them by Deborah and Barak. 

Gideon dieth, and the Israelites, falling back 
again to idolatr}^ worship Baal-berith for their god. 
Abimelech the son of Gideon (begotten upon his 
concubine) purposing to get to himself the kingdom 
which his father had refused, slayeth 70 of his bro- 
thers all upon one stone ; and having by the help of 
the Shechemites got to be made king, Jotham the 
youngest son of Gideon, who only escaped Abime 
lech's fury, from the top of mount Gerizim expos- 
tulates with them the wrong they had done to his 
fiither's house ; and by way of a parable foretells 
their ruin : which done, he flies, and dwells quietly 
in Beer. 

Abimelech having reigned three years over Is- 
rael, Gaal a Shechemite conspires against him ; 
which being discovered to him by Zebul, he utterly 
destroys the city of Shechem, and puts all the inha- 
bitants to the sword, and burns the temple of their 
god Berith with fire ; from thence he goeth and lay- 
eth siege to Thebez, where he is knocked on the 
head with a piece of a millstone, cast upon him by 
a woman from the walls, and then Idlled outright by 
his armour-bearer.

Tola the son of Puah, after Abimelech, judgeth 
Israel 23 jears. 

Jair the Gileadite succeeds Tola, and judgeth 
Israel 22 years. 

The Israelites, forsaking again the true God, fall 
to worship the gods of several nations, and are given 
up into the hands of the Philistines and Ammonites ; 
which tifth thraldom lasteth 18 years. Upon their 
repentance, and abandoning their idols, at length 
they obtain mercy. 

Jephthah the Gileadite, being made captain of 
the host of Israel, subdues the Ammonites ; before 
the battle he vows his daughter unawares to be of- 
fered in sacrifice, and afterward performs it. He 
puts to the sword 42,000 Ephraimites, who had be- 
haved themselves insolently against him, and judg- 
eth Israel 6 years 

fbzan the Bethlemite succeeds Jephthah, and 
judgeth Israel 7 years. 

Elon the Zebulonite succeeds Ibzan, and judgeth 
Israel 10 years. 

Abdon the Ephraimite succeeds Elon, and judg- 
eth Israel 8 years. 

Eli the high priest (in whom the high priesthood 
was translated from the family of Eleazar to Itha- 
mar's) succeeds Abdon, and judgeth Israel 40 years. 
The Israelites again provoke the Lord to anger, 
and he delivers them into the hands of the Phili- 
stines. This sixth thraldom begins seven months 
after Eli's entering upon the government, and 
lasteth 40 years, even till seven months after his 
death, when the ark was brought back again. 

Samson the Nazarite, as an angel had foretold, 
is born at Zora. 

Whilst Eli the high priest executeth the office of 
a judge in civil causes under tlie Philistines, Sam- 
son takes an occasion to quarrel with them, by mar 
rying a woman of Timnath; for having on the day of 
his betrothing propounded a riddle to the Philistines, 
and laid a \vager, his wife tells them the meaning 
of it : enraged hereat, he goes and slays 30 men of 
Askelon, and gives them the suits of raiment which 
he had stri|)ped off their bodies, in performance of 
the wager which he had lost, and returns home to 
his father. 

Samson again in harvest-time goes to present his 
wife with a kid at her father's house, but tinds her 
given away in marriage to another man ; Samson 
resolves to be revenged ; he catches 300 foxes, and 
tying tire-brands tn their tails, turns tliem ail into 
the corn-fields of the Philistines, and into their vine- 
yards, and olive-gardens, and sets them all on fire. 
The Philistines take Samson's wife and fiither-in- 
law, and burn them ; Samson in revenge slays a 
great multitude of them, and sits down upon the 
rock Etam, from whence being taken by 3C00 of the 
Jews, and by them delivered into the hands of the 
Philistines, he slays of them a thousand men with 
the jaw-bone of an ass ; in which place he is mi- 
raculously refreshed, when thirsty and ready to faint. 
Samson is betrayed by Delilah his concubine, be- 
reaved of the hair of his Nazariteship,and delivered 
to the Philistines ; who put out his eyes, and bind 
him with chains of br;iss. The Philistines gather to- 
gether to offer sacrifice to Dngon their god, and Sara- 
son is brought to make them sport; whose hair being 
grown, and his strength in a great measure restored 
he takes hold of th^; two chief pillars whereon the 
house stood (wherein were the princes of the Philis 
tines, and a great multitude of people) and pull 
down the house, killing more men at his death,

than he did in all his life-time. So he died, having 
judged Israel in the days of the Philistines 20 years. 
The Israelites take up arms against the Philis- 
tines, but with very ill success, for they lose 4000 
men in one battle. Then they send for the ark of 
the covenant from Shiloh, and cause it to be brought 
into the camp. The Philistines, seeing now all lie at 
stake, encourage one another to behave themselves 
like men that day ; and so ftlhng on, they slay of 
the Israelites 30,000 men. The ark of God is taken, 
and Hophni and Phinehas, priests, and sons of Eli, 
are slain. Of all which when tidings are brought 
to old Eli, frighted thereat, he falls from his chair 
and breaks his neck, in the 98th year of his age. 

The Philistines, having brought the ark into Ash- 
dod, set it in the house of Dagon their god. But 
when Dagon had been found two several times fallen 
grovelling before it, and broken in pieces, and the 
inhabitants of the place sorely plagued, they remove 
it from thence to Gath, and from thence to Ekron. 
But the same plagues and judgments following 
wherever it went, after 7 months, by the advice of 
their priests, they send home the ark again with 
presents and gifts into the land of the Israelites, and 
it is brought to Beth-shemesh, where 60,070 men 
are smitten for looking into the ark. From hence 
it is carried to the house of Abinadab in Kirjath- 
jearim, who sanctifieth his son Eleazar to keep it 
After 20 j'ears the Israelites, by Samuel's persua 
sion, solemnly repent at Mizpeh, and, upon their 
conversion, God by thunder from heaven delivers 
them from the invasion of the Philistines, who are 
subdued, the hand of the Lord being against them 
all the days of Samuel. 

Samuel, being grown old, takes for his assistanc 
in the government his sons ; by whose ill manage 
ment of affairs, the Israelites require a king to be 
given them : whereupon God gives them a king in 
his wrath, to wit, Saul the son of Kish, after Samuel 
had judged Israel 21 years. Saul is privately anoint- 
ed by Samuel, and afterward publicly proclaimed 
king at Mizpeh. About a month after Jabesh-gilead 
is besieged by Nahash king of the Ammonites, and 
the siege raised by Saul : whereupon the whole con- 
gregation of Israel, coming together at Gilgal, again 
proclaim Saul king. 

David the Son of Jesse the Ephrathite, born at 
Beth-lehem-judah 30 years before he succeeded 
Saul in the kingdom. He was his father's youngest 
son. 

God rejects Saul, and sends Samuel to Beth-le ■ 
hem, there to anoint David king, whom Saul ever 
after extremely persecuteth. 

Yet Jonathan, Saul's son, loveth him, and often- 
times rescueth him from Saul's cruelty. 

David having Saul twice in his power, forbears to 
hurt him. 

David, fearing he may some time or other fall in- 
to the hands of Saul, flies to Gath unto king Achish, 
carrying with him 600 men ; and having obtained 
of him the town of Ziklag to dwell in, he continueth 
one year and four months in the land of the Philis- 
tines : from whence he invadeth the countries of 
the Geshurites, Gezrites, and Amalekites, and puts 
to the sword all, both men and vvomen, not leaving 
one alive to carry the news thereof to king Achish. 
Achish, proposing to make war upon the Israfti 
ites, takes David along with him in that expedition, 
to whom, whilst he is upon his march wi(h his 600 
men, repair a great many others of the tribe of Ma 
nasseh, and join with him.

Saul, seeing the army of the Philistines, is in great 
fear, and (Samuel being now dead) goes to En-dor 
to consult with a witch there ; the woman raiseth an 
apparition of Samuel, and Saul receives from it that 
dreadful doom, The Lord will deliver Israel, toge- 
ther with thyself, into the hands of the Philistines. 

The Princes of the Philistines growing jealous of 
David, he and his company early the next morning 
leave the army, and return to Ziklag. 

The armies join battle ; and the Israelites are 
defeated ; the three sons of Saul are slain, and he 
himself falls on his own sword. 

Three days after an Amalekite brings Sa:ul's 
crown, and the bracelet that was upon his arm, 
and presents them to David, professing that, finding 
him fallen upon his sword, he had killed him out- 
right, and taken the crown from off his head : 
whereupon David causeth him to be put to death 
for stretching forth his hand to slay the Lord's 
anointed, and lamenteth the death of Saul and Jo- 
nathan his son in a funeral song. David, having 
asked counsel of God, goes up to Hebron with 
those that are about him, where he is anointed king 
by the men of Judah, his own tribe, in the 30th 
year of his age ; and there he reigns seven years 
and six months. 

Abner, who was captain of the host to Saul, car- 
ries Ishbosheth Saul's son to Mahanaim, and there 
makes him Idng over the rest of Israel. 

After two years there arise frequent and mortal 
skirmishes between a party of men on David's side, 
headed by Joab, David's nephew, and another par- 
ty on Ishbosheth's side, whereof Abner is chief; 
but the former still grows stronger and stronger. 

Abner, affronted by Ishbosheth, revolted to Da- 
vid, and deals with the chief men of Israel to trans- 
fer the whole kingdom unto him, and this in the 
hearing of the Benjamiles. 

He comes to David, and is kindly received ; re- 
turning, he is treacherously murdered by Joab. 
David much laments his untimely d-eath, and bu- 
ries him at Hebron. 

Baanah and Rechab murder their lord and mas- 
ter Ishbosheth, as he lieth resting himself upon his 
bed. They bring his head to David, who in detes- 
tation of their treason causeth them immediately to 
be put to death. 

The captains and elders of all the tribes coming 
to Plebron, anoint David a third time, and make him 
king over all Israel. 

David with all Israel marcheth to Jerusalem 
against the Jebusites, and taketh the fort of Zion, 
and calls it the city of David, and making Jerusa- 
lem the seat of his kingdom, reigneth there overall 
Israel 33 years. 

The ark of the covenant, which in the first sab- 
batical year was brought from Gilgal to Shiloh, is 
this year, being also a sabbatical year, brought from 
Kirjath-jearim out of the house of Abinadab, and 
placed at Zion ; 30,000 choice men of Israel at- 
tending it, and singing the 68th Psalm. 

David now dwelling in his house of cedar, which 
he had built, and living in a full and perfect peace, 
imparteth to Nathan the prophet his purpose of

listines, Edomites, Amalekites, Moabites, Ammon- 
ites, and Syrians, and extends his kingdom to the 
utmost bound of that land which had been promised 
to the seed of Abraham, and never possessed by any 
of them, save only by David and his son Solomon. 

At the end of this year Joab, going with the army 
against the Ammonites, bcsiegeth Rabbah,the me- 
tropohs of Am'mon, whilst David takes his ease at 
Jerusalem, and there commits adultery with Bath- 
sheba the ivife of Uriah the Hittite, who was then 
m the army, whom he also procures to be slain. 

The child so gotten in adultery is born. David 
is convicted by Nathan the prophet of his sin, and 
he repents ; in testimony whereof he composeth the 
51st Psalm. The child dieth. 

Bathsheba becomes now David's wife, and bear- 
eth him a son, anto whom, as unto'on.e who should 
prove a man of peace, God gives the name of Solo- 
mon ; and, as to one beloved of the Lord, the name 
of Jedidiah. 

Amnon, David's eldest son, defloureth his sister 
Tamar. 

Absalom avengeth his sister Tamar, and killeth 
his brother Amnon ; for which thing he fleeth to 
Geshur in Syria, where he continues three years 
with king Talmai, his grandfather by the mother's 
side. 

After three years exile he returns to Jerusalem, 
where he continues two years, before the king his 
father admits him into his presence, and is recon- 
ciled to him. 

This rebel son having got chariots and horses, 
and a guard to attend him, insinuates himself into 
the favour of the people, and steals away their 
hearts from his father David. 

The next year following, under pretence of a 
vow, he obtaineth leave to go to Hebron, where, by 
Ahithophel's counsel, he breaks out into open rebel- 
lion, and forceth his father to fly from Jerusalem 

Ahithophel, because his counsel in all matters is 
not followed by Absalom, hangs himself. 

Absalom having lost 20,000 men, fleeth, and a 
bough of an oak catching hold of him, he there 
hangs, and is run through by Joab. 

David, tempted by Satan, commandeth Joab to 
number the people : God, offended thereat, sends a 
prophet to put three plagues to his choice viz. the 
famine, sword, or pestilence. David chooseth to 
fall into the hands of a merciful God, rather than 
into the hands of men. So God sends apestiiCnce ; 
whereof 70,000 men die in one day. The angel 
being about to destroy Jerusalem, God bids him 
hold his hand ; for he beholds David repenting in 
sackcloth, and entreating him to spare the innocent 
people, and to turn his hand upon himself, and upon 
his father's house. 

Rehoboam is born unto Solomon by Naamah, an 
Ammonitish woman. 

David being- now 70 years of age, and broken 
with continual cares and wars, grows so weak and 
feeble, that clothes can no longer preserve heat in 
him. Therefore Abishag, a young virgin, is appoint- 
ed to keep him warm. Adonijah, seeing his father 
thus declining, by the assistance of Joab and Abia- 
thar, makes himself king : which David understand- 
ino-, he presently commands Zadok the priest, and 
Nathan the prophet, with other great men, to anoint 
Solomon king. Adonijah hearing this, betakes him 
self to the sanctuary, and is pardoned. 

David, having given instructions to his son Solo- 
mon, dieth ; after he had reigned in Hebron sevejt

years and six months, and 33 years in Jerusalem 
over all Israel. 

Pharaoh king of Egypt gives his daughter in mar- 
riage to Solomon. 

The Lord appears to Solomon in a dream, and 
bids him ask what he vtill, and it shall be given him. 
Solomon asketh wisdom ; God gives him wisdom 
from above, and adds thereunto riches and honour. 
Of this divine wisdom Solomon makes an eminent 
manifestation in judging between two ballots. 

The fifth Age of the World. 
^OLOMON layeth the foundation of the temple 
^ in the 480th year after the departure of the 
children of Israel out of Egypt. 

Solomon's temple finished in the eleventh 3ear of 
his reign ; having been seven years and an half in 
building. 

Solomon this year (being the 9th Jubilee, and 
opening the fourth Millenary of the world) with 
great magnificence celebrates the dedication of the 
temple : at which time God giveth a visible sign of 
his favour. 

Solomon having, as it is with reason believed, for- 
saken his lusts and vanities, to which he had been 
too intemperately addicted, and written, as a testi- 
mony of his repentance, his book called. The Preach- 
er, dieth. He reigned 40 )ears. 

The Israelites assemble at Shechem to crown Re- 
hoboam, Solomon's son, king over all Israel. The 
people by Jeroboam sue unto him for a removal of 
some grievances ; to whom Rehoboam, by the ad- 
vice of young men, returning an harsli answer, 
alienates the hearts of ten tribes from liim, who 
make Jeroboam king over them, and fall ;it the same 
time from the house of David, and from the true 
worship of God. 

Jeroboam, in the beginning of his reign, repairs 
Shechem, destroyed by Abimelech 258 years before, 
and there dwells ; afterward going over .loril.m he 
builds Penuel, and at length makes Tir/,;ih the seat 
of his kingdom. But fearing lest his new subjects, 
by going to Jerusalem to worship, may be induced 
to revolt from him, he deviseth a new form of reli- 
gion, setting up two golden calves, the one at Beth- 
el, the other at Dan, for the seduced people to bow 
down unto. 

From the time of this dismal rent Rehoboam 
reigneth over Judah and Benjamin 17 years, and 
Jeroboam over Israel, or the other ten tribes, 
22 years. 

The Priests and Levites, and other Israelites who 
feared God, stick to Rehoboam, and maintain the 
kingdom of Judah three years ; after which time 
Rehoboam ftiUs to idolatry, and walketh no more in 
the ways of David and Solomon. 

Jeroboam sacrificing to his calf at Beth-el, a pro- 
phet is sent unto Kim from God, who foretells the 
judgment whu^h should one day be executed upon 
that altar, and the priests (viz. those whom Jero- 
boam had mude of the lowest of the people) that 
served at it. Which prophecy then and there is 
confirmed by c-igns and wonders upon the king him- 
self, and upon tiie altar. 

Shishak king of Egypt spoileth Jerusalem and the 
temple ; but the king and the princes repenting at 
the preaching of Shemaiah the prophet, God gives 
them not over to utter destruction. 

Abijam the son of Rehoboam succeeds his father 
in the kingdom of Judah, and reigns three years. 

He obtains a great victory over Jerobonm, killeth 
500,000 men in one battle, and taketh Beth-el.

reigneth not full two years. 
27. Nadub at the siege of Gibbethon (a town of the 

Philistines) is slain by Baasha of the tribe of Issa- 
ch>ir in the third year of Asa ; and the same year 
having made himself king over Israel, he utterly de- 
stroyelh the whole race of Jeroboam, and reigneth 
24 years. At this time lived the prophets Jehu, 
Hanani, and Azarias. 
2 Chron. Asa destroyeth idolatry, and, enjoying ten years 
XIV. of peace, strengthens his kingdom with forts and a 
standing army. 

Zerah tlie Ethiopian, with an innumerable army, 
invadeth Judah : Asa overcomes him, sacrificeth to 
God of the spoil, and maketh a solemn covenant 
with God. He also deposeth Maachah his grand- 
mother, a great patroness of idolatry ; bringeth into 
the temple those tilings which his father and himself 
had consecrated unto God, and enjoys a long peace. 
Elah the son of Baasha succeeds his father in the 
kingdom of Israel. 

In the second year of his reign, and the twenty^- 
seventh of Asa's, Zimri, one of his captains, con- 
spires against him, kills him, and reigneth in his 
stead. As soon as he sits in the throne, he destroy- 
eth the whole family of Baasha ; but the army 
which then la}' before Gibbethon makes Omri their 
king, who fresently besiegedi Tirzah, and taketh 
it ; which Zimri seeing, he sets on fire the king's 
p. dace, and perisheth in the flames. 

21, The people of Israel are now divided into two 
fictions ; one follows Tibni the son of Ginath, and 

22, ende.ivours to make him king ; the other adheres 
to Omri ; but Tibni dying, Omri reigns alone m 
the 31st year of Asa. 

23, 24, Omri having reigned six years in Tirzah, re-

which he himself had built.

XXII. fourth year of Ahab king of Israel, and reigneth 25

XX. 31. having demolished the high places and groves, in 
XVII. 7. the tiiird year of his reign he sends Levites with 
the princes to instruct the people in the law. God 
in the meantime subdueth his enemies under him.

shaphat king of Judah, is said to have begun his 
reign in the second year of Jehoram the son of Je- 
hoshaphat. 

Ahab having got Jehoshaphat to assist him in the 
siege of Ramoth-gilead, before he goes, he asketh 
counsel of 400 false prophets, who promise him 
victory and success ; but by Jehoshaphat's advice 
Micaiah, a true prophet of God, is consulted, who 
foretells his overthrow ; and according to his 
word Ahab is slain at Ramoth-gilead, and buried at 
Samaria. 

Ahab being dead, the Moabites revolt from Is- 
rael, who had continued in subjection ever since 
king David's days. 

Ahaziah king of Israel, lying ill of a fall, sends 
to consult Baal-zebub the god of Ekron concerning 
his recovery. Elijah the prophet meeteth the mes- 
senger, and telleth him Ahaziah shall surely die ; 
whereupon two captains over fifty men apiece are 
sent to apprehend him, and bring him before the 
king ; Elijah calleth for fire from heaven, and de 
stroyeth both them and their companies. A third 
captain with his fifty men being sent, and behaving 
himself submissively, Elijah goes along with him ; 
the prophet certifies the king that he shall not 
come down from his bed alive. So Ahaziah dieth, 
having governed (partly by himself, and partly to- 
gether with his father) two years. 

Jehoram succeedeth his brother Ahaziah in the 
kingdom of Israel in the latter end of the eighteenth 
year of Jehoshaphat, and reigneth twelve years. 
Elijah is taken up into heaven in a fiery chariot. 
Jehoshaphat grown old gives to his sons many 
gifts with fenced cities in Judea ; but his eldest son 
Jehoram he now more absolutely investeth with the 
throne of the kingdom in the fifth year of Jehoram 
king of Israel. 

Jehoram now, by the death of his father, has the 
kingdom of Judah to himself, which he holds four 
years. He is no sooner settled in his throne, but he 
puts all his brethren to the sword, with many of the 
princes of Israel. At this time the Edomites, who 
ever since king David's time had lived in subjection 
to Judah, revolt, and (as it was foretold by Isaac) 
they forever shake off his yoke. Libnah also, a 
city of the priests in the tribe of Judah, falls off 
from him about this time. 

Jehoram following the counsel of his wicked wife 
AthaUah, the daughter of Ahab king of Israel, sets 
up in Judah, and even in Jerusalem itself, the idol- 
atrous worship of Baal, and compels his subjects 
thereto ; a letter which was left for him by Elijah 
the prophet comes to his hands, which reproves 
him, and denounces all those calamities and punish- 
ments Avhich afterward befell him. 

Ahaziah su-cceeds his father in the kingdom of 
Judah (having had part of the government bestow- 
ed upon him the year before) in the 12th year of 
Jehoram king of Israel, and reigneth one year in 
Jerusalem. 

Jehoram king of Israel, and Ahaziah king of Ju- 
dah, lead their armies to Ramoth-gilead against Ha- 
zael, who had newly succeeded Ben-hadad in the 
kingdom of Syria ; Jehoram is dangerously wound- 
ed, and retires himself to Jezreel to be cured. In 
the meantime Elisha sendeth a young prophet with 
instructions to anoint Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat, 
the son of Nimshi, at Ramoth-gilead, king over Is- 
rael, and to open to him the will of God for the 
rooting out of the house of Ahab; who, being pro- 
claimed king by the soldiers, marcheth straight to

Jezreel, killeth Jehoram in the field of Naboth, and 
causeth Jezebel to be cast out at a window, where 
she is eaten by dogs. He despatcheth letters also 
to Samaria, and causeth seventy of Ahab's children 
to be beheaded. Then taking with him Jehonadab 
the son of Rechab, he comes himself to Samaria, 
and destroys the whole family of Ahab, and all the 
priests of Baal. Nevertheless, having put down the 
worship of Baal, he departs not from the worship of 
Jeroboam's golden calves, but maintains that idol- 
atry all the time of his reign, which was 28 years. 

Jehu proceeds farther, and executes the divine 
vengeance upon the idolatrous house of Judah ; he 
pursues Ahaziah who fled towards Megiddo, and 
overtaking him at Gur, causeth him to be killed in 
his chariot. Going also to Samaria, he meeteth 
with 42 of Ahaziah's kinsmen, whom he causeth to 
be slain. 

Athaliah the daughter of Ahab, seeing her son 
Ahaziah dead, usurps the kingdom, destroying those 
that had right to the succession ; but Jehosheba the 
daughter of king Jehoram, and wife to Jehoiada the 
high priest, takes Jehoash, being then an infant, 
and son to her brother Ahaziah, and hides him in 
the temple, and so saves him from that massacre 
which was made of the rest of the blood royal. 

Jehoiada the high priest brings out Jehoash, now 
seven years old, and anoints him king ; causeth 
Athaliah to be slain, and restoreth the worship of 
the true God, destroying the house of Baal, and 
commanding the idolatrous priest Mattan to be kill- 
ed before his altars. Jehoash, now beginning his 
reign in the seventh year of Jehu, reigneth 40 years 
in Jerusalem. 

Jehoash, in the 23d year of his reign, giveth or 
der for the repair of the temple, committing the 
charge thereof to Jehoiada the high priest. 

Jehoahaz succeedeth his father Jehu in the king- 
dom of Israel, and reigneth 17 years : during all 
which time Hazael king of Syria oppresseth him, 
and exerciseth all those cruelties upon the Israel- 
ites, which Elisha the prophet had foretold. 

Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz king of Israel, is 
taken into the consortship of that kingdom by his 
father in the 27th year of Jehoash king of Judah, 
and reigneth 16 years. 

Zechariah, the son of Jehoiada the high priest, 
for reproving the people of Judah that fall to idol- 
atry after the decease of Jehoiada, is stoned to death 
in the court of the house of the Lord hj the com- 
mandment of king Jehoash, who the next year after 
is murdered by some of his servants, as he lay in 
his bed ; and Amaziah his son succeedeth him. 

Jehoahaz dieth, and Jehoash his son succeedeth 
in the kingdom of Israel. Not long after his father's 
funeral he visits Ehsha the prophet, then lying sick, 
and with many tears asketh counsel of him, who 
promiseth him victory over the Syrians. A dead 
man is brought to life by being laid in Elisha's 
grave. 

Jeroboam the second is this year taken into the 
consortship of the kingdom of Israel by his flither 
Jehoash, going to war against the Syrians. This i.s 
gathered from Azariah king of Judah's beginning 
his reign in the 27th year of this Jeroboam. 

Amaziah king of Judah, growing proud upon a 
victory obtained against the Edomites this 14th year 
of his reign, provoketh Jehoash king of Israel to 
battle. Jehoash overcomes him, and takes him 
prisoner, breaks down 400 cubits of the wall of Je- 
rusalem, and having spoiled the temple and the

king's house of a vast treasure, returns to Samaria. 
Jehoash dies fifteen years before Amaziah, and 
Jeroboam the second, his son, reigneth in Samaria 
41 years. 

Amaziah, finding a conspiracy against him at Je- 
rusalem, flies to Lachish, where he is murdered, 
after whom comes his son Uzziah, or Azariah, in 
the 27th yea.r of Jeroboam the second, and reign- 
eth 52 years in Jerusalem. 

Now is held the 13th Jubilee under the two most 
flourishing kings ; in whose times live sundry great 
prophets in both kingdoms ; Isaiah and Joel in Ju- 
dah ; Jonas, Hosea, and Amos, in Israel. 

Jonas of Gath-hepher, a town belonging to the 
tribe of Zebulon in Galilee of the Gentiles, (ob- 
serve here the blindness of the Pharisees, John vii. 
52.) was afterward sent into Nineveh, the metro- 
polis of Assyria, where both king and people at his 
preaching repented. 

Jeroboam king of Israel (under whom that king- 
dom came to its full height of glory) dieth ; after his 
death all things fall into confusion, and the state is 
reduced to a plain anarchy, which lasteth 1 1 years 
and an half; for such an interregnum or vacancy the 
synchronism of Kings requires, that the six months 
of Zachariah the son of Jeroboam may answer the 
38 years and one month of Shallum, who murdered 
him in the 39th year of Azariah, or Uzziah, king 
of Judah. 

Zachariah the son of Jeroboam, the 4th and last 
of the race of Jehu (as was foretold) begins his reign 
over Israel in the 38th year of Azariah, or Uzziah, 
king of Judah, and reigneth 6 months. 

Shallum the son of Jabesh, at the end of 6 months, 
murders him in ihe sight of the people, and reigns 
one month, in the 39th year of Uzziah king of Ju- 
dah. After Zachariah's death follow those direful 
calamities foretold by Amos the prophet. 

Menahem the son of Gadi going from Tirzah to 
Samaria, killeth Shallum, wasteth Tiphsah and the 
borders thereof ; and because the town would not 
open to him, he takes it, and rips up all the wo 
men with child. 

While Menahem in these broils labours to get 
the possession of the kingdom, Pul king of Assyvia 
invadeth his country, to whom Menahem giveth 
1000 talents of silver, and afterward reigneth quiet- 
ly 10 years. 

Pekahiah succeedeth his father Menahem in the 
50th year of Uzziah king of Judah, and reigneth 2 
years. 

Pekah, one of his captains, kills him in his own 
palace at Samaria, and reigneth 20 years. 

Jotham succeedeth his father Uzziah in the king- 
dom of Judah at the age of 25 years, and reigneth 
16 years in Jerusalem. 

Jotham subdues the Ammonites, and makes them 
tributary for 3 years. Under him and his two 
successors the prophets Micah and Hosea execute 
their prophetical office. About this time lived the 
prophet Nahum, and prophesied the destruction of 
Nineveh. 

Ahaz succeedeth his father Jotham in the 17th 
year of Pekah king of Israel, and reigneth 16 years. 
This year Rezin king of Syria and Pekah king of 
Israel are confederate against Judah, which strikes 
a great terror into that nation ; but unto Ahaz, God, 
by the prophet Isaiah, sends a gracious message, 
with a promise of deliverance ; for a sign whereof 
(when the incredulous king, being bid to ask a sign, 
refused to do it) God gives him the promise of Im-

manuel to be born of a virgin. Rezin and Pekah 
now lay siege to Jerusalem, and therein to Ahaz, 
but are beaten oif ; Aii;iz is no sooner delivered from 
his enemies, but he forsakes God his deliverer, and 
falls to idolatry. Wherefore God gives him over 
into the hands of the king of Israel, who slays of 
the men of Judah 120,000 in one day, with a great 
many of the nobilit}', arid carrieth away 200,000 
captives ; but these, by the advice of the prophet 
OJed, are released and sent home. 

Hoshea the son of Elah murders Pekah king of 
Israel, and gets the kingdom into his own hands ; it 
is said, in the 20th year of Jotham, that is. from the 
time that Jotham first began to reign, which is the 
same with the 4th of Ahaz his son. Hoshea, by 
reason of the tumults and disorders which ensued, 
cannot be said to have reigned till 9 years after, 
the state continuing all that time in great confusion, 
without any form of government. 

Shalmaneser, king of Assyria, comes up against 
Hoshea, and makes him to serve him, and pay him 
tribute. 

Hezekiah succeedeth his father Ahaz in the king- 
dom of Judah : he destroyeth idolatry, and pros- 
pers ; he also celebrates a solemn passover, and 
reigneth 29 years in Jerusalem ; his father had 
made him in the last year of his reign, his assistant 
in the government. 

Ploshea king of Israel, having consulted with So 
king of Egypt, refuseth to pay tribute to Shalma- 
neser ; provoked hereby, and jealous of some far- 
ther design in that confederacy of Hoshea with the 
king of Egypt, Shalmaneser layeth siege to Sama- 
ria, and towards the latter end of the third year 
taketh it, and carrieth away the Israelites captive 
into his own country. This was the end of the 
kingdom of Israel, when it had stood divided from 
the kingdom of Judah 254 years. 

Sennacherib king of Assyria, coming up against 
Judah, besiegeth their fenced cities, and taketh 
many of them, but is pacified by a tribute. 

About this time Hezekiah falls sick, and is told 
by Isaiah that he shall die ; but pouring out his 
tears and prayers unto God, he recovereth his 
health, and obtaineth a prolongation of his life and 
kingdom for 1 5 years. For a sign whereof the sun 
goes ten degrees backward. 

Sennacherib, not obseiving the articles of peace, 
layeth siege to Jerusalem, and sendeth a blasphe- 
mous letter to Hezekiah ; which he opening, and 
spreading before the Lord in the temple with many 
tears, craves assistance from God against the As- 
syrians. Whereupon the prophet Isaiah assures 
him that God will deliver him, and defend that city. 
The self-same night an angel of the Lord slays 
185,000 men in the Assyrian army; and the next 
morning Sennacherib departeth, and returns to 
Nineveh ; where not long after, whilst he is wor- 
shipping in the house of Nisroch his god, he is 
slain by his own sons. 

Manasseh at 12 years of age succeedeth his father 
Hezekiah, and reigneth 55 years. He setteth up idol- 
atry, and sheddeth much innocent blood. Where- 
fore God delivers him up into the hands of the As- 
syrians, who in the 22d year of his reign carry him 
away captive to Babylon : but upon his repentance 
God restores him to his liberty and kingdom. 

This year Nabuchodonosor king of Assyria, pur- 
posing to make himself universal monarch, sends 
Holofernes his general against Judea, who layeth 
siege to Bethulia, and there hath his head taken

off by Judith, a woman ol the tribe of Simeon. 

Amon, aged 22 years, succeedeth his father Ma- 
nasseh, and reigneth 2 years. An idolater indeed, 
as his father, but no penitent : he is murdered by 
his own servants. 

Josiah, a child of 8 j^ears old, succeedeth his fa- 
ther Amon, and reigneth 31 years. In his time 
lived Jeremiah and Zephaniah the prophets, and 
HnWah the proplietess. 

In the 12th year of his reign, he begins a reforma- 
tion in Judah and Jerusalem, and carries it on suc- 
cessfully. 

This year he giveth order for the repair of the 
temple. Hilkiah the high priest, having found a 
book of the law, sends it to the king, who hears it 
read all over to him ; and thereupon asketh counsel 
of Huldah the prophetess, who prophesieth the de- 
struction of Jerusalem, but not in his days. Josiah 
calling to him the elders of Judah and Jerusalem, 
with the priests and prophets, causeth the book of 
the law to be read over before all the people, and 
reneweth the covenant between God and his peo- 
ple ; he burneth also dead men's bones upon the 
altar at Beth-el, as was foretold ; and keepeth a 
most solemn passover. 

At this time a war breaks out between the king 
of Egypt and the king of Assyria. Josiah unad- 
visedly engageth in this war against Necho king of 
Egj'pt, and is slain in the valley of Megiddo. The 
good king being thus taken out of the world, whose 
life only kept off the Babylonish captivity from that 
nation, not only the people then living bewailed his 
death, but even in after time a pubhc mourning for 
him was kept. The prophet Jeremy also in remem- 
brance thereof composeth his Lamentations ; where- 
in bewailing the calamities which were shortly to 
befall that people, as present before his eyes, in a 
most compassionate manner he points, as it were 
with his finger, at the death of Josiah as the source 
and original of all those ensuing miseries. 

After the death of Josiah the people anoint Shal- 
lum one of his younger sons to be their king. After 
three months'reign he is deposed by Pharaoh Necho, 
who makes Eliakim, his elder brother, king over 
Judah and Jerusalem, and changes his name into 
Jehoiakim ; but Jehoahaz he carries along with him 
captive into Egypt, where he ends his days. 

Jehoiakim, at 25 years of age, begins to reign, 
and he reigneth 1 1 years. 

Uriah and Jeremiah prophecy against Jerusa- 
lem ; the former is put to death, the latter is ac- 
quitted, and set at liberty. About this time Habak- 
kuk also prophesieth. 

This year is Nebuchadnezzar the Great made by 
his father Nebopolazzar his associate in the king- 
dom of Assyria and Babylon : into whose hands God 
delivers up Jehoiakim, who is put in chains to be 
carried to Babylon ; but upon his submission and 
promises of obedience is left in his own house, 
where he lives a servant to Nebuchadnezzar 3 
years. From which entering of the king and people 
of the Jews into the subjection and service of Ne- 
buchadnezzar are the 70 years of the captivity of 
Babylon to be reckoned, which were foretold by 
the prophet Jeremy. 

Nebuchadnezzar gives order to Ashpenaz, master 
of the eunuchs, that he shall carry from thence of 
the children of Israel, both of the blood royal (as 
was foretold by the prophet Isaiah to Hezekiah) 
and also of the nobility the choicest youths both for 
beauty and wit that he can find ; who, being edu-

cated 3 years in the language and sciences of the 
Chaldeans, may afterward be fit to serve the king 
in his palace ; among whom, of the tribe of Judah, 
are Daniel, called Belteshazzar ; Hananiah, called 
Shadrach ; Mishael, called Meshach ; and Azariah, 
called Abed-nego ; their names being thus changed 
by the master of the eunuchs. 

Whilst Nebuchadnezzar pursues his victories over 
the king of Egypt, his fiither dies ; which coming to 
his knowledge, he gives order for the bringing away 
of the captives, and posts with a small company the 
nearest way to Babylon, where he is received as the 
lawful successor to his father's dominions. He 
causeth to be brought to Babylon what he thinks fit 
of the vessels and furniture of the temple, and 
placeth them in the house of his god, viz. i3elus. 

Jehoiakim, having lived 3 years in subjection to 
the king of Babylon, falls off, and rebels against him 

This year (being the second of Nebuchadnez- 
zar's reign, taking it as it begun at his father's 
death,) Daniel recovers Nebuchadnezzar's dream, 
and interprets it to betoken the four chief mon- 
archies ; whereupon he and his companions are 
highly advanced. 

Nebuchadnezzar sends an army, consisting of 
Chaldeans, Synians, Moabites, and Ammonites 
against Jehoiakim ; these waste the whole coun- 
try of Judea, and carry away from thence 3023 
captives : Jehoiakim also is taken prisoner ; whom 
they put to death, cause his carcase to be drawn 
out at the gate of Jerusalem (as was foretold by the 
prophet Jeremiah) and leave it without the walls 
unburied. 

Jehoiachin (called also Conias and Jeconias) at 
18 years of age succeeds his father Jehoiakim, and 
reigns 3 months in Jerusalem. 

Against him Nebuchadnezzar leads an army, and 
besiegeth Jerusalem : Jehoiachin with all his kin- 
dred and courtiers come out to meet him. Nebu- 
chadnezzar makes them all prisoners, enters Jeru- 
salem, and takes all the treasure he can find in the 
temple and the king's palace, breaking in pieces 
all the vessels of gold and furniture which Solomon 
had made for the temple ; he carrieth away captive 
to Babylon the king, his mother, wives, courtiers 
magistrates, and 10,000 able men out of Jerusalem, 
leaving none behind but the poorer sort of people ; 
and out of the country round about he carried also 
away 8000 artificers ; among the captives are 
Mordecai, and Ezekiel the priest ; Ezekiel there- 
fore in his prophecy reckons the time all along 
from the beginning of this captivity. An Epistle, 
said to be Jeremiah's, is now sent to the captives, 
admonishing them to beware of the idolatry which 
they shall see in Babylon. 

Nebuchadnezzar before his departure from Jeru- 
salem makes Mattaniah, Jehoiachin's father's bro- 
ther, king, changing his name into Zedekiah. 

Zedekiah, beginning his reign at 21 years of age, 
reigneth 1 1 years ; he, by rebelling against Nebu- 
chadnezzar, or rather by continuing in an open re- 
bellion (as his fathers had done)againstGod, brought 
upon Jerusalem and the whole nation of the Jews 
those long-deserved calamities which God had so 
often forewarned them of by his prophets ; for, in 
the latter end of the 11th year of Zedekiah, Jeru- 
salem, after a long siege, is taken by Nebuchad- 
nezzar, and his Chaldeans enter it. Zedekiah flees 
away by night, but, being pursued, is taken, and 
brought prisoner to Riblab, Nebuchadnezzar's head- 
quarters ; there having first seen his children

slaughtered before his eyes, he has afterward those 
eyes put out, and being loaden with chains, is carri- 
ed away captive to Babylon. About a month after 
the taking of the city, Nebuzar-adan, captain of the 
guard, sent by Nebuchadnezzar, makes his entry 
into it, sets fire to the temple, the king's palace, 
and some noblemen's houses, and so layeth the 
whole city in ashes ; the walls of Jerusalem being 
razed to the ground, all that were left in the city, 
and those that a little before had fallen to the Chal- 
deans, with what treasure he can find, doth Nebu- 
zar-adan carry with him into Babylon. 

And thus was Judah carried out of her own land 
468 years after David began to reign over it, 388 
years after the f\dling off of the ten tribes, and 134 
years after the destruction of the kingdom of Israel. 

Obadiah the prophet denounceth God's judgments 
against the Edomites, who now insult over the ca- 
lamity of the Jews. The same do Jeremy and' 
Ezekiel, and the author of the 79th and 137th 
Psalms, who ail wrote about the same time. 
The sixth Age of the World. 

NEBUCHADNEZZAR, proud of his victories 
over Egypt, and his conquest of Judea and 
other countries, and boasting the magnificence of 
his buildings, falls distracted, and is driven from 
the society of men. 

After seven years spent among the beasts of the 
field, his understanding returning to him, he humbly 
acknowledgeth the power of God, and his goodness 
towards him : and is restored to his kingdom. A few 
days after he dies, having reigned about 20 months 
together with his fither, and 43 years by himself 

Evil-merodach his son succeeds him in the 37th 
year of the captivity of Jehoiachin, or Jeconiah, 
who presently gives order for the enlargement of 
Jehoiachin, and two days after changeth his prison 
clothes, sets him above all the princes of his court, 
and causeth him to eat at his own table. Jehoiachin 
dies about two years after. 

Belsh;izzar, having removed some persons who 
had murdered his father Evil-merodach, and usurp- 
ed his throne, succeeds in the kingdom of Babylon 
In the first year of this king's reign Daniel has the 
vision of the four beasts, signifying the four mo- 
narchies of the world, and of God delivering over 
all power and sovereignty to the Son of man. 

In the third year of Belshazzar Daniel receives 
the vision of the ram and he-goat, betokening the 
destruction of the Persian monarchy, and the great 
misery which Antiochus should bring upon the peo- 
ple of God. 

This year Belshazzar makes a great feast for all 
his nobles, and causeth to be brought forth all the 
vessels of the house of the Lord, which Nebuchad- 
nezzar his grandf ither had brought away from Je- 
rusalem, to the glory of his idols, and dishonour of 
the true God. In the midst of all this jollity a hand 
appears writing on the wall of the room in which 
the king and his numerous guests sit drinking. The 
king, greatly terrified hereat, sends for his Chal- 
dean astrologers and wizards, and commands them 
to read the writing, and give him the interpretation 
of it ; but they not being able to do either, Daniel 
is sent for, who reads the writing, and gives the 
king the interpretation of it : whereupon Daniel is 
publicly proclaimed the third man in the kingdom. 
The same night Belshazzar is slain, Babylon taken 
by Cyrus, and the empire translated to the Medes 
and Persians, as had been sundry times foretold by 
the prophets.

Cyrus having given the kingdom of Babylon to 
Danus the Mede, reserving some palaces in the city 
for himself, he returns through Media into Persia. 
Daniel's greatness raising envy in some princi- 
pal courtiers and officers, these contrive his ruin : 
but finding nothing in his management of affairs 
whereof to accuse him, they resolve to order mat- 
ters so, that Daniel's piety towards God shall be- 
come an ofi"ence worthy of death. They move the 
king to malie a decree, that for 30 days no petition 
shall be made to any god or man, but to himself 
only. AVhich decree Daniel breaks by making sup- 
plication to his God, and is for doing so cast into a 
den of lions : but being found to have received no 
hurt there, Darius commands the conspirators to be 
cast into the same den, who are presently devoured; 
and the king publisheth a decree, that all persons, 
throughout his dominions shall reverence and fear 
the God of Daniel. 

Towards the end of the first year of the reign of 
Darius the Mede, to be reckoned from the subver- 
sion of the Babylonish empire, begins the 7ulh year 
of the captivity of the Jews, which, by Jeremiah's 
prophecy, was to be the last year of their calamity. 
Upon consideration of which time so near at hand, 
Daniel pours out most fervent prayers to God for 
the remission of his own sins, and those of his peo- 
ple ; and for that promised deliverance out of their 
captivity. To whom the angel Gabriel brings an 
answer not only of this, but also of the spiritual de- 
liverance of the church by the death of the Mes- 
siah ; uttering that memorable prophecy of the se- 
venty weeks. 

Cyrus, his father Cambyses, and his father-in-law 
Cyaxaresboth dying, Persia falls to him by inherit- 
ance, and Media by contract of marriage : and so 
he is possessed of the whole eastern empire ; from 
which time both Xenophon (Inst. lib. 8.) reckons 
the 7 years of his reign, and the Holy Scripture out 
of the records of the Medes and Persians, reckons 
this his first year ; for it teacheth us, that in this 
year came forth that renowned edict of his, Thur 
saith Cyrus king of Persia, The Lord God of hea 
ven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth 
and hath charged me to build him an house at Je- 
rusalem which is in Judah, &c. At which time the 
70 3'ears of the Babylonish captivity being expired, 
(as was foretold by Isaiah and Jeremiah, the former 
making mention of Cyrus by name) he gives leave 
to all the Jews, dwelling in all parts of his domi- 
nions, to return into their own country, and com- 
mands them immediately to fall in hand with re- 
building of the temple. 

He restoreth also all the vessels of the house 
of God, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought from 
thence ; and contributes towards the building. 

The Jews therefore return into their own coun- 
tr}' ; the poorer sort having allowance made them to 
defray their charges upon the v/ay. The number of 
the children of the province, or Hebrews born in 
Chaldea, which with their captain Zerubbabel, and 
their high priest Jeshua, return out of captivity, is 
42,360, besides proselytes, men-servants, and maid- 
servants, to the number of 7,337. Now the particu- 
lar sums of Ezra's catalogue being cast up amount 
only to 29,818 ; and those in Nehemiah's account 
make but 31,031, both whicb come far short of that 
universalsum of42,360, which atthe bottom of each 
catalogue i.s said to be the number of the whole con- 
gregation. Wherefore the Hebrews in the xxixth 
chapter of their great chronicle tell us, that to com

plete the full sum 42,360, we must cast in those of 
the other ten tribes of Israel, who came up out of 
the captivity with the Jews. For even till the last 
extirpation of the Jewish state there remained some 
reliques of the other ten tribes, not only in the dis 
persion. and at Jerusalem, and other cities of Judah ; 
but also of those who kept still in their own seats 
for Shalmaneser swept not away all out of the whole 
ten tribes, but left a remnant of them in their own 
country, who were afterward, together with the 
Jews, Benjamites, and Levites, carried away by 
Nebuchadnezzar into Babylon, and are now dis- 
missed and sent back again by C3'rus. 

In the second year after their return from Baby 
Ion, in the second month, they appoint Levites to 
oversee the work of the house of God, and lay the 
foundation of the temple ; the old men lamenting 
who 63 years before had seen the old temple stand- 
ing, and the younger sort rejoicing to see the new 
one going up. 

The Samaritans by the means of certain courtiers 
about Cyrus, whom they had bribed for that pur- 
pose, disturb the Jews in their work of the temple 

In the beginning of the reign of Artaxerxes (call 
ed in profane story Cambyses) the Samaritans, who, 
whilst Cyrus lived, had secretly undermined the 
Jews, now openly frame a direct accusation in 
writing against the inhabitants of Judah and Jeru- 
salem, and present it to the king, who presently for- 
bids the Jews to proceed in the building. 

In the second year of king Darius Hystaspes (the 
same with Ahasuerus) Zerubbabel and Jeshua, in- 
cited by the prophets Haggai and Zechariah, set 
forward the building of the temple. 

Haggai prophesieth that the glory of this second 
temple shall be greater than that of the former ; not 
as being a more magniticent structure, but in re- 
gard the blessed Messiah shall one day honour it 
with his presence, and from thence propagate peace 
to all nations. 

About this time Zechariah the prophet exhorteth 
the Jews to repentance. 

Ahasuerus puts away queen Vashti his wife, and 
not long after espouseth Esther, the niece of Mor- 
decai the Jew. 

In the sixth year of Darius, or Ahasuerus, the 
temple is finished ; the dedication whereof is cele- 
brated with great joy and abundance of sacrifices, 
the Priests and Levites, every one in his place, at- 
tending on the ministry of the temple. The pass- 
over also is celebrated. 

Haman an Agagite, of the race of the Amalek- 
ites, a great favourite of king Ahasuerus, offended 
at Mordecai, because he falls not down and adores 
him, as others do, resolves to be revenged of the 
whole nation of the Jews, (which was ever averse to 
his) and to root it out ; for the executing of which 
purpose, that he may find a successful time, he caus- 
eth Pur, that is, the Lot, to be cast before him, for to 
know the day and month wherein the Jews shall be 
destroyed, and the lot falls on the 12th month Adar. 

Haman obtains an edict from the king, that all 
Jews, without respect to sex or age, upon the thir- 
teenth day of the month Adar be put to death in all 
the provinces of the king's dominions. Hereupon 
Mordecai, Esther, and all the Jews, humble them- 
selve.'\ before the Lord by fasting and prayer. 

Ahasuerus hearing it read in the chronicles, that 
^ conspiracy had been discovered to him by Morde- 
cai, commanJeth that he be publicly honoured, and 
that by Haman himself, his deadly enemy.

banquet, maketh suit for her own life, and her peo- 
ple's, and accuseth Haman. The king, understand- 
ing that Haman had provided a gallows for Morde- 
cai, causeth him to be hanged thereon. In memory 
of this great deliverance the two days of Purim are 
made festival. 

Ezra the priest, a man skilled in the law of Mo 
ses, obtains a large commission from king Artaxer- 
xes, to settle the Jewish commonwealth, and to 
reform the church at Jerusalem. 

In the seventh year of Artaxerxes, Ezra, with a 
great multitude of Jews, sets out from Babylon. 

Ezra obligeth those who had taken strangers to

In the twentieth year of king Artaxerxes, Nehe- 
miah a Jew, one of his cup-bearers, being made go- 
vernor of Judea, obtains leave to build the walls of 
Jerusalem, and finish that great work. Here begin 
Daniel's 70 weeks to be fulfilled before the passion 
of our Saviour. 

Nehemiah having governed Judea 12 years, re- 
turns to the king of Persia. 

This year is the 21st Jubilee, the last that ever 
the prophets of the Old Testament saw : for that 
place in Nehemiah, chap. xii. 22, is not to be un- 
derstood of the last Darius, but of Darius Nothus, 
who now reigns in Persia ; the full history of Ne- 
hemiah ending with the time of Artaxerxes Longi- 
manus father of this Darius Nothus. 

Hitherto (saith Eusebius in his Chronicle, to the 
32d year of Artaxerxes) the Divine Scriptures of 
the Hebrews contain the annals of the times. But 
those things which were done among them after- 
ward we must deliver out of the books of the Mac- 
cabees, and out of the writings of Josephus, who 
have delivered a general history of the Jewish af- 
fairs from thence down to the times of the Romans. 
That Malachi, the last of the prophets, was con- 
temporary with Nehemiah, appears from hence, that 
he no where exhorts the people to the building of 
the temple, as Haggai and Zachary did ; but, the 
temple being now built, he reproves those disorders, 
which Nehemiah at his second return with a new 
commission from Babylon saith he found in his ab- 
sence to have crept in among the Jews ; as mar- 
riage with strange women, withholding of tithes, and 
abuses in the worship of God. And because a suc- 
cession of prophets was not to be expected, as be- 
fore, he exhorteth the people constantly to adhere 
to the law of Moses, till Christ the chief Prophet 
should appear ; whose forerunner John the Baptist 
should come in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn 
the hearts of the fathers unto their children, and 
the disobedient to the wisdom of the just. See 1 
Mac. iv. 46. and ix. 17. 

A LEXANDER the Great, king of Macedonia, 
-^ passeth out of Europe into Asia, and begins to 
lay waste the Persian Empire. 

Manasses, brother to Jaddus the high priest, re- 
fusing to put away his strange wife, is driven from 
the sacrifice : Sanaballatli his father-in-law, gover- 
nor of Samaria, revolteth from Darius, obtains leave 
of Alexander to build a temple on mount Gerizim, 
and makes Manasses high priest thereof; to which 
resort all such as are entangled in unlawful mar- 
riage, with all such offenders as think themselves 
not safe at Jerusalem. This was the rise of that 
schismatical conventicle of the Samaritans. See 
John iv. 20.

Alexander marcheth towards Jerusalem, intend 
ing to besiege it. Jaddus the high priest, hearing of 
it, putteth on his priestly ornaments, and accom- 
panied with the people all in white, goeth out to 
meet him. Alexander, seeing his habit, f;ills pros 
trate before him, saying that, whilst he uas in Ma- 
cedonia, a man appeared unto him in the very same 
habit, who invited him to come into Asia, and pro- 
mised to deliver the Persian Empire into his hands. 
After this he goes to the temple, and oiTers sacri- 
fice according to the high priest's direction. They 
shew him the prophecy of Daniel, That a Grecian 
should come and destroy the Persians ; whereb}' he 
is mightily confirmed in his persuasion that he him- 
self is the man. Lastly, he bestoweth on the Jews 
whatever favours they desire, and departeth. 

The Persians are overcome, Darius slain, and 
Alexander remains universal monarch of the east- 
ern world. 

Alexander having reigned six years and ten 
months dieth ; his army and dominions are divided 
among his captains. Autigonus makes himself go- 
vernor of Asia, Seleucus of Babylon and the bor- 
dering nations ; Lysimachus hath the Hellespont ; 
Cassander, Macedon ; and Ptolemeus, the son of 
Lagus, gets Egj'pt. 

Ptolemeus, surnamed Soter, makes himself mas- 
ter of Jerusalem by a stratagem ; for he enters the 
city on a s<ibbath-day under pretence of offering sa- 
crifice ; and whilst the Jews suspect nothing, but 
spend the day in ease and idleness, he surpriseth 
the city without i-esistance, and maketh the citizens 
captives. He sendeth several colonies of Jews into 
Egypt, and puts great confidence in them. 

Ptolemeus Philadelphus, son of Ptolemeus Soter, 
being a great favourer of learning, builds a most 
magnificent library at Alexandria. Demetrius Pha- 
lereus, to whom he had committed the care of pro- 
curing all sorts of books, and out of all countries, 
persuades him to employ 72 Jews in translating the 
Holy Scriptures out of the original Hebrew into the 
Greek tongue, which was done in the seventh year 
of his reign. The king also dismisseth many cap- 
tive Jews, and dedicates many presents to the tem- 
ple of God at Jerusalem. 

One Simon, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, go- 
vernor of the temple, falling out with Onias the high 
priest, goes to Apolloniusthe governor of C'elosyria, 
and informs him that there is avast treasure in the 
temple : Apollonius acquaints king Seleucus his mas- 
ter with it, who present!}' sends his treasurer Helio- 
dorus to Jerusalem, to bring this monej' away. He- 
liodorus entering the temple, is by angels struck 
down in the very place, and carried from thence 
half dead ; but by the prayers of Onias he is soon 
after restored to his health. Returning to Seleucus 
that sent him, he magnifies the holiness of the tem- 
ple, and the power of God dwelling in it. 

Antiochus Epiphanes succeeds Seleucus in the 
kingdom of Syria, and reigneth 1 1 years, and some 
months. 

Jason, by corrupting king Antiochus, obtaineth 
the office of high priest. 

Menelaus, brother to Simon the traitor, being 
employed by Jason to carry the money to the king, 
promiseth 300 talents of silver above Avhat Jason 
had sent, and getteth the priesthood to himself. 

Menelaus, not paying the money he had promised 
the king at his admission, is summoned to appear 
before Antiochus ; he substituteth Lysimachus his 
brother in his place.

BIBLE. The sixth Age 

1 Mac. I. Antiochus taketh Jerusalem, and sacketh it, pil 
21, 22. kgeth the temple, destroyeth 40,000 of the inhabi- 
2Mac.V. tants, and selleth as many more. He endeavoureth 
Jos. Ant. also to abolish the worship of God, and forceth many 
1.12.C.7. Jews to forsake their religion. The Samaritans now 
Daniel disown their relation to the Jews, to whom in pros- 
XL 28. perity they pretended alliance, and consecrate the 

temple on mount Gerizim to Jupiter. 
1 Mac. Perseus, having made war upon the Romans, is 
VIII. 3. this year overcome by them, and the kingdom of 
the Macedonians ends, when from Caranus it had 
stood 626 years. Nevertheless the reliques of the 
Macedonian empire, while that of the Roman was 
rising, did yet survive in the Ptolemies of Egypt 
and the kings of Syria. 

King Antiochus, by a public edict, commands all 
nations that are subject unto him to observe the 
same way of divine worship, and laying aside their 
peculiar customs, to profess the same religion with 
the Grecians ; thepunishment of death being threat- 
ened unto such as shall be disobedient ; and he ap- 
points overseers over every people and nation who 
shall compel them hereunto. Of the Jews many 
choose rather to undergo the most cruel torments, 
than to ofi'er sacrifice unto idols ; all which martyr- 
doms, with those glorious suff'erings of the seven 
Maccabean brethren, are recorded in the two Books 
of Maccabees. 

Mattathias, a priest, with his five sons, slay those 
that are sent by king Antiochus to compel them to 
offer abominable sacrifices, and after betake them- 
selves to the desert. They are followed by many 
others, of whom a great number are stifled in their 
caves, because they would not defend themselves on 
the sabbath-daj'. Mattathias abolisheth that super- 
stition, and exhorts his sons to assert their privi- 
leges, and deliver their country from bondage. 

Mattathias dies, and Judas Maccabeus takes upon 
him the management of this affair. He delivers his 
country, and purgeth it from the abominations which 
had been committed in it. 

Apollonius, governor of Samaria, having raised 
an army among the Gentiles and Samaritans, falls 
upon the Jews ; but is discomfited and slain by Ju- 
das Maccabeus. 

Seron also, governor of the lower Syria, musters 
up all the forces under his command, and invades 
Judea ; him Judas Maccabeus encounters, slays 
800 of his men on the place, and puts the rest to 
flight. 

Judas Maccabeus defeats a great army, which 
Antiochus sent against the Jews. Lysias returns 
with a greater power ; Judo.s kills 5000 of his men, 
and causeth him to retreat. He purifieth the tem- 
ple, and setteth it in order, after it had lain desolate 
three years ; and buildeth a wall about Sion. 

Antiochus is taken with a violent pain in his 
bowels, and such a rottenness seizeth his flesh, that 
worms breed in it ; he confesseth that he is plagued 
for the wrong done to Jerusalem, and dieth in the 
149th year of the kingdom of the Grecians. His 
son Antiochus Eupator, a child about nine years old, 
succeeds him. He maketh peace with the Jews, 
but quickly breaketh it : he puts to death Menelaus 
the high priest, and confers that honour upon Al- 
cimus, or Jacim.us. 

Onias, the son of Onias HI, retires into Egypt, 
where Ptolemeus Pbilometor, and Cleopatra his 
wife, permit him to build a temple at Heliopolis in 
imitation of that at Jerusalem, and they constitute 
him high priest there.

Demetrius Soter, the son of Seleucus, escapes 
from Rome, and comes into Syria, where he cans 
eth himself to be crowned king, and putteth to 
death Antiochus and Lysias. 

Demetrius, at the instance of Alcimus sends Ni- 
canor Avith a great army against Judas Miccabeus, 
whom he endeavours to surprise. They join bat- 
tle, and Nicanor is slain. 

Here ends the continued history of the second 
book of Maccabees, being an abstract and breviary 
of the five books of Jason, a Jew of Cyrene. 

King Demetrius sends Bacchides with a new ar- 
my, consisting of 20,000 men, against Judas Mac- 
cabeus ; Judas, having with him but 800 men, ven- 
tures to engage him, and is slain. His brother Jo- 
nathan is chosen general in his stead. 

Jonathan enters into an alliance with the Ro- 
mans. Josephus observes, that this was the first 
league that ever was known to be between the Ro- 
mans and the Jews. 

Whilst Alcimus commands the wall of the mner 
court of the temple to be pulled down, God strikes 
him suddenly with a palsy, so that without speaking 
a word he dies in great torment. 

Jonathan, having wearied Bacchides by war, com- 
pelleth him to make a league, and draw off his army. 

Alexander Balas, the son of king Antiochus Epi- 
phanes, enters with an army into Syria ; the garri- 
son of Ptolemais set open their gates to him, by rea- 
son of their hatred to king Demetrius ; who pre- 
pares himself for war. 

Demetrius desireth an alliance with Jonathan, 
who makes use of this occasion to repair the forti- 
fications of Jerusalem. 

Alexander Balas is no less careful to obtain the 
friendship of Jonathan, and, to oblige him, confers 
on him the high priesthood. 

Jonathan puts on the holy vestment on the se- 
venth month of the 160th year of the kingdom of 
the Grecians, at the feast of tabernacles. He was 
the first high priest of the Hasmonean fomily. 

Demetrius and Alexander come to a battle, and 
Demetrius is slain, 

Alexander Balas, finding himself in the peace- 
able possession of the kingdom of Syria, espouseth 
Cleopatra, the daughter of Ptolemeus Philometor 
king of Egypt. Alexander highly honours Jonathan 
the high priest at his nuptials. 

Demetrius Nicanor, eldest son of Demetrius So- 
ter, enters into Cilicia with an army. King Alexan- 
der Balas gives the command of Syria to Apollonius, 
who sets upon Jonathan the high priest ; Jonathan 
defeats him, and takes Joppe and Azotus, and burns 
the temple of Dagon. 

Ptolemeus Philometor, king of Egypt, comes to 
the relief of king Alexander his son-in-law ; Alex- 
ander ungratefully sets Ammonius to lie in ambush 
to kill him. The treachery being discovered, Pto- 
lemeus takes away his daughter from Alexander, 
and marrieth her to Demetrius. Alexander having 
been driven from Antioch, the inhabitants of that 
place make off'er of the kingdom to Ptolemeus ; but 
be refuseth it, and persuadeth them to accept of 
Demetrius for their king. 

Alexander returns with a great army. Ptolemeus 
and Demetrius unite their forces, and overcome him 
in a pitched battle ; but Ptolemeus dies of the 
wounds which he received, after he had seen the 
head of Alexander sent to him by Zabdiel an Ara- 
'bian prince. Jonathan besiegeth the citadel at Je- 
rusalem, held by a garrison of Macedonians. Corn-

plaint hereof being made to Demetrius, Jonathan 
appeaseth him by presents, and obtaineth new fa- 
vours for the Jews. Demetrius incurreth the ha- 
tred of his soldiers by abridging their pay in time 
of peace. 

Tryphon, with some soldiers that revolted from 
Demetrius, undertakes to establish- Antiochus, the 
son of Alexander Balas, in the kingdom of Syria. 

Demetrius is vanquished by young Antiochus, 
and made to fly into Seleucia. Great honours are 
by Antiochus conferred on Jonathan, who assists 
him against Demetrius. 

Jonathan renews his alliance with the Romans 
and Lacedemonians, and fortifies Jerusalem. 

Tryphon contrives how he may quit himself of 
Antiochus, and reign in his stead : but fearing Jona- 
than's opposition, he invites him to come to Ptole- 
mais, and bring with him some few of his soldiers, 
promising to deliver that city into his hands. Jo- 
nathan, suspecting no treachery, comes only with 
1000 men to Tryphon at Ptolemais ; but as soon as 
he is entered the city, Tryphon commands the gates 
to be shut. Jonathan is taken prisoner, and all his 
men put to the sword. 

The Jews hereupon make choice of Simon Mac- 
cabeus for their general in the place of his brother 
Jonathan. Tryphon leads an army against Simon. 
He promiseth for 100 talents of silver to release Jo- 
nathan ; the money being paid him, he breaks his 
promise, and puts Jonathan to death. Simon erects 
a stately monument for his father and his brethren. 

Tryphon murders the young king Antiochus, and 
puts the crown on his own head. 

The Romans and Lacedemonians renew their 
leagues with Simon, and write them in tables of 
brass. 

Simon has the government and high priesthood 
settled on him and his heirs : the Jews are by his 
means discharged from all manner of tribute to any 
foreign prince. He takes Sion, the fortress of Je- 
rusalem, drives out of the city all idolaters, clears 
the houses of their idols, and placeth in the city 
such as are true worshippers of God. 

Tryphon's vices render him so odious to his sol- 
diers, that they submit themselves to Cleopatra, De- 
metrius's relict. She marrieth Antiochus Soter, De- 
metrius's brother, and causeth him to be crowned 
king. Antiochus drives Tryphon out of Syria, be- 
siegeth him in Dora, whence he flies to Apamea, 
where he is taken and slain. 

Simon the high priest traversing the cities of Ju- 
dea, and taking care for their orderly government, 
comes down with his two sons, Mattathias and Ju- 
das, to Jericho ; Ptolemeus, the son of Abubus, Si- 
mon's son-in-law, invites them to a castle which he 
had fortified, called Dochus, and there, whilst he 
entertains them at a banquet, barbarously murders 
them. John Hircanus succeeds his father in the 
high priesthood. 

Here ends the first book of Maccabees, containing 
the history of forty years. 

John Hircanus takes Shechem, and demolisheth 
the temple on MountGerizim 200 years after it had 
been built by Sanaballat. 

Judas, eldest son of Hircanus, otherwise called 
Aristobulus, and surnamed Philellen, succeeds his 
father in the government and the high priesthood ; 
he was the first of any, that after the return from 
the captivity of Babylon, set a crown upon his head, 
and changed the state into a monarchy.

Anna the prophetess, daughter of Phanuel, of the 
tribe of Aser, this year becoming a widow, departs 
not from the temple, but serveth God with fasting 
and prayer night and day, for 84 years together, 
until such time as she sees Christ in the temple. 

Jerusalem is this year taken by Pompey ; who 
meddles not with any of the treasure which was in 
the temple, but makes the Jews tributary to the 
Romans. 

Here begins the empire of the Roman Cesars, u-hen 
Julius Cesar, having o-derthrorcn Pompey at the bat- 
tle of Pharsalia, was made perpetual dictator. 

Herod, the son of Antipas, or Antipater, an Idu- 
mean, is this year by the Romans declared king of 
Judea. 

Herod, assisted b}' Sosius the Roman general, lays 
siege to Jerusalem, and takes it ; the soldiers fill all 
corners of the city with blood, rapine, and cruelt}'. 
Antigonus, the prince and high priest, is by Sosius 
carried away prisoner to Rome, and Herod put in 
full possession of the kingdom. 

About this time Hillel, a Babylonian, descended 
from David, flourished at Jerusalem ; one of whose 
disciples was Jonathan, the son of Uzziel, the fa- 
mous author of the Chaldee paraphrase. 

Cesar Octavianus, nephew to Julius Cesar, in his 
fifth consulship, with the assent of the senate and 
people of Rome, assumes the title of en^peror ; at 
which time the government among the Romans was 
legally changed frcm a republic into a monarchj'. 
The next year following he is by the senate sur- 
named Augustus. 

Herod this year begins to enlarge, or rather to 
rebuild, the temple at Jerusalem, 46 years before 
the first passover of the ministry of Christ, and in 
nine years and an half finisheth that magnificent 
structure. 

The angel Gabriel appears to Zachary the priest, 
as he is offering incense in the temple, telling him 
that a son shall be born unto him, whom he shall call 
John ; who also shall be a Nazarite, and the fore- 
runner of the Lord in the spirit and power of Elias. 

In the sixth month after John Avas conceived, the 
same angel Gabriel is sent by God to Nazareth in 
Galilee, to the most blessed Virgin Mary (espoused 
to Joseph, a person of the house and lineage of Da- 
vid ;) the angel declares unto her, that she shall 
conceive by the overshadowing of the Holy Ghost, 
and bring forth a son, and call his name JESUS.

The seventh Age of the World. 

CHRIST our Lord and Saviour in the fulness of 
time is born of the blessed Virgin Mary at Beth- 
lehem, and laid in a manger. 

On the eighth day after his nativity he is circum- 
cised, and named JESL^S. 

The wise men of the east bring presents to the 
new-born king of the Jews. 

Joseph flees into Egypt with the child Jesus, and 
Mary his mother. 

Herod commands the infants in and about Bethle- 
hem to be slain. 

Herod dieth, and his son Archelaus is by Cjsar 
made tetrarch of Judea : other dominions, which be- 
longed to Herod, are divided among his sons. 

Christ, by God's appointment, is brought back 
out of Egypt into Nazareth.

Augustus dies, and Tiberius succeeds him. 

Josephus, called Caiaphas, is made high priest of 
the Jews by the favour of Valerius Gratus, the 
Roman governor. 

Towards the end of this year Pontius Pilate is 
sent to be procurator of Judea in the place of Va- 
lerius Gratus. 

John the Baptist begins to preach and to baptize 
in the desert of Judea, thereby preparing the way 
of the Lord, and doing his endeavour that Christ 
coming after him may be made known unto Israel. 
Unto John God gives a sign whereby he may know 
the Lord's Christ, that upon whom he shall see the 
Spirit descending and remaining on him, the same 
is he which shall baptize with the Holy Ghost. 

Jesus, entering upon the thirtieth year of his age, 
comes from Galilee to Jordan, and is baptized of 
John ; at which time a most illustrious manifesta- 
tion is made of the blessed Trinity ; for the Son of 
God ascending out of the water, and praying, the 
heavens are opened, and the Spirit of God in the 
shape of a dove descends upon him ; and the voice 
of the Father is heard from heaven, saying. This is 
my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 

John sees it, and bears record that this is the Son 
of God. 

Jesus, full of the Holy Ghost, returns from Jor- 
dan, and is led by the Spirit into the wilderness, 
where he fasteth forty days and forty nights, and is 
tempted by the devil. 

After this our Lord returns into Galilee. 

John gives testimony to our Saviour passing by 
him ; Andrew, Peter, Phihp, and Nathaniel, ac- 
knowledge him to be the Messias, and become his 
disciples. 

Christ at a marriage in Cana of Galilee, turneth 
water into wine : this was his first miracle.

JESUS Cometh to Jerusalem at the time of the 
passover, acd entering into the temple, scourg- 
eth out those that bought and sold there. The Jews 
require a sign of his authority : Christ bids them de- 
stroy that temple, (understanding the temple of his 
body) and in three days he will raise it up. 

Herod the tetrarch casteth John the Baptist into 
prison for reprehending his incest with his brother 
Philip's wife, and other evils done by him. 

Christ discovers himself to the woman of Sama.na. 

He goes throughout all Galilee, teaching in the

77*6 third passover of Chrisfs ministry, John iv. 4 

from which the third year of the seventieth week of 

Daniel begins. 
TESUS is transfigured on the mount ; Moses and 
*^ Elias are seen to talk with him ; and a voice 
from heaven is heard a second time, saying. This 
Is my beloved Son ; hear him. 

Christ payeth tribute to Cesar. 

A certain village of the Samaritans refuseth our 
Saviour entertainment in his way to Jerusalem : the 
disciples, desiring to call for fire from heaven to 
consume them, are severely reprehended. 

The seventy disciples are sent out by two and 
two to work miracles, and to preach. 

Christ teacheth his disciples to pray. 

Christ raiseth Lazarus, that had been buried four 
days. 

Caiaphas, high priest of the Jews, prophesieth 
concerning the death of Christ. 

Zaccheus a publican converted. 

Christ restoreth to blind Bartimeus his sight. 

Mary the sister of Lazarus anoints our Saviour's 
feet with costly spikenard, and wipeth them with 
.he hair of her head. 

Christ rideth in triumph into Jerusalem ; the 
multitude spread their garments in the way, and 
cry, Hosanna to the Son of David. Coming near 
the city he weeps over it, and foretells its destruc- 
tion. He enters the temple, and casteth out those 
that bought and sold there ; and heals the blind 
and lame. 

He curseth the fruitless fig-tree, and the next 
morning it is found dried up and withered. Tlience 
he takes occasiou to shew the power of faith. 



The fourth passover, in which Christ our passover 
was sacrificed, 1 Cor. v. 7. and so an end is put 
to all legal sacrifices prefiguring this great ex- 
piation. The fourth or widdle year of DanieVs 
last week begins, Dan. ix. 27. 

ON the first day of unleavened bread, when the 
passover of the Jews was to be slain, (^April 2.) 
in the evening, Jesus eateth the passover with his 
disciples, and institutes the sacrament of his body 
and blood in bread and wine. 

Christ washeth his disciples' feet, and exhorteth 
them to humility and charity. 

In the self-same night Christ is betrayed by Ju- 
das, mocked,buffeted,and spit upon, by the soldiers. 

Next day he is condemned by Pilate, and cruci- 
fied ; the sun during the crucifixion is darkened, 
and the vail of the temple rent in the midst. 
Christ praying for his enemies gives up the ghost. 
Joseph of Arimathea begs the body, and lays it in 
a new sepulchre. 

On the third day, the next after the Jewish Sab- 
bath, {Jlpril 5.) Christ riseth from the dead ; his 
resurrection is declared by angels to the women

that came to the sepulchre. Christ first appeareth 
to Mary Magdalene, and afterward to his disciples 
and dineth with them. 

Christ bringeth his apostles to mount Olivet; 
commandeth them to expect in Jerusalem the send 
ing down of the Holy Ghost : sends them to teach 
and baptize all nations, and blesses them ; and while 
they behold, he is taken up, and a cloud receives 
him out of their sight. After his ascension the 
disciples are warned by two angels to depart, and 
to set their minds upon his second coming ; they ac- 
cordingly return, and, giving themselves to prayer, 
choose Matthias to be an apostle in the place of 
Judas. 

On the day of Pentecost {May 24.) the Holy 
Ghost descendeth on the apostles in the form of 
cloven tongues, like as of fire, and enableth them 
to speak all languages. Peter the same day preach- 
eth Christ and the resurrection, and about 3000 be- 
lievers are added to the church. 

Peter by faith in Christ's name healeth a lame 
man. 

The rulers of the Jews, oifended at Peter's ser- 
mon, and his miraculous cure of the lame man, 
cast both him and John into prison ; upon their ex- 
amination they boldly avouch the lame man to be 
healed by the name of Jesus, and that by the same 
Jesus we must be eternally saved. After this the 
Jews forbid them to speak any more in that name ; 
but the apostles answer. That it is fit they should 
obey God rather than men. They are threatened, 
and let go. 

Ananias and his wife Sapphirafor their hypocrisy 
are suddenly struck dead. 

The apostles are again cast into prison by the 
high priest ; but an angel sets them at liberty, and 
bids them preach the gospel to the people without 
fear ; being taken again teaching in the temple, 
they are brought before the council ; where by the 
advice of Gamaliel, a Pharisee, and doctor of the 
law, they are delivered. 

The number of believers increasing at Jerusa- 
lem, the apostles ordain seven deacons, who should 
distribute the alms of the whole church to the wi- 
dows and poorer sort of believers. Stephen, one of 
these deacons, having confounded some that disput- 
ed with him,is by them falsely accused of blasphemy, 
and brought before the council, where he repre- 
hends their rebellion, and murdering of Christ. 
Whereupon they cast him out of the city, and stone 
him ; he in the meantime praying for them. 

A great persecution of the Church at Jerusalem 
follows after the death of the first Martyr Stephen. 
Philip, one of the seven deacons, preacheth at 
Samaria, and converteth many ; worketh miracles, 
and healelh the sick. Simon the sorcerer, seeing 
the wonders that are done by Philip, believeth, and 
is baptized. 

The apostles at Jerusalem, hearing that Samaria 
had received the faith, send thither Peter and John 
to confirm and enlarge the Church. The apostles 
by prayer and imposition of hands confer the Holy 
Ghost on all believers. Simon Magus ofi'ers them 
money that he may receive the power of conferring 
the same, whose impiety is sharply reproved by Pe- 
ter. Having completed their ministry in those parts, 
they return to Jerusalem. 

An angel sendeth Philip to teach and baptize the 
Ethiopian eunuch.

name of Jesus, and one who consented to the death

of Stephen, goes now towards Damascus with com- 
mission from the high priest and the council to ap- 
prehend all Christians in those parts, and to hring 
them bound to Jerusalem ; on the way he is miracu- 
lously converted by a voice from heaven ; and three 
days after baptized by Ananias at Damascus, where 
he preacheth the gospel of Christ with great bold- 
ness, to the astonishment of those that knew upon 
what design he was sent thither. 

Saul having preached the gospel at Damascus a 
long time, the Jews lay wait to kill him, but he 
escapeth from thence, and comes to Jerusalem ; 
thei"e he sees Peter, and James the brother of our 
Lord, and abides with them fifteen days. Here he 
speaks boldly in the name of Jesus, and disputes 
with the Grecians, or rather Jews that used the 
Greek tongue. These also consult how they may 
kill him. 

While Saul prays in the temple, he is in a trance, 
and the Lord appears unto him, and bids him to de- 
part from Jerusalem, because they will not receive 
Ills testimony ; adding, that he will send him to the 
Gentiles. 

Saul lea\ ing Jerusalem goes to his own country 
Tarsus, and from thence travels into Syria r.nd 
Cilicia. 

Peter visits the churches of Judea, Galilee, Sa- 
maria, &c. At Lydda he cureth Eneas of the palsy ; 
and at Joppa restoreth Tabitha to life. 

At Cesarea, Cornelius, a centurion, by prayers 
and alms finds favour in the sight of God, and is 
commanded bj' an angel to send for Peter now at 
Joppa. God by a vision teacheth Peter not to de- 
spise the Gentiles. Peter, being sent for by Corne- 
lius, goes ;md preacheth Christ to him and a great 
company that were met at his house: while Peter 
preacheth, the Holy Ghost foils upon them all ; and 
immediately the apostle baptizeth them. 

Peter, at his return to Jerusalem, is accused by 
those of the circumcision for conversing with the 
Gentile^ ; but he declares to them his vision, and 
the whole matter concerning Cornelius ; and they 
glorified God for granting to the Gentiles also re- 
pentance unto life. 

The believers, who ever since the martyrdom of 
Stephen, and the persecution thereupon ensuing, 
had been dispersed throughout all Phenice and Cy- 
prus, come now to Antioch, and preach the Gospel 
to the Greeks there, having before preached to none 
but the Jews The Church at Jerusalem under- 
standing this, and that the number of believers in- 
creased exceedingly, sends Barnabas thither to con- 
firm them ; he goes to Tarsus, and takes Saul along 
with him to Antioch, where they continue a whole 
year, converting multitudes to the faith. Here the 
disciples were first called Christians. 

About this time James the brother of John is be- 
headed by the command of Herod Agrippa. He also 
imprisoncth Peter, whom an angel delivers upon the 
prayers of the church. This same Herod, not long 
after, speaking to the people at Cesarea, some of 
them cry out, It is the voice of a God, and not of a 
man : and immediately an angel of the Lord smites 
him, because he gave not the glory to God ; and he 
is eaten of worms, and dielh. 

Barnabas and Saul set forward in their preaching 
of the gospel. They plant the Christian faith in Se 
leucia, Cyprus, and other places. At Paphos they 
preach the gospel to Sergius Paulus, governor of 
that country : Elymas, a sorcerer, withstanding 
them, and endeavouring to turn away Sergius from

the faith, is at Saul's rebuke struck blind. From 
this time Saul is always called by his new name 
Paul ; he preacheth at Antioch ; the Gentiles be- 
lieve, but the Jews gainsa}' and blaspheme. Where- 
upon he and his assistants turn to the Gentiles, and 
come to Iconium. 

At Iconium they are persecuted and ready to be 
stoned. From hence they fly to Lystra and Derbe, 
cities of Lycaonia. At Lystra, Paul healing a crip- 
ple, the multitude cry out, that the gods are come 
down, and call Barnabas, Jupiter ; and Paul, Mer- 
curius ; and would have sacrificed to them, had not 
the apostles with clothes rent run in among them, 
and assured them that thej' were men like them- 
selves. Soon after there come Jews from Antioch 
and Iconium, ^vho excite the people against them, 
Paul is hy the furious multitude stoned, and drawn 
out of the city as dead ; but whilst the disciples 
stand about him, he riseth up, and the next day 
departs with Barnabas to Derbe. 

In this year, perhaps at this very time, Paul was 
caught up into the third heaven, and heard un- 
speakable words, fourteen years before he wrote 
his second epistle to the Corinthians. 

About this time Timothy, though a child, with 
his mother Eunice, and his grandmother Lois, em- 
brace the Christian faith preached by Paul. 

Certain Judaizing Christians come from Judea to 
Antioch, and teach that the Gentiles ought to be 
circumcised, and observe tb€*law of Moses ; these 
Paul and Barnabas oppose, and a council is held by 
the apostles and others at Jerusalem to determine 
this controversy. The decrees of the synod are 
sent to the churches. 

Paul and Barnabas, thinking to visit the churches 
together, fall at strife, and part asunder; Barnabas 
and Mark go into Cyprus ; Paul and Silas into Syria 
and Cilicia. 

Paul comingto Derbe finds there Timothy, whom 
(because his mother was a believing Jew, though 
his father a Gentile) he causeth to be circumcised, 
and takes him along with him. He is by a vision 
admonished to go into Macedonia ; coming to Phi- 
lippi, the chief city of that part of Macedonia, he 
converts Lydia, and casteth out of a certain maid- 
servant a spirit of divination ; her masters losing a 
considerable gain thereby, bring Paul and Silas 
before the magistrates ; these cause them to be 
whipped and imprisoned ; but at midnight, Paul and 
Silas praying and singing Psalms, the doors of the 
prison fly open, and their bonds are loosed : the. 
jailer, ready to kill himself, is converted to the faith, 
and baptized the same night with his whole family. 
Next day the magistrates come themselves^ and 
pray them to depart the city. 

From Philippi Paul takes his journey through Am- 
phipolis and ApoUonia, and comes to Thessalonica 
where he finds a synagogue of the Jews ; there he 
preacheth three sabbath-days ; some believe, others 
persecute him. Leaving Thessalonica he comes to 
Berea, and soon after arrives at Athens, disputes 
with the philosophers, and declares unto them that 
UNKNOWN GOD, whom they had ignorantly 
worshipped. He converts Dionysius the Areopa- 
gite, and thence passeth to Corinth. 

Paul at Corinth meets with Aquila and Pris- 
cilia, not long before banished Rome by the decree 
of Claudius. Here he continues a year and six 
months, and thence writes to the Thessaionians. 

Paul is accused by the Jews, and brought before 
Gallio, proconsul of Achaia, who refuseth to, h^

judge in a controversy about religion, and so drives

Paul departs from Corinth, and passeth to Ephe- 
SU5, thence he sets out towards Jerusalem, that he 
may be at the feast ; he lands at Cesarea, goes 
down to Antioch, and comes into the regions of 
Galatia and Phrygia, confirming the disciples in all 
those places. 

Paul returns to Ephesus, disputes daily in the 
school of Tyrannus, and continues preaching there, 
and the parts thereabouts. 

He writes his epistle to the Galatians. 

At Ephesus, Demetrius a silversmith, jealous of 
his gain, raiseth a tumult against Paul, which is ap- 
peased by the town-clerk. 

About this time a schism ariseth in the church at 
Corinth, which causeth Paul (now in or about Ephe- 
sus) to write his first epistle to the Corinthians. 

Paul departs from Ephesus, and comes into Ma- 
cedonia, and gath.jrs a contribution for the relief of 
the saints at Jerusalem. 

The apostle, having learnt from Titus the suc- 
cess of his first, writes now his second epistle to 
the Corinthians. Out of Macedonia he goes into 
Greece, and comes to Corinth, where he writes his 
epistle to the Romans. 

Paul purposing to go directly from thence into Sy- 
ria, that he may carry the collections to Jerusalem, 
the Jews lay wait for him ; he understanding this, 
thinks it best to return into Macedonia the same 
way he came, and thence to pass into Asia. 

After the days of unleavened bread Paul sails 
from Philippi, and comes to Troas ; there he re- 
stores Eutychus to life. Having passed through 
several cities of Greece, he arrives at Miletus ; 
from thence he sends to call the elders of the 
Church of Ephesus, whom he earnestly exhorts to 
the performance of their Anty. 

Paul comes to Jerusalem, is apprehended in the 
temple, and secured in the castle ; he claimeth the 
privilege of a Roman, and escapeth scourging. 

Paul pleadeth his cause before Ananias the high 
priest. The chief captain, understanding that above 
forty Jews had bound themselves under a curse nei- 
ther to eat nor drink till they had killed him, sends 
i him to Felix the governor of the province, by whom 
he is imprisoned at Cesarea.

Paul is accused before Felix by Tertullus the 
orator : Felix goes out of his office, and, to gratify 
the Jews, leaves Paul in prison, Porcius Festus 
succeeds him in the government. 

The Jews come to Cesarea, and accuse Paul be- 
fore Festus. He answereth for himself, and appeals 
unto Cesar. King Agrippa comes to Cesarea, and 
Festus opens the whole matter to him. 

Paul makes his defence in the presence of Agrip- 
pa ; who thereby is almost persuaded to be a Chris- 
tian, and the whole company pronounce him in- 
nocent. 

Paul comes to Rome, is a prisoner at large, and 
preacheth there two years. 
Here ends the History of the Acts of the Apostles, 

•written by St. h\ike,St. Paul's beloved companion 

in his travels. 

Saint Paul from Rome writes his epistles, 
To the Philippians. ^ 

To Philemon. 
To the Colossians. 
To the Ephesians. 

About the latter end of this year St. Paul is set 
at liberty ; and a little before his departure out of 
Italy into Asia he writes his epistle to the Hebrews 

He preacheth the gospel in the isle of Crete, 
and leaves Titus there to set things in order, and 
ordain elders in every city. 

St. Paul writes his epistles, 
To Timothy I. 
To Titus. 
To Timothy II. 

About this time the epistles of St. Peter, St. 
John, and St. Jude, seem to be written. 

St. Peter and St. Paul are said to have suffered mar- 
tyrdom at Rome at the latter end of Nero's reign. 

This year Jerusalem (according to Christ's pro- 
phecy) is besieged, taken, sacked, and burnt, by Ti- 
tus, 1,100,000 ofthe Jews perish, 97,000 are taken 
prisoners ; besides an innumerable company that in 
other places of Judea kill themselves, or perish 
through famine, banishment, or other miseries. 

St. John is banished into the isle of Patmos by Do- 
mitian, and there receives and writes his Revelation. 

After the death of Domitian St. John returns to 
Ephesus, and at the request of the Church writes 
his Gospel.

TABLES OF SCRIPTURE MEASURES, WEIGHTS, AND COINS: 

WITH AN APPENDIX, 

CONTAINING THE METHOD OF CALCULATING ITS MEASURES OF SURFACE, HITHERTO WANTING IN 

TREATISES ON THIS SUBJECT. 

By the Right Reverend Richard Lord Bishop o/" Peterborough. 






A MEASURE is a known quantity applied to another of the same 
-^*- kind that is less known, to make its dimensions better known, 
by help of numbers expressing the proportion that the known quan- 
tity bears to the unknown. The dimensions to be measured are 
three : 1 Mere length, which hath but one dimension. 2 Surface, 
which consists of length multiplied into breadth ; so it hath two di- 
mensions, as it were interwoven ; and this is always measured by 
some square surface already known, as by a square foot, or a square 
cubit, or any other square already known, by help of its side. Moses 
generally uscth the square cubit. 3 Solidity or Capacity, which

II. TABLE. Measures of Surface. 

Moses hath described these by square Cubits I here express 

them reduced to our square Feet. The method of this reduction 

is taught in an Appendix. I first propose three clear examples given 

by Moses : Secondly, I place six instances of greater difficulty. 

The clearest examples are, 

I. The Altar of Incense. Only two sides of it, mV. its length and 
breadth, are expressed by Moses ; each of them is affirmed to be 
one Cubit. Yet he declares it was four square : whence we collect, 
that it was just one square Cubit. See Exod. xxx. 2. Now it is de- 
monstrated in the Appendix, that one Jewish square Cubit amounts to 
in surface three English square Feet, and about 47 square Inches. 

II. The Table of Shew-bread, Exod. xxv. 23. It is affirmed to be 
two Cubits in length, and one in breadth. None doubt but it was rect- 
angular, containing two Jewish square Cubits. These amount to above 
six English square Feet, and above half, viz. 94 square Inches. 

III. The Boards of the Tabernacle, each 10 Cubits in length, and 
oue and an half in breadth, Exod. xxvi. 16. being rectangular, must 



contain 15 square Cubits, Jewish. These are proved to contain very 
near 50 square Feet of English Measure. 

The more difficult cases reserved to the Appendix are, 

I. The Mercy-seat, whose surflice is =-. 12 square Feet and an half. 

II. A general method is taught of reducing any given number of 
Jewish Cubits to English square Feet. 

III. The example of the 15 square Cubits in the Boards of the 
Tabernacle is made clearer. 

IV. The Court of the Tabernacle, described Exod. xxvii. 18. is 
found to be just half the Egyptian Aroura, and to contain 1 Rood; 
21 Perches, 27 square Feet, &c. 

V. The whole Aroura is determined, and reduced to our English 
Measures, 3 Roods, 2 Perches, 55 square Feet. 

VI. The suburbs, or Glebe Land, given to each city of the Levites, 
Numb. XXXV. 3, 4, 5. is shewed to be a Square, on each of the four 
sides of every city, containing a million oi Jewish square Cubits, or 100 
Aroura: ; which amount to in each Square 76 Acres, 1 Rood, 20 
Perches, 80 square Feet. Whence we collect, that all the four 
Squares amounted to 305 Acres, 2 Roods, 1 Perch, besides 51 Feet 
square.

An APPENDIX to the Second Table o/" Measures q/" Surface described 
by Moses, shewing the Method of reducing them by Calculation to the 
Measures used in England, ybr the benefit of those that understand 
Decimal Arithmetic, and desire to try the Reductions given in 
the Table, or to make further Improvements in this kind of 
Measures. 
^■T>" T SHALL begin with Reduction of the Measures of the JV/eT-c?/ 
Scat? -^ Scat, which was God's Throne of Grace among the Jews. 
Moses in Exod. xxv. 17. affirms, that its length was two Cubits and 
an half, its breadth one Cubit and an half. The fractions adhering to 
its length and breadth make some difliculty to beginners in Arithmetic, 
which the Decimal way doth much abate. Supposing therefore, what 
I have elsewhere proved, that the Jewish cubit was in Foot measure 
1.824 ; the length must be expressed in Foot measure, and Decimals 
thereof, 4.560. The breadth in like measure will be 2.736. Where- 
fore the product of these numbers multiplied into each other gives its 
surface 12.47,616: in number of its square Feet, and Decimals there- 
of, 12 square Feet, and very near half a square Foot ; if the Decimals 
had been .50, it had been just half a Foot. If we desire to express 
those Decimals of a Foot in square Inches, as is usual in England, we 
must multiply .47,616 by 144, the square Inches of a Foot, and the 
product will be 68.66,704 ; which shews that the Decimals we found 
amount to 68 square inches, and about half an Inch more : we need 
not be nicer.

2. A square Cubit /~i i • i ■ i i i t-i 

reductd to our square Cubit, which must be reduced to our Foot 
eosure. measure, thus, \\l%\ The product of these numbers 

multiplied will be the upper surface of this Altar, 3.326,976, that is, 
three square Feet, and .326,976 Decimals of a square Foot, which 
we may express by 47 square Inches, and a few Decimals of an Inch 
square inconsiderable. 

3 The Boards ^* "^oses's description of the boards of the Tabernacle, 
:>f the Taitr. Exod. xxvi. 16. by 10 Cubits in length, and one and an 
half in breadth, naturally leads a man to discern in each 
board's surface 15 Jewish square Cubits ; because if we conceive a 
line drawn from the end of one Cubit at the bottom of the Board to 
the end of one Cubit at the top of the Board, this must needs be 10 
whole square Cubits on one side of that line, and 10 half square Cubits 
(=5 whole) on the other side of that line : here therefore are 15 
square Cubits. The reduction of these into English square Feet is 
performed by multiplj'ing 15, viz. the number of Cubits given into 
3.326,976 the Feet and Decimals of one square Cubit, and the pro- 
duct will be 49.90,464, and that is very near to fifty square Feet ; 
for those Decimals amount to above 130 square Inches ; and little 
more than 13 square Inches would make it just 50 Feet, which 
abatement we need not here regard. 

4. The Court '*• L*^*- "^ now go to the measure of the surface of land. 
of the Taber- But wc will begin with the Court of the Tabernacle, the 
ground on which the Priests performed all the solemn 
public worship of Israel in Moseses time. The Area of this Court is 
described by Moses, Exod. xxvii. 18. by its length 100 Cubits, and its 
breadth every where 60 Cubits. Wherefore this Area must be in Jew- 
ish measure 5000 square Cubits, for that is the product of 100 multi- 
plied into 60, To reduce these 5000 Jewish Cubits into English square 
Feet, I must multiply 6000 into 3.326,976, the product is 16,634.88 
English square Feet. 

But in cases of such long numbers of Feet we use for brevity's sake, 
and to help our memories, to reduce them into Perches, or Roods, or 
Acres, which contain known numbers of square Feet. A Perch con- 
tains 272 square Feet and i. A Rood i3=to 1 0,890 square Feet. An 
Acre is=to 43,560 square Feet. It is plain that the number 16,634.88 
hath not integers equal to those of an Acre ; but it hath enough to 
answer those in a Rood, and some overplus ; therefore I must divide 
16,634.88 by 10,890, which is a Rood. By such division continued in 
the Decimal way, until I have a fr.iction of five or six places, which is 
exact enough, I find the quote to be 1 .527,637, which assures me that 
my number 16,634.88 hath but once entirely in it a whole Rood : but 
it hath moreover in it many Decimal parts of a Rood. These therefore 
I reduce to the Perches contained in them, by multiplying them into 
40, which is the number of Perches that make up a Rood : and cutting 
off six places from the product, which is 21.101,480 ; so I find there 



are 21 Perches entire, and the figures after the Separatrix are Deci- 
mals of a Perch. These also I multiply by 272.26, which are the 
square Feet and Decimals of a Perch. The product of this last mul- 
tiplication, after eight places cut off from it by the Separatrix, be- 
cause there were six places of Decimals in one of the multipliers, 
and two in the other, is 27.62,793,000. Hence I learn that there 
are therein but 27 entire Feet, all the eight Decimal places amount 
to little above half a foot, and therefore I cast them away as incon- 
siderable in the measure of land. This method of reduction by mul- 
tiplication of Decimals I find to be easier than the common way of 
reduction by division, and therefore I propose it to be used by be- 
ginners in this practice of surveying. So I find this court to contain 
in English measure 1 Rood, 21 Perches, 27 Feet, and little more 
than half a foot squared. But reflecting upon Moses's measure by 
Cub-its, and finding them to be precisely 5000 square Cubits, I ob- 
served that they were just half 10,000, which I had observed from 
Herodotus' s Euterpe to be the Area of the Egyptian Aroura, by which 
their land was as generally measured, as ours is by Acres and Roods. 
See Herodot. 1. 2. c. 168. 1 called also to mind a passage in Manetho 
an Egyptian Priest, cited by Josephus in his first book against Apion, 
where he affirms, that Manetho in his history of the reign, wars, ani 
expulsion, of the Pastors (v.'hom Africanus affirms to be Phcenicians, 
or Canaanites, and Josephus vainly believed to be Jews,) wrote out of 
the public Records of Egypt, that these Pastors made at Abaris a 
very large and strong encampment, that encompassed 10,000 ./2ro«ra, 
sufficient to contain 240,000 men, and long to maintain their cattle. 
Hence it appears, that not only the Egyptians, but the Phoenicians or 
Canaanites also, that had dwelt among them, and had reigned there 
during the time of six kings successively, used this measure of land 
called Aroura. Now this was long before Moses's time ; for the be- 
ginning of Amosis or Teihmosis, who expelled them out of Egypt, was 
very near the time of Abraham's death, as appears by the annals of 
the learned Primate of Ireland. Wherefore I believe that Moses, 
who was skilled in all Egyptian learning, especially surveying, did 
of choice make the Court of the Tabernacle to be just half an Aroura, 
which was a known measure to him and his people, who had long 
dwelt in Egypt, and Divine Authority directed him so to do. 

6. Because we have shewn from Herodotus, that an 5. The Reduction of a>, 
Aroura is the square of 100 Jewish or Egyptian Cu-Aroura«o English mea- 
bits, and 100 such Cubits may in English Foot mea-""^"' 
sure be expressed by 182.4 English Feet, it follows, that the square of 
this number will express exactly the number of the English square 
Feet that are contained in an Aroura. Now by multiplication of 
182.4 into itself, I find the product to be 33,269.76 : Therefore I con- 
clude that there are 33,269 square Feet entire, and .76 Decimals of a 
square Foot, in an Aroura. Now to reduce these English square Feet 
into Roods, Perches, and the remainder of square Feet, I use the me- 
thod used in the last paragraph : First, I divide them by 10,890, the 
square Feet in a Rood ; and the quote I find 3.055,074, that is 3 Roods, 
and .065,074 Decimals of a Rood. Secondly, I multiply those Deci- 
mals by 40, which is the number of Perches in a Rood, the product is 
2.202,960. Hence I conclude there are therein two Perches, and 
.202,960 Decimals of a Perch. Thirdly, I multiply these last Deci- 
mals by 272.25, which are the square Feet of a Perch. The product 
is 55.25,586,000, that is 65 entire square Feet ; the eight places of 
Decimals amount to little above ^ of a square Foot, therefore I reject 
them as inconsiderable in measure of land. By all these reductions 
it is found, that an Aroura is in English measure three Roods, two 
Perches, 55^ square Feet. Hence it follows also, that it is not well 
translated by Jugerum, for it is much larger ; nor is it well in Eng- 
lish called an Acre, for it is considerably less. To this place I refer 
the use of the lesser sort of X'^'--' which yet is most convenient for 
the use of the Egyptians, and of the Jews, to measure out private 
men's inheritances by a line which was 80 Cubits long. For the 
length of this line will measure one side of an Aroura, if the other 
side be 125 Cubits long, which is the length of this line, and its half, 
and 5 Cubits above half of it, which they might easily mark on it by 
a knot or a ring. And by this means they might easily lay any num- 
ber of Arourw together, all of them rectangular and parallel to each 
other. Such lines I suppose for measure of inheritances are inti- 
mated. Psalm Ixxviii. 65. and xvi. 6, &c.

6. The 5, I shall conclude with an example amountine after reduc- 
Gieit. tion to a number of English Acres, which measure we have not 
yet reached to. This I take from JVumb. xxxv. 3, 4, 5, verses. 
There Moses describes what measure of land the Levites were to be 
allowed for their cattle, their goods, and all their beasts, on the 
north, east, south, and west sides of each of their cities. So that 
the city was to be in the midst of the land belonging to it. This 
land in our translation is called suburbs, because of its nearness to 
all their cities. But we must not thence imagii;e that it means 
houses and streets adjoining to their cities, in which sense we some- 
times use the word suburbs. For Moses plainly tells us they were 
places for their several sorts of cattle to feed in, such as might also 
be orchards or gardens for fruits, or perhaps for a Httle corn, com- 
prehended in the words, their goods. These fields he limits by 
1000 Cubits, which was just a quarter of an eastern mile, but 
amounts in mere length to 608 yards English measure, and therefore 
exceeds a quarter of an English mile by 168 yards in length. But 
it is certain that cattle cannot feed upon mere length, but this must 
sio'nify the side of some surface of land bounded thereby, and we 
must have two sides of that surface given, before we can find the 
Area, or surface contained. Therefore Moses, verse 5. tells us, that 
on each side of each city they must measure 2000 Cubits, which 
will determine no surface, unless we understand it to mean the two 
sides of a square, bounded on every side by 1000 Cubits ; these two 
sides multiplied into each other will produce a square that contains 
just a million of square Cubits, and that is a known and exact mea- 
sure of just 100 Arource : and this shews that the 2000 Cubits men- 
tioned verse 5. are the two sides of that square, whereof the 1000 
mentioned verse 4. is one, and may be called the root of the square. 
This shews the agreement of the two different numbers. The re- 
duction of this million of square Cubits will be performed by the 
same method that 1 have used before. Therefore, first, I express 
1000 Jewish Cubits by 1324 English Feet, without any Separatrix, 



according to the principles owned in Decimal Arithmetic ; and the 
square of that number will be 3,326,976, without a Separatrix 
Secondly, \ divide this number by 43,560, which are the square 
Feet of an Acre, and find the quote to be 76.376,859, which signify 
76 entire Acres, and .376,859 Decimals of an Acre. Thirdlj', to find 
what Roods are contained in these Decimals, I multiply them by 
four, the number of Roods in an Acre, and find the quote to be 
1.507,436, which proves that there is but one Rood in them, and 
the six figures cut off by the Separatrix (because there were six 
Decimals in one of the multipliers) are all Decimals of a Rood. 
Fourthly, therefore to find what Perches are in these last Decimals, 
I multiply them by 40, which is the number of Perches contained 
in a Rood. The product is 20.297,440 ; hereby 1 find thei-e are 
20 entire Perches, besides the Decimals of a Perch placed after the 
Separatrix. Fifthly^ to find what square Feet are in those last 
Decimals, I multiply them by 272.25, which are the square Feet 
and Decimals in a Perch, the product is 80.97,804, which is 80 
square Feet, and all the Decimals not amounting to a square Foot, 
I reject as inconsiderable in measure of land. Thus we have found 
that this and every other square on each side of every Levitical 
City, was prescribed to be 76 Acres, 1 Rood, 20 Perches, 80 square 
Feet in our measure, but was just a million of square cubits in their 
measure. 

To add the four squares belonging to one Levitical City together, 
the best way will be to take the first quote that we found in Acre 
measure, viz. 76.376,859, and we must multiply it by four, and we 
shall find, by the method I have used, all the four squares together 
to amount to 305 Acres, 2 Roods, 1 Perch ; we need not take 
notice of any lesser quantities in this case. We may also by this 
method find the sum of the Acres belonging to all the 48 cities of the 
Levites, and many other improvements in this kind of measuring 
surfaces. But I leave them to the industry of others.

A CHRONOLOGICAL INDEX OF THE YEaRS AND TIMES 



FROM ADAM UNTO CHRIST, PROVED BY THE SCRIPTURES, FROM THE COLLATION OF DIVERS AUTHORS. 



The sum of the years of the first age. 
FROM Adam unto Noah's flood are years 

1656. 
For when Adam was 150 vears old he b^gat 

Seth. 
Seth, being 105 years, begat Enos. 
Enos, being 90 years, begat Cainan. 
Cainan, being 70 years, begat Mahaialeel. 
Mahalaleel, being 65 years, begat Jared. 
Jared, at the age of 162, begat Enoch. 
Enoch, being 65 years, begat Methuselah. 
Methuselah, at the age of 187, begat Lamech. 
Lamech, being 182 years, begat Noah. 
Noah, at the coming of the flood, was 600 

years old, as appeareth in the 7th chapter 

of Genesis. 

The whole sum of the years are 1656. 

FROM the flood of Noah unto Abraham's 

departing from Chaldea, were 422 years 

and ten days. 
For the said flood continued one whole year 

and ten days. 
Shem, (',vho was Noah's son) begat Arphaxad 

two years after that. 
Arphaxad begat Salah when he was 35 years 

old. 
Salah, being 30 years old, begat Eber. 
Eber, at the age of 34, begat Peleg. 
Peleg, being 30 years, begat Reu. 
Reu, being 32 years, begat Serug. 
Serug, being 30 years, begat Nahor, 



Nahor, being 29 years, begat Terah. 

Terah, being 130 years, begat Abram. 

And Abraham departed from Chaldea when 

he was 70 years old. 
These, accounted, are 422 years and 10 days, 

FROM Abraham's departing from Ur in 

Chaldea unto the departing of the chil- 
dren of Israel, are 430 years, gathered as 

followeth : 
Abraham was in Charran five years, and de 

parted in the 75 year : 
Begat Isaac when 100 years old, in the 25th 

year of his departing. 
Isaac begat Jacob, when 60 years old. 
Israel was in Egypt 220 years. 
Then deduct 80 years from this ; for so old 

was Moses when he conducted the Israelites 

from Egypt. 
So the rest of the years, that is to say, 130, 

are divided between Amram and Kohath. 
Then Kohath begat Amram at the age of 67 

years. 
Amram being 65 years, begat Moses, who, in 

the 80th year of his age, departed with the 

Israelites from Egypt. 
So this chronology is the 430 years mentioned 

in the 12th chapter of Exodus, and the 3d 

chapter to the Galatians. 

FROM the going forth of the Israelites from 
Egypt, unto the first building of the temple. 



are 480 years, after this chronology and 

account. 
Moses remained in the desert or wilderness 

40 years. 
Joshua and Othniel ruled 40 years. 
Ehud, 80 years. 
Deborah, 40 years. 
Gideon, 40 years. 
Abimelech, 3 years. 
Tola, 23 years.

Eli, judge and priest, 44 years. 
Samuel and Saul reigned 40 years.

Solomon, in the 4th year of his reign, began 

the building of the temple. 

These are the 480 years mentioned in 
the first book of Kings, chap vi. 

FROM the first building of the temple, unto^ 
the captivity of Babylon, are 419 years and 
an half. 

Solomon reigned yet 36 years.

Th« sum of these years is 419 and 6 months. 



JERUSALEM was re-edified, and built again 
after the captivity of Babylon, 70 years. 

The captivity continued 70 years. 

The children of Israel were delivered the 
first year of Cyrus. 

The temple was begun to be built in the se- 
cond year of the said Cyrus, and finished in 
the 46th year, which was the 6th year of 
Darius. After that Darius had reigned 20 
years, Nehemiah was restored to liberty, 
and went to build the city, which was finish- 
ed in the 32d year of the said Darius. 

All the years from the building of the temple 
again, are 26 years. 

The whole sum of years amount to 70. 

FROM the re-edifying of the city, unto the 
coming of Christ, are 483 years after this 
chronology. 



It is mentioned in the ninth chapter of Daniel, 
that Jerusalem should be built up again, 
and that from that time, unto the coming of 
Christ, are 69 weeks, and every week is 
reckoned for 7 years. So 69 weeks amount 
to 483 years ; for, from the 32d year of 
Darius, unto the 42d year of Augustus, in 
which year our Saviour Christ was born, 
are just and complete so many j^ears ; 
whereupon we reckon, tha-t from Adam un- 
to Christ, are 3974 years, six months, and 
ten days ; and from the birth of Christ, 
unto this present year, is 1819. 

Then the whole sum and number of years, 
from the beginning of the world unto this 
present year of our Lord God 1819, are 
5793 years, six months, and the said odd 
ten days.

JUDEA, PALESTINE, OR THE HOLY LAND 



PALESTINE is bounded on the north, by Mount Libanus, 
or Lebanon, which separates it from that part of Syria, 
anciently called Phaenicia ; on the east by Mount Herrnon, 
vvhich divides it from Arabia Deserta ; on tlie south by Arabia 
Petrae; and on the west by the Mediterranean Sea, or sea of Syria. 

This country received the name of Palestine from the Philis- 
tines, who dwelt on the sea coast : it was called Judea, from Ju- 
dah : and it is termed the Holy Land, being the country where 
Jesns Christ was born, preached his holy doctrines, confirmed 
them by miracles, and laid down his life for mankind. Palestine 
is about one hundred and eighty-five miles in length, and gene- 
rally eighty in breadth ; it is situated between 31° and 33° 40' 
north latitude. 

Tiie climate of Palestine is, during a great part of the year, 
very ho^ The easterly winds are usually dry, though they are 
sometimes tempestuous ; and those which are westerly, are at- 
tended with rain. The heat here might be expected to be exces- 
sive ; yet Mount Libanus, from its uncommon height, is covered 
all the winter with snow. 

The first rains, as they are called, generally fall about the be- 
ginning of November ; and the latter rains, in the month of April. 
In the country round Jerusalem, if a moderate quantity of snow 
falls in the beginning of February, and the brooks soon after 
overflow their banks, it is thought to forbode a fruitful year ; and 
the inhabitants make rejoicings upon this occasion, as the Egyp- 
tians do with respect to the Nile : this country is seldom refreshed 
with rain during the summer season. 

The rocks of Judea are, in many places, covered with a soft 
chalky substance, in which is enclosed a great variety of shells 
and corals. The greatest part of the mountains of Carmel, and 
those of Jerusalem and Bethlehem, are overspread with a white 
chalky stratum. In mount Carmel, are gathered many stones, 
wliich, being in the form of olives, melons, peaches, and other 
fruit, are imposed upon pilgrims, not only as those fruits petri- 
fied, but as antidotes against several diseases. 

With respect to the rivers of the country, the Jordan, called 
by the Arabs Sceriah, is not only the most considerable, but, 
next to the Nile, is the largest, either in the Levant or in Barbary. 
It has its source at tlie bottom of Mount Libanus or Lebanon, 
and is formed from the waters of two fountains, which are about 
a mile distant from each other. One of them lies to the east, and 
is called Jor ; the other, which is exposed to the south, is named 
Dan. The confluence of the two streams is found near the an- 
cient city of Cesarea Philippi, which is at present only a village, 
and called Beline. The river takes a course between the E. and 
S. and after running seven miles, falls into the lake Samochon or 
Matiion, at present called Huletpanias, about six miles in length, 
from north to south, and nearly four in breadth, from east to west. 
The Jordan issues from this lake, and flows through a great 
plain, passing under a stone bridge called Jacob's Bridge, con- 
sisting of three arches, well constructed. The river then con- 
tinues its course as far as the lake of Tiberias, near the ancient 
cities of Chorazin and Capernaum, where it mixes with its wa- 
ters. When it issues from this lake, which is about eighteen 
miles in length, and eight in breadth, it takes the name of Jordan 
Major, dividing Perea from Samaria, the plains of the Moabites 
from Judea, and receiving the waters of the Dibon, the Jazer, 
the Jacob, and the Carith ; after being augmented by these 
streams, in a course of sixty-five miles from the lake of Tiberias, 
or sea of Galilee, it discharges itself into the Dead Sea. The 
Jordan, in the rainy seasons, overflows its banks, to the distance 
of more than four miles ; and on account of the inequality of the 
ground, forms two or three channels. Its current is extremely 
rapid, and the water always muddy : but when taken from the 
river, and put into any kind of vessel, it very soon clarifies, and 
is sweet. 



The Dead Sea is a name of modern date ; the ancients cahed 
it the lake of Asphaltites, the sea of Sodom, the Salt sea, the 
lake of Sirbon ; the Arabs name it Bahheret-Lut : that is, the 
sea of Lot. It is about fifty miles in length, and ten in breadth. 
The lofty mountains of the country of the Moabites are on the 
eastern side, and discharge into it the waters of Arnon and the 
Jaret. On the west and south it is bounded by very high moun- 
tains also. It is likewise on the west that the brook Cedron, 
which rises at Jerusalem, empties into this sea. 

We are informed that this vast lake was covered formerly 
with fruit trees and abundant crops, and that from the bosom of 
the earth, now buried under its waters, arose the superb cities of 
Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboiim and Segor. No plants of 
any kind grow in this lake. The bottom of it is black, thick, 
and fa?tid. Branches of trees, which fall therein, become petri- 
fied in a little time. The Dead Sea produces a kind of bitumen, 
which may be found floating on the surface, lilce large lumps of 
earth. This bitumen is a sulphurous substance, mixed with salt; 
it is as brittle as black pitch, is combustible, and exhales, while 
burning, a strong and penetrating smell. The ancient Arabs 
used it for smearing and embalming their dead, to preserve them 
from perishing. The mountains near this sea produce a kind of 
black stone, which, when polished, has a beautiful lustre. 

Acra, or Acre, (now called St. John de Acre, and which the 
Arabs call Accho, or Akka,) is one of the places from which the 
Israelites could not expel the ancient Canaanites, and was for- 
merly reckoned among the ancient cities of Phoenicia. It is also 
known by the name of Ptolemais. The situation is advantageous; 
on the north and east, it is encompassed by a fertile plain ; on 
the west it is washed by the Mediterranean ; and on the south by 
a large bay, which extends from the city as far as Mount 
Carmel. It contains little more than a few cottages, and heaps 
of ruins. The residence of the bashaw of the province is at this 
place. 

To the south of Acre, is Sebasta, the ancient Samaria, the 
capital of the ten tribes after their revolt from the house of David. 
It is seated on a long mount, which rises in a fruitful valley, and 
is now converted into gardens. 

A little farther to the south is Naplosa, the ancient Sychem, 
which stands in a narrow valley, between Mount Ebal on the 
north, and Gerizim on the south. At a small distance from Na- 
plosa, is Jacob's well, famous for Christ's conference with the 
woman of Samaria. 

Jerusalem is encompassed with hills, so that the city seems as 
if situated in an amphitheatre : there are few remains of the city, 
as it appeared in Christ's time; the situadon being changed; 
for. Mount Sion, the highest part of ancient Jerusalem, is almost 
excluded : while the places adjoining to Mount Calvary, are 
nearly in the centre. This city, which is about three miles in 
circumference, is situated on a rocky mountain, on all sides of 
which are steep ascents, except towards the north. The walls 
are not strong, nor have they any bastions. The city has six 
gates. There are supposed to be about twelve or fourteen thou- 
sand inhabitants in Jerusalem. 

Jasa, the ancient Joppa, is the port where the pdgrims disem- 
bark. They generally arrive in November, and repair without 
delay to Jerusalem. 

Bethlehem, also called Ephrata, and the city of David, is fa- 
mous for being the birth-place of Christ. It is about two miles 
to the S. E. of Jerusalem, on the ridge of a hill ; at present only 
an inconsiderable place. 

Raha, the ancient Jericho, is eighteen miles N. E. of Jerusa- 
lem, situated in a plain six or seven leagues long, by three wide, 
surrounded by a number of barren mountains. 

Habroun, or Hebron, is twenty-four miles S. of Bethlehem. 
The Arabs call it El-Kahil, the well-beloved. It is situated at

cient castle. 

Nazareth, now only a small village, is on the top of a high 
hill. 

Cana of Galilee, otherwise called Cana Minor, celebrated for 
the miracle wrought by Christ, of changing the water into wine, 
is nothing more than a small village, with very few inhabitants. 

Sidon, called by the Turks Sayd, is situated on the sea-coast. 
It was anciently a place of great strength, and had a very ex- 
tensive commerce. Though it is still populous, and a place of 
considerable trade, it has fallen from its ancient grandeur. Its 
exports consist in silks, with raw and spun cotton ; the manu- 
facturing of which employs most of the inhabitants, amounting 
to about five thousand. The city is defended by an old castle, 
built in the sea. 

Tyre, called by the Turks Sour, is about twenty miles to the 
south of Sidon. It was once very celebrated for its purple, called 
the Tyrian dye, produced from a shell-fish. This city was, in 
ancient times, the centre of an immense commerce and naviga- 
tion, and the nurse of arts and sciences. Tiie ancient city stood, 
originally, on an island, joined to the main land by a mole ; the 
remains of which appear at present. It has two harbours; that 
on t'lie north side is very good ; but the other is choked up with 
ruins. The present inhabitants are only a few poor fishermen, 
who live in vaults and caves. 

Cesarea was at first called Strabo's Tower ; and was the ca- 
pital of Palestine. This city was divided into two parts by a 
.'ittle hill, whereon was erected a temple dedicated to Cesar. 

Jericho is situated in a large plain about twenty miles long, 
and ten broad, bounded by a variety of mountains on the south- 
west, the west, and north ; it is at present inhabited by a few 
miserable Arabs. 

The Mount of Forty days, is situated on the north side of the 
plain of Jericho : the summit is covered neither with shrubs, 
trees, nor earth, but consists of a solid mass of white marble : it 
is very difficult and dangerous to ascend, the path leading by a 
winding course, between two dismal abysses. This mountain is 
one of the highest in the province, and one of its most sacred 
places. It takes its name from the rigorous fast which Christ 
observed here. From this mount may be seen the hills of Arabia, 



the country of Gilead, the country of the Ammonites, the plains 
of Moab, and that of Jericho, the river Jordan, and the whole 
extent of the Dead Sea. Opposite to Jericho, beyond Jordan, 
rises mount Nebo. 

Mount Carmel, on the south side of the bay of Acre, projects 
at one part into the sea, forming a great promontory, called the 
point of Carmel. There are a number of grottos, gardens, and 
convents, on this mount ; as also many cisterns for receiving the 
rain water. On this mountain was a fortress called Ecbatane. 

Mount Tabor is most delightfully situated, rising amidst the 
plains of Galilee, distant about twelve miles from the city of Ti- 
berias ; it is distinguished by different names, as Itabyrion, Ta- 
burium, and by the Arabs Gibel-el-Tor. It is in appearance 
like a sugar-loaf, and is covered from the top to the bottom with 
small trees. 

Palestine, which comprehends the ancient country of Canaan, 
and was occupied by nine tribes of Israel, has experienced many 
and severe revolutions : the extreme fertility of the country, and 
its many advantages and happy situation, induced the neigh- 
bouring and powerful kingdoms to attempt its subjection : most 
of them succeeded in retlucing to obedience and slavery, the 
peaceable inhabitants . the Persians, Saracens, Syrians, and 
RomanSj have alternately been masters, for a time, and then 
obliged to yield to superior force : they treated the conquered 
with the utmost barbarity, and committed the greatest devasta- 
tion and slaughter ; not even sparing old or young, women, or 
helpless children. Thus it continued changing its ferocious 
masters, until, in the twelfth century, the Turks taking Cesarea, 
the whole country fell into their possession ; and has continued 
under their power ever since : The innumerable scenes of blood 
and desolation exhibited in this country, have changed it from 
that happy, fruitful and prosperous state, so beautifully described 
in Deuteronomy, to an almost uninhabited desert, and heap of 
ruins ; few traces of its ancient splendor remain; and confusion 
and doubt hang over all the researches of the enquirer. 

The present masters exercise unlimited and tyrannical autho- 
rity over their slaves, in Palestine, keeping the miserable inhabi- 
tants in the utmost subjection ; governing them by Caliphs and 
Bashaws, with rods of iron ; and holding them in the most de- 
plorable ignorance and superstition.

All Account of the Lives, Sufferings, and Martyrdom, of the Apostles and Evangelists. 



I. St STEPHEN, tlie Proto, or first martyr, was elected, 
with six others, as a deacon, out of the Lord's seventy disciples. 
Stephen was an able and a successful preacher. The principal 
persons belonging to five Jewish synagogues entered into many 
altercations with him ; but he, by the soundness of his doctrine, 
ami strength of his arguments, overcame them all, which so 
much irritated them, that thev suborned false witnesses to accuse 
him of blaspheming God and Moses. Being carried before the 
council, he made a noble defence, but that so much exasperated 
his judges, that they resolved to condemn him. At this instant 
Stephen saw a vision from heaven of Jesus, in his glorified state, 
sitting at the right hand of God. This vision so greatly rejoiced 
him, that he exclaimed in raptures, " Behold, I see the heavens 
opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God." 
Tliey then condemned him, and having dragged him out of the 
city, stoned him to death. On the spot where he was martyred, 
Eudocia, the empress of the emperor Theodosius, erected a su- 

^ perb church. 

The death of Stephen was succeeded by a severe persecution 
].\ Jerusalem, in which 2000 christians, with Nicar the deacon, 
were martyred ; and many others obliged to leave the place. 

II. St. JAMES the Great, a Gahlean, was the son of Zebe- 
dee, a fisherman, the elder brother of St. John, and a relation to 
Christ himself; for his mother Salome was cousin-german to the 
virgin INIary. Being one day with his father fishing in the sea 
of Galilee, he, and his brother John, were called by our Saviour 
to become his disciples. They cheerfully obeyed the mandate, 
and leaving their father, followed Jesus, ft is to be observed, 
that Christ placed a greater confidence in them, than in any oth- 
er of the apostles, Peter excepted. 

Chuist called these brothers Boanerges, or the sons of thun- 
der, on account of their fiery spirits, and impetuous tempers. 

Herod Agrippa, being made governor of Judea by the em- 
peror Caligula, raised a persecution against the christians, and 
particularly singled out James as an object of revenge. 

James, being condemned to death, shewed such an intrepidity 
of spirit, and constancy of mind, that his very accuser was struck 
with admiration, and became a convert to Christianity. This 
transition so enraged the people in power, that they condemned 
him likewise to death ; when James the aposde, and his penitent 
accuser were both beheaded on the same day, and with the same 
sword. These events took place in the year of Christ 44. 

Much about the same period, Timon and Parmenas, two of 
the seven deacons, suffered martyrdom ; the former at Corinth, 
and the latter at Phiiippi, in Macedonia. 

III. St. PHILIP. This apostle and martyr was born at 
Bethsaida, in Galilee, and was the first called by the name of 
Disciple. He was honored with several important commissions 
by Christ, and being deputed to preach in Upper Asia, laboured 
very diligently in his apostleship. He then travelled into Phry- 
gia, and arriving at Heliopolis, was greatly grieved to find tiie 
inhabitants so sunk in idolatry, as to worship a large serpent. 
St. Philip, however, converted many of them to Christianity, and 
even procured the death of the serpent. This so enraged the 
magistrates, that they committed him to prison, had him severely 
scourged, and afterwards crucified. His friend, St. Bartholo- 
mew, found an oppoi-tunity of taking down the body and bury- 
ing it ; for which, however, he was very near suffering the same 
fate. His martyrdom happened eight years after that of St. 
James the great, A. D. 52. 



IV. St. JNIATTHEW. This evangehst, apostle, and martyi, 
was born at Nazareth in Galilee, but resided chiefly at Caper- 
naum, on account of his business, which was that of a toll-ga- 
therer, to collect tribute of such as had occasion to pass the sea 
of Galilee. On being called as a disciple, he immediately com- 
plied, and left every thing to follow Christ. After the ascension 
of his master, he continued preaching the gospel in Judea about 
nine years. Designing to leave Judea, in order to go and preach 
among the Gentiles, he wrote his gospel in Hebrew, for the use 
of the Jewish converts ; but it was afterwards translated into 
Greek by St. James the less. Going to Ethiopia he ordained 
preachers, settled churches, and made many converts. He then 
proceeded to Parthia, where he had the same success ; but re- 
turning to Ethiopia, he was slain by a halbert in the city of Na- 
dabar, about the year of Christ 60. He was remarkably inof- 
fensive in his conduct, and temperate in his mode of living. 

V. St. mark. This evangelist and martyr was born of 
Jewish parents, of the tribe of Levi. It is imagined, that he was 
converted to Christianity by St. Peter, whom he served as an 
amanuensis, and whom he attended in all his travels. Being 
entreated by the converts at Rome to commit to writing the ad- 
mirable discourses they had heard from St. Peter and himself: 
this request he complied with, and composed his gospel accord- 
ingly, in the Greek language. He then went to Egypt and 
constituted a bishopric at Alexandria : afterwards he proceeded 
to Lybia, where he made many converts. Returning to Alex- 
andria, some of the Egyptians, exasperated at his success, de- 
termined on his death. To accomplish this they tied his feet, 
dragged him through the streets, left him to remain, bruised as 
he was, in a dungeon all night, and the next day burned his 
body. This happened on the 25th of April. His bones were 
carefully gathered up by the christians, decently interred, and 
afterwards removed to Venice, where he is considered as the 
tutelar saint, and patron of the state. 

VI. St. JAMES the less. This apostle and martyr was call- 
ed so to distinguish him from St. James the great. He was the 
son, by the first wife, of Joseph, the reputed father of Christ : ho 
was, after the Lord's ascension, elected bishop of Jerusalem : he 
wrote his general epistle to all christians, and converts whatever, 
to suppress a dangerous error then propagating, viz. " That 
a faith in Christ was alone sufficient for salvation, without good 
works." The Jews being, at this time, greatly enraged that 
St. Paul had escaped their fury, by appealing to Rome, deter- 
mined to wreak their vengeance on James, who was now 94 
years of age : they accordingly threw him down, beat, bruised, 
and stoned him ; and then dashed out his brains with a club^ 
such as were used by fullers in dressing cloths. 

VII. St. MATTHIAS. This apostle and martyr was called 
to the apostleship after the death of Christ, to supply the vacant 
place of Judas, who hr.d betrayed his master, and was likewise 
one of the seventy disciples. He was martyred at Jerusalem 
being first stoned, and then beheaded. 

VIII. St. ANDREW. This apostle and martyr was bro- 
ther to St. Peter, and preached the gospel to many Asiatic na- 
tions. Arriving at Edessa, the governor of the country, named 
Egeas, threatened him very hard for preaching against the idols 
there worshipped. St. Andrew persisting in the propagation of 
his doctrines, he was ordered to be crucified on a ci-oss, two ends 
of which were transversely fixed in the ground. He boldly told 
his accusers, that he would not have preached the glory of the 



1009 



6M 



cross, had he feared to die on it. And again, when they came 
to crucify him, he said, that he coveted the cross, and longed to 
embrace it. He was fastened to the cross, not with nails but 
cords, that his death might be more lingering. In this situation 
he continued two days, preaching the greatest part of the time 
to the people ; and expired on the 30th of November. 

IX. St. peter. This great apostle and martyr was born 
at Bethsaida in Galilee, being the son of Jonah, a fisherman, 
which employment St. Peter himself followed. He was persuad- 
ed by his brother to turn christian, when Christ gave him the 
name of Cephas, implying in the Syriac language, a rock. He 
was called, at the same time as his brother, to be an apostle ; 
gave uncommon proofs of his zeal for the service of Christ, and 
always appeared as the principal speaker among the apostles. 
He had, however, the weakness to deny his master, after his 
apprehension, though he defended him at the time ; but the sin- 
cerity of his repentance made an atonement for the atrocious- 
ness of his crime. 

The Jews, after the death of Christ, stiU continued to perse- 
cute the christians, and even went so far as to order several of 
the apostles, among whom was Peter, to be scourged. This 
punishment they bore with great fortitude, and rejoiced that they 
were thought worthy to suffer for the sake of Christ. 

Herod Agrippa having caused St. James the great to be put 
to death, and finding that it pleased the Jews, resolved, in order 
to ingratiate himself farther with the people, that Peter should 
fall a sacrifice to their malice. He was accordingly apprehended, 
and thrown into prison ; but an angel of the Lord released him, 
which so enraged Herod, that he ordered the centinels, who 
guarded the dungeon in which he had been confined, to be put 
to death. St. Peter, after various other miracles, retired to 
Rome, where he defeated all the artifices, and confounded the 
magic of Simon, the magician, a great favourite of the emperor 
Nero : he likewise converted to Christianity one of the concu- 
bines of that monarch, which so exasperated the tyrant, that he 
ordered both St. Peter and St. Paul to be apprehended. Dur- 
ing the time of their confinement, they converted two of the 
captains of the guard, and 47 other persons to Christianity. 
Having been nine months in prison, Peter was brought out from 
thence for execution, when, after being severely scourged, he 
was crucified with his head downwards ; which position, how- 
ever, was at his own request. He, as well as Paul, suffered on 
the 29th day of June. His body being taken down, embalmed, 
and buried in the Vatican, a church was afterwards erected on 
the spot ; but this being destroyed by the emperor Heliogabulus, 
the body was removed, till the 20di bi.shop of Rome, cahed 
Cornelius, conveyed it again to the Vatican : afterwards Constan- 
tine the great erected one of the most stately churches in the 
universe over the place. Before we quit this article it is requisite 
to observe, that previous to the death of St. Peter, his wife suf- 
fered martyrdom for the faith of Christ, and was exhorted, when 
going to be put to death, to remember the Lord Jesus. 

X. St. PAUL, the apostle and martyr, was a Jew of the 
U-ibe of Benjamin, born at Tarsus, in Cilicia. He was at first 
a great enemy to, and persecutor of the christians ; but after his 
miraculous conversion he became a strenuous preacher of Christ's 
gospel. At Iconium, St. Paul and St. Barnabas were near be- 
ing stoned to death by the enraged Jews ; wherefore they fled 



to Lycaonia. At Lystra, St. Paul was stoned, dragged out CJ 
the city, and left for dead. He, however, happily revived, and 
escaped to Derbe. At Philippi, Paul and Silas were imprisoned 
and whipped ; and both were again persecuted at Thessalonica. 
Being afterwards taken at Jerusalem, he was sent to Cesarea, 
but appealed to Cesar at Rome. Here he continued a prisoner 
at large for two years. Being released, he visited the churches 
of Rome, and preached in France and Spain. Returning to 
Rome, he was again apprehended, and, by the order of Nero, 
martyred, by being beheaded. 

Xi. St. JUDE, the apostle and martyr, the brother of James, 
was commonly called Thaddeus. Being sent to Edessa, he 
wrought many miracles, and made many converts, which stir- 
ring up the resentment of people in power, he was crucified, 
A. D. 72. 

XII. St. BARTHOLOMEW preached in several countries, 
performed many miracles, and healed various diseases. He 
translated St. Matthew's gospel into the Indian language, and 
propagated it in that country : but at length, the idolaters grow- 
ing impatient with his doctrines, severely beat, crucified, and 
flayed him, and then cut off his head. 

XIII. St. THOJMAS, as he was called in Syriac, but Didy- 
mus in Greek, was an apostle and martyr. He preached in 
Parthia and India, where, displeasing the Pagan priests, he was 
martyred by being thrust through with a spear. 

XIV. St. LUKE, the evangelist and martyr, was the author 
of a most excellent gospel. He travelled with St. Paul to Rome, 
and preached to divers barbarous nations, till the priests in Greece 
hanged him on an olive-tree. 

XV. St. SIMON, the apostle and martyr, was distinguished 
by the name of Zelotes, from his zeal. He preached with great 
success in Mauritania, and other parts of Africa, and even m 
Britain, where, though he made many converts, he was crucified 
by the then barbarous inhabitants of that island, A. D. 74. 

XVI. St. JOHN. This saint was, at once, a prophet, apostle, 
divine, evangelist, and martyr. He is called the beloved disci- 
ple, and was brother to James the great. He was previously a 
disciple of John the Baptist, and afterwards not only one of the 
twelve apostles, but one of the three to whom Christ communi- 
cated the most secret passages of his life. The churches in Asia 
founded by St. John were, Smyrna, Pergamos, Sardis, Philadel- 
phia, Laodicea, and Tliyatira, to whom he directs his book of 
Revelations. Being at Ephesus, he was ordered by the emperor 
Domitian to be sent bound to Rome, where he was condemned 
to be cast into a caldron of boiling oil. But here a miracle ap- 
peared in his favour ; the oil did him no injury, and Domitian 
therefore not being able to put him to death, banished him to 
Patmos to work at the mines. He was, however, recalled by 
Nerva, who succeeded Domitian after his decease, but was deem- 
ed a martyr on account of his having undergone the mode of an 
execution, though it did not take effect. He wrote his epistles, 
gospel, and revelations ; all in a different style ; but they are all 
equally admired. He was the only apostle v/ho escaped a vio- 
lent death : lived the longest of any of them, being near 100 
years of age at the time of his death. 

XVII. St. BARNABAS was a native of Cyprus, but of 
Jewish parents : the time of his death is uncertain, but supposed 
to be about the year of Christ 73.
